This Week’s YA News and New Books

Sponsored by All These Monsters by Amy Tintera, published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.

From New York Times best-selling author Amy Tintera comes this high-stakes sci-fi adventure about a teen girl who will do anything to escape her troubled home—even if that means joining a dangerous monster-fighting squad.

Clara is ready to fight back. Fight back against her abusive father and most of all, fight back against scrabs, earth-dwelling monsters that are ravaging the world. When an opportunity arises for Clara to join a monster-fighting squad, she jumps at the chance. But as Clara gains confidence in her battle skills, she starts to realize scrabs might not be the biggest evil. The true monsters are the ones you least expect.
