Some of the new arrivals for teens (and other fans of YA novels):

Awkward by Marni Bates
Mackenzie isn't the most graceful girl in school, but when someone catches her latest awkward moment on video, she becomes the latest YouTube sensation. Suddenly she's popular, and that's when things get really interesting...

The End of the Line by Angela Cerrito

Hidden by Helen Frost
