Prepped
by Bethany MangleFor fans of Jeff Zentner and Katie Henry comes a thrilling and funny debut about a teen raised in a doomsday community who plots her escape with the boy from the bunker next door.Always be ready for the worst day of your life. This is the mantra that Becca Aldaine has grown up with. Her family is part of a community of doomsday preppers, a neighborhood that prioritizes survivalist training over class trips or senior prom. They&’re even arranging Becca&’s marriage with Roy Kang, the only eligible boy in their community. Roy is a nice guy, but he&’s so enthusiastic about prepping that Becca doesn&’t have the heart to tell him she&’s planning to leave as soon as she can earn a full ride to a college far, far away. Then a devastating accident rocks Becca&’s family and pushes the entire community, including Becca&’s usually cynical little sister, deeper into the doomsday ideology. With her getaway plans thrown into jeopardy, the only person Becca can turn to is Roy, who reveals that he&’s not nearly as clueless as he&’s been pretending to be. When Roy proposes they run away together, Becca will have to risk everything—including her heart—for a chance to hope for the best instead of planning for the worst.

Presumption: A Sequel to Pride and Prejudice
by Julia Barrett“An elegant emulation and continuation of Pride and Prejudice . . . shows how sequel-writing can, like parody, be a sharp exercise in literary appreciation.” —Times Literary SupplementThis witty sequel to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice follows the fate of Georgiana Darcy, Mr. Darcy’s younger sister, who must choose between two suitors, a well-placed navy captain and a brash young architect. Masterfully adapted to Austen’s original nineteenth-century style, Presumption brings back to life the book’s most memorable characters, the Bennets, Darcys, Collins, and de Bourghs.Julia Barrett is a pseudonym for Julia Braun Kessler and Gabrielle Donnelly.“Elizabeth’s intense embarrassment for her family, Darcy’s latent heroism and the miscellaneous barbarisms of the Bennet and Darcy clans . . . are energetically and often quite delightfully handled, evoking the spirit of Pride and Prejudice.” —The New York Times Book Review“Presumption’s style . . . evokes Jane Austen’s dry wit . . . [It] moves briskly along, highlighted by the unwitting comic genius of Georgiana’s imperious aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review“A boon to anyone who has every yearned for one more in the Jane Austen canon.” —Cynthia Ozick, New York Times–bestselling author“A witty, amusing sequel to Pride and Prejudice . . . For Austen lovers not affronted by the whole concept, a pleasant diversion. Otherwise, a stylish entertainment that may lead some to the unsurpassable Jane.” —Kirkus Reviews“Barrett expertly captures Austen’s ironic voice and subject matter in a book that is sure to delight and intrigue most Austen devotees. Highly recommended.” —Library Journal
