Dramatic, action-packed, and enhanced with a delightful and unexpected romance, INSIGNIA is the start of a compulsively readable new series. Gripping and provocative, S.J. Kincaid’s futuristic thrill ride of a debut crackles with memorable characters, tremendous wit, and a vision of the future that asks startling, timely questions about the melding of humanity and technology.

Selected as a PW Flying Start with rave reviews in Entertainment Weekly, NPR, USA Today, and other major media, this debut is, as School Library Journal put it, a “finely crafted, sophisticated coming-of-age debut novel is multilayered, finessing such issues as loss, first love, and friendship.” Thoughtful, engaging, and beautifully crafted, emily m. danforth’s literary debutis unlike anything else out there.

NEVER FALL DOWN by Patricia McCormick

As the Los Angeles Times raved, “‘Never Fall Down’ is as likely to inspire tears as it is to stick with readers for a lifetime.”  I couldn’t agree more. It’s achingly raw, horrifying, beautiful, desperate, and hopeful…all in equal measure. You will want to share Arn’s powerful story with everyone you know…it is truly unbelievable and will move you to the core.

SMART GIRLS GET WHAT THEY WANT by Sarah Strohmeyer

Readers will fall in love with Gigi—a quirky, hilarious, and oh-so-endearing heroine. A perfect pick for fans of Meg Cabot and readers who just want to kick back and have fun.

STARCROSSED & DREAMLESS by Josephine Angelini

STARCROSSED is a beautifully realized, impeccably researched debut. Angelini has created a masterful epic tale, weaving classic Greek mythology with a thoroughly modern storyline set in contemporary Nantucket. Richly imagined and written with a pitch-perfect sense of urgency, this spectacular debut will have readers flying through the pages. In its rave review Booklist praised, “The riveting plot twists and turns as the myth’s destiny translates into present-day terrors, dreams, and hopelessness, and its execution is seamless.”

With a heroine that Kirkus described as “refreshingly strong,” DREAMLESS exceeds all expectations in a sequel brimming with romance, high drama, and mythology–all woven together in a wonderfully fresh and contemporary way. Just in time for summer and perfect for beach reading, DREAMLESS is one book you won’t want to miss!
