Tween Hobo: Off the Rails by Alena Smith
Disillusioned with modern life and fed up with her parents (especially their lack of answers regarding the location of her older brother), Tween Hobo tosses her cell phone in a sparkly bindle and hops a train out of town. Her adventures are a combination of humor and fabulousness.

Paradigm by Ceri Lowe
The story of two teens. Alice is living in the direct aftermath of natural disasters that have decimated the world. She struggles with a small band of survivors to find a way to stay alive and make a life out of what remains. Carter is 87 years in the future. The society is established and on the verge of change. He is in the running to be the new Controller General. As he fights for the position, though, he learns that all may not be as it seems.
The back and forth between these two stories was kind of cool and it's hard to say who's story was more compelling. I liked that instead of being a straightforward dystopia, we see how the society ended up the way it is.

Ideally, The Body in the Woods by April Henry
I'm going to try to sneak this mystery thriller in before the 48 Hour Book Challenge on Friday. If not, my next book will be either Aritstotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz or Prodigy by Marie Lu
