It's Not About the Accent
by Caridad Ferrer
in stores August 21

Sporting a new name and an exotic new Latina flair, she’s ready for her college debut. But is the luscious Carolina really better than plain-Jane Caroline?

Sick and tired of her life in small town Ohio—completely boring with a side of dull—college-bound Caroline Darcy is determined to start fresh... as a new person. And that means following in the footsteps of her late Nana Ellie—her witty and vibrant Cuban great- grandmother with a glamorous, well-traveled past. Donning a seriously caliente new wardrobe and a vivacious personality to match, she becomes Carolina, a half-Cuban aspiring actress, ready for adventure.

The Elves of Cintra
by Terry Brooks
in stores September 1

Fifty years from now, our world is a very different place. Governments have fallen. Pollution has poisoned the skies, water, and soil. Thousands live in highly fortified strongholds; others roam the landscape, as either predator or prey. Standing against the forces that have tipped the balance from good to evil are a very few heroes, men and women imbued with powerful magic and sworn to a high destiny. Among them are men and women like Logan Tom and Angel Perez. In The Elves of Cintra, Logan Tom flees Seattle - now under attack by an immense force of once-men led by demons - with a group of street kids in tow.
