The Vanishing Station (2024)
Ana Ellickson
"San Francisco is flipped upside down when Filipino American Ruby Santos ventures into a magical underworld to save her family. Against this rich, fantastical backdrop, Ellckson captures a complex character in Ruby that many will relate to, whose own dreams are sometimes offset by family burdens placed on young shoulders."
All That Shines (2023)
Ellen Hagan
"In evocative and poignant language, Ellen Hagan captures the beauty of community and the budding aspects of young love with delicate poetry, but it's her gorgeous backdrop of a sprawling Kentucky that truly makes this novel-in-verse stand out. All That Shines delves into the ugliness of privilege and the power of renewal with Kentucky's rich landscape and music as a soundtrack, cementing this novel's place among the classics."
Lulu and Milagro's Search for Clarity (2022)
Angela Velez
"In a truly hilarious and heartwarming debut, author Angela Velez breaks out with a story of sisterly love, family secrets, and the roles forced on us at a young age. Lulu and Milagro's Search for Clarity is a laugh-out-loud, college road trip novel full of Catholic school hijinks. You'll fall in love and root for Lulu and Milagro!"
