The Prom Goer’s Interstellar Excursion
By: Chris McCoy
Just a few days before prom, Bennett pulls off something he never imagined possible: his dream girl, Sophie, agrees to be his date. Moments afterward, however, he watches Sophie get abducted by aliens in the middle of the New Mexico desert. Faced with a dateless prom (and likely kidnapping charges), Bennett does the only thing he can think of: he catches a ride into outer space with a band of extraterrestrial musicians to bring her back. Can he navigate alien concert venues, an extraterrestrial reality show, and the band’s outlandish egos to rescue his date in time for the big dance?
This utterly unique and uproariously funny novel will have you laughing out loud until the very end and it’s unlikely you’ll ever meet a cast of characters like this anywhere else!

Beauty Queens
By: Libba Bray
The fifty contestants in the Miss Teen Dream Pageant thought this was going to be a fun trip to the beach, where they could parade in their state-appropriate costumes and compete in front of the cameras. But sadly, their airplane had another idea, crashing on a desert island and leaving the survivors stranded with little food, little water, and practically no eyeliner. What's a beauty queen to do? Continue to practice for the talent portion of the program - or wrestle snakes to the ground? Get a perfect tan - or learn to run wild? And what should happen when the pirates show up?
Told through the hilarious voices of 13 very different beauty queens, ridiculous footnotes, and, of course, words from your sponsor, Printz Award winning author Libba Bray has created an utterly fantastic tale of survival that will make you laugh, make you think, and make you never see beauty the same way again.
