Guibord, Maurissa

YA
After seventeen-year-old Delia's mother dies, she ditches foster care to find her way to Trespass Island, where she discovers her supernaturally aquatic roots among demigods and sea creatures. Though certain plot points feel familiar--the love triangle smacks of Twilight--the coastal Maine setting evokes a true sense of place, and the world Guibord builds is both convincing and compelling.

YA
When modern-day teenager Tessa pulls a loose thread from an old tapestry, a handsome, imperious young man, Will, appears. He hails from sixteenth-century England, where a witch had trapped him in the tapestry as a unicorn so she could steal his vitality. Charismatic heroine Tessa's story is suspenseful, romantic, and very funny. In true fairy-tale fashion, there's also a happy ending.
