Ghostlines 
Inspired by the mystical and rugged Scottish Isles, Ghostlines takes place on the remote island of Ayrie, with only 98 habitants, one of them being Tilda. She is in love with the natural beauty of her surroundings, from the coves to the fairy pools, and has a tight-knit group of friends. When a new boy, Albie, arrives on the island, she is determined to show him how wonderful Ayrie can be, but nothing seems to inspire him or change his boredom. Can a forbidden, secret island off Ayrie, only reachable by boat (or sea kayak), change Albie's mind, or is Tilda's enthusiasm all for nothing? The book really feels authentically told from an excited, anxious 10-year-old girl's mind, while also showing the unexpected charm of the quiet corners of the world, like Ayrie. Her deepdown affliction with her brother, Rowan, is heartbreaking. I would definitely recommend this touching, magical book.

Wolf Siren
When you hear of Little Red Riding Hood, you may cast your mind to thoughts of evil wolves eating grandmothers. However, in this empowering edition of that fairytale, Red is mystified by the magical forest, prohibited to all villagers. After a shortlived visit from her grandmother, she discovers that the wolves aren't the enemies after all: the mayor and his control over the village are. It will be a struggle to prove the wolves' innocence while navigating her own problems and the stigma of the forest amongst the villagers. Along the way, she will find out many dangerous secrets. I sincerely recommend this for a sensitive and heartwarming read.
