HERE IS A THING EVERYONE WANTS: **A MIRACLE.** HERE IS A THING EVERYONE FEARS: **WHAT IT TAKES TO GET ONE.** Any visitor to Bicho Raro, Colorado, is likely to find a landscape of dark saints, forbidden love, scientific dreams, miracle-mad owls, estranged affections, one or two orphans, and a sky full of watchful desert stars. At the heart of this place you will find the Soria family, who all have the ability to perform unusual miracles. And at the heart of this family are three cousins longing to change its future: Beatriz, the girl without feelings, who wants only to be free to examine her thoughts; Daniel, the Saint of Bicho Raro, who performs miracles for everyone but himself; and Joaquin, who spends his nights running a renegade radio station under the name Diablo Diablo. They are all looking for a miracle. But the miracles of Bicho Raro area never quite what you expect. Maggie Stiefvater has been called "a master storyteller" by *USA Today* and "wildly imaginative" by *Entertainment Weekly*. Now, with *All the Crooked Saints*, she gives us the extraordinary story of an extraordinary family--a masterful tale of love, fear, darkness, and redemption. This description comes from the publisher.

The Anatomy of Curiosity (The Curiosities Series, Book 2)
Authorship, American fiction, Young adult fiction
In an unassuming corner of Brooklyn, a young woman learns to be ladylike, to love context, and to speak her mind from a very curious sort of tutor. In a faraway land convulsed by war, a young soldier hears the desert's curious hum as he disarms bombs with the person he doesn't know how to love. In a place so shriveled by drought that any drowning is a curiosity, a young writer tries again and again to tread water beneath the surface of a vast and unusual sea. Three new stories--complete with commentary on the creative process--from three acclaimed young adult authors working at the height of their powers. Author Biography, Author's Note.

The Raven Boys
Children's fiction, Magic, fiction, Extrasensory perception, fiction
Though she is from a family of clairvoyants, Blue Sargent's only gift seems to be that she makes other people's talents stronger. When she meets Gansey, one of the boys from the expensive Aglionby Academy, she discovers that he has talents of his own--and that together their talents are a dangerous mix. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as "raven boys", they can only mean trouble. For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the raven boys, she's not so sure anymore.
