Siobhan Vivian

A wonderful debut for any teen with friendship issues (i.e. all of them) Ruby's turning sixteen . . . but the day doesn't turn out to be as sweet as it's supposed to be. Her long lost father shows up, and Ruby doesn't want to have anything to do with him. Instead, she wants to hang out with her friends - loyal Beth, dangerous Katherine, and gossipy Maria. They have plenty of advice for her - about boys, about her dad, about how she should look and what she should be feeling. But really, Ruby doesn't know what to think or feel. Especially when a new boy comes into the picture . . . and Ruby discovers some of her friends aren't as truthful as they say.

Enquanto alguns se preocupam com o presente, fazem planos para o futuro, passam os dias empacotando suas coisas para mudar de cidade, Keeley e seus colegas do ensino médio decidem aproveitar ao máximo o tempo que ainda têm juntos em Aberdeen. Para ela, o momento é perfeito para fazer seu sonho se tornar realidade: se declarar para o garoto que sempre amou, Jesse Ford. A vida de Keeley está prestes a virar de cabeça para baixo, e a sensação de que não há nada a perder é perfeita para dar a ela a coragem de fazer o que normalmente não faria. Ou falar o que não falaria. E o risco quase sempre vale a recompensa. Quase sempre. Pode ser que seja o fim de Aberdeen, mas certamente é o começo da história de Keeley. Talvez nada tome o rumo esperado. Ou quem sabe tudo se encaixe para sempre. Seja como for, há coisas que só sobrevivem na memória - seja uma cidade ou um primeiro amor.

La liste nomme 8 filles chaque année Les 4 plus belles et les 4 plus laides du lycée Et si votre nom s’y trouvait ? Une tradition odieuse sévit au lycée de Mount Washington : tous les ans, une semaine avant le bal de début d’année, une liste est placardée dans les couloirs. Personne ne sait qui établit cette liste. Et personne n’a jamais réussi à empêcher qu’elle soit publiée. Invariablement, chaque année, la plus belle et la plus laide des troisièmes, des secondes, des premières et des terminales sont désignées. 8 filles en tout. 8 filles qui se retrouvent sous les projecteurs impitoyables du lycée. 8 filles qui vont voir leur vie brusquement changer… pour le meilleur ou pour le pire ?

Perversa ou inofensiva? Confiável ou hipócrita? Controlada ou insensata? A vida é sobre suas decisões e escolhas, e Natalie Sterling se orgulha de sempre fazer as melhores. Ela ignora os caras populares e babacas da escola, sempre ganha medalhas de honra e está prestes a ser a primeira estudante jovem a ser presidente do conselho estudantil em anos. Se apenas todas as outras garotas fossem tão sensíveis e fortes. Como o grupo de novatas que querem ser brinquedos dos jogadores de futebol. Ou sua melhor amiga, que tomou uma decisão idiota que quase arruinou sua vida. Mas ser sensível e forte não é fácil. Não quando uma brincadeira quase a faz ser expulsa. Não quando seus conselhos dóem mais do que ajudam. Não quando um cara que ela já deu um fora se torna o cara que ela não consegue parar de pensar. A linha entre o certo e o errado foi distorcida, e cruzá-la poderá resultar em um desastre… ou se tornar a melhor escolha que ela já imaginou fazer.

Natalie Sterling wants to be in control. She wants her friends to be loyal. She wants her classmates to elect her student council president. She wants to find the right guy, not the usual jerk her school has to offer. She wants a good reputation, because she believes that will lead to good things. But life is messy, and it's very hard to be in control of it. Not when there are freshman girls running around in a pack, trying to get senior guys to sleep with them. Not when your friends have secrets they're no longer comfortable sharing. Not when the boy you once dismissed ends up being the boy you want to sleep with yourself - but only in secret, with nobody ever finding out. Slut or saint? Winner or loser? Natalie is getting tired of these forced choices - and is now going to find a way to live life in the sometimes messy, sometimes wonderful in-between.

From the author of The Last Boy and Girl in the World and The List comes a bold and sweet summer read about first love, feminism, and ice cream. Summer in Sand Lake isn't complete without a trip to Meade Creamery-the local ice cream stand founded in 1944 by Molly Meade, who started making ice cream to cheer up her lovesick girlfriends while all the boys were away at war. Since then, the stand has been owned and managed exclusively by local girls, who inevitably become the best of friends. Seventeen-year-old Amelia and her best friend Cate have worked at the stand every summer for the past three years, and Amelia is Head Girl at the stand this summer. When Molly passes away before Amelia even has her first day in charge, Amelia isn't sure that the stand can go on. That is, until Molly's grandnephew Grady arrives and asks Amelia to stay on to help continue the business ... but Grady's got some changes in mind.

What if your town was sliding underwater and everyone was ordered to pack up and leave? How would you and your friends spend your last days together? While the adults plan for the future, box up their possessions, and find new places to live, Keeley Hewitt and her friends decide to go out with a bang. There are parties in abandoned houses. Canoe races down Main Street. The goal is to make the most of every minute they still have together. And for Keeley, that means taking one last shot at the boy she’s loved forever. There’s a weird sort of bravery that comes from knowing there’s nothing left to lose. You might do things you normally wouldn’t. Or say things you shouldn’t. The reward almost always outweighs the risk. Almost. It’s the end of Aberdeen, but the beginning of Keeley’s first love story. It just might not turn out the way she thought. Because it’s not always clear what’s worth fighting for and what you should let become a memory.
