Take a look at some of the books that we recently added to the Young Adult collection. We’ve added over a hundred new books in the last month, so there are plenty to choose from. If you need help finding them ask a Librarian and we can help you get a copy for yourself.

1. “Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman”

From many of the top names at DC Comics comes a collection of tales about the Pride of Themyscira herself, the indomitable Wonder Woman. Here we see her in stand alone adventures that take her from Gotham to the edges of time and space. Important Malden trivia here: William Moulton Marston, the creator of Wonder Woman went to Malden High School, he might have dreamed up the idea for her while reading a book in our library.

2. “Another Day” by David Levithan

In this companion book to the author’s bestselling book “Every Day” we get to read the story from the point of view of Rhiannon. This book is for fans of the author’s previous work and who were left wanting more from the award-winning story about identity, relationships, and love.

3. “Rebel Mechanics” by Shanna Swendson

Discover an alternate version of New York in 1888 where the British still rule the ‘colonies’ with the might of magic. This is where sixteen-year-old Verity Newton finds herself, in a world where rebellious Engineers and Mechanics hope to escape from under British rule by creating giant steam constructs. For those looking for historical Steampunk-light novels this is a must read.

4. “Deadpool: Dead Presidents” by Brian Posehn

Join Deadpool in his new series of adventures as he teams up with Thor, Dr. Strange and S.H.I.E.L.D. to take down giant rampaging monsters, an evil elephant and resurrected U.S. Presidents.  Veteran comedian Brian Posehn takes us through the dark, twisted and hilarious world that surrounds the ‘Merc with a Mouth’ in the start of a string of new “Marvel Now!” adventures.
