Saying Goodbye to Warsaw by Michael
Cargill
"Like any girl who is loved by her family, Abigail
Nussbaum loves to chase butterflies, enjoys lying on her back looking for
shapes in the clouds, and happily teaches young children to make daisy chains.
In the eyes of certain people, however, Abigail has committed a heinous crime. The year is 1940; the place is Poland; Abigail happens to be Jewish.
Along with half a million other Jews, Abigail and her family are evicted from their home and forced to live in the bombed out ruins of Warsaw, the Polish capital.
Although a handful decide to fight back, is the uprising strong enough to save Abigail’s spirit?" Goodreads.com

Midnight City By J. Barton Mitchell
"Lord of the Flies meets War of the Worlds in J. Barton Mitchell's alien-invaded post-apocalyptic world where two teens and a young girl with amazing powers must stop the aliens’ mysterious plan Earth has been conquered by an alien race known as the Assembly. The human adult population is gone, having succumbed to the Tone---a powerful, telepathic super-signal broadcast across the planet that reduces them to a state of complete subservience. But the Tone has one critical flaw. It only affects the population once they reach their early twenties, which means that there is one group left to resist: Children.
Holt Hawkins is a bounty hunter, and his current target is Mira Toombs, an infamous treasure seeker with a price on her head. It’s not long before Holt bags his prey, but their instant connection isn’t something he bargained for. Neither is the Assembly ship that crash-lands near them shortly after. Venturing inside, Holt finds a young girl who remembers nothing except her name: Zoey.
As the three make their way to the cavernous metropolis of Midnight City, they encounter young freedom fighters, mutants, otherworldly artifacts, pirates, feuding alien armies, and the amazing powers that Zoey is beginning to exhibit. Powers that suggest she, as impossible as it seems, may just be the key to stopping the Assembly once and for all.
Midnight City is the breathtaking first book of the Conquered Earth series."
Noah's Rainy Day by Sandra Brannan
"Newly minted Special Agent Liv Bergen races
against time to solve a child kidnapping--which could take a fatal
turn--with the help of her gifted nephew Noah. From birth, Noah
Hogarty has lived with severe cerebral palsy. He is nearly blind, unable
to speak, and cannot run, walk, or crawl. Yet his mind works just as
well as any other twelve-year-old's--maybe even better. And Noah holds a
secret dream: to become a great spy, following in the footsteps of his
aunt, Liv ''Boots'' Bergen. Now, freshly returned from training
at Quantico, FBI agent Liv Bergen is thrown into her first professional
case. Working side by side with veteran agent Streeter Pierce, enigmatic
agent and lover Jack Linwood, and her bloodhound Beulah, Liv must race
to find five-year-old Max--last seen at the Denver International
Airport--before this Christmastime abduction turns deadly. Meanwhile
Noah, housebound, becomes wrapped up in identifying the young face he
sees watching him from his neighbor's bedroom window, but he can neither
describe nor inscribe what he knows.
And his investigation may lead to Noah paying the ultimate price in fulfilling his dream.
Noah's Rainy Day (the fourth novel in Brannan's mystery series) combines classic Liv Bergen irreverence and brainpower with an unflinching look at the darkest of human motivations, all while a whirlpool of increasingly terrifying events threatens to engulf Liv and Noah both in one final rainy day."
"Alma Harper has been trying to forget what happened in Widowsfield 16 years ago. She has a good life as a music teacher now, and might rekindle her relationship with her one true love. However, the number 314 haunts her, and threatens to bring her back to the day that her brother disappeared. When a reporter shows up, just days before March 14th, Alma realizes that her past is coming back to haunt her. What happened on March 14th, at 3:14, 16 years ago? No one but The Skeleton Man can remember."
"The world is changing: the government has seized control of every aspect
of society, and now, kids are disappearing. For 15-year-old Wisty and
her older brother Whit, life turns upside down when they are torn from
their parents one night and slammed into a secret prison for no reason
they can comprehend. The New Order, as it is known, is clearly trying to
suppress Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Being a Normal Teenager. But
while trapped in this totalitarian nightmare, Wisty and Whit discover
they have incredible powers they'd never dreamed of. Can this newly
minted witch and wizard master their skills in time to save themselves,
their parents--and maybe the world?"
"When Whit & Wisty were imprisoned by the wicked forces of the totalitarian regime known as the New Order, they were barely able to escape with their lives. Now part of a hidden community of teens like themselves, Whit and Wisty have established themselves as leaders of the Resistance, willing to sacrifice anything to save kids kidnapped and brutally imprisoned by the New Order.
But the One has other plans in store for them: He needs Wisty, for she is "The One Who Has the Gift." While trying to figure out what that means, Whit and Wisty's suspenseful adventures through Overworld and Shadowland lead to a jaw-dropping climax and conclusion: the highly-anticipated fulfillment of the heart-pounding opening prologue of book one... The Execution of the Allgoods."
And his investigation may lead to Noah paying the ultimate price in fulfilling his dream.
