MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–This fall marks the fifth anniversary of young adult imprint Carolrhoda
Lab™
, an imprint of Carolrhoda Books, a division of Lerner
Publishing Group
. Called “one of the granddaddies of the YA-only
field” by Publishers
Weekly
, Carolrhoda
Lab
is dedicated to distinctive, provocative, boundary-pushing
fiction for teens and their sympathizers.

“The first five years of Carolrhoda
Lab
have been successful and exciting with 37 starred reviews, a
Boston Globe-Horn Book
award winner, William C. Morris YA Debut
Award finalists and winner, a Coretta Scott King Author Honor book, a Kirkus
Prize finalist, a Los Angeles Times Book Prize finalist, and
best books of the year accolades from major review journals,” said
Adam Lerner, CEO and publisher of Lerner Publishing Group. “We’re proud
of these accomplishments, and we have exciting new books and plans on
the horizon with our new editorial director, Alix Reid.”

Reid comes to Carolrhoda
Lab
with more than a decade of editorial experience. “Carolrhoda
Lab
is dedicated to publishing insightful, literary young adult
novels. I’m thrilled to be at the helm of this excellent imprint,” she
said.

Seven new titles will be released this fall from a diverse list of
authors including debut novelists and New York Times bestselling
authors:

Acclaimed authors Maggie
Stiefvater
, Tessa
Gratton
, and Brenna
Yovanoff
have each contributed an original novella to The
Anatomy of Curiosity
, a follow-up to the authors’ story
collection The
Curiosities
, and they provide commentary on their process of
critique and collaboration.

In Terry Farish’s Either
the Beginning or the End of the World
, Sofie, the daughter
of a Scottish-American fisherman and a Cambodian refugee, falls for
Luke, an Army medic back from Afghanistan. They both have their secrets,
ghosts, wars. Their love is forbidden…but can they find a way?

Bertucci, Olivia, and Codman spend the night before graduation locked
inside a condemned movie theater in Emily Franklin’s Last
Night at the Circle Cinema
. Before sunrise, they must face
the tragic events of the past year and examine what the future might
bring.

Set against the backdrop of one of the worst school tragedies in
American history, Ashley
Hope Pérez
’s Out
of Darkness
is a gripping novel about race, segregation,
love, and the forces that destroy people.

Being a biracial girl adopted by a white family didn’t used to bother
Alex. All that mattered was being her father’s baseball star―until that
status slips. Now she’s questioning her identity. Black or white―where
does she fit? Shannon Gibney’s debut, See
No Color
, follows a character who must face the question of
what it means to be black.

Rakmen’s baby sister died in his arms of a heart defect. Now his family
is broken, and he’s exiled to a wilderness trip while his parents
“figure things out.” Amber
J. Keyser
’s The
Way Back from Broken
is a wrenching story of adversity and
hope.

James is obsessed with whales. Darren is struggling to succeed in the
movie business. A
52-Hertz Whale
, co-authored by Bill Sommer and Natalie Haney
Tilghman, is written as a series of emails and explores a rich tapestry
of human loneliness. Funny, illuminating, and heartbreaking, this is a
debut to watch.

retailers, wholesalers, and distributors, or order direct by calling
