Young Adult (Age 13+) Bargain Book Box

Inside: fae courts hidden beneath modern cities, dragons treated as a matter of linguistics and empire, a memoir about growing up and refusing to fit the shape you were handed. Scott Westerfeld's Uglies, now a Netflix number one. Rebecca Ross's Queen's Rising duology, both volumes together. S F Williamson's A Language of Dragons and its sequel, ready to read straight through.

There's a murder mystery on a summer break, a skate crew with something to hide, a boy who slips through time toward the mother who left, and a heroine who bargains with gods and pays for it. Dark fantasy, contemporary realism, horror, romance, and books that refuse to pick a lane.

For thirteen-and-up readers who finish books faster than anyone can keep up with.
