JUVIE
WATKINS, STEVE
Sadie Windas has always been the responsible one — she’s the star player on her AAU basketball team,
she gets good grades, she dates a cute soccer player, and she tries to help out at home. Not like her
older sister, Carla, who leaves her three-year-old daughter, Lulu, with Aunt Sadie while she parties and
gets high. But when both sisters are caught up in a drug deal — wrong place, wrong time — it falls to
Sadie to confess to a crime she didn’t commit to keep Carla out of jail and Lulu out of foster care. Sadie is
supposed to get off with a slap on the wrist, but somehow, impossibly, gets sentenced to six months in
juvie. As life as Sadie knew it disappears beyond the stark bars of her cell, her anger — at her exboyfriend,
at Carla, and at herself — fills the empty space left behind. Can Sadie forgive Carla for getting
her mixed up in this mess? Can Carla straighten herself out to make a better life for Lulu, and for all of
them? Can Sadie survive her time in juvie with her spirit intact?

KATE TATTERSALL: ADVENTURES IN CHINA
FLEMING, R. S.
Fifteen-year-old Kate’s dreams of a life of adventure have, so far, only led her as far as her brother Jack’s
workshop, where she tests his inventions—motors, gadgets, even weapons. But when Jack engineers a
trip for Kate to China —telling her she is going to meet a prospective suitor—she discovers that Jack is
not just a hobbyist; his creations are used by the British Secret Service, and now Jack expects Kate to
deliver an important item to the brilliant teenage doctor, Henry Tattersall. Kate’s seemingly simple trip
turns into adventure when Tattersall falls ill, and Kate ends up facing off against opium traders in Canton.
But now that her dreams are being fulfilled, does Kate have the courage to see her unexpected mission
through to the end?

LITTLE RED LIES
JOHNSTON, JULIE
The war is over, but for thirteen-year-old Rachel, the battle has just begun. Putting childhood behind her,
she knows what she wants - to prove she has acting talent worthy of the school drama club, and what she
doesn't want - to romantically fall for someone completely inappropriate. Worries about her veteran
brother's failing health and repugnance at her mother's unexpected and unwanted pregnancy drive her to
seek solace from a seemingly sympathetic, but self-serving teacher. The lies she tells herself hoping to
reach solutions to the problems complicating her life merely function to make matters worse. Ultimately,
she finds a way to come to terms with life as it reaches an end and life as it begins.
