Lovely War
Young adult · ages 14–18 · 820L · 2020
A rare YA war novel that earns its emotional devastation through craft, not sentiment—four overlapping romances that fracture under the weight of actual history, with prose that lingers.
The Passion of Dolssa
Young adult · ages 14–18 · 820L · 2016
A historically grounded love story about conviction and heresy that trusts teens to hold complexity—the Church isn't evil, the family's fear is rational, and Dolssa's choices carry real cost.
If Looks Could Kill
Middle grade · ages 10–14 · 780L · 2025
A genuinely smart mystery about middle-school social fragmentation—funny and dark enough to hold teen readers, thoughtful enough that parents won't cringe at the reread.
