Lillie Lainoff recommends

The Hollow and the Haunted (2024)
Camilla Raines
"A magical, genre-bending read, The Hollow and the Haunted is a wonderful story about the strength to be yourself and to do the right thing, even when it's hard. Raines's prose sparkles with humor, and Gabriel and Miles are impossible not to root for. I can't wait for the sequel!"

The Ballad of Jacquotte Delahaye (2024)
Briony Cameron
"A high-stakes, gripping adventure full of heart-pounding duels and bonds that run deeper than blood, The Ballad of Jacquotte Delahaye is an engrossing debut. Jacquotte and her determination to chart her own course, rather than follow the path others have set before her, will stay with readers long after the final page."

Daughter of the Bone Forest (2024)
(Witch Hall Duology, book 1)
Jasmine Skye
"An absolute powerhouse of a debut. In Skye's deft prose, a magic school and living landscapes showcase a longing to break free from the roles pushed upon us, to protect those we love, and to hold fast to our convictions and ourselves, even in the direst of circumstances. This is a truly special book, one that readers will be sure to love and one that I will be thinking about for a very long time."

Escaping Mr. Rochester (2024)
L L McKinney
"A riveting and powerful read."

At the Speed of Lies (2023)
Cindy L Otis
"Starring a fierce wheelchair user who uncovers conspiracy theories and takes down ableist bullies, At the Speed of Lies is a page-turning thriller of a debut novel."

Where You See Yourself (2023)
Claire Forrest
"Equal parts hilarious and heartfelt, Where You See Yourself is a book I needed as a disabled high school senior. What a gift Forrest has given readers."

I'm Not Supposed to Be in the Dark (2023)
Riss M Neilson
"In Neilson's hands, a ghost story is never just a ghost story - teenage rebellion and friendship troubles are woven together with captivating imagery, compelling characters, and yes, ghosts. This book is a study in the lengths we will go to in order to protect those we love. A study in knowing when to let go and when to hold on - even if it means risking ourselves in the process."

Cake Eater (2022)
Allyson Dahlin
"Viciously sharp, Cake Eater is part-mystery, part-thriller, and part rom-com. Biting and unflinching, Cake Eater is unlike any YA book I have ever read."

A Heavy Dose of Allison Tandy (2022)
(Heavy Dose of Allison Tandy, book 1)
Jeff Bishop
"Witty, unflinching, and with a poignancy that builds right up until the last page when you realize you are crying, A Heavy Dose of Allison Tandy is a master class in voice and dialogue. Is this debut novel contemporary, a romcom, a comedy, a drama, a work of speculative fiction? It is all of these, and none of these, and it does not matter. A Heavy Dose of Allison Tandy is a truly wonderful debut."

Breathe and Count Back from Ten (2022)
Natalia Sylvester
"Breathtaking and utterly original... A tribute to disabled bodies and a vital addition to YA literature."

The Nightland Express (2020)
J M Lee
"Jesse and Ben's journey as Pony Express riders is thrilling, but their voyages of self--ones that defy maps, road markers, and what society would have them be--make the The Nightland Express truly shine. Make no mistake, there is no fool's gold to be found here: The Nightland Express is a poignant, gripping novel."
