We have an awesome thread planned for today- some favourite #NewRelease books from our Teen section #YALit #BookTwitter #BookBoost #WeekendRead

We’re not biased or anything, but @Jenn_Benn is one of our favourite YA contemporary authors! In her newest novel, Chasing Lucky, the bad-boy-with-a-heart-of-gold trope is dialled up to the max- and we can’t get enough of it – bei Kidsbooks Kitsilano

The Surprising Power of a Good Dumpling by @onewpc is a powerful and beautifully written look at mental illness, family, and Asian immigrant culture- balanced with a realistic and heart-warming romance. This is an important read for anyone exploring #ownvoices novels RN – bei Kidsbooks Kitsilano

I Killed Zoe Spanos by @kitfrick is a gradually unfolding story of suspense and mystery, inspired by the famously iconic novel Rebecca. Dual timelines and unreliable narration will keep you guessing until the very last page of this psychologically twisted thriller – bei Kidsbooks Kitsilano

What happens when a kind, empathetic young woman is framed for the murder of her best friend, and joins a group of teen assassins? Teen Killers Club by @lilyroro is a fast-paced and thrilling coming-of-age story about a group of outcasts finding friendship amidst survival – bei Kidsbooks Kitsilano

The Companion by @KatieAlender is the perfect suspenseful, gothic read to curl up with on a cold fall evening- along with a hot chocolate and cozy blanket of course – bei Kidsbooks Kitsilano

If you like revenge plots and secret societies, These Vengeful Hearts by @writerkatherine should be your book of choice this weekend – bei Kidsbooks Kitsilano

A dying planet, a girl woken from a 1000 year old cryogenic sleep, and an exiled prince- Goddess in the Machine by @LoraBethWrites is one of our favourite recs for those looking for a new sci-fi/adventure novel to read – bei Kidsbooks Kitsilano

It’s a battle between anxiety vs. true love in One Way or Another- a sweet, smart, #ownvoices holiday romance novel from @karajmcdowell (we LOVE seeing a neurodivergent female protagonist!) – bei Kidsbooks Kitsilano

Much like in her @nytimesbooks bestselling novel Stepsister, author @JenWritesBooks takes a classic fairytale- this time Snow White, and twists it into a fiercely feminist retelling full of powerful themes like empowerment, survival, and strength in the face of darkness – bei Kidsbooks Kitsilano

With a fiercely cunning, queer protagonist who is both flawed and unapologetically ambitious, and a mysterious being who turns blood into water, Beyond the Ruby Veil by @mara_fitzgerald is a sumptuous and clever YA dark fantasy unlike anything you’ve read before – bei Kidsbooks Kitsilano

Far From Normal by @BeckyWallace1 is a laugh-out-loud, Devil-Wears-Prada inspired story of one intern’s mission to repair the image of a handsome soccer star not too keen on following rules, resulting in a relatably messy (but hilarious) contemporary romance – bei Kidsbooks Kitsilano

A modern contemporary romcom retelling of Emma? Um, yes please! In The Code for Love and Heartbreak by @JillianCantor, Emma is still her meddling self- but this time with the power of modern technology on her side. Because no algorithm can predict true love... or can it? – bei Kidsbooks Kitsilano

Turns out not catching feelings for the girl you’ve been going on movie-worthy dates with all summer isn’t as easy as it seems. The Falling in Love Montage by debut author @CiaraNicG is both a clever, queer romcom and a funny, incredibly touching contemporary YA novel – bei Kidsbooks Kitsilano

Wilder Girls by @itsrorypower is one of our longtime favourites here in the store, so of course we have to mention the equally loved Burn Our Bodies Down in this thread; an eerie, atmospheric, small-town thriller both ripe with twists and plenty of horror – bei Kidsbooks Kitsilano
