21 Proms
David Levithan
Sometimes the night of your dreams can be a total nightmare.The prom. It's supposed to be one of the best nights of your life. Or, at least, you're supposed to have a good time. But what if you'd rather be going with your best friend's date than your own? What if a sinister underground society of students has spiked the punch? What if your date turns out to be more of a frog than a prince? Or what if he's (literally) an ape? There are ways you can fight it. You can protest the silliness of the regular prom by hosting a backwards prom - also known as a morp. You can throw a prom for fat girls. You can stay at home to watch old teen movies and get your cute neighbor and his cuter brother to join you. You can dance to your own music.Here, 21 of the funniest, most imaginative writers today create their own kind of prom stories. Some are triumphs. Some are disasters. But each one is a night you'll never forget.
A Cada Dia
David Levithan
A cada dia um novo corpo. A cada dia uma nova vida. A cada dia o mesmo amor pela mesma rapariga.
A cada dia, A acorda no corpo de uma pessoa diferente. Nunca sabe quem será nem onde estará. A já se conformou com a sua sorte e criou regras para a sua vida:
Nunca se apegar muito. Evitar ser notado. Não interferir.
Tudo corre bem até que A acorda no corpo de Justin e conhece Rhiannon, a namorada de Justin. A partir desse momento, as regras de vida de A não mais se aplicam. Porque, finalmente, A encontrou alguém com quem quer estar a cada dia, todos os dias.
A comme Aujourd'hui
David Levithan
Chaque matin, A se réveille dans un corps différent, dans une nouvelle vie, et ne dispose d'aucun moyen de savoir où, et « qui » sera son hôte. Une seule chose est sûre : il n'empruntera cette identité que le temps d une journée. Aussi incroyable que cela puisse paraître, A a accepté cet état de fait, et a même établi plusieurs règles qui régissent son existence pour le moins singulière : ne pas trop s'attacher ; ne pas se faire remarquer ; ne jamais
s'immiscer dans la vie de l autre.
Des préceptes qui resteront les siens jusqu'à ce qu'il se réveille dans le corps de Justin, 16 ans, et qu'il
fasse la connaissance de Rhiannon, sa petite amie. Dès lors, il ne sera plus question de subir sans intervenir.
Car A vient enfin de croiser quelqu'un avec qui il veut être, qu'il ne peut laisser derrière lui, ce jour-là, le suivant, jour après jour...
Une romance captivante, qui tente de décrypter ce sentiment complexe qu'est l'amour, à travers le destin de ces deux héros que tout semble vouloir séparer. Ou comment parvenir à aimer lorsque l'on est condamné à ne vivre qu'au présent...

Another Day (Every Day, #2)
David Levithan
Every day is the same for Rhiannon. She has accepted her life, convinced herself that she deserves her distant, temperamental boyfriend, Justin, even established guidelines by which to live: Don’t be too needy. Avoid upsetting him. Never get your hopes up.

Confused, depressed, and desperate for another day as great as that one, Rhiannon starts questioning everything. Then, one day, a stranger tells her that the Justin she spent that day with, the one who made her feel like a real person…wasn’t Justin at all.
In this enthralling companion to his New York Times bestseller Every Day, David Levithan tells Rhiannon’s side of the story as she seeks to discover the truth about love and how it can change you.

A bold, timely novel about speaking up and coming out as parents lobby to ban a beloved book from the school curriculum by New York Times-bestselling author David Levithan.
When Donovan left his copy of The Adventurers on the kitchen counter, he didn't think his mom would read it--much less have a problem with it. It's just an adventure novel about two characters trying to stop an evil genius...right?
But soon the entire town is freaking out about whether the book's main characters are gay, Donovan's mom is trying to get the book removed from the school curriculum, and Donovan is caught in the middle.
Donovan doesn't really know if the two boys fall in love at the end or not--but he does know this: even if they do, it shouldn't matter. The book should not be banned from school.
Interweaving three connected storylines, David Levithan delivers a bold, fun, and timely story about taking action (whether it's against book censors or deadly alligators...), being brave, and standing up for what's right.

Are We There Yet?
David Levithan

But then Elijah meets Julia, and soon the brothers aren’t together nearly as much. And then Julia meets Danny and soon all three of them are in a mixed-up, turned-around, never-what-you-expect world of brothers, Italy, and love.Are We There Yet? isn’t about a place on a map, it’s about a place in the heart.

Boy Meets Boy
David Levithan
This is the story of Paul, a sophomore at a high school like no other: The cheerleaders ride Harleys, the homecoming queen used to be a guy named Daryl (she now prefers Infinite Darlene and is also the star quarterback), and the gay-straight alliance was formed to help the straight kids learn how to dance.
When Paul meets Noah, he thinks he’s found the one his heart is made for. Until he blows it. The school bookie says the odds are 12-to-1 against him getting Noah back, but Paul’s not giving up without playing his love really loud. His best friend Joni might be drifting away, his other best friend Tony might be dealing with ultra-religious parents, and his ex-boyfriend Kyle might not be going away anytime soon, but sometimes everything needs to fall apart before it can really fit together right.
This is a happy-meaningful romantic comedy about finding love, losing love, and doing what it takes to get love back in a crazy-wonderful world.

Every You, Every Me
David Levithan
In this high school-set psychological tale, a tormented teen named Evan starts to discover a series of unnerving photographs—some of which feature him. Someone is stalking him . . . messing with him . . . threatening him. Worse, ever since his best friend Ariel has been gone, he's been unable to sleep, spending night after night torturing himself for his role in her absence. And as crazy as it sounds, Evan's starting to believe it's Ariel that's behind all of this, punishing him. But the more Evan starts to unravel the mystery, the more his paranoia and insomnia amplify, and the more he starts to unravel himself. Creatively told with black-and-white photos interspersed between the text so the reader can see the photos that are so unnerving to Evan, Every You, Every Me is a one-of-a-kind departure from a one-of-a-kind author.

The Lover's Dictionary
David Levithan
There has to be a moment at the beginning when you wonder whether you're in love with the person or in love with the feeling of love itself.
If the moment doesn't pass, that's it―you're done. And if the moment does pass, it never goes that far. It stands in the distance, ready for whenever you want it back. Sometimes it's even there when you thought you were searching for something else, like an escape route, or your lover's face.
How does one talk about love? Do we even have the right words to describe something that can be both utterly mundane and completely transcendent, pulling us out of our everyday lives and making us feel a part of something greater than ourselves? Taking a unique approach to this problem, the nameless narrator of David Levithan's The Lover's Dictionary has constructed the story of his relationship as a dictionary. Through these short entries, he provides an intimate window into the great events and quotidian trifles of being within a couple, giving us an indelible and deeply moving portrait of love in our time.
The Mysterious Disappearance of Aidan S. (as told to his brother)
David Levithan
New York Times bestselling author David Levithan takes young readers on a twisting journey through truth, reality, and fantasy and belief.
Aidan disappeared for six days. Six agonizing days of searches and police and questions and constant vigils. Then, just as suddenly as he vanished, Aidan reappears. Where has he been? The story he tells is simply. . . impossible. But it's the story Aidan is sticking to.
His brother, Lucas, wants to believe him. But Lucas is aware of what other people, including their parents, are saying: that Aidan is making it all up to disguise the fact that he ran away.
When the kids in school hear Aidan's story, they taunt him. But still Aidan clings to his story. And as he becomes more of an outcast, Lucas becomes more and more concerned. Being on Aidan's side would mean believing in the impossible. But how can you believe in the impossible when everything and everybody is telling you not to?
The Perfect Score
David Levithan
Some exams try to define who you are.... The S.A.T. defines who you will be. It's not about what you know. It's not about learning. It's about how well you take the test. And if the Educational Testing Service isn't going to play fair, neither are these six high school seniors.
They have one common goal -- to steal the answers to the S.A.T. -- and six different reasons for doing it.

Todo Dia (Todo Dia, #1)
David Levithan
Todo dia sou uma pessoa diferente. Eu sou eu, sei que sou. Mas também sou outra pessoa. Sempre foi assim.
Toda manhã, A acorda em um corpo diferente, em uma vida diferente. Não há qualquer aviso sobre quem será ou onde estará em seguida. De menina a menino, rebelde a certinho, tímido a popular, saudável a doente; A precisa se adaptar. Ele já se acostumou com isso e até criou algumas regras para si mesmo. Primeira: nunca se apegar; segunda: jamais interferir. E tudo corre bem... até que A desperta no corpo de Justin e conhece sua namorada, Rhiannon.
A partir desse momento, as regras pelas quais tem vivido não fazem mais sentido. Porque, finalmente, A encontrou alguém com quem quer ficar; dia após dia, todo dia. Mas como esperar que uma pessoa que sempre viveu uma vida normal possa entender a realidade de A? Ou até mesmo acreditar nela?
Em Todo dia, enquanto lutam para se reencontrar a cada 24 horas, ambos precisam enfrentar seus próprios demônios, superar suas limitações e redefinir suas prioridades. Rhiannon conseguirá ficar com alguém que muda a cada dia? E até onde A acha justo (ou ético) interferir nas vidas de quem habita? Mas, principalmente, o amor pode mesmo vencer qualquer barreira?

Zi după zi o altă viaţă.
Zi după zi îndrăgostit de aceeaşi fată.

Niciodată nu e prevenit în legătură cu locul unde se va afla sau persoana în trupul căreia va fi. A s-a împăcat cu situaţia lui şi chiar şi-a stabilit câteva reguli „de supravieţuire": Niciodată să nu se ataşeze prea tare. Să evite să fie remarcat. Să nu se implice.
Totul până într-o zi când se trezeşte în corpul lui Justin şi o cunoaşte pe iubita acestuia, Rhiannon. Regulile sale stricte nu se mai aplică. Pentru că, în sfârşit, a găsit pe cineva alături de care vrea să rămână pentru totdeauna, zi după zi.

Δεν είναι μόνο το σώμα — να ανοίξω τα μάτια μου και να ανακαλύψω αν η επιδερμίδα του χεριού μου είναι ανοιχτή ή σκούρα, αν τα μαλλιά μου είναι μακριά ή κοντά, αν είμαι χοντρός ή λεπτή, αγόρι ή κορίτσι, αν το δέρμα μου έχει ουλές ή είναι απαλό. Αν ξυπνάς κάθε πρωί μέσα σε καινούριο σώμα, είναι πολύ εύκολο να προσαρμοστείς σ’ αυτό. Από την άλλη, όμως, μπορεί να είναι δύσκολο να κατανοήσεις τον τρόπο ζωής κι όλα όσα συνοδεύουν το σώμα. Κάθε μέρα είμαι και κάποιος άλλος. Είμαι ο εαυτός μου —ξέρω ότι είμαι ο εαυτός μου— αλλά είμαι και κάποιος άλλος. Πάντα έτσι ήταν.
Σήμερα είμαι ο Τζάστιν. Με κάποιον τρόπο το ξέρω αυτό —το όνομά μου είναι Τζάστιν— και ταυτόχρονα ξέρω ότι δεν είμαι στ’ αλήθεια ο Τζάστιν αλλά δανείζομαι τη ζωή του για μία μέρα μόνο.
Ονομάζεται Α. Κάθε πρωί ξυπνάει στο σώμα και στη ζωή ενός διαφορετικού ανθρώπου. Ποτέ δεν ξέρει από πριν ποιο θα είναι το άτομο μέσα στο οποίο θα βρεθεί. Αν θα είναι αγόρι ή κορίτσι, λευκός ή μελαμψή, χαρούμενος ή θυμωμένη. Το έχει αποδεχτεί όμως, έχει ορίσει μάλιστα και τους κανόνες: δε δένεται πολύ, μένει διακριτικά στη ζωή των άλλων και δεν ανακατεύεται στην καθημερινότητα που μοιράζεται για μία μόνο μέρα. Ώσπου ένα πρωί ξυπνάει στο σώμα του Τζάστιν και γνωρίζει την κοπέλα του, τη Ριάννον. Τότε νιώθει ότι βρήκε επιτέλους κάποιον με τον οποίο θέλει να είναι μαζί. Κάθε μέρα.
Ένα υπέροχο βιβλίο που θα μιλήσει στην καρδιά κάθε εφήβου που ψάχνει μια αγάπη κι ένα σώμα για να τη μοιραστεί. Κάθε μέρα άλλο σώμα. Κάθε μέρα άλλη ζωή. Κάθε μέρα αναζητά το ίδιο κορίτσι.
