Kody Keplinger

Whitley Johnson's dream summer with her divorcé dad has turned into a nightmare. She's just met his new fiancée and her kids. The fiancée's son? Whitley's one-night stand from graduation night. Just freakin' great. Worse, she totally doesn't fit in with her dad's perfect new country-club family. So Whitley acts out. She parties. Hard. So hard she doesn't even notice the good things right under her nose: a sweet little future stepsister who is just about the only person she's ever liked, a best friend (even though Whitley swears she doesn't "do" friends), and a smoking-hot guy who isn't her stepbrother...at least, not yet. It will take all three of them to help Whitley get through her anger and begin to put the pieces of her family together. Filled with authenticity and raw emotion, Whitley is Kody Keplinger's most compelling character to date: a cynical Holden Caulfield-esque girl you will wholly care about.

Em um grupo de amigas, a DUFF - sigla para Designated Ugly Fat Friend - é aquela que não se destaca, a menos atraente da turma. Ela não se enquadra nos padrões de beleza tradicionais, ou se preocupa menos com o visual, mas nem por isso deixa de ter seus encantos. Bianca Piper é esse tipo de garota. E estava muito bem, até que Wesley Rush, o pegador da escola, veio puxar conversa dizendo que ser legal com a DUFF o ajudaria a se dar bem com suas amigas Casey e Jessica. A partir de então, Bianca começa a se questionar: ela seria a amiga feia? As vantagens e as desvantagens de ser uma DUFF, o que leva alguém a pensar que é uma e outras dúvidas começam a ocupar os pensamentos de Bianca e só não dominam sua cabeça porque ela tem problemas maiores. O casamento de seus pais não vai bem e no dia em que ela descobre que eles estão se divorciando, decide sair com suas amigas para esquecer. Enquanto Casey e Jess se divertem, Bianca encontra Wesley e, num impulso, o beija. Os dois começam uma espécie de inimizade colorida. Bianca acha Wesley um galinha, que se aproveita da beleza e do dinheiro para ficar com o maior número de meninas possível, mas, no fundo, sente-se atraída por ele. Wesley é um cara amigável e não perde uma oportunidade de ficar com ela, ainda que continue chamando Bianca de DUFF. Com a convivência, os dois descobrem que as aparências enganam. Bianca Piper é uma protagonista independente, boa aluna, cínica e descolada. Com senso de humor e diálogos afiados, Kody Keplinger criou um romance sobre a amizade e o amor próprio, que aborda com leveza questões como a competição entre as meninas e a importância dada às aparências. Ao enfrentar seus problemas, Bianca amadurece e descobre que os rótulos que colocamos uns nos outros são armadilhas muito perigosas.

Bianca n’est peut-être pas la fille la plus jolie, ni la plus populaire du lycée mais elle a d’autres atouts : deux meilleures copines, un esprit mordant et beaucoup de second degré.Elle est aussi bien trop maligne pour tomber sous le charme du sexy Wesley, coureur de jupons invétéré et son ennemi juré depuis qu’il la surnomme la D.U.F.F (Dodue, Utile et Franchement Fade).Jusqu’au jour où elle commence à se demander si ses vraies ennemies ne seraient pas en fait ses amies si jolies, si parfaites et si populaires qui ont fait d’elle leur faire valoir : la copine un peu moche mais bien utile… leur D.U.F.F. ?Fatiguée d’être toujours reléguée au second plan, Bianca décide de sortir de l’ombre et de se débarrasser de son surnom en menant une véritable révolution contre les impitoyables règles sociales du lycée. Et en croisant sur son chemin un improbable allié… 

Can a lost girl save a found dog? Find out in this unforgettable story about discovering true friendship, finding home, and the possibilities of forgiveness. Hadley is angry about a lot of things: Her mom going to jail. Having to move to another state to live with her older sister, Beth, even though they haven't spoken in five years. Leaving her friends and her school behind. And going blind. But then Hadley meets Lila. Lila is an abandoned dog who spends her days just quietly lying around at the local dog rescue where Beth works. She doesn't listen to directions or play with the other dogs or show any interest in people. So when Lila comes and sits by Hadley (which is hardly anything, but it's more than she's done with others), Beth thinks maybe Hadley can help Lila. She tells Hadley they'll bring Lila home as a foster dog and Hadley can teach her to follow commands, walk on a leash, and be more of a people dog so she'll be ready to be adopted. Only working with Lila is harder than Hadley thought, and so is the mobility training she starts taking to help with her failing vision. It feels like Lila is too stubborn to train and like learning to use a cane is impossible. But unless Hadley can help Lila, she'll never be adopted into a home. If Hadley could just let go of her anger, she might be able to save Lila... and herself. New York Times bestselling author Kody Keplinger weaves an unforgettable story about discovering true friendship, finding home, and the possibilities of forgiveness.

Everyone in town knows the Dickinsons are a bad lot, but Bo doesn’t care what anyone thinks. Agnes Atwood has never gone on a date, never even stayed out past ten, and never broken any of her parents’ overbearing rules. Rules that are meant to protect their legally blind daughter—protect her from what, Agnes isn’t quite sure. Despite everything, Bo and Agnes become best friends. And it’s the sort of friendship that runs truer and deeper than anything else. So when Bo shows up in the middle of the night, with police sirens wailing in the distance, desperate to get out of town, Agnes doesn’t hesitate to take off with her. But running away and not getting caught will require stealing a car, tracking down Bo’s dad, staying ahead of the authorities, and—worst of all—confronting some ugly secrets.

It's been three years since the Virgil County High School Massacre. Three years since my best friend, Sarah, was killed in a bathroom stall during the mass shooting. Everyone knows Sarah's story--that she died proclaiming her faith. But it's not true. I know because I was with her when she died. I didn't say anything then, and people got hurt because of it. Now Sarah's parents are publishing a book about her, so this might be my last chance to set the record straight . . . but I'm not the only survivor with a story to tell about what did--and didn't--happen that day. Except Sarah's martyrdom is important to a lot of people, people who don't take kindly to what I'm trying to do. And the more I learn, the less certain I am about what's right. I don't know what will be worse: the guilt of staying silent or the consequences of speaking up . . .

Nola Sutton has been best friends and neighbors with the Swift boys for practically her whole life. There’s the youngest, Kevin, who never stops talking; the oldest, Brian, who’s always kind and calm; and then there’s Canaan, the ringleader and Nola’s best-best friend. Nola can’t imagine her life without the Swift boys — they’ll always be like this, always be friends. But then everything changes overnight. When the Swifts’ daddy leaves without even saying good-bye, it completely destroys the boys, and all Nola can do is watch. Kevin stops talking and Brian is never around. Even Canaan is drifting away from Nola — hanging out with the neighborhood bullies instead of her. Nola just wants things to go back to the way they were — the way they’ve always been. She tries to pull the boys back to her, only the harder she pulls, the further away they seem. But it’s not just the Swifts whose family is changing, so is Nola’s, and she needs her best friends now more than ever.

Das hat Bianca gerade noch gefehlt. Der eingebildete Wesley, dem alle Mädchen an ihrer Schule zu Füßen liegen, spricht sie an. Und hat die Stirn, ihr rundheraus zu sagen, dass er das nur tut, um an ihre hübsche Freundin ranzukommen. Schneller, als er denken kann, hat er ihre Cola im Gesicht. Auf so jemand fällt Bianca nicht rein. Aber als zu Hause alles schief geht, lässt sie sich doch mit ihm ein. Heimlich und völlig unverbindlich, versteht sich. Mit Liebe hat das nichts zu tun. Oder?
