The Blood Guar, a debut novel by Carter Roy is about 13 year-old Ronan Truelove who has just discovered he's a member of The Blood Guard, an ancient order of knights created to protect the 36 Pure. He's plunged into a high-octane world where car chases and indestructible assailants are all part of a day's work. Suddenly his mother's insistence on martial arts lesions makes sense.

In Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell, Eleanor is the new girl in town, and she's never felt more alone. All mismatched clothes, mad red hair and chaotic home life, she couldn't stick out more if she tried. Then she takes the seat on the bus next to Park.
Quiet, careful and - in Eleanor's eyes - impossibly cool, Park's worked out that flying under the radar is the best way to get by. Slowly, steadily, through late-night conversations and an ever-growing stack of mixed tapes, Eleanor and Park fall in love. They fall in love the way you do the first time, when you're 16, and you have nothing and everything to lose.
Set over the course of one school year in 1986, Eleanor and Park is funny, sad, shocking and true - an exquisite nostalgia trip for anyone who has never forgotten their first love.
Eleanor & Park reminded me not just what it's like to be young and in love with a girl, but also what it's like to be young and in love with a book."
—John Green, The New York Times Book Review
