It’s All About Us
by Shelley Adina
Most teen girl fiction tends to be about romance and love, and dreams about the future…right?
WRONG!! Finally, some authentic voices in teen girl lit are sounding out, and real life issues are being addressed in ways that eliminate the secret and ring out the truth. I’m pleased to welcome Shelley Adina to my top ten list of teen lit authors!
In her debut teen lit novel, "It’s All About Us", Shelley introduces us to the girls of Spencer Academy. For those who know Nickelodeon, think "Zoey 101 Gets Saved!" While the privilege and wealth of these girls may feel a bit alienating at first, their real life issues and genuine faith struggles quickly make the reader feel right at home!

The Book of Names
by Dean Barkley Briggs
Chapter 1
BLACK BIRDS
The day was gray and cold, mildly damp. Perfect for magic. Strange clouds overhead teased the senses with a fragrance of storm wind and lightning and the faint, clean smell of ozone. Invisible energy sparkled like morning dew on blades of grass.
Standing alone in an empty field on the back end of their new acreage, Hadyn Barlow only saw the clouds. By definition, you can’t see what’s invisible, and as for smelling magic? Well, let’s just say, unlikely. Hadyn saw what was obvious for late November, rural Missouri: leafless trees, dead grass, winter coming on strong. Most of all he saw (and despised) the humongous briar patch in front of him, feeling anew each and every blister and callous earned hacking through its branches.
