If you are not sure what to read, let me introduce a couple of new books.

"The Perfect Shot" by Elaine Marie Alphin - Brian uses basketball to block out memories of his girlfriend and her family, who were gunned down a year ago, but the upcoming murder trial and a high school history assignment force him to face the past and decide how far he should go to see justice served.

"Cold in Summer" by Tracy Barrett - At the beginning of seventh grade, Ariadne moves to a Tennessee town near a former farming community submerged under a man-made lake and meets the ghost of a girl from the past.
