Teen Reader Recommends: The Gilded Wolves

A mathematician who can bend metals to her will. A historian with an affinity for colonial independence. A dancer who can read the memories of objects. A boy who can coax the unlikeliest of plants into bloom. All gathered by a hotelier with a goal of reparation for what he’s lost. Set in 1889 Paris, a city on the cusp of the Exposition Universelle and brimming with magic, Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chakshi is a masterpiece of historical fantasy.

Teen Reader Recommends: This Is How You Lose the Time War

From the minds of Amal El-Moher and Max Gladstone comes a truly revolutionary science fiction epic. For being a novella, this book manages to pack a lot into 147 pages. In dual point of views, two sworn enemies on opposite sides of a war through time leave each other letters that start out taunting and end with devotion.
