More YA Series Books and/or Sequels

Bitter Rose: Color Me Crushed
By Melody Carlson

The latest in the True Colors series has a Mexican-American high school senior dealing with the seperation and divorce of her parents and their effects on her relationship with them and with God.

It Begins and Rest in Peace
By Richie Tankersley Cusick

The first 2 installments of the Unseen series are classic Tankersley horror.

Blood Fever
By Charles Higson

The second installment of the Young James Bond series. I haven't read this one yet, but the first one was quite good.

Second Helpings and Charmed Thirds
By Megan McCafferty

Sequels to the wildly popular, Sloppy Firsts.

Maximum Security
By Robert Muchamore

The latest in the Cherub series about a secret branch of Britain's MI5 made up of teens. This one has the agents trying to break the son of a weapons dealer out of prison in order to get to his father. I haven't read this one, but the first one in the series was very good.

Startled By His Furry Shorts
By Louise Rennison

The latest adventures of Georgia Nicholson. Yes, I know we no longer have copies of some of the early ones in this series. Unfortunately they "grew legs" over the summer and disappeared, and most of the YA budget has been spent. I'll replace them when funds are available again.

Duckling Ugly and Red Rider's Hood
By Neal Shusterman

The latest additions to the Dark Fusion series has Shusterman once again taking classic fairy tales and giving them sinister, creepy twists. I haven't read any of these yet, but I like the concept so they are on my to-read-soon list. I'll let you know what I think.

Club Dread
By Walter Sorrels

In this sequel to Fake ID, Chastity and her Mom, on the run from the evil corporate magnate Kyle Van Epps, are in San Francisco where Chass witnesses a murder. When the cops hone in on her as the only suspect despite clear forensic evidence that proves her innocence, Chass decides to solve the crime herself by infiltrating a secret, elite club of teenagers.

Ex-Rating and Speed Dating
By Natalie Standiford

The latest additions to the Dating Game series both involve the girls' blogs.

Specials
By Scott Westerfeld

The conclusion of the incredibly popular Uglies series, in the carefully engineered, futuristic society where everyone is transformed into a “pretty” on their sixteenth birthday, but at a cost.
