FINISHED:
Hale, Nathan. (2017). One Trick Pony. New York: Amulet/Abrams.

[This was a GREAT ONE!  Set in a future where the world has been decimated by a race of invading aliens, 3 young people are out exploring a cave, looking for any old technological items they can find.  They are part of a caravan of folks who are conservators of some of the last known remains of human civilization (books, films, technology, etc.).  The young explorers come across a treasure trove of forgotten tech, including a robot horse that bonds with the girl of the group.  Unfortunately, their waking up the long-buried tech alerts the Pipers (bubble-blowing aliens who eat technology... and humans).]

STARTED:
Konigsberg, Bill. (2017). Honestly Ben. New York: Arthur A. Levine/Scholastic.

[Jamaican Natasha and Korean American Daniel spend the day wandering around New York determining that they are meant to be together.  Drawn together while each focused on a potentially life-changing task (he has an interview with a Yale graduate, she is hoping to prevent her family from being deported back to Jamaica that evening), the two, through alternating chapters in each of their voices, examine the links between life and love, and coincidence and fate.]
