*The Teeny-Weeny Unicorn by Shawn Harris
Middle Grade
*Alterations by Ray Xu
*Mascot by Charles Waters and Traci Sorell

Just the right amount of middle-grade creepy. (Which is my top threshold for creepy.) I was feeling “The Yellow Wallpaper.” Were you?
Young Adult

*Conditions of a Heart by Bethany Mangle
*Wrath Becomes Her by Aden Polydoros

Grownup Fiction
Apples Never Fall by Liane Moriarty
The Cherry Robbers by Sarai Walker
Business or Pleasure by Rachel Lynn Solomon
Grownup Nonfiction
Unmask Alice: LSD, Satanic Panic, and the Imposter Behind the World’s Most Notorious Diaries by Rick Emerson
Probably not compelling at all if you aren’t familiar with Go Ask Alice. Incredibly gripping if you are familiar.
