I found a few new book releases for Young Adult Fiction and I thought I would share. If anyone knows of anyothers, please share. The release dates are from Barnes and Noble and are good in the United States. I'm not sure if these dates apply to the UK or not, but if someone has information to add, please feel free to do so. Thanks!

The Mistmantle Chronicles Book 1: Urchin of the Riding Stars
by M. I. McAllister
Release Date: August 9, 2005
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Like Redwall for a new generation, The Mistmantle Chronicles is a thrilling new fantasy trilogy for ages eight and up. Book One: Urchin of the Riding Stars is an epic story of treachery and revenge set on the island of Mistmantle, a magical world of squirrels, otters, and moles.
On a night when the sky is alive with shooting stars, a baby squirrel is found abandoned on a distant beach. Adopted by a kindly squirrel, Urchin is raised by the animals of Mistmantle, all the while unaware of his powerful destiny and the role he will play in the island's future. Mistmantle has always been a free society, but under the new influence of the villainous squirrel captain Husk, the king has enacted dreadful new laws and made slaves of those who were once his loyal subjects. When Urchin's hero, Captain Crispin, is framed for a terrible murder and banished from the island, Urchin has a special role to play. With only his wits and a few friends to guide him, Urchin sets out to restore justice and bring back peace and freedom to Mistmantle.
Beautifully written, with gorgeous line drawings throughout, Urchin of the Riding Stars is a tale of high adventure, fantasy, and suspense that is sure to become a modern classic.
M.I. McAllister is the author of several young adult novels, including The Octave of Angels. She is married to a vicar and lives with her family in Yorkshire, England.
