ZOMBIES
VS UNICORNS
edited by Holly Black
and Justine Larbalestier
Proprietors: Barry Goldblatt & Jill Grinberg
Zombies or Unicorns: Which side are you
on? This anthology was born out of an online
argument between Holly and Justine, and it
turned out there were many authors who had
thoughts on the subject. Smart, sometimes
funny, sometimes terrifying, this collection is
sure to spread the argument even further.
Justine Larbalestier is the author of LIAR,
the Magic or Madness trilogy, and HOW
TO DITCH YOUR FAIRY. She was born and
raised in Sydney, Australia, and she and her
husband, Scott Westerfeld, now split their
time between Sydney and New York City.
Holly Black is the bestselling author of the
Spiderwick series.

and entertaining fairy-tale-based fantasy with
a nice balance of character development and

adventure.”

Blythe Woolston’s first novel is cleverly written
and captivating. The narrative character of Loa,
is a complex, candid and often humorous one.
KATHE KOJA, author of Headlong: “When I read
for pleasure, I read for voice, and Loa’s voice is
so true, so bone-dry funny, so enormously sad...
Brava Blythe Woolston for giving this girl’s voice
to the world.”
Ages: 12+
For her third young adult novel, prolific and
versatile author Ilsa Bick has created a narrator
unlike any other.
Jenna Lord has been through hell. Jenna
Lord is many things. But she’s no victim, and
she’s definitely not sweet.
