It's not uncommon for people to go missing in a vast and wild place like Alaska. But in a rainy forest just south of Juneau, it seems to happen more often than usual. The dense woods around Shadow Creek are beautiful and tempting, but there's also something menacing about them. Everyone in the nearby town knows the story of the Witch of Shadow Creek, although few suspect it's anything more than "just a story." When Jack Strader and his dad move from California to reopen the Shadow Creek Lodge after a family tragedy, they're just looking for a change. But Jack's about to find out that Shadow Creek is a place where the border between this world and the next is sometimes thin.

Everything is going fine for Olivia on the U. S. S. Wrightstaff, or as well as could be expected with two annoying interns and a Sherlock Holmes for companions. The sea is deep, the sky is blue - life is beautiful! That is, until people start disappearing. It's just a matter of time before Olivia suspects an ill plot behind the mysteries that begin to arise out of the ship's controls. What seemed at first to be a benign issue in the engine room quickly escalates into a full-fledged conspiracy on board. Faced with a rock or a hard place, Olivia must decide whether to fight for her life or her country in this seafaring tale of suspense and intrigue.

Green melds elements from his Looking for Alaska and An Abundance of Katherines— the impossibly sophisticated but unattainable girl, and a life-altering road trip—for another teen-pleasing read. Weeks before graduating from their Orlando-area high school, Quentin Jacobsen's childhood best friend, Margo, reappears in his life, specifically at his window, commanding him to take her on an all-night, score-settling spree. Quentin has loved Margo from not so afar (she lives next door), years after she ditched him for a cooler crowd. Just as suddenly, she disappears again, and the plot's considerable tension derives from Quentin's mission to find out if she's run away or committed suicide. Margo's parents, inured to her extreme behavior, wash their hands, but Quentin thinks she's left him a clue in a highlighted volume of Leaves of Grass. Q's sidekick, Radar, editor of a Wikipedia-like Web site, provides the most intelligent thinking and fuels many hilarious exchanges with Q. The title, which refers to unbuilt subdivisions and “copyright trap” towns that appear on maps but don't exist, unintentionally underscores the novel's weakness: both milquetoast Q and self-absorbed Margo are types, not fully dimensional characters. Readers who can get past that will enjoy the edgy journey and off-road thinking. Ages 12–up. --Publishers Weekly
