The Redheaded Princess

The Redheaded Princess

Ann Rinaldi

Rinaldi has created another remarkable historical fiction novel. This one centers on the life of Queen Elizabeth I from her earliest days to her ascension to the throne. The danger and romance of her teen years along with the intrigue, pageantry, and intertwining relationships keep the reader turning pages.

Elsewhere

Elsewhere

Gabrielle Zevin

Liz died at age fifteen and has been sent to Elsewhere, a beautiful place where each individual is allowed to pursue the career or activity that is most fulfilling. Unfortunately, what Liz wants more than anything is to earn her driver’s license, go to prom and fall in love—and in Elsewhere, those things will never happen. A miserable Liz decides to do something about it! An interesting look at an alternative view of afterlife with rich, memorable characters.

Beauty Pop

Beauty Pop Vol. 1

Kiyoka Arai

Beauty Pop is about the life of a naturally talented hairstylist named Kiri Koshiba and her problems with the Scissors Project (S.P.), a group of boys determined to become the best makeover team in Japan. While the boys of the Project continue to rule the school, a mysterious figure begins giving "magical" makeovers in secret, threatening the Project's power; this leads to an inevitable showdown battle, with scissors replacing swords, and an even more inescapable cliffhanger.
