Tens of thousands of species are going extinct every year. And a whole industry has sprung up around their extinctions\, to help us preserve the remnants\, or perhaps just assuage our guilt. For instance\, the biobanks: secure archives of DNA samples\, from which lost organisms might someday be resurrected . . . But then\, one day\, it’s all gone. A mysterious cyber-attack hits every biobank simultaneously\, wiping out the last traces of the perished species. Now we’re never getting them back. \nKarin Resaint and Mark Halyard are concerned with one species in particular: the venomous lumpsucker\, a small\, ugly bottom-feeder that happens to be the most intelligent fish on the planet. Resaint is an animal cognition scientist consumed with existential grief over what humans have done to nature. Halyard is an exec from the extinction industry\, complicit in the mining operation that destroyed the lumpsucker’s last-known habitat. \nAcross the dystopian landscapes of the 2030s–a nature reserve full of toxic waste; a floating city on the ocean; the hinterlands of a totalitarian state–Resaint and Halyard hunt for a surviving lumpsucker. And the further they go\, the deeper they’re drawn into the mystery of the attack on the biobanks. Who was really behind it? And why would anyone do such a thing? \nVirtuosic and profound\, witty and despairing\, Venomous Lumpsucker is Ned Beauman at his very best.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: YA Discussion with Liz Lawson\, Kathleen Glasglow\, E. Lockhart\, & Jessica Goodman
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual event and will take place on Crowdcast. Register for FREE ahead of time to save your spot and get an email reminder! Visit vromansbookstore.com to purchase your copy of the book(s) from Vroman’s. \nCROWDCAST REGISTRATION LINK:  https://www.crowdcast.io/e/lawson-glasgow \nYA Panel discussion featuring Liz Lawson\, Kathleen Glasgow\, E. Lockhart\, and Jessica Goodman\, in support of their latest releases\, The Agathas\, Family of Liars\, and The Counselors. \nFamily of Liars: A windswept private island off the coast of Massachusetts. A hungry ocean\, churning with secrets and sorrow. A fiery\, addicted heiress. An irresistible\, unpredictable boy. A summer of unforgivable betrayal and terrible mistakes. Welcome back to the Sinclair family. They were always liars. \nThe Agathas: Last summer\, Alice Ogilvie’s basketball-star boyfriend Steve dumped her. Then she disappeared for five days. She’s not talking\, so where she went and what happened to her is the biggest mystery in Castle Cove. Or it was\, at least. But now\, another one of Steve’s girlfriends has vanished: Brooke Donovan\, Alice’s ex-best friend. And it doesn’t look like Brooke will be coming back. . . \nEnter Iris Adams\, Alice’s tutor. Iris has her own reasons for wanting to disappear\, though unlike Alice\, she doesn’t have the money or the means. That could be changed by the hefty reward Brooke’s grandmother is offering to anyone who can share information about her granddaughter’s whereabouts. The police are convinced Steve is the culprit\, but Alice isn’t so sure\, and with Iris on her side\, she just might be able to prove her theory. \nIn order to get the reward and prove Steve’s innocence\, they need to figure out who killed Brooke Donovan. And luckily Alice has exactly what they need–the complete works of Agatha Christie. If there’s anyone that can teach the girls how to solve a mystery it’s the master herself. But the town of Castle Cove holds many secrets\, and Alice and Iris have no idea how much danger they’re about to walk into. \nThe Counselors: Camp Alpine Lake is the only place where Goldie Easton feels safe. \nShe’s always had a special connection to the place\, even before she was old enough to attend. The camp is the lifeline of Roxwood\, the small town she lives in. Alpine Lake provides jobs\, money and prestige to the region. Few Roxwood locals\, though\, get to reap the rewards of living so close to the glam summer that camp\, with its five-figure tuition and rich kids who have been dumped there for eight weeks by their powerful parents. Goldie’s one of them. \nEven with her townie background\, Goldie has never felt more at home at camp and now she’s back as a counselor\, desperate for summer to start and her best friends\, Ava and Imogen\, to arrive. Because Goldie has a terrible dark secret she’s been keeping and she is more in need of the comfort than ever. \nBut Goldie’s not the only person at camp who has been lying. When a teen turns up dead in the lake late one night\, she knows that the death couldn’t have been an accident. She also knows that Ava was at the lake that same night. \nWhat did Ava see and what does she know? Why hasn’t she said anything to Goldie about the death? Worse–what did Ava do? \nBut asking questions offers no answers\, only broken bonds of lifelong friendship\, with hidden danger and betrayals deeper than Goldie ever imagined.
