At least a dozen new Young Adult book titles have been released today, Tuesday, March 12, 2013.
One such is Poison by Bridget Zinn, a woman who passed in 2011 from colon cancer. Her debut novel has been published by Hyperion posthumously, and fellow authors across the YA community are teaming up together to celebrate Zinn's work. At the Poison Tumblr, for instance, writers have been submitting short stories about their own personal "poison." Inara Scott, meanwhile, has today launched a full-on book tour in support of Poison, Zinn and her husband Barrett Darrow.

Smith, Strands of Bronze and Gold by Jane Nickerson, Scowler by Daniel Kraus, Promises to Keep by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, Panic and Sharon M. Draper, Fat Angie by e.E. Charlton-Trujillo, Escape Theory by Margaux Froley, Deep Betrayal by Anne Greenwood Brown, Code: A Virals Novel by Kathy Reichs and Brendan Reichs, Heart of Glass by Sasha Gould and Starstruck by Rachel Shukert.

![ Fat Angie by e.E. Charlton-TrujilloAngie is broken — by her can’t-be-bothered mother, by her high-school tormenters, and by being the only one who thinks her varsity-athlete-turned-war-hero sister is still alive. Hiding under a mountain of junk food hasn’t kept the pain (or the shouts of "crazy mad cow!") away. Having failed to kill herself — in front of a gym full of kids — she’s back at high school just trying to make it through each day. That is, until the arrival of KC Romance, the kind of girl who doesn’t exist in Dryfalls, Ohio. A girl who is one hundred and ninety-nine percent wow! A girl who never sees her as Fat Angie, and who knows too well that the package doesn’t always match what’s inside. With an offbeat sensibility, mean girls to rival a horror classic, and characters both outrageous and touching, this darkly comic anti-romantic romance will appeal to anyone who likes entertaining and meaningful fiction.](http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/profile_large/hash/50/c2/1363133354_4214_Book8.jpg?itok=90EcbqZX " Fat Angie by e.E.
