Just Like Fate  

Authors: Cat Patrick & Suzanne Young

Release Date: August 27, 2013

Published by: Simon Pulse

Caroline is at a crissroads. Her grandmother is sick, maybe dying. Like the rest of her family, Caroline's been at Gram's bedside since her stroke. With the pressure building, all Caroline wants to do is escape--both her family and the reality of Gram's failing health. So when Caroline's best friend offers to take her to a party one fateful Friday night, she must choose: stay by Gram's side, or go to the party and live her life.
The consequence of this one decision will split Caroline's fate into two separate paths--and she's about to live them both.
Friendships are tested and family drama hits an all-new high as Caroline attempts to rebuild old relationships, and even make a few new ones. If she stays, her longtime crush, Joel, might finally notice her, but if she goes, Chris, the charming college boy, might prove to be everything she's ever wanted.
Though there are two distinct ways for her fate to unfold, there is only one happy ending...(Summary from Goodreads)

Do you know Sliding Doors the movie? This seems like the same concept. One choice, two different life paths, only one is going to end happily. Kind of a scary concept but I'm in for a good read.

The Lost Kingdom 

Author: Matthew J. Kirby

Release Date: August 27, 2013

Published by: Scholastic Press

Billy Bartram, his father, and a secret society of philosophers and scientists venture into the American wilderness in search of the lost people of the Welsh Prince Madoc, seeking aid in the coming war against the French. Traveling in a flying airship, the members of the expedition find their lives frequently endangered in the untamed American West by terrifying creatures, a party of French soldiers hot on their trail, and the constant threat of traitors and spies. Billy will face hazards greater than he can ever imagine as, together with his father, he gets caught up in the fight for the biggest prize of all: America. (Summary from Goodreads)

Doesn't this sound brilliant!? I can't wait to start this one! I have it from NetGalley and plan on diving right into it!
