Rebel: The Graphic Novel by Marie Lu, Kyla Vanderklugt and Kaari (Roaring Brook Press) - YA graphic novel, description not yet updated on Goodreads.
Eden Wing is a brilliant student. He’s about to graduate a year early from Ross University of the Sciences. But most people don’t introduce Eden this way. Instead, they say, “This is Eden, Daniel Wing’s younger brother.”
Ten years ago, Daniel was known as Day, the boy who led a revolution that saved the Republic of America. Day has since spent the past decade piecing together his memory of his time in the Republic, quietly hiding from the world—even if it’s meant giving up June, the love of his life.
When June suddenly steps back into Day’s life, rekindling the flames of their romance, the pair team up to rescue Eden who’s been drawn into Ross City’s dark side. But like the rest of the world, they may have underestimated Eden—what he’s capable of, where his loyalties lie, and how hard he’s willing to fight for what he believes.
Return to the world of Legend in this epic graphic novel adaptation of the pulse-pounding finale to the series, which brings to life the bestselling Rebel with full-color illustrations.
If I Can't Have You by Aden Polydoros (Page Street) - moved from February 2026.
When heartbroken seventeen-year-old Kristi scores the season’s hottest romance simulator, the Love Interest 3000, she doesn’t expect the perfect boyfriend to become the perfect nightmare.
Reeling from a recent breakup, Kristi decides to take the plunge into virtual reality after her friend, Helen, convinces her to buy a bootlegged version of the device from Jamie, the school outcast.
At first, her VoyfriendTM, Rowan, is a balm to her post-breakup loneliness: kind, attentive, knows how to say all the right things. But things take a tragic turn when Helen dies in a grisly accident involving her own edition of the machine. In a fit of grief and rage, Kristi destroys her LI 3000, ready to move on and live in the real world. But Rowan isn’t willing to let her go, and soon begins appearing in her life―leaving her menacing messages and hacking video screens.
Then Kristi learns that Helen isn’t the only one who died in a so-called “accident” with the bootlegged machines. If she doesn’t find out who is causing the murders―and why―then her own life, the lives of those she cares about, are forfeit.

Blood of Silver by Allie Nguyen (Margaret K. McElderry Books)
Spirited Away meets One Dark Window, in which a Vietnamese teen from London gets thrust into a magical realm where she must learn to wield a rare magic and uncover dark secrets about her deceased mother's royal past.
Linh's mother was just buried this morning, but the guests are already clinking glasses. At the funeral organised by her indifferent father, Linh is visited by a strange boy who hints at secrets about her mother's past and urges her to follow.
Desperate to learn more about Mum and intrigued by this boy who stirs vague memories from her childhood, Linh is thrust into another world—Ebrirene, a realm governed by six ancient magics: light, fire, earth, water, nature, and space—where the mysterious boy, Elior, happens to be Crown Prince. Here, Linh learns that her mother was a space mage and princess who defended the kingdom from a demonic onslaught by sealing the portal they came through. Now, with the seal weakening, the Crown believes Linh possesses the same space magic that can prevent the portal from reopening.
Linh agrees to train with Elior to uncover secrets about her mother's past and eventually return home. But as her power grows, so too does her suspicion. Caught in a web of court intrigue and a dangerous attraction to the prince, Linh discovers much darker betrayals that forced her mother to flee from this world. Now Linh must decide: help seal the portal and return to her sad but safe existence in London or reclaim her mother's legacy to the throne and risk an all-out war.

When Shadows Burn by Vanessa Le (Roaring Brook Press) - description not yet updated on Goodreads.
Vanessa Le's new fantasy duology starter follows a demon-hunting duo in an exorcist university layered with magic, murder, and corruption — perfect for fans of BABEL and DIVINE RIVALS.
In Yennington, exorcism is a job for two: a demon caller, and a demon slayer. Kiet Sren is a hotshot caller despite dropping out of the esteemed Phenbridge University; his blood attracts any demon. Song Sarna is the top slayer of her class; her blade and wit kills any demon. Together, they run Inkspill Agency.
When one day Kiet's estranged family hires them to hunt an aberrant demon, they are propelled into the most dangerous job of their lives — an investigation that could uncover the workings of a deadly group seeking to destroy the university from the inside out.
But as their investigation dredges up long-buried history, they discover that the one behind this criminal group is closer to home than they realized, and that perhaps the upstanding Phenbridge University is hiding secrets of its own. To exorcize the aberrant demon and put an end to the deadly possessions, Kiet and Song must decide how much they're willing to bleed: for their families, for their city — and for each other.
Vanessa Le's latest crossover fantasy combines dark academia with a propulsive detective tale at its finest — with a slow-burn romance and medical magic system as intricate as lab work.
