It's the END of the WORLD as we know it?! New YA releases!

One of my store's highest selling subjects in the Young Adult genre is Post-Apocalyptic Fiction (no big surprise with all of the Post-Apocalyptic blockbuster movies floating around out there!) Since I myself love delving into the what ifs & maybes of humanity's possible future, I'm very excited about these new & upcoming Young Adult releases!



THE LINE by Terri Hall

"An invisible, uncrossable physical barrier encloses the Unified States. The Line is the part of the border that lopped off part of the country, dooming the inhabitants to an unknown fate when the enemy used a banned weapon. It's said that bizarre creatures and super humans live on the other side, in Away. Nobody except tough old Ms. Moore would ever live next to the Line.

Nobody but Rachel and her mother, who went to live there after Rachel's dad died in the last war. It's a safe, quiet life. Until Rachel finds a mysterious recorded message that can only have come from Away. The voice is asking for help.

Who sent the message? Why is her mother so protective? And to what lengths is Rachel willing to go in order to do what she thinks is right?"

THE OWL KEEPER by Christine Brodien-Jones

"Maxwell Unger has always loved the night. He used to do brave things like go tramping through the forest with his gran after dark. He loved the stories she told him about the world before the Destruction—about nature, and books, and the silver owls. His favorite story, though, was about the Owl Keeper.

According to Max’s gran, in times of darkness the Owl Keeper would appear to unite owls and sages against the powers of the dark. Gran is gone now, and so are her stories of how the world used to be. Max is no longer brave. The forest is dangerous, the books Gran had saved have been destroyed, and the silver owls are extinct. At least that’s what the High Echelon says. But Max knows better.

Maxwell Unger has a secret. And when a mysterious girl comes to town, he might just have to start being brave again.

The time of the Owl Keeper, Gran would say, is coming soon."

COMING SOON!

I can't WAIT to get my hands on these fascinating new titles! Can you?

Happy Doomsday Reading, friends!
