A Whole New World – Liz Braswell
goodreads
Release Date: September 1

Welcome to a new YA series that reimagines classic Disney stories in surprising new ways. Each book asks the question: What if one key moment from a familiar Disney film was changed? This dark and daring version of Aladdin twists the original story with the question: What if Jafar was the first one to summon the Genie?

When Jafar steals the Genie’s lamp, he uses his first two wishes to become sultan and the most powerful sorcerer in the world. Agrabah lives in fear, waiting for his third and final wish.To stop the power-mad ruler, Aladdin and the deposed Princess Jasmine must unite the people of Agrabah in rebellion. But soon their fight for freedom threatens to tear the kingdom apart in a costly civil war.

What happens next? A Street Rat becomes a leader. A princess becomes a revolutionary. And readers will never look at the story of Aladdin in the same way again.

I'm really looking forward to this one, because Aladdin is one of my absolute favorite Disney movies, and I think that this could be something great. However, I have heard mixed reviews about it, so I am proceeding with caution. But I will decide what I think about it when I get the book in my hands :) 

Vengeance Road – Erin Bowman 
goodreads
Release Date: September 1  

When Kate Thompson’s father is killed by the notorious Rose Riders for a mysterious journal that reveals the secret location of a gold mine, the eighteen-year-old disguises herself as a boy and takes to the gritty plains looking for answers and justice. What she finds are devious strangers, dust storms, and a pair of brothers who refuse to quit riding in her shadow. But as Kate gets closer to the secrets about her family, she gets closer to the truth about herself and must decide if there's room for love in a heart so full of hate.

In the spirit of True Grit, the cutthroat days of the Wild West come to life for a new generation.

I'm usually not a huge fan of westerns, in movies or books, but I have been hearing so much about Vengeance Road lately, that I have to see what all the fuss is about. It actually looks really amazing, and the COVER is incredible, so I am excited to see what this one brings.
