Crewel
by Gennifer Albin
Incapable. Awkward.
Artless.
That’s what the other girls whisper behind her back. But
sixteen year-old Adelice Lewys has a secret: she wants to fail.
Gifted
with the ability to weave time with matter, she’s exactly what the Guild is
looking for, and in the world of Arras, being chosen as a Spinster is everything
a girl could want. It means privilege, eternal beauty, and being something other
than a secretary. It also means the power to embroider the very fabric of life.
But if controlling what people eat, where they live and how many children they
have is the price of having it all, Adelice isn’t interested.
Not that
her feelings matter, because she slipped and wove a moment at testing, and
they’re coming for her—tonight.
Now she has one hour to eat her mom’s
overcooked pot roast. One hour to listen to her sister’s academy gossip and
laugh at her Dad’s stupid jokes. One hour to pretend everything’s okay. And one
hour to escape.
Because once you become a Spinster, there’s no turning
back.

Beta
by Rachel Cohn
Elysia is created in a laboratory, born as a
sixteen-year-old girl, an empty vessel with no life experience to draw from. She
is a Beta, an experimental model of a teenage clone. She was replicated from
another teenage girl, who had to die in order for Elysia to exist.
Elysia's purpose is to serve the inhabitants of Demesne, an island paradise for the wealthiest people on earth. Everything about Demesne is bioengineered for perfection. Even the air induces a strange, euphoric high, which only the island's workers--soulless clones like Elysia--are immune to.
At first, Elysia's life is idyllic and pampered. But she soon sees that Demesne's human residents, who should want for nothing, yearn. But for what, exactly? She also comes to realize that beneath the island's flawless exterior, there is an under-current of discontent among Demesne's worker clones. She knows she is soulless and cannot feel and should not care--so why are overpowering sensations cloud-ing Elysia's mind?
If anyone discovers that Elysia isn't the unfeeling clone she must pretend to be, she will suffer a fate too terrible to imagine. When her one chance at happi-ness is ripped away with breathtaking cruelty, emotions she's always had but never understood are unleashed. As rage, terror, and desire threaten to overwhelm her, Elysia must find the will to survive.
The first in a dazzlingly original science fiction series from best-selling author Rachel Cohn, "Beta "is a haunting, unforgettable story of courage and love in a cor-rupted world.
