HitlerJugend (Hitler Youth)
On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany, thanks largely to the efforts of the Hitler Youth, whose organized propaganda marches throughout Germany helped the Nazi Party grow in strength. By 1939 it is estimated that more than seven million boys and girls belonged to the Hitler youth.
Hitler Youth Growing up in Hitler's shadow is the riveting and often chilling tale of a generation of young people who devoted their energy and passion to the Hitler Youth organization and left an indelible mark on world history.
Award winning author Susan Campbell Bartoletti infuses the work with the voices of both former Hitler Youth members and young people who resisted the powerful Nazi movement.
These voices stand alongside those of Jewish youths and others who were senselessly and brutally targeted by the 3rd Reich.
What emerges is the story of average teenagers and children faced extraordinary and un enviable choices. The paths taken by the Hitler Youth and their struggle to come to terms with their actions at the end of WWII are sure to spark debate among young readers faced with the question of whether the horrors of Hitler's Germany could ever cast dark shadows again.

The Night Watcher by John Lutz
Someone is killing wealthy Manhattanites. One by one, the victims are discovered in luxurious high-rise apartments-bound, gagged, brutally murdered in the "safety" of their own homes. The killer's modus operandi is as horrifying as anything NYPD Detectives Ben Stack and Rica Lopez have ever seen.
As Stack and Lopez investigate the cruel deaths, they have no idea that they are being watched from the shadows-observed by a cunning murderer picking up all the clues necessary to stay one step ahead of the police while perfecting a deadly craft. And when a pattern slowly emerges, the detectives realize that the killings aren't the random acts of a maniac, but the personal campaign of someone bent on retribution...someone who's been watching closely and knows their case too well.

His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novic
Aerial combat brings a thrilling new dimension to the Napoleonic Wars as valiant warriors rise to Britain’s defense by taking to the skies . . . not aboard aircraft but atop the mighty backs of fighting dragons.
When HMS Reliant captures a French frigate and seizes its precious cargo, an unhatched dragon egg, fate sweeps Capt. Will Laurence from his seafaring life into an uncertain future–and an unexpected kinship with a most extraordinary creature. Thrust into the rarified world of the Aerial Corps as master of the dragon Temeraire, he will face a crash course in the daring tactics of airborne battle. For as France’s own dragon-borne forces rally to breach British soil in Bonaparte’s boldest gambit, Laurence and Temeraire must soar into their own baptism of fire.

holes
Stanley Yelnats is
under a curse. A curse that began with his
no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing great-great-grandfather and has since
followed generations of Yelnats. Now Stanley has been unjustly sent to a
boys' detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the boys build character by
spending all day, every day, digging holes exactly five feet wide and five feet
deep. There is no lake at Camp Green Lake. But there are an awful
lot of holes.
It doesn't take long for Stanley to realize there's more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake. The boys are digging holes because the warden is looking for something. But what could be buried under a dried-up lake? Stanley tries to dig up the truth in this inventive and darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment -- and redemption.
