Dust by Dusti Bowling

Avalyn feels like she is always fighting a battle, a battle with her own lungs. She has asthma. Really bad asthma. So, when she almost died at the age of two, her parents moved her to the town of Clear Canyon City in Arizona. A place where there were virtually no allergens, just the occasional dust storm.

But things are changing, regarding those dust storms. Avalyn has noticed that ever since a new boy named Adam has moved to town, dust storms, BIG dust storms are happening....a lot! And it is getting to the point where Avalyn is struggling to breath!

Unfriended by Rachel Vail

Truly was excited that her old best friend, Natasha, had invited her to the Popular Table at lunch. Honestly, she thought that Natasha had completely forgotten about her. But what Truly doesn’t realize is that as she leaves her current best friend, Hazel, behind, that things will not be the same after accepting that invitation.

Aisle Nine by Ian X. Cho

Life has not been great since portals directly from Hell opened up about 2 years ago. Most people have just accepted this is how life is now - you might get killed by a demon, but if you just try to avoid the portals, you should be okay. Still, the portals are like, everywhere, including some stores. Like the store where Jasper works. Jasper had an accident a few months ago and can't remember much that happened before then. He knows his parents were killed 2 years ago, when the portals first opened, but really, nothing else. When the portal that is in his store starts acting up, Jasper and a coworker find themselves at ground zero, and not in a good way.
