c.j.'s selections                         ten ten ten
one		Allegedly - Tiffany D. Jackson  Girl is complicit in her mother's killing of a baby in her care.  Allegedly.  So many authors I love have raved about this, including Kathleen Glasgow, author of Girl in Pieces.
two		Heartstone - Elle Katherine White  Jane Austen meets dragon fantasy world.  You sold yet?
three		Dark Breaks the Dawn - Sara B. Larson  A battle between light and dark magic depends on a crown princess and her newfound power to shapeshift.  It seems relatively standard fantasy, but I'm always up for some magic.
four		Shimmer And Burn - Mary Taranta  A magical girl's sister is sold into slavery.  A power-hungry princess wants her father's throne.  A traveling magician is their guide into a frightening land where magic can be stolen.  The blurb is complicated; I'm hoping for something twisty and brutal.
five		The Last Magician - Lisa Maxwell  A magical barrier traps people on the island of New York.  A thief of time can save them if she finds a secret book--but she'll have to get past the magical gangs first.  I mean, come on.
six		American Street - Ibi Zoboi  Fabiola's mother is detained on the trip from Haiti, leaving Fabiola with her unknown cousins in the strange, new land of Detroit.  Can't beat comparisons to Everything, Everything.
seven		Dear Martin - Nic Stone  Justyce is a debate whiz and prep school hero, but all that crumbles when he and his friend run the wrong side of a white cop.  With all the crap going down with American police shooting unarmed black men, this book is so very needed.
eight		Dreamland Burning - Jennifer Latham  Rowan finds a skeleton on her family's property.   A century earlier, Will is embroiled in the turmoil of Tulsa's race riots.  Dual perspectives, super relevant history, gimme.
nine		Empress of a Thousand Skies - Rhoda Belleza  An empress and a refugee-turned-reality-TV-star combine forces to save the galaxy from a dangerous madman.  Yes, please.
ten		The Book Jumper - Mechthild Glaser  Amy can jump into books and live in their worlds.  When she finds out that people are stealing from the books, she and a fellow bookjumper are on the case.  I mean, book nerd's dream or what?

Your turn!  What historicals do you love?
Making this list reminds me that I don't really know historical YA set outside of the West.  More knowledgeable readers, please help?
