Lily and the Christmas Wish, Keris
Stainton (paperback)
Can
one little girl and her dog make a town’s Christmas wishes come true?
Christmas
is fast approaching, and the town of Pinewood has decided to do something
really special to celebrate. Each person will write down a secret wish and tie
it to the town’s Christmas tree!
Nine-year-old
Lily isn’t quite convinced. She's not sure that she believes in wishes coming
true – although she really wants to.
But
then a strange storm blows in, scattering the wishes…and Lily wakes up the next
morning to find that her adorable pug puppy, Bug, can talk! It's a wish come
true…only it isn’t Lily’s wish.
It
seems the storm has sent the Christmas magic awry, and now it's down to Lily,
her youngest brother James and Bug to sort out the mixed-up wishes. But can
they fix things before Christmas Eve?
This was completely and utterly
lovely! Thanks Hot Key!
Seven Ways We Lie, Riley
Redgate (e-proof)
In
Seven Ways We
Lie, a chance encounter tangles the lives
of seven high school students, each resisting the allure of one of the seven
deadly sins, and each telling their story for their seven distinct points of
view.
The
juniors at Paloma High School all have their secrets, whether it’s the thespian
who hides her trust issues onstage, the closeted pansexual who only cares about
his drug-dealing profits, or the neurotic genius who’s planted the seed of a
school scandal. But it’s Juniper Kipling who has the furthest to fall. No one
would argue that Juniper – obedient daughter, salutatorian, natural beauty, and
loyal friend – is anything but perfect. Everyone knows she’s not a saint, not a
sinner; but when love is involved, who is Juniper to resist temptation? When
she begins to crave more and more of the one person she can't have, her charmed
life starts to unravel.
Then
rumours of a student-teacher affair hit the fan. After Juniper accidentally
exposes her secret at a party, her fate falls into the hands of the other six
sinners, bringing them into one another’s orbits. All seven are guilty of
something. Together, they could save one another from their temptations – or be
ruined by them.
Riley
Redgate’s twisty YA debut effortlessly weaves humour, heartbreak, and
redemption into a drama that fans of Jenny Han and Stephanie Perkins will
adore.
I’m SO looking forward to this! A
student-teacher relationship and a pansexual character! Thanks Amulet Books and
NetGalley!
