What's New On Hoopla for December?

 Here are some of the great new books now available on Hoopla Digital for you to borrow in December:

The Girl Who Wasn't There by Penny Joelson: Kasia is a watcher. Watching is all she can really do, since her illness keeps her from leaving her home most of the time. Unfortunately for Kasia, this means she is usually bored, since nothing really happens on her quiet little street. That is, until the day Kasia witnesses what she believes is a kidnapping. A kidnaping that is also witnessed by another girl Kasia sees watching from a window across the street from her own. But, when Kasia sets out to find the other witness, so they can both report what they have seen and potentially save a kidnap victim, things get even stranger, because the girl Kasia saw in the window, doesn't seem to exist at all. 

The Liar's Guide to the Night Sky by Brianna R. Shrum: Hallie is NOT happy that her parents are making her move during the last semester of her Senior year. She's ESPECIALLY not happy that they've moved her to Colorado, all the way across the country from all her friends in Massachusetts. It couldn't possibly get any worse... and the it does. When on a family camping trip in the freezing Colorado wilderness Hallie and her family fall victim to an avalanche, and with people in desperate need of medical care, Hallie decides to brave the extreme environment in order to try to help them survive. 

This Splintered Silence by Kayla Olson: Lindley is a new kind of pioneer. She is a crew member on Space Station Luca, daughter of the Captain and one of the first of a new generation born in space. Then comes the horrible day when a virus breaks out, killing just about every first-generation crew member, and leaving teenage Lindley in charge of a broken station, quickly running out of food and unable to contact Earth for assistance. This seems terrible enough, until the day one of Lindley's fellow second generation crew members develops symptoms that look terrifyingly similar to the disease that wiped out their parents. But is disease really what's happening here? Or is one the crew secretly a murderer?
