THE TWIN
When Ivy and Iris' parents
divorced, each parent got
custody of one twin. But after a
tragic accident takes their
mom's life, Iris moves in with
Ivy and their dad.
Iris barely talks, spending hours
alone. Ivy can't stand to see Iris
so sad, so she promises Iris that
she can share her life now. After
all, they're sisters; twins even.
And before long, Ivy's friends,
teachers, and even her
boyfriend begin to fall under
Iris's spell. Soon Ivy begins to
think there's something wrong
with her twin. It's almost like
Iris is out to get her... but Ivy
tells herself she's being
paranoid. It's not like she's in
any danger from her twin...

ANGEL MAGE
More than a century has passed
since Liliath crept into the
empty sarcophagus of Saint
Marguerite, fleeing the Fall of
Ystara.
But she emerges from her
magical sleep still beautiful,
looking no more than nineteen,
and once again renews her
single-minded quest to be
united with her lover, Palleniel
the archangel of Ystara.
A seemingly impossible quest,
but Liliath is one of the greatest
practitioners of angelic magic
to have ever lived, summoning
angels and forcing them to do
her bidding.
PTSD
After returning home from an
unpopular war, Jun becomes an
outsider in an indifferent world.
Alone, desperate, and suffering
from wounds both mental and
physical, she seeks relief in the
illicit drugs she manages to
purchase or steal.
Jun’s tough exterior served her
well in combat, but she’ll need to
nurture her vulnerability and
humanity to survive at home.
With the support of her fellow
vets, the kindness of a stranger
who refuses to turn away, and the
companionship of a dog named
Red, Jun learns to navigate the
psychological trauma that she
experienced in the war.

PUMPKIN HEADS
Deja and Josiah are seasonal
best friends.
Every autumn, all through
high school, they’ve worked
together at the best pumpkin

best pumpkin patch in the
Nebraska, but it definitely is.)
They say good-bye every
Halloween, and they’re
reunited every September 1st.

YOU ASKED FOR
PERFECT
Ariel Stone has spent his life
cultivating the perfect college
résumé: violinist, volunteer, and
expected valedictorian. He
barely has time to think about a
social life, let alone a
relationship… until a failed
calculus quiz forces Ariel to
enlist his classmate Amir, as his
tutor.
Ariel discovers he may not like
calculus, but he does like Amir.
But college deadlines are
looming, and adding a budding
romance to his list of commit-
ments may just push Ariel past
his limit.
In a time where academic
pressure on teens couldn’t be
higher, You Asked for Perfect is
the perfect story for anyone
who has ever questioned the
price of perfection.

A Message from Ms. Smith
I am in the process of purchasing more audio and ebooks for easy
access outside of school through our library book catalog. With that said, I
am making a list of titles to order with a specific focus on those titles most
used by students in their classes. While I can't get everything this year due to
our budget and the great expense for each title, I am hoping to order a few at
a time. If you have a book that you would like either an audio version or an
ebook version to be available, please email me with your request and I will do
my best to ensure access.

The VT Holocaust
Memorial's Leaf Project
MISSION:
The Leaf Project is a call to action to learn lessons drawn from the Holocaust to
help us recognize prejudice, discrimination and stereotyping. By collecting 1 individualized
leaf at a time, this project enables us inspire tolerance and appreciation of diversity, courage
and heroism through interactive learning. The goal is to create and collect 1.5 million leaves,
one for each child who perished in the Holocaust. In this way, we connect to history and honor
lives lost. Vermont Holocaust Memorial will collect, count, mount and eventually display the
leaves in a collective exhibition.

WAYS YOU CAN GET INVOLVED:

Who can participate?? Anyone can join together to create beautiful leaves to help them
reach their goal. It’s a powerful way to engage groups in interactive learning. Use markers,
paint, stickers, glitter; Write messages of hope, love, in memory or in honor of someone.
All are unique, all are different - as are people.
Download stencils for leaves to decorate here, or make your own leaves to decorate. Use
any medium - cardboard, fabric, tissue, or paper (Note: size should not exceed 6”), or contact
VTHM to receive a PDF- donated by the Vermont Leaf Company- with a variety of leaves or
to request a packet of our pre-cut “leaves”.

WHERE TO MAIL:
Finally, gather all of your personalized leaves and send them to the below address:

Vermont Holocaust Memorial

P.O. Box 436
Jeffersonville, VT 05464
