After three days in the dark,
the fight for power begins
ERICWALTERS
The Neighborhood, Book 1:
The Rule of Three
PHOTO CREDIT: KRISTINA LAUKKANEN
One afternoon, every single machine in sixteen-year-old
Adam’s high school computer lab stops working. Outside,
cars won’t start, phones are down, and a blackout is
widespread. Soon Adam will discover that the problem
has paralyzed not just his town but the whole country and
beyond. As resources dwindle, crises mount, and chaos
descends, he will see that his suburban neighborhood must
band together for protection.
Award-winning author ERIC
WALTERS is one of Canada’s
best-known and most prolific
writers of fiction for children and
young adults. He has published
over eighty novels, which have
won over 100 awards, including
eleven separate children’s choice
awards, and have been translated
into over eleven languages around
the world. He is the only threetime winner of both the Ontario
Library Association Silver Birch
and Red Maple Awards.

Violence will erupt and Adam will understand that having a
police captain for a mother and a retired government agent
living next door are not just the facts of his life but the keys
to his survival.
Set in the here and now but with a distinctly dystopian feel,
this is Eric’s most exciting and commercial title yet!

Blues for Zoey
PHOTO CREDIT: MACHIKO WESTON
Kaz Barrett isn’t saving for college. Every penny he earns
working at the sketchy Sit’N’Spin Laundromat is for his mother.
He plans to send her to a top-notch (and very expensive) sleep
clinic in New York. His mother suffers from an extremely rare
neurological disorder that causes her to fall asleep for days
at a time. Both he and his kid sister, Nomi, worry that one day,
maybe tomorrow, their mother will fall asleep and never
wake up ...
ROBERT PAUL WESTON’s
first novel, Zorgamazoo, was a
multiple award winner: the Silver
Birch Award, the Audie Award,
the California Young Reader
Medal and an E.B. White Read
Aloud Honor Book. Dust City
was a Canadian Library Association Young Adult Honour Book,
and was shortlisted for both the
Red Maple Award and the Edgar
Allen Poe Award for Best Young
Adult Mystery.
At the start of summer, everything seems on track. Come
September, Kaz will have earned all he needs and more.
However, when anarchic, pink-haired Zoey walks past the
laundromat’s window, Kaz’s ordered life begins spinning
out of control. Smart, mysterious, and full of music, Zoey is
unlike anyone Kaz has met … but there’s another side to her
that he can’t quite figure out. When he goes looking for
answers, he finds a whirlwind of lies, half-truths, and violence.
And in the eye of the storm, he’ll discover that you really
can’t con an honest man ...
Praise for Dust City

mystery, a coming of age story, and a
vivid fantasy … Dust City is a winner.”

The triumphant, pulse-racing conclusion

LESLEYLIVINGSTON
Book 3, the Never series
Now and for Never
PHOTO CREDIT: JOHN RAIT
Past and present collide on the high seas when Clare and Allie
hurtle back in time once more in a perilous attempt to retrieve
Marcus Donatus—Allie’s blast-from-the-past crush—and put an
end, once and for all, to the Time Monkey Shenanigans.
LESLEY LIVINGSTON is the
author of Once Every Never,
winner of the inaugural Copper
Cylinder Award and shortlisted
for the CLA Young Adult Book
Award and the BC Stellar Book
Award. She is also the author of
the Wondrous Strange and
Starling trilogies. She lives
in Toronto.
But when Clare and Allie unexpectedly find themselves
temporal stowaways on a Roman warship full of looted Celtic
gold, sailing straight for the heart of a magic-fuelled maelstrom,
there’s not much they can do but hang on for the ride—and
hope Milo can tap into the Druid lore trapped in his genius
brain to help bring them home, before it’s too late. The only
thing that’s going to save Clarinet Reid and Allie McAllister
now is if they join forces with old enemies, new loves … and
unexpected friends.

Family secrets, international conflicts and
exciting hockey action, all in one!
MICHAELBETCHERMAN
Face-Off
PHOTO CREDIT: CLAUDETTE JAIKO
Seventeen-year-old Alex Petrovic is thrilled to be in a world
junior hockey championship as goaltender, but he is completely
stunned when he comes face to face with another goalie from
an eastern European country who is identical to him. Although
he initially dismisses it as a very odd coincidence, Alex soon
knows it’s something much more than that: his mother faints
dead away when she sees this player.
In fact, the other goalie is Alex’s long-lost twin brother,
Gordon, whom his mother assumed was killed along with the
boys’ father back in their home country when it was ripped
apart by civil war—the reason why Alex and his mother
fled to Canada.
MICHAEL BETCHERMAN is an
award-winning screenwriter and
author with numerous credits in
both documentary and dramatic
television. He is also the writer/
creator of Suzanne and The
Daughters of Freya, two online
novels. His most recent work,
Breakaway, was his first novel
for young adults. Betcherman
lives in Toronto with his wife
and daughter.
@MBetcherman
Gordon’s presence also stirs up old feelings among family
members about the civil war, which was the cause of their
father’s death. When two war criminals escape capture, Alex
has a renewed interest when he learns that they may be headed
to Canada. And when certain suspicious activities start taking
place at his uncle’s travel agency, Alex’s interest sharpens …
Praise for Breakaway:
“I read the entire book in one sitting.
It was that good.”
—Emilie’s Book World
“I literally could not stop reading. There
were new surprises every couple of chapters
that kept me guessing until the very end.
Breakaway is not a crime scene or a hockey
game or a sob story. It has everything wrapped
up in one, which is what made it so amazing.”
—Riverbkstar (GoodReads)

Compelling story: Exciting hockey
action set against the backdrop of family

about the fact that Clare is now seriously dating Milo,

Breakaway
Sixteen-year-old Nick Macklin’s life has been divided in two:
before his father went to jail, and after.
Before, he was an A student and a talented hockey player with lots
of friends, a girlfriend, and the greatest dad in the world—a man
who not only was there for him after his mom died, but was also a
star player for the Vancouver Canucks.

sentence for a crime he says he didn’t commit. Angry and bitter,
alienated from school and friends, Nick devotes himself to seeking justice for his father. His obsession threatens to ruin his own
life. Can Nick put all the pieces of the puzzle together—and save
both himself and his father?
The Princess Bride meets The Game of Thrones—

A runaway slave with a shadowy past, sixteen-year-old
Persephone has spent four long years toiling beneath the

a chance encounter with a handsome chicken thief named
Azriel changes her life forever.
MAUREEN FERGUS is the author of three other novels
for young people: Exploits of a Reluctant (But Extremely
Goodlooking) Hero and Recipe for Disaster, which were

CARYFAGAN
The Show to
End All Shows
PHOTO CREDIT: JOSH LEVINE
Sullivan is still trapped with the Melville’s Medicine Show,
along with Frederick, Esmeralda and Clarence, travelling
around the country. But his family has not given up hope. His
parents got in touch with the parents of the other children, and
his sister, Jinny, is determined to get back on the road with
Manny in order to pick up the trail of the mysterious medicine
show. And they are helped by a very real clue: a decades-old
newspaper article about a travelling medicine show that
mysteriously bears the same name …
Acclaimed author CARY FAGAN
is beloved by adults and children alike. His books include the
popular Kaspar Snit novels and
Jacob Two-Two on the High Seas;
Thing-Thing was a finalist for
the Marilyn Baillie Picture Book
Award and the TD Canadian
Children’s Literature Award.
He has also won the Jewish
Book Award and the World
Storytelling Award, and has
twice had honour books in the
Silver Birch Award.
Back at the show, the Melvilles are becoming unhappy with the
children’s performances. Sullivan drops some eggs, and worse,
Clarence is finding it a tighter and tighter squeeze inside the
“automaton,” the chess-playing Napoleon. They are soon going
to need a new child to join the show, and the Melvilles know
just the right one. Despite the children’s best efforts to prevent
another child from being kidnapped, a new girl joins the show.
But the Melvilles may have underestimated the new girl,
whose feisty nature is inspirational to Sullivan. The Melvilles
certainly seem preoccupied with something—at every new site,
Master Melville can be seen carefully examining the grounds.
With their families ever closer, the children of the travelling
medicine show band together to solve the mystery of who the
Melvilles really are and just what they are looking for.

Three children in wartime england,
one english manor, and a haunting story
that reaches across the centuries
SONYAHARTNETT
The Children
of the King
PHOTO CREDIT: GREG BEYER
Twelve-year-old Cecily Lockwood and her older brother, Jem,
leave their father behind in war-torn London and travel with
their socialite mother to the country estate of Uncle Peregrine.
Arriving at the village, Cecily discovers other children being
evacuated, most of them alone and frightened, waiting to be
chosen by strangers to board with them. Cecily wants one for
herself, to bring home to the manor with them.
SONYA HARTNETT’s work
has been published around the
world. She is the internationally
acclaimed author of several
picture books as well as novels
for both adults and children,
winning such accolades as the
Commonwealth Writers’ Prize,
the Andersen Award, and the
Astrid Lindgren Memorial
Award. She lives in
Melbourne, Australia.
After her mother surprisingly agrees, Cecily chooses a girl
named May. Although May comes from a poorer background,
she is clever and unwilling to be controlled by Cecily, who wonders if perhaps she has made a poor choice. In the meantime,
fourteen-year-old Jem is straining to do something for the war
effort and is at odds with his mother, while their uncle plays
host, shaded by his own dark mystery.
The discovery of the ruins of Snow Castle by May and Cecily
prompts Uncle Peregrine to tell a story, a true tale of royalty
and betrayal and of sons and mothers and murderous uncles,
one that reaches across the centuries and into their present
life. May and Cecily also discover two strange boys at the ruins,
brothers whose story comes to life as the days pass.
Part historical fiction, part ghost story and part coming-of-age,
The Children of the King is a spellbinding story, written by an
internationally renowned author.

Now there are rumours of a safe place to hide. And so a
