THE TRUE TALE OF THE MONSTER BILLY DEAN
ALMOND, DAVID
Billy Dean is a secret child. He has a beautiful young mother and a father who arrives at night carrying the
scents of candles and incense and cigarettes. Birds fly to his window. Mice run out from his walls. His
world is a carpet, a bed, pictures of the holy island, and a single locked door. His father fills his mind and
his dreams with mysterious tales and memories and dreadful warnings. But then his father disappears,
and Billy’s mother brings him out into the world at last. He learns the horrifying story of what was saved
and what was destroyed on the day he was born, the day the bombers came to Blinkbonny. The kind
butcher, Mr. McCaufrey, and the medium, Missus Malone, are waiting for him. He becomes The Angel
Child, one who can heal the living, contact the dead, bring comfort to a troubled world. But there is one
figure who is beyond healing, who comes looking for Billy himself — and is determined on a kind of
reckoning.

TWO BOYS KISSING
LEVITHAN, DAVID
David Levithan tells the based-on-true-events story of Harry and Craig, two 17-year-olds who are about to
take part in a 32-hour marathon of kissing to set a new Guinness World Record—all of which is narrated
by a Greek Chorus of the generation of gay men lost to AIDS. While the two increasingly dehydrated and
sleep-deprived boys are locking lips, they become a focal point in the lives of other teen boys dealing with
languishing long-term relationships, coming out, navigating gender identity, and falling deeper into the
digital rabbit hole of gay hookup sites—all while the kissing former couple tries to figure out their own
feelings for each other

UNBREAKABLE
GARCIA, KAMI
When Kennedy Waters finds her mother dead, her world begins to unravel. She doesn't know that
paranormal forces in a much darker world are the ones pulling the strings. Not until identical twins Jared
and Lukas Lockhart break into Kennedy's room and destroy a dangerous spirit sent to kill her. The
brothers reveal that her mother was part of an ancient secret society responsible for protecting the world
from a vengeful demon -- a society whose five members were all murdered on the same night. Now
Kennedy has to take her mother's place in the Legion if she wants to uncover the truth and stay alive.
Along with new Legion members Priest and Alara, the teens race to find the only weapon that might be
able to destroy the demon -- battling the deadly spirits he controls every step of the way.
