FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Ready for the weekly buffet of what’s new in YA?
This week there are at least five exciting new Young Adult titles available for your consideration, including the much-fussed “Taken” by Erin Bowman, which follows a boy existing in a society where all boys are “heisted” at the age of eighteen. “Legend” author Marie Lu called the book “[a]n action-packed thrill ride from beginning to end. I devoured this in one sitting and might have gnawed a nail or two off from all the excitement. More, please!”
Meanwhile, a new installment to the quick-paced fun of the “Zom-B” series in, and the third and final bit to the “Belles” series is here too!
On the heavier side of things, “Nine Days” brings a story of societal perseverance in the far east – based on the true tale of a family which was part of the Chinese Democracy Movement – and “The Spectacular Now” author Tim Tharp threatens to tug out our heartstrings once again by bringing out his “Mojo”!
Hit the attached list for the covers and descriptions for each of the five new titles!
!["Taken" by Erin BowmanThere are no men in Claysoot. There are boys—but every one of them vanishes at midnight on his eighteenth birthday. The ground shakes, the wind howls, a blinding light descends . . . and he's gone.They call it the Heist. Gray Weathersby's eighteenth birthday is mere months away, and he's prepared to meet his fate—until he finds a strange note from his mother and starts to question everything he's been raised to accept: the Council leaders and their obvious secrets, the Heist itself, and what lies beyond the Wall that surrounds Claysoot—a structure that no one can cross and survive.Climbing the Wall is suicide, but what comes after the Heist could be worse. Should he sit back and wait to be taken—or risk everything on the hope of the other side?](https://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/profile_large/hash/29/7f/1365762489_6021_B1.JPG?itok=XkyPqlhY ""Taken" by Erin BowmanThere are no men in Claysoot.

!["Mojo" by Tim TharpAll Dylan wants is mojo. What is mojo? It's power. The ability to command respect. It's everything Dylan doesn't have. He gets no respect at school, and when he finds the dead body of a classmate, even the police push him around. All the thanks he gets for trying to help the investigation with his crime drama skills is a new nickname at school: Body Bag. So when Dylan hears about a missing rich girl from the other side of town, he jumps at the chance to dive into this mystery. Surely if he cracks a case involving a girl this beautiful and this rich, he'll get not only a hefty cash reward, but the mojo he's looking for. His investigation takes him into the world of an elite private high school and an underground club called Gangland. As Dylan—along with his loyal friends Audrey and Randy—falls down the rabbit hole, lured by the power of privilege, he begins to lose himself. And the stakes of the game keep getting higher.](https://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/profile_large/hash/c2/cf/1365762489_5137_B5.JPG?itok=eXDwz0kR ""Mojo" by Tim TharpAll Dylan wants is mojo.
