- Getting away with murder / by Foxfield, Kathryn,author.;
When Saffron is forced to do work experience at a tech company, she gets into an argument with her supervisor over which high school stereotype would survive the longest in a horror film: the sports star? The queen bee? The geek? The drama girl? The class clown? The rebel? Unbeknown to them, the AI robot she is working on at the time decides to determine the answer by testing it out for real. It designs an algorithm to search social media and school records to find the best examples of each stereotype from the neighboring towns and the invitations go out - six people, including Saffron's perfectionist sister Georgia, will be trapped in a series of deadly escape rooms and only one will survive the night.14+ years old.- Subjects: Young adult fiction.; Thrillers (Fiction); School fiction.; Novels.; Artificial intelligence; Escape room games; Stereotypes (Social psychology); Survival; Artificial intelligence; Escape room games; Stereotypes (Social psychology); Survival;

- The fragments that remain / by Angeconeb, Mackenzie,author.;
"First-year college student Andy can't afford to slow down.

Navigating a new life chapter without her "honorary twin," Andy writes letters to him as she strives to embrace her bisexuality and her Indigenous identity. Once she discovers Ally's hidden poems, Andy pours over them to make sense of her brother's life -- and his death. Back in senior year, Ally dreamed of being a poet. His parents encouraged him to write as a hobby, but they always expected him to inherit the family-owned bookshop with his sister. Ally wrote to cope with his emptiness, until he turned to drugs to fill the void.

- Badass(ish) / by Heilman, Jaymie Patricia,author.;
"Three teens set out to stop a pipeline, but their secrets, anxieties, and one very obnoxious ex-boyfriend might just explode their friendship first. Reeling from an online HateStorm after she blamed Alberta's oil industry for a devastating forest fire, Davis wades back into climate activism to impress her two new friends and win back her ex-boyfriend. The novel is told from the points of view of the three main characters: Davis' parents work for the oil company she is fighting against; Renzi knows what it's like when climate change strikes back when her grandparents' home in Puerto Rico is destroyed by hurricanes and Jae hasn't found the right moment to share the truth about her growing feelings for another girl. Tripped up by family pressures and their own secrets and lies, the teens' anti-pipeline efforts may jeopardize their friendship and lose the people they love most unless they find their own ways to fight for what they believe in."--- Subjects: Young adult fiction.; Bildungsromans.; Novels.; Climatic changes; Friendship; Pipelines; Climatic changes; Friendship; Pipelines;

- Death at Morning House [electronic resource] : by Johnson, Maureen.aut; cloudLibrary;
From the bestselling author of the Truly Devious books, Maureen Johnson, comes a new stand-alone YA about a teen who uncovers a mystery while working as a tour guide on an island and must solve it before history repeats itself. The fire wasn’t Marlowe Wexler’s fault. Dates should be hot, but not hot enough to warrant literal firefighters. Akilah, the girl Marlowe has been in love with for years, will never go out with her again. No one dates an accidental arsonist. With her house-sitting career up in flames, it seems the universe owes Marlowe a new summer job, and that’s how she ends up at Morning House, a mansion built on an island in the 1920s and abandoned shortly thereafter. It’s easy enough, giving tours. Low risk of fire. High chance of getting bored talking about stained glass and nut cutlets and Prohibition. Oh, and the deaths. Did anyone mention the deaths? Maybe this job isn’t such a gift after all. Morning House has a horrific secret that’s been buried for decades, and now the person who brought her here is missing. All it takes is one clue to set off a catastrophic chain of events. One small detail, just like a spark, could burn it all down—if someone doesn’t bury Marlowe first.Young adult.- Subjects: Electronic books.; Contemporary; Mysteries & Detective Stories; 20th Century;

- 40 days in Hicksville / by Kilbourne, Christina,author.;

Zach, the boy who lives next door, tries to befriend Kate even though she ignores him. But when Kate discovers her estranged grandfather lives nearby, she wants to meet him despite the small-town rumors of his violent past and takes Zach with her. That's when they find the crevasse on her grandfather's property and the skeletons hidden inside. That's the day they find out Kate's uncle and his friend went missing as teenagers.
