Body and Soul (Ghost and the Goth) - Stacey Kade
Release Date: May 1, 2012
From Goodreads: The Ghost
I’ve been trapped in the body of Lily “Ally” Turner for a month now. Talk about a fashion crisis on an epic scale. What worries me more, though, is sometimes I catch Will looking at me like he thinks I’m Lily...or that he wishes I were. Without the good looks of my former self, I don’t know who I am, or if who that is is good enough. I need out of this mess. Now.
Will and I have been looking for a solution, one that would separate me from Lily without killing her. But it’s not going well. Then, when it seems like things couldn’t get any worse, we run into Misty, my former best friend and boyfriend-stealer extraordinaire, who claims she’s being haunted...by me. Seriously?
I’m determined to get to the bottom of who’s pretending to be the spirit of Alona Dare (while I’m pretending to be someone else) and then get the heck out of this body. Or die trying...
The Goth
I’ll admit it. It’s really weird to look at Alona but see Lily. I do know the difference, though, contrary to what Alona might be saying. And Alona is more than a pretty face to me, not that she would believe that.
Our one lead for some help in this messed up situation might be a page torn from the yellow pages-—the “Psychics” section-—I found in my dad’s stuff. One of the “fakes” seems a bit more real-—and odd-—than the others. Before I can investigate further, though, Alona is off and chasing a ghost that’s probably nothing more than a figment of Misty’s guilty imagination. Now Lily’s family is freaking out because she didn’t come home, my mom is ordering me to stay out of it, and something is definitely wrong with the person formerly known as Lily “Ally” Turner.

The Unbearable Book Club for Unsinkable Girls - Julie Schumaker
Release Date: May 8, 2012
From Goodreads: I'm Adrienne Haus, survivor of a mother-daughter book club.
Most of us didn't want to join. My mother signed me up because I was stuck at
home all summer, with my knee in a brace. CeeCee's parents forced her to join
after cancelling her Paris trip because she bashed up their car. The members of

going into eleventh grade A.P. English. But we weren't friends. We were literary
prisoners, sweating, reading classics, and hanging out at the pool. If you want
to find out how membership in a book club can end up with a person being dead,
you can probably look us up under mother-daughter literary
catastrophe. Or open this book and read my essay, which I'll turn
in when I go back to school.
