BOOK PROMO: Second Position by Katherine Locke

Second Position by Katherine Locke New Adult, Contemporary Romance District Ballet Company #1 Four years ago, a car accident ended Zedekiah Harrow’s ballet career and sent Philadelphia Ballet principal dancer Alyona Miller spinning toward the breakdown that suspended her own. What they lost on the side of the road that day can never be replaced, and grief is always harshest under a spotlight... Now twenty-three, Zed teaches music and theatre at a private school in Washington, D.C. and regularly attends AA meetings to keep the pain at bay. Aly has returned to D.C. to live with her mother while trying to recover from the mental and physical breakdown that forced her to take a leave of absence from the ballet world, and her adoring fans. When Zed and Aly run into each other in a coffee shop, it’s as if no time has passed at all. But without the buffer and escape of dance—and with so much lust, anger and heartbreak hanging between them—their renewed connection will eith...

YA BOOK HIGHLIGHT: Show And Prove by Sophia Quintero & No Such Person by Caroline B. Cooney

SHOW AND PROVE by Sofia Quintero A heartrending coming-of-age story about two boys finding their way in the South Bronx in the mid-1980s.   “The story is powerful and thought-provoking, an homage to a climactic hip-hop era, when friends are caught between aspirations and predetermined social disadvantages. A must-read for fans of Walter Dean Myer’s All the Right Stuff and other lovers of proud urban realism.” — Kirkus Reviews SHOW AND PROVE (Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers | On sale July 14, 2015 | Ages 12 and up | $17.99) by Sofia Quintero set in the South Bronx in the 1980s, when this neighborhood was the poster child for hip-hop, urban blight, and the AIDS epidemic. SHOW AND PROVE is the perfect introduction to a critical time in the urban landscape, while critically acclaimed Quintero’s storytelling is accessible and compelling.   Summer for Raymond “Smiles” King is not off to a good start. He’s supposed to be the assi...
