by Timothee di Fombelle, translated from the French by Saron Arldezzone.

Vango grew up on a island off the Sicily with his caretaker but doesn’t know anything about his background, but knows he is being hunted.

Zac & Mia by A.J. Betts

While undergoing a bone marrow transplant, Zac meets Mia who has a cancerous tumor in her leg. It all begins with Lady Gaga and a knock on the wall. Zac deals by turning to statistics but Mia is in denial. Her leg has to be amputated and she runs away before she has healed and ends up at Zac’s family’s farm and petting zoo. He uses his ‘one wish’ for kids with cancer to get her a top of the line new leg but tells her he is using it for a trip to Disney World and sends her letters from America until she sees through his deception.
