Victoria Dare and the Blood of Kings by Josh Roberts (Owl Hollow Press) - moved from May 2026.
For sixteen-year-old Victoria Dare, joining her famous father on an archaeological dig outside Cairo is a chance to finally prove herself worthy of her family's legacy. But when the search for a legendary scroll attracts the attention of rival treasure hunters, the expedition quickly turns deadly.
Fleeing for her life, Victoria fights not just for survival, but also for answers. Why are Nazi occultists and Russian assassins suddenly pursuing her? Who is the mysterious “Shrouded Man” that searches for her in dreams? And what is so important about her blood that Hitler’s agents will stop at nothing to capture it?
Across mountains and continents, through deserts, ruins, and catacombs, Victoria must decide who she can trust—and who she’s willing to become—to learn the truth and recover an ancient treasure that could change the course of history.
The Bittersweet Tea Shop by Alechia Dow (Feiwel and Friends) - moved from March 2027, previously titled A Taste of Memories.
At The Bittersweet Tea Shop; where magick coats the walls, tabletops, and scones, silverwitch Oriana Thistle allows people to relive their fondest memories by recreating recipes connected to their taste. Her abilities keep the family business afloat, yet her mother worries that Ori is so focused on letting others enjoy their memories that she hasn’t been making her own. Before she leaves on a trip to celebrate the coronation of a new royal, her mother gives Ori a list of tasks: reduce her workload, create a new menu that bridges the traditional items customers expect with the modernity Ori desires, and the big one: write a recipe that represents who she is and what she wants to do with her life. If she can do all of that, she can run the tearoom her own way, something Ori has wanted from the moment she could pick up a whisk.
But not even hours after her mother leaves, a mysterious boy arrives desperately seeking help. Never one to turn away someone in need, especially another silverwitch, she offers him refuge. Yet once he shares his story with her, Ori quickly realizes she's out of her depth. Taro Isamu broke the most sacred rules of silvercraft: when memory-walking with a client, if you find an absence in it, do not try to fill it in or engage it: there’s a chance you may encounter a Remnant––someone purposely forgotten. Taro engaged, allowing the Remnant to attach to his magick, and slowly drain it until there’s nothing left.
Helping Taro will take time and energy Ori doesn’t have and worse, he's wholly distracting; powerful if hapless, talented if disastrous, and far too pretty for his own good. But she can’t say no and she has an unsettling feeling that they were meant to meet, that perhaps his Remnant holds the key to her family and their forgotten past. So they strike a deal; Ori will find a solution if Taro assists with her completing the tasks. Soon, though, what begins as a reluctant friendship becomes something far more memorable and even more delicious.
Taylor and Jade: A True Story of Mental Health in Teenage America by Jennifer Miller (FSG)
Once upon a time, a girl named Jade had a panic attack in freshman English. Once upon a time, a girl named Taylor walked into her parents’ bedroom and said, “I think I need to see a therapist.” Once upon a time, everyone thought teenagers were just kids—free from serious, real-world problems. Now, everyone knows better.
JADE lives in the rural Midwest. Her family life is rough. Sometimes she doesn’t want to go home at all. She’d rather spend time at her boyfriend’s house, at her job, or even at school. Her classmates can be cruel, but at least some of the teachers and counselors actually listen to her. Jade is strong; if she can just make it to her eighteenth birthday, she’ll be free. But it’s hard. So many days, she wonders: Am I burden? Do I deserve to be happy? Do I have any control over my own life?
TAYLOR is a city kid: Harlem, the Bronx, anywhere the subway can take her. Is it her, though? Sometimes Taylor feels more like a they. Taylor knows their parents love them, but do their parents understand them? Does anyone? For Taylor, figuring out relationships is hard. Managing friendships is hard. Sometimes just getting out of bed is hard.
For Taylor and Jade, depression, anxiety, and trauma are facts of life. But so is their daily fight to rise above the darkness. In this powerful and propulsive read, you’ll join them on their often harrowing journey through high school. You’ll meet the people in their lives—the ones who help, and the ones who hurt. You’ll see the world the way Taylor and Jade do—in all its joy and complexity and pain. And maybe in getting to know them, you’ll even see yourself more clearly.
With a thoughtful forward by Dr. Stephanie Pinder-Amaker, the founding director of the College Mental Health Program at McLean Hospital and an associate professor at Harvard Medical School, Taylor and Jade is essential reading for today’s teens and the adults who love them.
