Book excerpt: No home, no family, no nothing. This is how Rose and her sister Snow have lived for their entire lives: hiding in the bowels of Rove City, begging for scraps, and relying on the kindness of the mysterious Baron for survival tips--all while avoiding security bots, stealing to survive, and doing everything within their power to avoid capture. Then comes the purge. The city suddenly begins changing security schedules, doing random maintenance, and arresting anyone who is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Not to mention, the mysterious Baron, who has helped them so many times before, seems to have disappeared. And there's nothing Rose can do. Or so she thinks. The purge sends the sisters fleeing into the main levels of the city where they must hide in plain sight, protected only by their wits and the strange appearances of a stray dog. Rose quickly begins to realize that the way they are living their lives is unsustainable. No matter how hard they try, how fast they run, or how well they hide--eventually, they will get caught. Unless she can find the Baron. With the help of her new friend Aspen, Rose risks everything to find out who this mysterious Baron is, so together they can help save every underdweller in Rove City.

Book excerpt: Edna Oliphant's job relies on leads. A client is missing a ring? They hire her to find it. They've lost their dog? Edna is on the case. Her job as a Finder usually centers on the mundane, but every so often something extremely interesting will land in her lap. Like an ancient map that supposedly leads nowhere. When Edna's brother Lance drags her to the underground bar, BloodAxe, she is roped into playing a dangerous and illegal game of White Rabbit in exchange for a lead. She comes in second place, which gets her access to an old map supposedly leading to the lost world of Yuva. It doesn't take much digging before Edna finds herself embroiled in a family feud fight dating back generations, with her arch rival actively seeking to prevent her from succeeding. With the help of her brother, Lance, and Quin Black from the Globe, Edna sets out to discover the meaning of this ancient map, and perhaps even find the lost world herself. Meanwhile, John wants nothing to do with anything. Except sleep. If he could only fall asleep and stay asleep, then maybe when he woke up, things would be better. Maybe he would find his life interesting again. Maybe he would want to see his friends again. Maybe… But in an effort to avoid his responsibilities and potentially find a good place to nap, John flees through the polylocus Door in his office and finds himself lost in a strange new world, captive to an unfamiliar species of bird-like alien who are in the middle of a civil war, and uncertain of if he'll ever make it home.

Book excerpt: For nearly thirty years, Penny has searched the galaxy for her missing son. She has a reputation throughout the solar systems as a relentless mother on a mission—and as a woman who won’t let the chronic pain she suffers prevent her from achieving her goal. Then Penny gets a tip. Someone on Rove City might have a clue to her son’s whereabouts. This will probably be a dud, just like the last hundred tips, but she decides to try one last time. If she still can’t find him, she’ll settle down and live out her days on a nearby planet, and maybe try to find some peace for the first time in her life. When the tip turns out to be a double cross, she finds herself flying across the galaxy toward a mysterious planet said to be inhabited by ghosts, with two disreputable people who she absolutely cannot trust—and still with no idea where her son is. Penny must confront her own hopes, fears, and grief over her lost boy as she hurtles through space, destination unknown. Hook’s Regret is the fourth book in the Rove City series, and a retelling of Peter Pan.

Book excerpt: A Finalist for the 2019 Kirkus Prize in Nonfiction "Nayeri combines her own experience with those of refugees she meets as an adult, telling their stories with tenderness and reverence.” —The New York Times Book Review "Nayeri weaves her empowering personal story with those of the ‘feared swarms’ . . . Her family’s escape from Isfahan to Oklahoma, which involved waiting in Dubai and Italy, is wildly fascinating . . . Using energetic prose, Nayeri is an excellent conduit for these heart–rending stories, eschewing judgment and employing care in threading the stories in with her own . . . This is a memoir laced with stimulus and plenty of heart at a time when the latter has grown elusive.” —Star–Tribune (Minneapolis) Aged eight, Dina Nayeri fled Iran along with her mother and brother and lived in the crumbling shell of an Italian hotel–turned–refugee camp. Eventually she was granted asylum in America. She settled in Oklahoma, then made her way to Princeton University. In this book, Nayeri weaves together her own vivid story with the stories of other refugees and asylum seekers in recent years, bringing us inside their daily lives and taking us through the different stages of their journeys, from escape to asylum to resettlement. In these pages, a couple fall in love over the phone, and women gather to prepare the noodles that remind them of home. A closeted queer man tries to make his case truthfully as he seeks asylum, and a translator attempts to help new arrivals present their stories to officials. Nayeri confronts notions like “the swarm,” and, on the other hand, “good” immigrants. She calls attention to the harmful way in which Western governments privilege certain dangers over others. With surprising and provocative questions, The Ungrateful Refugee challenges us to rethink how we talk about the refugee crisis. “A writer who confronts issues that are key to the refugee experience.” —Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Sympathizer and The Refugees
