(2) YA Illustrated by Jillian Tamaki. In this dark quest fantasy, fourteen-year-old Melanie Tamaki's mother has been kidnapped and taken to Half World, a mid-point between our mortal realm and the afterlife. As Melanie navigates this nightmarish land, her allies help her realize her destiny. The growth of the heroine and the clean narrative arc, which careens from one vivid, surreal scene to the next, should captivate readers.
