About Two Like Me and You by Chad Alan Gibbs

eBook on sale for $0.99 (regularly $3.99) from July 8 through July 14, 2019.

Called, “both intimate and epic,” by Kirkus Reviews in a starred review, Two Like Me and You by Chad Alan Gibbs is a coming of age teen adventure full of romance and laugh out loud humor. Fans of John Green’s Paper Towns and Looking for Alaska and Robyn Schneider’s The Beginning of Everything will find what they’re looking for in this debut young adult novel.

Edwin Green’s ex-girlfriend is famous. We’re talking cover-of-every-tabloid-in-the-grocery-store-line famous. She dumped Edwin one year ago on what he refers to as Black Saturday, and in hopes of winning her back, he’s spent the last twelve months trying to become famous himself. It hasn’t gone well.

But when a history class assignment pairs Edwin with Parker Haddaway, the mysterious new girl at school, she introduces him to Garland Lenox, the nursing-home-bound World War II veteran who will change Edwin’s life forever.

The three escape to France, in search of the old man’s long-lost love, and as word of their hilarious adventure spreads, they become media darlings. But when things fall apart, they also become the focus of French authorities. In a race against time, who will find love, and who will only find more heartache?

The Crush Dilemma by Susan Hatler

“About The Crush Dilemma:

Teen geek, Poppy Pinkleton, is adding some spice to her junior year of high school! A year of psychological experiments that will:

1) Earn her three units of college credit;
2) Give her an outlet to say what she wants, when she wants; and
3) Will NOT include her parents telling her to be the “bigger person.”

How, you ask? Poppy’s gotten the green light from Ms. Peterson, the newspaper head, to write an online advice column for the school. She’s found the perfect name for her alter ego: Aubrey. It means someone who rules with “magical wisdom.” She’ll be in control of her online experiment, online identity, and divvy her wisdom to the masses while tracking the results for her mini-thesis.

Now, protected by a secret identity, she’s got the popular crowd clambering to know what she thinks about fashion, homework, and eek . . . even sex! And the best part is, her parents and best friends don’t know anything about it. Finally, she can let loose a wild side and speak her mind—right or wrong, without having to meet anyone’s expectations.

Soon, however, dishing out advice leads to more than Poppy can handle on her own and she must make a choice. Hide behind her alter ego or take the chance that everyone, including the new boy at school, will like her for everything she is.

The Turning Stone by Terence Park

“About The Turning Stone:

For thousands of years a closely guarded secret has been kept safe. It concerns a pact made to bind the peoples of Earth into one race: man. Pre-human species used to war with each other and their powers were destructive; the only way to end this was to bind them together, by magic. The spell was hidden in a well-guarded artefact and safeguards were set to prevent it falling into the wrong hands, or so tradition tells. Ages have passed and humans grew together, developing a technological society; so legends of beings with great power are just that: legends. No Amazons, djinni, elementals or other more exotic types.
Westerners come to Uighuristan¹, archaeologists on vacation, with their reluctant teenaged offspring: Beni, Tinder Athene, Jak and Hunda who power up an old PC to check for information on an old stone with strange rune markings. They have found the Turning Stone. Their parents encounter Arshaana², a young housemaid, who needs urgent medical attention. But those who safeguarded the Turning Stone realise it is missing. This leads to trouble, forcing the Westerners to flee the country, taking Arshaana with them.
Once back home in NuWrld, a 3D printer is used to replicate the runestone and…
the spell that binds humanity together begins to unravel, threatening to destroy civilisation. Arshaana is sensitive to magical manifestation but can she save the day?
