CONTROL<br />

KANG, LYDIA<br />

Set in 2150 -- in a world of automatic cars, nightclubs with auditory ecstasy drugs, and guys with four<br />

arms -- this is about the human genetic "mistakes" that society wants to forget, and the way that outcasts<br />

can turn out to be heroes. When their overprotective father is killed in a terrible accident, Zel and her<br />

younger sister, Dylia, are lost in grief. But it's not until strangers appear, using bizarre sensory weapons,<br />

that the life they had is truly eviscerated. Zel ends up in a safe house for teens that aren't like any she's<br />

ever seen -- teens who, by law, shouldn't even exist. One of them -- an angry tattooed boy haunted by<br />

tragedy -- can help Zel reunite with her sister. But only if she is willing to lose him.<br />

CURTSIES AND CONSPIRACIES<br />

CARRIGER, GAIL<br />

Sophronia's first year at Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality has<br />

certainly been rousing! For one thing, finishing school is training her to be a spy (won't Mumsy be<br />

surprised?). Furthermore, Sophronia got mixed up in an intrigue over a stolen device and had a cheese<br />

pie thrown at her in a most horrid display of poor manners. Now, as she sneaks around the dirigible<br />

school, eavesdropping on the teachers' quarters and making clandestine climbs to the ship's boiler room,<br />

she learns that there may be more to a school trip to London than is apparent at first. A conspiracy is<br />

afoot--one with dire implications for both supernaturals and humans. Sophronia must rely on her training<br />

to discover who is behind the dangerous plot-and survive the London Season with a full dance card.<br />

THE DARKEST PATH<br />

HIRSCH, JEFF<br />

For the last several years, a civil war has raged between the Glorious Path — a militant religion based on<br />

the teachings of a former US soldier — and what’s left of the US government. The Glorious Path seeks<br />

complete control of the country, and those they capture are given the Choice: convert or be killed. Fifteenyear-old<br />

Cal and his younger brother were captured and forced to convert five years ago. Cal gets along<br />

until he befriends a stray dog named Bear, and then kills a commander who wants to train Bear to be a<br />

brutal attack dog. This sends Cal and Bear on the run and sets in motion a series of events that will test<br />

Cal’s loyalties and beliefs, ending in a brutal battle that the fate of the entire country rests on.<br />
