Here are just a few of the many exciting titles that have arrived on our shelves.  

Visit the GMS Media Center and check one out today. 

Conor has nightmares every night.  Yet one night a monster appears at his window.  He is not the monster from his nightmares.   With his mom seriously ill with cancer, Conor's visits from the monster represent something more.  Who or what actually is the monster?  

 Sierra's lives in California, yet every year she spends Christmas in Oregon at her family's tree lot.   Usually she cannot wait to get back to sunny CA, but this year she meets Caleb.  He has a questionable past, but is it all it seems?  A heart-warming story of   first love from the author of Thirteen Reasons Why.  

The Tales of the Peculiar is a book of fairy tales, but they are not your average fairy tales.  From the world of  Miss Peregrines home for Peculiar Children, these fairy tales are just what you would expect.  Stories of cannibals, a fork-tongued princess, and ghosts, these stories are just the right amount of weird you would expect from the world of the Peculiar's!
