Darius the Great is Not Okay
“Darius has never really fit in at home, and he’s sure things are going to be the same in Iran. His clinical depression doesn’t exactly help matters... Then Darius meets Sohrab, the boy next door, and everything changes. Soon, they’re spending their days together, playing soccer, eating faludeh, and talking for hours on a secret rooftop overlooking the city’s skyline. Adib Khorram’s brilliant debut is for anyone who’s ever felt not good enough—then met a friend who makes them feel so much better than okay.”--Provided by publisher.
What Made Maddy Run
“Madison Holleran ran track at the University of Pennsylvania. She was popular and beautiful...And from the outside, Madison appeared to be thriving in college, too. But inside, she was struggling with anxiety and depression. Then, in the middle of her freshman year, Madison ended her life by jumping from a building in the middle of downtown Philadelphia. The suicide raised a lot of questions about mental health on college campuses. And it got Fagan wanting to understand What Made Maddy Run”-Aisla Chang, NPR’s Morning Edition
Frat Girl
There’s a feminist in the frat house.
“In order to secure a scholarship to attend one of the nation’s most prestigious universities, freshman Cassie Davis pitches a project: to join Delta Tau Chi, an embattled fraternity and document their behavior. But getting the scholarship is only the beginning.”--Provided by publisher.
Dance of Thieves by Mary E. Pearson
"A formidable outlaw family that claims to be the first among nations. A son destined to lead, thrust suddenly into power. Three fierce young women of the Rahtan, the queen's premier guard. A legendary street thief leading a mission, determined to prove herself. A dark secret that is a threat to the entire continent. When outlaw leader meets reformed thief, a cat-and-mouse game of false moves ensues, bringing them intimately together in a battle that may cost them their lives--and their hearts"--Provided by publisher.

Landscape with Invisible Hand by M.T. Anderson
At first the alien invasion doesn’t seem so bad: illnesses cured, technology advanced. But over time, jobs are replaced and families have no income. Adam’s solution is to provide what the aliens want and will pay for: 50’s style dates he records with his girlfriend he now hates and sells by the minute.
