IMPOSTOR trilogy, Susanne Winnacker. (Razorbill, 2013)
• Young Adult fiction •
Fresh, fast-paced supernatural thriller for teens. Equal parts romance, fantasy and murder mystery.
Tessa spent most her life hiding her “gift.” After all, what would normal people say if they knew she could steal their
appearance, perfectly imitate their looks from head to toe with just one touch? But all of that changed the day the FEA —
Forces with Extraordinary Abilities, an official branch of the FBI— came to her house to take her away. For the first time in
her life, Tessa belonged. She was no longer a burden or a freak like her mother raised her to believe.
Two years after coming to the FEA headquarters Tessa gets assigned her first real mission: She will shift into the body of the
serial killer’s latest victim, 16-year-old Madison Chambers, to bait and track down the murderer. At first Tessa hates her
mission, but soon she begins to like her role... perhaps too much. She finally has the loving family she’s always longed for. As
Tessa becomes absorbed in Madison’s world, the lines of her inner and outer identity blur. Will Tessa be able to stop the
killer without losing herself along the way?
TEAM HUMAN, Justine Larbalestier & Sarah Rees-Brennan. (HarperCollins, July 2012)
A hilarious and heartfelt tale of friendship, romance, personal growth, and supernatural creatures with the winning
tagline: “Friends Don’t Let Friends Date Vampires”
Rights sold: ANZ( Allen & Unwin), Turkish (Artemis)
Vampires are nothing out of the ordinary for Mel or any other resident of New Whitby, a town founded three hundred years
ago by blood-drinking undead hoping to escape persecution from their living, breathing peers. Mel doesn’t really give the
undead much thought –not until a stranger in a bizarre sun-proof Hazmat suit shows up on the first day of school and
captures the heart of her best friend Cathy.
A vampire since 1867, Francis is the very definition of an English gentleman. Only Mel despises him, frustrated by his
obnoxiously polite manners and his cold vampire demeanor, his inability to laugh or cry or embrace the world as she does.
When it becomes clear that Cathy is falling in love with Francis, and, worse yet, that Francis feels the same, Mel decides that
it’s up to her to save Cathy. And as if one wannabe-vampire in her life isn’t enough, Mel can’t help but have feelings for a
boy who’s determined to join the ranks of his undead family. Mel is soon caught up in an unexpected adventure that is
equally clever and hilarious, poignant and heartfelt. As Mel begins to realize how easy it is to make assumptions and
generalizations about a group of outsiders, TEAM HUMAN moves beyond simple parody with a story that is equal parts
funny, insightful and touching.
Praise for TEAM HUMAN:
CLAUDIA GRAY, author of the EVERNIGHT series — “No matter what team you’re on, there are characters here you’ll
cheer for. Suspense, humor, and romance: TEAM HUMAN has it all!”
RACHEL CAINE, author of THE MORGANVILLE VAMPIRES — “I could not be more a fan of this book than if I had
a TEAM HUMAN cheerleader outfit... brilliant, funny, sharply emotional!”
MAUREEN JOHNSON, author of NAME OF THE STAR — “Funny, scary, touching, and thoughtful in ways you’d
never expect: if you love vampire books, this is the book for you –if you hate vampire books, this is also the book for you.”
CORY DOCTOROW, author of LITTLE BROTHER — “Incredibly fresh and original –and absolutely charming.”
MAN MADE BOY, Jon Skovron (US: Viking, 2013, Australia: Allen & Unwin) (book + sequel sold)
Pitched as “John Green with monsters”, this is ones of the most original, inventive, touching novels you’ll read this
year.
The son of Frankenstein’s Monster and his Bride, Boy has spent his entire life to this point living and working with his
parents at The Show: a cabaret-style theater in New York City that is home to an extraordinary cast of monsters and
mythological creatures who seek protection from the modern world.
