Foodprints
By Ayer, Paula
The everyday choices we make when it comes to food don't just have an effect on us -- they also affect other people and the planet. Today's teens are more attuned to what they eat and where it comes from than any generation before them. But there's still more to know. Foodprints enables readers to do more than sort through the numerous messages they hear and read about food -- they also get the big picture about food production, marketing, and its role in society. Readers will discover: How our food system evolved from hunter gatherers to online ordering How mega-farms and factories came to produce the bulk of our current food supply How to work through confusing nutrition advice like good and bad carbs, as well as trendy superfoods such as kale, and fad diets The role of science in the modern food system, from improving safety and convenience, to GMOs (genetically modified organisms) and artificial flavors Why food advertisers want teens' attention and how they get it Stories about youth who are working to shape the future of food in positive ways, such as guerilla gardening and media activism.

You'd Be Home Now
By Glasgow, Kathleen
For all of Emory's life she's been told who she is. In town she's the rich one--the great-great-granddaughter of the mill's founder. At school she's hot Maddie Ward's younger sister. And at home, she's the good one, her stoner older brother Joey's babysitter. Everything was turned on its head, though, when she and Joey were in the car accident that killed Candy MontClaire. The car accident that revealed just how bad Joey's drug habit was. Four months later, Emmy's junior year is starting, Joey is home from rehab, and the entire town of Mill Haven is still reeling from the accident. Everyone's telling Emmy who she is, but so much has changed, how can she be the same person? Or was she ever that person at all? Mill Haven wants everyone to live one story, but Emmy's beginning to see that people are more than they appear.

Both of Me
By Friesen, Jonathan
It was supposed to be just another flight, another escape into a foreign place where she could forget her past, forget her attachments. Until Clara found herself seated next to an alluring boy named Elias Phinn—a boy who seems to know secrets she has barely been able to admit to herself for years. When her carry-on bag is accidentally switched with Elias’s identical pack, Clara uses the luggage tag to track down her things. At that address she discovers there is not one Elias Phinn, but two: the odd, paranoid, artistic, and often angry Elias she met on the plane, who lives in an imaginary world of his own making called Salem; and the kind, sweet, and soon irresistible Elias who greets her at the door, and who has no recollection of ever meeting Clara at all.
