She has no idea who she is or how she got there or why she has these crazy abilities like superspeed and fluency in other languages.

I need the last installment of Jessica’s UNREMEMBERED trilogy pronto! The story, which concludes this year, revolves around Seraphina, a girl who wakes up at the beginning of the first book floating among plane wreckage with absolutely no memories. I have no doubt that this story, like ORIGIN and VITRO, will be smart, fast-paced, and completely addicting!Īges 12 and up | Publisher: Razorbill | Febru| ISBN-13: 978-1595147653 Unchanged Set in the Kalahari dessert, KALAHARI is a high-stakes conspiracy story about a contagious and deadly virus that Corpus has unleashed in Africa. Each book in this trio (which isn’t a trilogy, because each story stands alone) is set in an exotic location and revolves around a chilling science experiment conducted by Corpus, a nefarious multinational company. I devoured Jessica’s first two novels, ORIGIN and VITRO, which are companions to KALAHARI. I can’t wait to see how Tamara weaves poetry into what I am sure will be a beautifully rendered coming-of-age story.Īges 14 and up | Publisher: Disney-Hyperion | 2015 Kalahari The story follows a competitive swimmer with OCD who is taken in by the misfit members of a secret poetry club that meets below the school theater. Since I adored her first two novels, TIME BETWEEN US and TIME AFTER TIME, I have very high hopes for Tamara Ireland Stone’s latest, EVERY LAST WORD, which will be out next year. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two kids. She is an entertainment lawyer and television writer. Lauren Miller is the author of Paralleland FREE TO FALL, both published by HarperTeen.
