Барри Йонсберг0.0 This isn't just about me. It's also about the other people in my life - my mother, my father, my dead sister Sky, my penpal Denille, Rich Uncle Brian, Earth-Pig Fish and Douglas Benson From Another Dimension. These are people [with the exception of Earth-Pig Fish, who is a fish] who have shaped me, made me what I am. I cannot recount my life without recounting elements of theirs. This is a big task, but I am confident I am up to it.
Introducing Candice Phee: twelve years old, hilariously honest and a little ... odd. But she has a big heart, the very best of intentions and an unwavering determination to ensure everyone is happy. So she sets about trying to 'fix' all the problems of all the people [and pets] in her life.
Garth Nix0.0 A grand adventure that spans galaxies and lifetimes, A Confusion of Princes is a page-turning thriller, a tender romance, and a powerful exploration of what it means to be human. includes exclusive bonus Garth Nix short story 'Master Haddad's Holiday'.
I have died three times, and three times been reborn, though I am not yet twenty in the old earth years by which it is still the fashion to measure time. This is the story of my three deaths, and my life between. My name is Khemri.
Taken from his parents as a child and equipped with biological and technological improvements, Khemri is now an enhanced human being, trained and prepared for the glory of becoming a Prince of the Empire. Not to mention the ultimate glory: should he die, and be deemed worthy, he will be reborn...Which is just as well, because no sooner has Prince Khemri graduated to full Princehood than he learns the terrible truth behind the Empire: there are ten million princes, and all of them want each other dead.
Эмбелин Кваймуллина0.0 The world has ended, and the society which emerged from the ruins of environmental catastrophe is obsessed with maintaining “the Balance”: preserving harmony between humans and nature.

Ashala Wolf has run away to escape this fate, and lives in the Firstwood with her pack of Illegals, named the Tribe. But when she is captured by Chief Administrator Neville Rose, she must use all her resilience to protect the Tribe. Injured and vulnerable, with her Sleepwalker ability blocked, Ashala is forced to succumb to a machine that will pull secrets from her mind. And beside her is Justin Connor, her betrayer, watching her every move. Will the Tribe survive the interrogation of Ashala Wolf?
Melissa Keil4.3 Sam Kinnison is a geek, and he’s totally fine with that. He has his horror movies, his nerdy friends, World of Warcraft – and until Princess Leia turns up in his bedroom, he doesn’t have to worry about girls.
Then Sam meets Camilla. She’s beautiful, friendly and completely irrelevant to his life. Sam is determined to ignore her, except that Camilla has a life of her own – and she’s decided that he’s going to be part of it.
Sam believes that everything he needs to know he can learn from the movies ... but now it looks like he’s been watching the wrong ones.
Мэгги Стивотер4.2 Всю жизнь Блю Сарджент омрачало зловещее предсказание: тот, кого она по-настоящему полюбит, умрет. И она легко бы отнеслась к этому прорицанию как к шутке, если бы не одно «но»: вся ее семья – ясновидящие, раз за разом повторявшие свое мрачное пророчество. А это совсем меняет дело…
Познакомившись с компанией молодых людей из элитной школы Эглайонби, Блю решает, что никакой опасности нет, ведь не влюбится же она, в самом деле, в одного из этих богатеньких сынков!
И лишь одна тайна тревожит ее душу: Блю точно знает, что в течение года один из молодых парней умрет.
Рик Янси4.1 Первая волна оставила за собой мглу. От второй успели убежать только самые везучие. Но едва ли можно назвать везучими тех, кто уцелел после третьей.
А четвертая волна стерла все человеческие законы, взамен же установила свой, один-единственный: хочешь жить — не верь никому.
И вот уже накатывает пятая волна, и Кэсси уходит в неизвестность по усеянной останками людей и машин автостраде. Она спасается от тех, кто лишь с виду человек; от похитителей ее маленького брата; от умелых и ловких убийц, которые ведут зачистку захваченной планеты.
В этом новом мире выживают только одиночки. Найти напарника — значит на порядок уменьшить свои шансы. Прибиться к группе — значит погибнуть наверняка. Кэсси неукоснительно следует этому правилу… до тех пор, пока не встречает Эвана Уокера. И теперь она вынуждена выбирать — между доверием и отчаянием, между борьбой и капитуляцией, между жизнью и смертью.
Райна Тельгемайер3.9 Callie loves theater. And while she would totally try out for her middle school's production of Moon over Mississippi, she can't really sing. Instead she's the set designer for the drama department's stage crew, and this year she's determined to create a set worthy of Broadway on a middle-school budget. But how can she, when she doesn't know much about carpentry, ticket sales are down, and the crew members are having trouble working together? Not to mention the onstage AND offstage drama that occurs once the actors are chosen. And when two cute brothers enter the picture, things get even crazier!
Courtney Summers3.7 It's the end of the world. Six students have taken cover in Cortege High but shelter is little comfort when the dead outside won't stop pounding on the doors. One bite is all it takes to kill a person and bring them back as a monstrous version of their former self. To Sloane Price, that doesn't sound so bad. Six months ago, her world collapsed and since then, she's failed to find a reason to keep going. Now seems like the perfect time to give up. As Sloane eagerly waits for the barricades to fall, she's forced to witness the apocalypse through the eyes of five people who actually want to live. But as the days crawl by, the motivations for survival change in startling ways and soon the group's fate is determined less and less by what's happening outside and more and more by the unpredictable and violent bids for life - and death - inside. When everything is gone, what do you hold on to?
Cat Patrick3.8 Lizzie, Betsey and Ella are sisters: triplets. Or so you might think. In fact the girls are clones in hiding, forced to split their lives and live as one person in the outside world. But what happens when one of them falls head-over-heels in love? And, of course, there's a darker secret at play that might change everything. By the author of Forgotten and Revived. Perfect for fans of Ally Condie, Lauren Kate, Jay Asher, David Levithan, Cassandra Clare and Kami Garcia.

Он видит мир глазами других людей, разговаривает их голосами, через их ощущения постигает жизнь. Но однажды он встречает ее. И все меняется, жизнь обретает смысл...
Ник Лейк0.0 From the author of the Michael L. Printz award–winning novel In Darkness comes a critically-acclaimed, fast-paced thriller that's as dangerous as the seas on which it's set.
The last thing Amy planned to do this summer was sail around the world trapped on a yacht with her father and her stepmother. Really, all she wanted was to fast-forward to October when she'll turn
eighteen and take control of her own life.
Aboard the Daisy May, Amy spends time sunbathing, dolphin watching and forgetting the past as everything floats by . . . until one day in the Gulf of Aden another boat appears. A boat with guns and pirates – the kind that kill.
Immediately, the pirates seize the boat and its human cargo. Hostage One is Amy's father – the most valuable. Hostage Two: her stepmother. And Hostage Three is Amy, who can't believe what's happening. As the ransom brokering plays out, Amy finds herself becoming less afraid, and even
stranger still, drawn to one of her captors, a teenage boy who wants desperately to be more than who he has become. Suddenly it becomes brutally clear that the price of life and its value are two very different things . . .
Джо Ноулз0.0
Starting middle school brings all the usual challenges — until the unthinkable happens, and Fern and her family must find a way to heal.
Twelve-year-old Fern feels invisible. It seems as though everyone in her family has better things to do than pay attention to her: Mom (when she’s not meditating) helps Dad run the family restaurant; Sarah is taking a gap year after high school; and Holden pretends that Mom and Dad and everyone else doesn’t know he’s gay, even as he fends off bullies at school. Then there’s Charlie: three years old, a "surprise" baby, the center of everyone’s world. He’s devoted to Fern, but he’s annoying, too, always getting his way, always dirty, always commanding attention. If it wasn’t for Ran, Fern’s calm and positive best friend, there’d be nowhere to turn. Ran’s mantra, "All will be well," is soothing in a way that nothing else seems to be. And when Ran says it, Fern can almost believe it’s true. But then tragedy strikes- and Fern feels not only more alone than ever, but also responsible for the accident that has wrenched her family apart. All will not be well. Or at least all will never be the same.
