New Books for your Dog Days of August (part 3)

Money Run by Jack Heath
Action/Adventure
Fifteen-year-olds Ashley and Benjamin are planning the heist of a lifetime, but they are not counting on a hit man who has plans of his own.

Crushed by Sara Shepard
Mystery 
It's springtime in suburban Rosewood, which means iced soy lattes, fresh manicures in shimmering pastels--and prom. But while everyone else is flipping through the racks at Saks in search of the perfect dress, Hanna, Spencer, Emily, and Aria are on a different kind of hunt: They're looking for A. . . . Hanna puts her campaign for prom queen on the back burner to volunteer at the burn clinic, where one of A's victims is recovering. Emily digs into Ali's past at the mental hospital with some very crazy consequences. Spencer contacts a private eye to help her stalk her stalker. But when their sessions get a little too private, they may forget to keep their eyes on A. . . . And Aria's worried that A is even closer than she thought. When her dark secret from Iceland finally comes to light, she discovers that maybe, just maybe, the one person she's been trying to hide the truth from has known all along. The liars are finally taking the fight to A. But no matter what they do, A's always one step ahead, ready to crush the girls completely.

 Shadow on the Sun by David MacInnis Gill
Science Fiction/Fantasy 
Everything Durango has ever valued, from Mimi, the sarcastic artificial intelligence implanted in his brain, to his beloved lieutenant, Vienne, to his own life may be at risk when his father, Lyme, tries to force him to become the Prince of Mars.

 Sweet Peril by Wendy Higgins
Paranormal 
An unexpected lost message from the angels surfaces, and sweet Southern girl Anna, daughter of a guardian angel and a fallen one, finds herself traveling the globe in an attempt to gain support for her cause from fellow Nephilim. Meanwhile, her true love, Kaiden Rowe, the son of the Duke of Lust, is plaguing her heart and mind.

The Wells Bequest by Polly Shulman
Science Fiction/Fantasy 
Leo never imagined that time travel might really be possible, or that the objects in H. G. Wells' science fiction novels might actually exist. And when a miniature time machine appears in Leo's bedroom, he has no idea who the tiny, beautiful girl is riding it. But in the few moments before it vanishes, returning to wherever--and whenever--it came from, he recognizes the other tiny rider: himself! His search for the time machine, the girl, and his fate leads him to the New-York Circulating Material Repository, a magical library that lends out objects instead of books. Hidden away in the Repository basement is the Wells Bequest, a secret collection of powerful objects straight out of classic science fiction novels:nbsp;robots, rockets, submarines, a shrink ray--and one very famous time machine.
