Keri has been struggling to run her family bakery since her mother passed away.  Now the father she barely knew—the Lord of Nimmira—has died, and ancient magic has decreed that she will take his place as the new Lady.

At the same time, three half-brothers will their own eyes on the crown make life within the House just as dangerous as the world outside. But Keri has three people to guide her: her mysterious Timekeeper, clever Bookkeeper, and steadfast Doorkeeper. Together they must find a way to repair the boundary before her neighbors realize just how vulnerable Nimmira is.

Review :

"Up-Born with a hole in his heart, Jesse Serrano dies at 17, and though his loved ones have always known he would die young, his family and friends are left bereft and confused at how to sort through the grieving process. But Jesse had a plan for his final goodbye: plane tickets and a map to Europe mailed to his cousins, best friend, and girlfriend without much of an explanation as to the trip's purpose. For his cousins, Cal, Ben, and Trevor, there is the guilt of having been caught up more in the last years of high school than in their cousin's life, and for his best friend, Matt, and girlfriend Lillian, the trip comes as a shove back into the world after a year of grief. It takes a while for the group to become comfortable with one another, particularly Cal and Lillian. Cal is carrying a notebook titled "Juvenalia" left to her by Jesse, which she refuses to share; Lillian is angry and prideful about sharing the memory of Jesse; and it takes numerous explosive fights for them to break through their protective walls and relate. The group figure out their mission and somewhat resentfully and hopefully trudge their way through Europe on their quest. VERDICT John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Rainbow Rowell fans will be deeply moved by Hattemer's novel of a pilgrimage" -Joanna Sondheim, Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School, New York City

“John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Rainbow Rowell fans will be deeply moved by Hattemer’s novel.” —SLJ
 
“Hattemer’s vivid third-person narrative and occasional excerpts from Jesse’s journal create a layered story of big questions and intense relationships . . . making for a moving read for readers of all ages.” —Publishers Weekly
 
“Sharp observation, sly humor, and moments of brilliance.” —Kirkus

Free Online Reading The Forbidden Wish by Jessica Khoury

She is the most powerful Jinni of all. He is a boy from the streets. Their love will shake the world... 
 
When Aladdin discovers Zahra's jinni lamp, Zahra is thrust back into a world she hasn't seen in hundreds of years -- a world where magic is forbidden and Zahra's very existence is illegal. She must disguise herself to stay alive, using ancient shape-shifting magic, until her new master has selected his three wishes. 


 
But when the King of the Jinn offers Zahra a chance to be free of her lamp forever, she seizes the opportunity—only to discover she is falling in love with Aladdin. When saving herself means betraying him, Zahra must decide once and for all: is winning her freedom worth losing her heart?
 
As time unravels and her enemies close in, Zahra finds herself suspended between danger and desire in this dazzling retelling of Aladdin from acclaimed author Jessica Khoury. Free Online Reading The Forbidden Wish by Jessica Khoury Full

Review :

"Lush, romantic, and exquisitely written...a rare, glittering jewel of a novel." --Sarah J. Maas, Author of the NEW YORK TIMES Bestselling THRONE OF GLASS series

"This is Aladdin like you've never imagined." --Renée Ahdieh, author of THE WRATH AND THE DAWN

"An exciting tale of deception, forbidden love, and dangerous magic, starring a cheeky thief and powerful but vulnerable jinni. Fans of fairytale retellings set in faraway landsfull of romance, daring-do and pulse-pounding action will fall for this swoon-worthy tale..."
—Booklist, STARRED REVIEW

"Lush and magical... anyone who ever loved Aladdin or One Thousand and One Nights is going to be hooked."
—Bustle
"Gorgeous and complex, this is a wish granted to fans of fantasy, romance, or just good storytelling."
—Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"Lyrically written."
—School Library Journal

"Playful chemistry and Khoury’s assured storytelling should make it easy for readers to lose themselves in this rich and complex story of allegiances and betrayal." 
—Publishers Weekly

"Though the dynamic ending fully concludes their story, readers will likely long for more stories—say, 1,000 of them. Dripping in magic, strong women, and forbidden love." 
—Kirkus Reviews

"Deliciously sensual yet understated...rich and compelling. The competing allegiances and ambivalent outcomes test Zahra’s long-held assumptions about self and other, her beliefs about love and freedom. Teens will appreciate Zahra’s tough choices as ones they face for themselves."
—Voice of Youth Advocates
