All you need to know about RENEGADES Author : Marissa Meyer The Renegades are a syndicate of prodigies -a group of people gifted with powers-, rising from the ruins of society. Even years after the Battle of Gatlon city, they remained a shining beacon of hope and courage, and were tasked with maintaining peace and order throughout the world. While almost everyone looked up to the Renegades with shining eyes and hearts full of hope, not all saw them as the salvation of humankind. 16 year old Nova Artino, or Nightmare, as she was most commonly known as, had every reason to hate the Renegades. After all, her misplaced faith in the so-called saviors of the world had cost her family their lives. All her life, her one ultimate aim had been to overthrow the Renegades from the ground, and show the world that their trust in the Renegades was every bit as destructing and worthless as hers was.  Adrian Everhart was the adopted son of two of the founding members of the Renegades organizat...

All you need to know about GOING WILD Author : Lisa McMann Charlie Wilde was NOT having a good time. No, not when her family was moving from the city of Chicago, where she has lived all her life, to the suburbs of Arizona. Being the new kid in high school was going to be the downright terrifying, and she was going to have to leave behind her home, her school, her friends...No, this was going to be awful. But just when Charlie was getting into her new pattern of life (after the typical initial feeling of doom and despair) and things seemed like they were getting back to normal, everything got very weird, very fast. Oh joy.  When she found a bracelet sent to "Charlie Wilde" while unpacking, Charlie puts on the bracelet, assuming that maybe it was a "I-know things-are-not-awesome-but-good-luck-anyway!" gift from someone, but boy, was she wrong...

All you need to know about SCARLET AND IVY  Author : Sophie Cleverly  When thirteen year old Ivy's twin sister, Scarlet, had died a few weeks before at Rookwood Boarding school, Ivy receives a letter from the school inviting to join the school in the place of her sister. Understandably, Ivy has qualms about joining, as the school had been the place where Scarlet had passed away. But persuasion from her slightly crazy aunt leads to Ivy sitting in the car on the way to the school with Miss Fox, the deputy head of the school, who is probably the most crabbiest (and evil) person in the world.  Then, when a few minutes of discussion with the deputy head gives her the biggest head ache of her life, Ivy was about to enter full panic mode. Apparently, when she was told that she was to join "in the place" of her twin, it meant she was to replace her twin. It meant that she was to become her twin.  Whoa, that went overboard in a matter of seconds. Allow me to explain. Sca...

All you need to know about THE LUNAR CHRONICLES Author : Marissa Meyer If you can imagine classic fairytales such as Cinderella, Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Snow White, set in the future with androids, space ships, cyborgs, lethal plagues and evil tyrant rulers of the Moon, you have a pretty good idea of how spectacular the Lunar Chronicles is.  Set thousands of years into the future, in the city of New Beijing, Linh Cinder is a sixteen year old cyborg mechanic, with a reputation to be the best. But it was still slightly startling to see Prince Kaito, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Commonwealth (An empire that was once called Asia.) at her booth, requesting her to fix his personal android, Nainsi. Cinder agrees to fix the android before the Annual Ball, which was fast approaching.  Kai, on the other hand, had problems of his own.

All you need to know about FABLEHAVEN Author : Brandon Mull Thirteen year old Kendra and ten year old Seth are polar opposites of each other. While Kendra is a a staunch follower of rules and the responsible and studious one of the family, Seth is a notorious troublemaker, and considers breaking rules to be his greatest hobby. But both of them, for once, were on the same side of the page. Both of them were disgruntled about staying back at their grandparent's house while their parents leave for their 17-day cruise. It wasn't a horrifying prospect on the whole, but Kendra and Seth never really knew their grandparents properly, and had only ever seen them very rarely. And they had never really visited them, which made Kendra quite apprehensive about what to expect. Seth was not quite so tensed. He was too busy bouncing about and fooling around. Once they had arrived, and their parents had left, Grandpa Sorenson had started spouting the ground rules, which included not entering th...
