Game Change by Margaret Peterson Haddix
Athletics
are everything for eighth-grader KT Sutton. She’s a softball star, and
she’s on track to get a college scholarship and achieve international
fame. Then one day during a championship game—in the middle of an
important play—she suddenly blacks out. When she wakes up,
she’s in a different world. One where school is class after class of
athletic drills, and after-school sports are replaced by popular
academic competitions. One where KT is despised for her talent, and
where her parents are fixated on her brother’s future mathletics career
rather than KT’s softball hopes. KT is desperate to get back
to reality as she knew it, but bits and pieces of disturbing memories
and dreams make her wonder if something truly awful happened there. What
if she’s lost something a lot more important than a softball game?Skylark by Megan Spooner

The Rise of Nine by Pittacus Lore
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
On a cold night every spring, sixteen-year-old Blue and her psychic mother wait in a churchyard for the dead to arrive. Her mother is usually the one who sees the spirits of people who will die within the next twelve months, but this year, Blue herself is startled by the sad, desperate sight of a boy named Gansey falling to his knees before her. "There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark's Eve, Blue. Either you're his true love...or you killed him." With those chilling words, Blue is caught up in a mystery she never expected involving the privileged Raven Boys from Aglionby Academy. She must guard her heart closely, however, because Blue's always been told that she's destined to kill her true love with a kiss. Book 1 in the Raven Cycle.
The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There by Catherynne M. Valente
In this sequel to The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making, September is 13 years old and in possession of a teenage heart that is “raw and new, fast and fierce.” It is this heart that guides her sophomore trip to Fairyland. When she literally stumbles into the magical realm, September finds that the inhabitants of Fairyland Above have been losing their shadows—sucked Below by the Alleyman, a floating red-feathered hat—and, along with them, their magic. As Fairyland Above becomes depleted, the underworld becomes a stronger, darker, increasingly renegade place under the rule of Halloween, September’s shadow. Can September return the shadows and reset the equilibrium in Fairyland?
