MIRROR, MIRROR by Chloe Michelle
Publisher - Mardi Gras Press ISBN - 1-934329-56-8
YA - Manga / Fantasy 240 pgs
I didn’t plan to spend my last summer vacation before college kidnapping the future Emperor of Japan. And I didn’t expect to be chased, attacked, or seduced by sword wielding samurai or put on the marriage market by an ancestor who died a century before I was born, but I was. And it all started with a shabby old mirror I found after publicly humiliating myself…


DEE DAYS by Adelle Laudan
Publisher - Mardi Gras Press ISBN 1-934329-20-7
Tween - Mystery (series) 120 pgs
Deedee is twelve years old and taller than all of her friends. As if that wasn’t bad enough, they had to move, which meant a new house, a new school and new friends. Her life was over!! Soon after they moved Deedee met Anita and they became fast friends. They were told not to go into the Arena at the end of the street. It had been boarded up for years and wasn’t safe. Curiosity got the better of the two girls and they made plans to explore the old skating rink. What would they find? Was it really as dangerous as they said? Would they regret not listening to all the warnings? They would find out soon enough…



I WAS A TEENAGE POPSICLE By Bev Katz Rosenbaum
Publisher: Gerkley Jam ISBN: 0425211800
YA - Sci-fi/ Chic Lit 256 pgs
Floe Ryan was frozen—well, ‘vitrified’—when she was sixteen. She’s just been thawed, and guess what, it’s ten years in the future and she’s still a teenager. And her parents are still, shall we say, chilling out. Floe’s little sister is now her older sister (and guardian!), and payback’s a beyotch. On top of that, Floe has to get used to a new school, new technology, and a zillion other new things that happened while she was napping in the freezer. Luckily, she has Taz Taber–the hottie sk8er boy who used to make her melt before she was frozen—to reintegrate with. But now they’re trying to close the Venice Beach Cryonics Center—with Floe’s parents still in it! Now that’s cold. It’s up to Floe to save the clinic and her parents—so she can finally have a chance at a somewhat normal life…
