CARING IS CREEPY BY DAVID ZIMMERMAN
Fifteen-year-old Lynn Marie Sugrue
is doing her best to make it through
a difficult summer. Lynn suspects
that her mother’s pill-popping
boyfriend has enlisted her in his
petty criminal enterprises. Lynn
finds refuge in online flirtations,
eventually meeting up with a
troubled young soldier, Logan Loy,
and inviting him home. When he’s
forced to stay over in a storage space
accessible through her closet, and
the Army subsequently lists him as
AWOL, she realizes that he’s the one
thing in her life that she can control.
Meanwhile, her mother’s boyfriend
is on the receiving end of a series of
increasingly violent threats, which
places Lynn squarely in the cross-
hairs.
Rory has been told
that she is a “third-
generation bastard
surely on the road
to whoredom,” but
she’s determined to
prove the county
and her family
wrong.
GIRLCHILD BY TUPELO HASSMAN
Brash, vulnerable,
wise, and
terrified, she
struggles with her
mother’s habit of
trusting the
wrong men, and
the mixed
blessing of being
too smart for her
own good.
Nearly 150 images in this
book were made over 5
years of visiting 1,000+
youth confined in juvenile
detention institutions in 31
states.
These riveting
photographs, accompanied
by the life stories that these
young people in custody
shared with Ross, give
voice to imprisoned
children from families that
have no resources in
communities that have no
power.
JUVENILE IN JUSTICE
BY RICHARD ROSS
The Great Recession has shuffled Clay Jannon into
a new gig working the night shift at Mr.
Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore. But Clay begins to
realize that this store is even more curious than the
name suggests. There are only a few customers, but
they come in repeatedly and never seem to actually
buy anything, instead “checking out” impossibly
obscure volumes from strange corners of the store.
The store must be a front for something larger,
Clay concludes, and soon he’s roped his friends
into helping to figure out just what’s going on. But
once they bring their findings to Mr. Penumbra, it
turns out the secrets extend far outside the walls of
the bookstore.
MR. PENUMBRA’S 24-HOUR
BOOKSTORE
BY ROBIN SLOAN
MY FRIEND DAHMER BY DERF BACKDERF
You only think you know this story. In 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer—the most
notorious serial killer since Jack the Ripper—seared himself into the
American consciousness. To the public, Dahmer was a monster who
committed unthinkable atrocities. To Derf Backderf, "Jeff" was a much more
complex figure: a high school friend with whom he had shared classrooms,
hallways, and car rides.
In My Friend Dahmer, a haunting and original
graphic novel, writer-artist Backderf creates a
surprisingly sympathetic portrait of a disturbed
young man struggling against the morbid urges
emanating from the deep recesses of his psyche—
a shy kid, a teenage alcoholic, and a goofball who
never quite fit in with his classmates. With profound
insight, what emerges is a Jeffrey Dahmer that few
ever really knew, and one readers will never forget.
“Friday Night Lights” meets
“Hoosiers” and “Dead Poet’s
Society” in this inspirational
story about an unlikely coach
who leads a high-school baseball
team and their small Illinois
town to a season they’ll never
forget.
ONE SHOT AT FOREVER: A
SMALL TOWN, AN UNLIKELY
COACH, AND A MAGICAL
BASEBALL SEASON BY CHRIS
BALLARD
PURE BY JULIANNA BAGGOTT
There are those who escaped
the apocalypse unmarked:
Pures. They are tucked safely
inside the Dome that protects
their healthy, superior bodies.
Yet Partridge, whose father is
one of the most influential men
in the Dome,
feels isolated and lonely.
Or maybe
it's his claustrophobia: his
feeling that this Dome has
become a swaddling of
intensely rigid order.
So when a slipped phrase
suggests his mother might still
be alive, Partridge risks his life
to leave the Dome to find her.
Pressia barely remembers the Detonations
or much about life during the Before. In
her sleeping cabinet she thinks about how
much she lost. How much the world
Has changed.
And now, at an age
when everyone is required to
turn themselves over to the
militia to either be trained as a
soldier or, if they are too
damaged and weak, to be used
as live targets, Pressia can no
longer pretend to be small.
Pressia is on the run.
One of the most revered
novelists of our time—a

selling, Pulitzer Prize finalist
“The Plague of Doves” with a
story that transports readers

North Dakota.
THE ROUND HOUSE
BY LOUISE ERDICH
There’s only one person who has
ever truly understood 14-year–old
June, and that’s her uncle, painter
Finn Weiss. So when he dies, far
too young, of a mysterious illness
her mother can barely speak about,
June’s world is turned upside
down. His sudden death brings a
surprise acquaintance into June’s
life– who will make her question
and help her heal, and to question
what she thinks she knows about
Finn, her family, and even her own
heart.
TELL THE WOLVES I’M HOME
BY CAROL RIFKA BRUNT
Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her
Microsoft-guru husband, she's a fearlessly
opinionated partner; to fellow private-
school mothers in Seattle, she's a disgrace;
to design mavens, she's a revolutionary
architect, and to 15-year-old Bee, she is a
best friend and, simply, Mom.
WHERE’D YOU GO BERNADETTE
BY MARIA SEMPLE
Then Bernadette disappears. To find
her mother, Bee compiles email
messages, official documents, secret

compulsively readable and touching

absurd world.

Georgia Peach Book 2014 - 2015

  • 1. 2013 Adult books that have special appeal to teens
  • 2. CARING IS CREEPY BY DAVID ZIMMERMAN Fifteen-year-old Lynn Marie Sugrue is doing her best to make it through a difficult summer. Lynn suspects that her mother’s pill-popping boyfriend has enlisted her in his petty criminal enterprises. Lynn finds refuge in online flirtations, eventually meeting up with a troubled young soldier, Logan Loy, and inviting him home. When he’s forced to stay over in a storage space accessible through her closet, and the Army subsequently lists him as AWOL, she realizes that he’s the one thing in her life that she can control. Meanwhile, her mother’s boyfriend is on the receiving end of a series of increasingly violent threats, which places Lynn squarely in the cross- hairs.
  • 3. Rory has been told that she is a “third- generation bastard surely on the road to whoredom,” but she’s determined to prove the county and her family wrong. GIRLCHILD BY TUPELO HASSMAN Brash, vulnerable, wise, and terrified, she struggles with her mother’s habit of trusting the wrong men, and the mixed blessing of being too smart for her own good.
  • 4. Nearly 150 images in this book were made over 5 years of visiting 1,000+ youth confined in juvenile detention institutions in 31 states. These riveting photographs, accompanied by the life stories that these young people in custody shared with Ross, give voice to imprisoned children from families that have no resources in communities that have no power. JUVENILE IN JUSTICE BY RICHARD ROSS
  • 5. The Great Recession has shuffled Clay Jannon into a new gig working the night shift at Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore. But Clay begins to realize that this store is even more curious than the name suggests. There are only a few customers, but they come in repeatedly and never seem to actually buy anything, instead “checking out” impossibly obscure volumes from strange corners of the store. The store must be a front for something larger, Clay concludes, and soon he’s roped his friends into helping to figure out just what’s going on. But once they bring their findings to Mr. Penumbra, it turns out the secrets extend far outside the walls of the bookstore. MR. PENUMBRA’S 24-HOUR BOOKSTORE BY ROBIN SLOAN
  • 6. MY FRIEND DAHMER BY DERF BACKDERF You only think you know this story. In 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer—the most notorious serial killer since Jack the Ripper—seared himself into the American consciousness. To the public, Dahmer was a monster who committed unthinkable atrocities. To Derf Backderf, "Jeff" was a much more complex figure: a high school friend with whom he had shared classrooms, hallways, and car rides. In My Friend Dahmer, a haunting and original graphic novel, writer-artist Backderf creates a surprisingly sympathetic portrait of a disturbed young man struggling against the morbid urges emanating from the deep recesses of his psyche— a shy kid, a teenage alcoholic, and a goofball who never quite fit in with his classmates. With profound insight, what emerges is a Jeffrey Dahmer that few ever really knew, and one readers will never forget.
  • 7. “Friday Night Lights” meets “Hoosiers” and “Dead Poet’s Society” in this inspirational story about an unlikely coach who leads a high-school baseball team and their small Illinois town to a season they’ll never forget. ONE SHOT AT FOREVER: A SMALL TOWN, AN UNLIKELY COACH, AND A MAGICAL BASEBALL SEASON BY CHRIS BALLARD
  • 8. PURE BY JULIANNA BAGGOTT There are those who escaped the apocalypse unmarked: Pures. They are tucked safely inside the Dome that protects their healthy, superior bodies. Yet Partridge, whose father is one of the most influential men in the Dome, feels isolated and lonely. Or maybe it's his claustrophobia: his feeling that this Dome has become a swaddling of intensely rigid order. So when a slipped phrase suggests his mother might still be alive, Partridge risks his life to leave the Dome to find her. Pressia barely remembers the Detonations or much about life during the Before. In her sleeping cabinet she thinks about how much she lost. How much the world Has changed. And now, at an age when everyone is required to turn themselves over to the militia to either be trained as a soldier or, if they are too damaged and weak, to be used as live targets, Pressia can no longer pretend to be small. Pressia is on the run.
  • 9. One of the most revered novelists of our time—a brilliant chronicler of Native- American life—Erdich returns to the territory of her best selling, Pulitzer Prize finalist “The Plague of Doves” with a story that transports readers to the Ojibwe reservation in North Dakota. THE ROUND HOUSE BY LOUISE ERDICH
  • 10. There’s only one person who has ever truly understood 14-year–old June, and that’s her uncle, painter Finn Weiss. So when he dies, far too young, of a mysterious illness her mother can barely speak about, June’s world is turned upside down. His sudden death brings a surprise acquaintance into June’s life– who will make her question and help her heal, and to question what she thinks she knows about Finn, her family, and even her own heart. TELL THE WOLVES I’M HOME BY CAROL RIFKA BRUNT
  • 11. Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she's a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private- school mothers in Seattle, she's a disgrace; to design mavens, she's a revolutionary architect, and to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, simply, Mom. WHERE’D YOU GO BERNADETTE BY MARIA SEMPLE Then Bernadette disappears. To find her mother, Bee compiles email messages, official documents, secret correspondence--creating a compulsively readable and touching novel about misplaced genius and a mother and daughter's role in an absurd world.
  • 13. HEAVEN IS FOR REAL BY TODD BURPO When four year old Colton Burpo made it through an emergency appendectomy, his family was overjoyed at his miraculous survival. What they weren't expecting, though, was the story that emerged in the months that followed-a story as beautiful as it was extraordinary, detailing their little boy's trip to heaven and back.
  • 14. FIRE BY KRISTIN CASHORE In King City, the young King Nash is clinging to the throne, while rebel lords in the north and south build armies to unseat him. War is coming. This is where Fire lives, a girl whose beauty is impossibly irresistible and who can control the minds of everyone around her. Exquisitely romantic, this companion to Graceling has an entirely new cast of characters. Also by Kristin Cashore
  • 15. STOLEN BY LUCY CRISTOPHER Gemma, 16, is on layover at Bangkok Airport, en route with her parents to a vacation in Vietnam. She steps away for just a second, to get a cup of coffee. Before Gemma knows what's happening, Gemma has been kidnapped by her stalker and brought to the desolate Australian Outback. STOLEN is her gripping story of survival, of how she has to come to terms with her living nightmare--or die trying to fight it.
  • 16. BEAUTIFUL CREATURES There was a curse. There was a girl. And in the end, there was a grave. Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she's struggling to conceal her power, and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever. BY KAMI GARCIA Read more…
  • 17. THE FAULT IN OUR STARS Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten. BY JOHN GREEN Also by John Green
  • 18. DEPARTMENT NINETEEN Jamie Carpenter's life will never be the same. His father is dead, his mother is missing, and he was just rescued by an enormous man named Frankenstein. Jamie is brought to Department 19, where he is pulled into a secret organization responsible for policing the supernatural, founded more than a century ago by Abraham Van Helsing and the other survivors of Dracula. Aided by Frankenstein's monster, a beautiful vampire girl with her own agenda, and the members of the agency, Jamie must attempt to save his mother from a terrifyingly powerful vampire. BY Will Hill …The story continues…
  • 19. WHAT THE NIGHT KNOWS BY DEAN KOONTZ A long time ago Alton Turner Blackwood brutally murdered four families. His savage spree ended only when he was killed by the last survivor of the last family, a fourteen-year-old boy. Half a continent away and two decades later, someone is murdering families again. Homicide detective John Calvino is certain that his wife and three children will be targets in the fourth crime, just as his parents and sisters were victims on that distant night when he was fourteen and killed their slayer.
  • 20. SING YOU HOME A stillborn baby ends Max and Zoe's marriage. Max leaves Zoe and turns to drinking. Zoe falls in love with a female school counselor, Vanessa. Max finds help for his drinking problem through his brother's church– one that “fights the homosexual agenda.” When Vanessa and Zoe get married and want to have children, Zoe goes to Max to get permission to release the embryos to her.
