Embark on a journey into the spectacular worldbuilding of "Illyadra," the first book of the Archeodon Series—an epic fantasy masterpiece that seamlessly weaves together humor, trauma, and philosophy to navigate the intricate realms of oppression and systems of value. “Illyadra” is set in the realm of Zoë, a divided land that encompasses five distinct countries, each governed by a unique magic system personified in the Archeodon crowns. These crowns bestow their wearers and subjects with the power of influence, ranging from Destruction and Illusion to Alteration, Conjuration, and Restoration. In this enchanting universe, those wielding powerful magic, known as "vuu," reign supreme. Drawing inspiration from the likes of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" for its premise, “Eragon” for style, the Bible Project for theology, and the “Genealogy of Morality” for themes, "Illyadra" introduces a tale that transcends genres. It skillfully crafts a worldview that dances on the edge of convention, whose subtle undertones are an invitation for those who seek novels with Christian themes while remaining unobtrusive to those who don't. Renovia, once the best nation in the world, has collapsed. Siblings Kairo and Aterah are thrust into the future during their escape and lose the crown of restoration in the process. They reemerge generations later, amidst the remnants of their people—a society reduced to a primitive, stone age militia through war and oppression, struggling to survive without vuu in a world that revolves around it. The Sigu Nii, a barbaric society with a bloodlust social hierarchy, learn of Aterah's oracle ability to see the future in her dreams and unleash their most devastating magical forces and steal her away. Fatally injured during the raid, Kairo faces a monumental dilemma—abandon his post and plunge into foreign and hostile lands to save his sister before infection kills him, or else the Sigu Nii will exploit her dreams for Renovia's ultimate destruction. Other life-like characters include: Eidhin, a stuttering young farm boy in a culture that values the façade of knowledge above all else. While devoting his life to a church that pretends to stand for truth, he gets wrapped up in a global conspiracy, brainwashed, and sold into the slave trade system. Ayrah Veligreen, a girl prodigy in the destructive Sigu Nii arts, embarks on a relentless quest to unveil the truth behind her father's execution by the immortal god-king, Ash. And then there's Wesken—a kid with a staff, white hair, and a day-long memory. "Illyadra" masterfully encapsulates a diverse array of timeless story tropes—from evil empires and the echoes of Arthurian legends to the damsel in distress—even though it is a narrative that puts strong female main characters at the forefront. Beneath the surface, "Illyadra" alludes to profound themes of oppression, caste systems, and free will. The story bites deep, evoking both laughter and tears, as it invites readers to go soul searching and think deep about the choices that shape destinies.

“Respectful, unflinching, and eye-opening.” —Kirkus Reviews “Historical fiction that not only depicts a cruel, horrifying reality but also the strength and courage of the people who had to endure it.” —Booklist In the tradition of Girl, Interrupted, this fiery historical novel follows four young women in the early 20th century whose lives intersect when they are locked up by a world that took the poor, the disabled, the marginalized-and institutionalized them for life. The Massachusetts School for the Feeble-Minded is not a happy place. The young women who are already there certainly don’t think so. Not Maxine, who is doing everything she can to protect her younger sister Rose in an institution where vicious attendants and bullying older girls treat them as the morons, imbeciles, and idiots the doctors have deemed them to be. Not Alice, either, who was left there when her brother couldn’t bring himself to support a sister with a club foot. And not London, who has just been dragged there from the best foster situation she’s ever had, thanks to one unexpected, life-altering moment. Each girl is determined to change her fate, no matter what it takes.

In Adrienne Kisner's Dear Rachel Maddow, a high school girl deals with school politics and life after her brother’s death by drafting emails to MSNBC host Rachel Maddow in this funny and heartfelt YA debut. Brynn Haper's life has one steadying force--Rachel Maddow. She watches her daily, and after writing to Rachel for a school project--and actually getting a response--Brynn starts drafting e-mails to Rachel but never sending them. Brynn tells Rachel about breaking up with her first serious girlfriend, about her brother Nick's death, about her passive mother and even worse stepfather, about how she's stuck in remedial courses at school and is considering dropping out. Then Brynn is confronted with a moral dilemma. One student representative will be allowed to have a voice among the administration in the selection of a new school superintendent. Brynn's archnemesis, Adam, and ex-girlfriend, Sarah, believe only Honors students are worthy of the selection committee seat. Brynn feels all students deserve a voice. When she runs for the position, the knives are out. So she begins to ask herself: What Would Rachel Maddow Do?

A teen copes with her grandmother's coma by becoming obsessed with a mystery bird that she cannot identify in Adrienne Kisner's sharp and poignant YA novel, The Confusion of Laurel Graham. Seventeen-year-old Laurel Graham has a singular, all-consuming ambition in this life: become the most renowned nature photographer and birder in the world. The first step to birding domination is to win the junior nature photographer contest run by prominent Fauna magazine. Winning runs in her blood—her beloved activist and nature-loving grandmother placed when she was a girl. One day Gran drags Laurel out on a birding expedition where the pair hear a mysterious call that even Gran can’t identify. The pair vow to find out what it is together, but soon after, Gran is involved in a horrible car accident. Now that Gran is in a coma, so much of Laurel's world is rocked. Her gran's house is being sold, developers are coming in to destroy the nature sanctuary she treasures, and she still can't seem to identify the mystery bird. Laurel’s confusion isn’t just a group of warblers—it’s about what means the most to her, and what she’s willing to do to fight to save it. Maybe--just maybe-if she can find the mystery bird, it will save her gran, the conservatory land, and herself.

Adrienne Kisner's Six Angry Girls is a story of mock trial, feminism, and the inherent power found in a pair of knitting needles. Raina Petree is crushing her senior year, until her boyfriend dumps her, the drama club (basically) dumps her, the college of her dreams slips away, and her arch-nemesis triumphs. Things aren’t much better for Millie Goodwin. Her father treats her like a servant, and the all-boy Mock Trial team votes her out, even after she spent the last three years helping to build its success. But then, an advice columnist unexpectedly helps Raina find new purpose in a pair of knitting needles and a politically active local yarn store. This leads to an unlikely meeting in the girls’ bathroom, where Raina inspires Millie to start a rival team. The two join together and recruit four other angry girls to not only take on Mock Trial, but to smash the patriarchy in the process.

“Historical fiction at its best.” —Kirby Larson, Newbery Honor winner “An important, readable novel.” —Kirkus Reviews This compelling historical novel spans the early and very formative years of feminist and women’s health activist Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, as she struggles to find her way amidst the harsh realities of poverty. Margaret was determined to get out. She didn’t want to clean the dirty dishes and soiled diapers that piled up day in and day out in her large family’s small home. She didn’t want to disappoint her ailing mother, who cared tirelessly for an ever-growing number of children despite her incessant cough. And Margaret certainly didn’t want to be labeled a girl of “promise,” destined to become either a teacher or a mother—which seemed to be a woman’s only options. As a feisty and opinionated young woman, Margaret Higgins Sanger witnessed and experienced incredible hardships, which led to her groundbreaking work as an advocate for women’s rights and the founder of Planned Parenthood. This fiery novel of Margaret’s early life paints the portrait of a young woman with the passion and courage to change the world.
