When Sophie Sophia's eccentric physicist father disappears for good and Sophie's mom moves them from Brooklyn to Havencrest, Illinois, for a fresh start, things take a turn for the weird. Guided by Walt, her shaman panda, and her new (human) friend named Finny, Sophie is determined to find her father and figure out her visions once and for all. Kari Luna's The Theory of Everything (Philomel books) is a whimsical novel that will change the way you think of the world. In Trinkets (Little, Brown), Hollywood screenwriter Kirsten Smith (Legally Blonde) tells a story from multiple perspectives with humor and warmth as three very different girls who are supposed to be learning the steps to recovery end up learning the rules of friendship. Firecracker (Razorbill) is a hilarious tragicomedy from New Girl and Saturday Night Live writer David Iserson. Astrid Krieger lives in a rocket ship prototype in the backyard of her parents' estate. Her recent expulsion from the elite Bristol Academy has won her a unique punishment: she'll have to attend public school for the first time ever. Will Astrid finally meet her match there? Will she find out who betrayed her and got her expelled from Bristol?
