Beware the Abbott boys
Author(s):
Description:
Fraternal triplets Henry, Bram, and Adam Abbott, live in a mansion on the outskirts of Silver Creek. For decades, their family's been at odds with the town, long before Mariana Flores died in a fiery accident on the Abbott property last year. The police ruled out foul play, but everyone in Silver Creek would say one of the Abbott boys killed her, they just don't know which one. But Hayden, the girl who lives next door to the Abbotts, swears they're innocent. Henry's her best friend, and she's been worried about Adam ever since he was injured in the accident that killed Mariana. As for Bram, he's complicated, but he and Mariana were in love. When the new school year begins and a popular girl is found dead in the woods, the hunt for a monster begins anew. The security camera footage doesn't show the face of the boy she was last seen with, but underneath the hoodie could be any one of the Abbott brothers. To clear their names, Hayden starts investigating the death, but the deeper she digs, the more uncertain she becomes.

After years of poor water quality, Gavin fears his town, Pondville, is one burst pipe away from losing access to safe drinking water forever. Demoralized, Gavin and his best friend MacKenzie turn to his estranged father, a board member of the infamous water company CrispFlow.

Gavin wouldn't trust CrispFlow to privatize their water, but with his father on the board and Gavin and Mack interning at town hall, he might just be able to walk away with the grant money instead.

As long as no one gets caught.

All That Glows
Author(s):
Description:
Ever since the rain turned green, Kyrie’s world has been bathed in glowing dust. She packs it into old mascara tubes and sells it as makeup alongside dried cacti, threadbare blankets, and long-expired canned food. There’s not much else to do when everyone outside Kyrie’s small town in the Mojave Desert died from the plague-bearing rain ten years ago. Everyone―except the man in the rubber mask. He’s on the dangerous side of the fence, huffing infected air like it’s nothing, babbling to Kyrie about college and umbrellas and yogurt and everything else that disappeared the day it rained. He doesn't seem to know that the world ended, and he has no explanation for how he survived the apocalypse. But Kyrie doesn't believe in ghosts, and she can’t trust him. But he’s right about one thing: towns without secrets aren’t surrounded by chain-link fences. And chain-link fences won’t keep out the plague forever.
