The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod: Eighth Grade Bites
Written by Heather Brewer

“Could you get me O positive this time? That’s my favorite." Vlad's got it pretty easy for a half-vampire. Since his parents died years ago in a mysterious fire, he's lived with his aunt, a nurse who can easily keep up a regular supply of blood for him. She and Vlad's best friend Henry are the only ones who understand what he is, and Vlad manages to live a mostly normal life. Events turn suspicious, however, when his English teacher goes missing, and the substitute starts asking him curious questions. Is Vlad in danger of being exposed?

Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac
Written by Gabrielle Zevin

Naomi Porter fell. It was an accident, but she's lost all of her memories of the last four years. Now Naomi's got a lot of catching up to do. Some things makes sense. Her best friend, for example, feels "comfortable and broken-in like favorite jeans." Other things are puzzling or downright distressing. She feels no connection to her jock boyfriend Ace, yet feels drawn to a new boy named James. Her parents have divorced, she has a half-sister she's never met, and she finds birth control pills in her drawer. Naomi's facing a rare chance to reassess her life and maybe make some important changes.
