(2) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Japanese Canadian Kaede's mother died recently in a car accident. Chapman effectively alternates Kaede's first-person narrative with letters he writes in a journal he begins keeping for school; it's his constant companion during a summer spent in Tokyo with his father and half-brother--neither of whom he's seen since his parents' divorce nine years ago. Rich with the sensory details of life in Tokyo and the complexities of a boy finding his way.

(3) YA Just after suffering a huge blow to her confidence, West is given the standard one month to find and kill her Alt, her genetic double, to prove that she's the better version. Before the month passes, West must prove to herself that she deserves to survive. There's action and romance aplenty, but West's journey of self-discovery is the real compelling narrative.
