I am always up for a hard-hitting contemp and I have a feeling What Happens Next definitely fits the bill!

What Happens Next by Colleen Clayton – 10/09/2012

The Debutantes by Cora Harrison

How can you talk about something you can’t remember?

Before the ski trip, sixteen-year-old Cassidy “Sid” Murphy was a cheerleader, a straight-A student, and a member of a solid trio of best friends. When she ends up on a ski lift next to handsome local college boy, Dax Windsor, she’s thrilled; but Dax takes everything from Sid—including a lock of her perfect red curls—and she can’t remember any of it.

Back home and alienated by her friends, Sid drops her college prep classes and takes up residence in the A/V room with only Corey “The Living Stoner” Livingston for company. But as she gets to know Corey (slacker, baker, total dreamboat), Sid finds someone who truly makes her happy. Now, if she can just shake the nightmares and those few extra pounds, everything will be perfect… or so she thinks.

Humorous and thoughtful, Colleen Clayton’s stunning debut is a moving exploration of one girl’s triumph over tragedy.

Let me count the ways in which The Debutantes by Cora Harrison is going to be THE book for me! First of all, London. I lived in London. I am a London fangirl for life. Second – the 19 freaking 20s. We ALWAYS hear about New York in the 1920s but nobody ever mentions London and FINALLY here comes The Debutantes set in London in the 1920s. SO IN. Not to mention Prince George and dancing and jazz and parties and SECRETS and I’m sorry – have I not convinced you yet that you need to read The Debutantes?

The Debutantes by Cora Harrison

It’s 1923 and London is a whirl of jazz, dancing and parties. Violet, Daisy, Poppy and Rose Derrington are desperate to be part of it, but stuck in an enormous crumbling house in the country, with no money and no fashionable dresses, the excitement seems a lifetime away. Luckily the girls each have a plan for escaping their humdrum country life: Rose wants to be a novelist, Poppy a jazz musician and Daisy a famous film director. Violet, however, has only one ambition: to become the perfect Debutante, so that she can go to London and catch the eye of Prince George, the most eligible bachelor in the country. But a house as big and old as Beech Grove Manor hides many secrets, and Daisy is about to uncover one so huge it could ruin all their plans – ruin everything – forever.

GUYS. Rebel McKenzie by Candice Ransom is a book that sounds like it’s going to be SO ME on so many levels. First of all, Rebel McKenzie wants to attend a summer camp where you dig up dinosaur bones. UHM YES. In another life, one where I was good at science and could handle dirt and heat, I would be an archeologist for real. Also, Rebel McKenzie sounds like it’s really going to let loose with the laughs and I can’t wait for that!

The Sinister Sweetness of Splendid Academy by Nikki Loftin looks AWESOME. I’m a huge fan of mysteries and middle grade books, so a middle grade involving a mystery, middle grade, and a prestigious academy – I am all over that! The Sinister Sweetness of Splendid Academy sounds like just my kind of book!

The Sinister Sweetness of Splendid Academy by Nikki Loftin – 08/21/2012

The Sinister Sweetness of Splendid Academy by Nikki Loftin

When Lorelei’s old school mysteriously burns down, a new one appears practically overnight: Splendid Academy. Rock-climbing walls on the playground and golden bowls of candy on every desk? Gourmet meals in the cafeteria, served by waiters? Optional homework and two recess periods a day? It’s every kids’s dream.

But Lorelei and her new friend Andrew are pretty sure it’s too good to be true. Together they uncover a sinister mystery, one with their teacher, the beautiful Ms. Morrigan, at the very center.

Then Andrew disappears. Lorelei has to save him, even if that means facing a past she’d like to forget – and taking on a teacher who’s a real witch.

What Lorelei and Andrew discover chills their bones – and might even pick them clean!
