New Books: Oct. 2012 (Part 1)

Here are the new books for October!

The Usual Rules by Joyce Maynard
It's a Tuesday morning in Brooklyn - a perfect September day. Wendy is heading to school, eager to make plans with her best friend, worried about how she looks, mad at her mother for not letting her visit her father in California, impatient with her little brother and with the almost too-loving concern of her jazz musician stepfather. She's out the door to catch the bus. An hour later comes the news: A plane has crashed into the World Trade Center - her mother's office building. 

Always Upbeat/All That by Stephanie Perry Moore & Derrick Moore
Urban Teen Fiction Flip Book - showing the point of view from two sides- the cheer squad and the football team. Want a different point of view? Just flip the book!...because every story has two sides. The Lockwood High cheer squad has it all. And the ballers are hot, tough, and on point. But where there's cheer, there's drama…

Ten by Gretchen McNeil
Ten teens head to a house party at a remote island mansion off the Washington coast . . . only for them to picked off by a killer one by one...

Butter by Erin Jade Lange

Girl Out Loud by Emily Gale
Fifteen-year-old Kass is trying to resist her manic-depressive father's attempts to make her try out for "The X Factor" while she also deals with her crush on the same older boy her best friend likes, her distant mother's mysterious comings and goings, and her younger brother's criminal activities.
