YA
Sixteen-year-old Quinn is dealing with an especially complicated unplanned pregnancy: her father is running for Congress, and she has no memory of ever having sex. Tensions rise as her "virgin" pregnancy becomes a public spectacle, while Quinn tries in vain to clarify murky memories from the time of conception. An unconventional realistic story with an intriguing supernatural thread and well-drawn characters.

At boarding school, Leena loves living in her Victorian-style dorm Frost House--until unusual things start happening to her roommate. Either her new roommate has a serious mental illness or the house is haunted. Baer's eerie modern-set gothic-style horror story will leave readers guessing whether madness or the supernatural is at work.
