DORA: A HEADCASE
YUKNAVITCH, LIDIA
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Ida needs a shrink . . . or so her philandering father thinks, and he sends her to a Seattle psychiatrist.
Immediately wise to the head games of her new shrink, whom she nicknames Siggy, Ida begins a coming-of-age
journey. At the beginning of her therapy, Ida, whose alter ego is Dora, and her small posse of pals engage in "art
attacks." Ida’s in love with her friend Obsidian, but when she gets close to intimacy, she faints or loses her voice.
Ida and her friends hatch a plan to secretly film Siggy and make an experimental art film. But something goes
wrong at a crucial moment—at a nearby hospital Ida finds her father suffering a heart attack. While Ida loses her
voice, a rough cut of her experimental film has gone viral, and unethical media agents are hunting her down. A
chase ensues in which everyone wants what Ida has.

THE DUSK WATCHMAN
LLOYD, TOM
After his pyrrhic victory at Moorview, King Emin learns the truth about the child Ruhen - but he is powerless to
act. Instead, he must mourn his dead friends while his enemy promises the beleaguered peoples of the Land a
new age of peace. The past year has taken a grave toll: the remaining Menin troops seek revenge upon Emin,
daemons freely walk the Land, and Ruhen's power is increasing daily. And yet, a glimmer of hope remains.
There is one final, desperate chance for victory: a weapon, so terrible only a dead man could wield it, and only a
madman would try. But if they do not grasp this opportunity, King Emin and his allies will be obliterated as
Ruhen's millennia-old plans are about to bear terrible fruit. If his power continues unchecked, Ruhen will achieve
total dominion - and not just over mankind, but over the Gods themselves. One way or another, the future of the
Land will be decided now - written in the blood of men.
