One of Us is Back by Karen M. McManus
It’s been almost two years since Simon died in detention, and the aftermath has been hard to shake. First the Bayview Four had to prove they weren’t killers. Then a new generation outwitted a vengeful copycat. Now the entire Bayview Crew is back home for the summer, and everyone is trying to move on. Only, this is Bayview, and life is never that simple.
At first the mysterious billboard seems like a bad joke: Time for a new game, Bayview. But when a member of the Bayview Crew disappears, it’s clear this “game” is serious—and whoever’s in charge isn’t sharing the rules. Or maybe there aren’t any. Bronwyn. Cooper. Addy. Nate. Maeve. Phoebe. Knox. Luis. Kris. Everyone’s a target. And now that someone unexpected has returned to Bayview, things could start getting deadly. The thing is, Simon was right about secrets—they all come out eventually. And Bayview has a lot it’s still hiding.

Here are some quotes from library staff about the books in the newest list of recommended picks:
The Bone Houses by Emily Lloyd-Jones: “A gravedigger fights zombies in medieval Wales, what more could you want? While this book is chock full of adventure (and a little bit of romance), it does tackle a lot of hard-hitting topics like death, grief, and how to grapple with letting somebody into your heart knowing you’ll eventually lose them.”
