You're listening to All the Backlist, a weekly show about books that are not new.

I'm Tears of Christ coming to you from Book Riot, and this week I'm going to be diving

into the stacks to talk about two great YA books that are turning 30 years old, but have

received some new additions in a nice new facelift recently, and so they're definitely

worth picking up now 30 years later, and I highly recommend them.

They are probably, you know, early YA books that I think encapsulate what's so great

about YA, and I think it says a lot that they have managed to endure for 30 years through

a lot of societal changes, and just a huge shift in the YA market, especially, so these

are two really awesome books, and I really hope that you will pick them up.

But before I get into that, let's hear from our sponsor.

Today's episode is brought to you by Poisoned Pin Press.

So Dawn's shift is strange.

At least that's what everyone thinks at VIXT, the nutritional supplement company where

Dawn works as an accountant, she never says the right thing, she has no friends, and she's

always at her desk at precisely 8.45 AM.

So when Dawn doesn't show up to the office one morning, her coworker Natalie Farrell,

beautiful popular top sales rep five years running, is surprised.

And then she receives an unsettling anonymous phone call that changes everything.

It turns out Dawn wasn't just an awkward outsider, she was being targeted by someone close,

and now Natalie is irrevocably tied to Dawn as she finds herself caught in a twisted

game of cat and mouse that leads her wondering who's the real victim.
