Rayne & Delilah's Midnite Matinee, written by Jeff Zentner, is a contemporary novel about two best friends in their senior year of high school in Jackson, TN. Every Friday night, best friends Delia and Josie become Rayne Ravenscroft and Delilah Darkwood, hosts of the campy creature feature show Midnite Matinee on the local cable station TV Six. With the end of senior year quickly approaching, the girls face tough decisions about their futures. Josie has been dreading graduation, as she tries to decide whether to leave for a big university and chase her dream career in mainstream TV. Scary movies are the last connection Delia has to her dad, who abandoned the family years ago. If Midnite Matinee becomes a hit, maybe Delia's dad will see it and want to be a part of her life again. Maybe Josie will stay with the show instead of leaving Delia behind. As the tug-of-war between growing up and growing apart tests the bonds of their friendship, Josie and Delia start to realize that an uncertain future can be both monstrous...and momentous. This delightfully humorous book will be shelved in Teen General.
The Warrior Maiden, by New York Time's bestselling author Melanie Dickerson, is a fresh reimagining of the classic Mulan tale. Mulan is trying to resign herself to marrying the village butcher for the good of her family, but her adventurous spirit just can’t stand the thought. At the last minute, she pretends to be the son her father never had, assumes his duties as a soldier, and rides off to join the fight to protect the castle of her liege lord’s ally from the besieging Teutonic Knights. Wolfgang and his brother, Steffan, leave Hagenheim with several other soldiers to help their father’s ally in Poland. When they arrive, Wolfgang is exasperated by the young soldier Mikolai who seems to either always be one step away from disaster or showing Wolfgang up in embarrassing ways. When Wolfgang discovers his former rival and reluctant friend Mikolai is actually a girl, he is determined to protect her. The battlefield is a dangerous place where anything can happen, and usually does. When Mulan receives word that her mother has been accused of practicing witchcraft through her healing herbs and skills, Mulan’s only thought is of defending her. Mulan then has to decide whether to trust Wolfgang to help or to sacrifice her own life to save her mother. This book will be shelved in the Hagenheim series in Teen Spiritual.
