"McGhee writes confidently as one who remembers the ordinariness of adolescence as well as its angst . . . and compellingly creates a protagonist blindsided by loss." — PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review)

For seventeen-year-old Rose, it keeps happening — the car crash. The car crash that put her sister, Ivy, in a coma with only a respirator keeping her alive. While Rose tries to find support from her reticent mother, distraction from the series of boys she meets at the town’s gorge at night, and empathy from her neighbor William T., what she really needs must come from within herself — a release of what’s been welling up inside. Heartrending, honest, and ultimately hopeful, this is the tale of a teenager overwhelmed by trauma and loss, yet steadied by loyal friendship and the solace of first love.

Gollie is quite sure she has royal blood in her veins, but can Bink survive her friend’s queenly airs – specially if pancakes are not part of the deal? Bink wonders what it would be like to be as tall as her friend, but how far will she stretch her luck t

The simple playthings, the everyday moments, picking up that hundredth rock -- all of these are brimming with possibility...if you slow down and let the future begin with the small moments of today. Because everything depends on letting a little boy...be a little boy.

On the far side of town in a big dark house lives a brave little witch. She has heard lots and lots about that very human holiday Halloween, and even though she thinks she knows what humans are like, she has never, ever seen Halloween for herself.

Until one very special Halloween comes along . . .

Sometimes you got to walk the day out of you. You know? Walk it right out through the soles of your feet.
Will is a walker. Home, school, work, repeat. He walks one day in and the next day out.
He walks past this little dude who waits for butterflies. Past Superman, the homeless guy on First Street. Past the Dog of Insanity, forever chained and barking.
Then there are some places Will won't - Will can't - walk past. The bridge on Fourth Street. The store with the shelves of one hundred Chinese blessings. His friend Playa's house.
But when the universe places unexpected detours in his path, Will's gotta figure out how to stop walking away from his problems and walk toward them.

When Clara Winter left her rural Adirondack Mountain town for college, she never looked back. Her mother, Tamar, a fiercely independent but loving woman who raised Clara on her own, all but pushed her out the door, forcing Clara to build a new life for herself, far from her roots, far from her high-school boyfriend, and far from the life she had known. Now more than a decade has passed, and Clara, a successful writer, has been summoned home. Tamar has become increasingly forgetful and can no longer live on her own. But, just as her mother's memory is beginning to slip away, Clara's questions are building: Why was Tamar so insistent that Clara leave home all those years ago? What secrets was she hiding? Does Clara, too, carry inside her the gene for early-onset Alzheimer's? And, if so, what does that mean for her own future?

ЗНАКОМЬТЕСЬ! ЭТО БИНК И ГОЛЛИ — друзья не разлей вода!

Одна совсем маленького роста, другая — дылда, но обе ужасно смешные и частенько хотят подкрепиться: одна обожает ореховое маслице (это Бинк), другая печёт оладьи (это Голли, но она всегда щедро делится с подругой). Эта парочка — любительницы роликов и приключений, в которые они пускаются очертя голову. Но куда бы ни прикатили их ролики, Бинк и Голли всегда останутся лучшими друзьями.

Эту книгу сочинили две американские писательницы — Кейт ДиКамилло (её книги хорошо знают и любят в нашей стране) и её подруга Элисон МакГи, также удостоенная множества литературных наград. Они придумали этих задорных девчонок — Бинк и Голли, а яркие юмористические иллюстрации Тони Фюсиля оживили их, прекрасно передав характеры подружек — выдумщиц и непосед.
