Sure, we all love our Romeos and Juliets, our boys from the wrong side of the tracks meeting poor little rich girls, our fighting-like-cats-and-dogs-until-that-fateful-kiss couples. But romance isn’t the only thing that defines the teen years. Here are seven YAs with surprising, complicated pairings—that are entirely platonic.
Hammer of Witches
Baltasar Infante, a bookmaker’s apprentice living in 1492 Spain, can weasel out of
any problem with a good story. But when he awakes one night to find a monster straight
out of the stories peering at him through his window, he’s in trouble that even he can’t
talk his way out of. Soon Baltasar is captured by a mysterious arm of the Spanish
Inquisition, the Malleus Maleficarum, that demands he reveal the whereabouts of Amir
al-Katib, a legendary Moorish sorcerer who can bring myths and the creatures within
them to life. Baltasar doesn’t know where the man is—or that he himself has the power to
summon genies and golems.
Baltasar must escape, find al-Katib, and defeat a dreadful power that may destroy the
world. As Baltasar’s journey takes him into uncharted lands on Columbus’s voyage
westward, he learns that stories are more powerful than he once believed them to be—
and much more dangerous.
