Graceling By Kristin CashoreKatsa is born with the "grace" or special ability of killing. As such, she is taken and trained by her uncle, the king, to be his trained thug and enforcer. Then Katsa meets another graced individual, Prince Po, and everything begins to change for her. I absolutely couldn't put this book down! A fabulous first book. I hope she writes more about these characters.
All We Know of Love By Nora Raleigh Baskin
Natalie is confused about love. Her mother left without a word four years ago and never came back. Her dad is often distant. Her boyfriend seems to be only interested in her for sex. So Natalie leaves on a bus to Florida to find her mother. Unlike other "on the road" books with children on a mission to find missing parents, this one lets the reader glimpse snippets of the lives (and thoughts about love) of the people with whom Natalie comes into contact during her trip.
