June’s roundup of New in Paperback titles includes DAIRY QUEEN, Catherine Gilbert Murdock’s memorable debut novel, narrated by a 15-year-old girl who tries out for the high school football team and falls in love with the rival school's quarterback; THE CANNIBALS, a sequel to Iain Lawrence’s THE CONVICTS that provides readers with a non-stop, high seas tale full of twists, turns and fate; YOU, MAYBE by Rachel Vail, who tells the story of fierce, independent Josie and her fall from utterly cool to lovesick puppy; and Mariah Fredericks’s CRUNCH TIME, in which the revelation that someone cheated on the SATs threatens the friendships that have developed among four students in a study group.
