Nicole Eisenbraun

I am looking for YA and MG of all genres that remind me of the reading experiences I had as a young person – books that excite, teach, evoke empathy, and create a safe space.

Things I am particularly interested in right now:

– Fresh, colorful fairytale retellings – especially ones that haven’t been done often! I would be excited by retellings of stories like “The Willful Child,” “Jack and the Beanstalk,” or “The Lady, or the Tiger?”

– Stories based in lore and myths from around the world

– Contemporary stories set in the Midwest- Family stories centering around the family business (think FRONT DESK by Kelly Yang)

– Stories that tackle difficult issues in an unexpected way with a strong voice – something like RIVERLAND by Fran Wilde. I am a huge fan of portal stories.

– Anything involving STEM

– I have always been a sucker for enemy-to-lover romances.

– I’m craving an eerie, atmospheric thriller in the vein of YELLOWJACKETS. I really enjoy stories that examine the human psyche in unusual and/or difficult situations. I also love the idea of speculating whether something more (supernatural) is going on. I am also down for other fun, pacey thrillers.

– layered mysteries in the vein of THE INHERITANCE GAMES.
