real. . . . It warns him of danger.One day Zak is standing on the subway platform when the tunnel starts to fill with water. He sees it before anyone else. The voice warns him to run. His friends Moira and Khalid believe this is more than a premonition, and soon all three find themselves in an alternate universe that is both familiar and seriously strange. As Zak unravels the mystery behind the voice, he faces decisions that may mean the end of their world at home—if they can even get home!

100 Days by Nichole McInnes
Agnes doesn't know it, but she only has one hundred days left
to live. When she was just a baby, she was diagnosed with Progeria, a
rare disease that causes her body to age at roughly ten times the normal
rate. Now nearly sixteen years old, Agnes has already exceeded her life
expectancy.
Moira has been Agnes’s best friend and
protector since they were in elementary school. Due to her disorder,
Agnes is still physically small, but Moira is big. Too big for her own
liking. So big that people call her names. With her goth makeup and
all-black clothes, Moira acts like she doesn’t care. But she does.
Boone
was friends with both girls in the past, but that was a long time
ago—before he did the thing that turned Agnes and Moira against him,
before his dad died, before his mom got too sad to leave the house.
An
unexpected event brings Agnes and Moira back together with Boone, but
when romantic feelings start to develop, the trio’s friendship is put to
the test. Ages 12-18
