| Speak |
| Anderson, Laurie Halse |
| This book is about a girl who had one bad experience at a party, causing everyone to hate her. I can't give too much more away but you should really read it. It's pretty dark but funny in some places. I couldn't stop reading it... very good book |

| The summoning |
| Armstrong, Kelley |
| In this book, the main character can summon the dead and gets sent to the Lyle House after she has a mental breakdown at school. In her new home for "troubled teens", she meets some other kids who possess strange powers just like her. What are the powers for and why are they all at the same recovery home at the same time...by coincidence? This book certainly kept me on the edge of my seat. |
