The Inheritance Games meets Ocean's 11 in this thrilling YA adventure about a vengeful daughter determined to pull off the perfect heist in the midst of her father's wedding.
Seventeen-year-old Olivia Owens isn't thrilled that her dad's getting remarried...again. She's especially not thrilled that he cheated on her mom, kicked them out of their Rhode Island home, and cut Olivia out of her rightful inheritance.
But this former heiress has a plan for revenge. While hundreds of guests gather on the grounds of the gorgeous estate where she grew up, everyone will be thinking romance-not robbery. She'll play the part of dutiful daughter, but in reality she'll be redistributing millions from her father's online accounts. She only needs the handwritten pass code he keeps in the estate's safe.
With the help of an eclectic crew of high school students and one former teacher, Olivia has plotted her mid-nuptial heist down to the second. But she didn't plan for an obnoxiously nosy wedding guest, an interfering ex-boyfriend intent on winning her back, greedy European cousins with their own agenda, or a vengeful second wife. When everything seems like it's going wrong, Olivia has to keep her eyes on what really matters: getting rich. And when she's done, "something borrowed" will be the understatement of the year.
How do you keep moving forward when it feels like your life is falling apart?
Seventeen-year-old Gabe's life is a mess. His debut album made him an overnight sensation, but his second album tanked, and he just flunked out of his prestigious prep school and got dumped by his on-again, off-again girlfriend. The only place he can be free from the paparazzi and from rumors is the family farm—the farm that seventeen-year-old Juniper’s family has managed since she was born.
Juniper’s dad died a few years back and her siblings have all moved out, so now it’s just her and her mom managing the farm. When Juniper learns that Gabe plans to sell the farm as soon as he turns eighteen, she decides to get close to him and try to change his mind.
At first, Juniper and Gabe couldn’t be more at odds, but the more time they spend together, the more they feel a connection. Can they set aside their differences to do what’s best for the farm—and for each other?
Is the life she can’t remember one she’d rather forget?
One year after her family was in a tragic car accident that killed her teenage son, Lori Mendenhall returns home with a traumatic brain injury that has stolen the last eight years of memories from her, leaving the life she has returned to unrecognizable.
Her once-loving husband, Michael, is a distant workaholic she isn’t sure she can trust, and her once-bubbly daughter, Avery, has spent the last year hidden away in her room.
If Lori wants to reconnect with her family, she’ll have to uncover the information her brain is trying to keep secret. As memories return and past secrets resurface, it will take the whole family to repair what’s been broken and find a new future together.
Award-winning author Kelly Barnhill brings her singular talents to a raw, powerful fable of love, sacrifice, and family.
Mothers fly away like migrating birds. This is why farmers have daughters.
A fifteen-year-old teenager is the backbone of her small Midwestern family, budgeting the household finances and raising her younger brother while her mom, a talented artist, weaves beautiful tapestries. For six years, it’s been just the three of them—her mom has brought
home guests at times, but none have ever stayed.
But when her mom brings home a six-foot-tall crane with a menacing air, the girl is powerless to stop him forcing his way into their lives and her mom’s heart.
Utterly enchanted and numb to his sharp edges, she abandons the world around her to weave the masterpiece the crane demands.
In this stunning contemporary retelling of “The Crane Wife” by the author of When Women Were Dragons and The Girl Who Drank the Moon, a fiercely pragmatic teen forced to grow up faster than was fair will do whatever it takes to protect her family—and change the story.
Like every young woman in New America, Stella knows the rules: Embrace
purity. Navigate the world with care. Respect your chaperone.
Girls in New America must have a chaperone at all times. Because of this, Stella is
never alone. She can’t go out by herself or learn about the world. She can’t even
spend time with boys except at formal Visitations. Still, Stella feels lucky that her
chaperone, Sister Helen, is like a friend to her. And then the unthinkable happens.
Sister Helen dies suddenly, and Stella feels lost. Especially when she’s assigned a
new chaperone just days later.
Sister Laura is … different. She has radical ideas about what Stella should be doing.
She leaves Stella alone in public, and even knows how to get into the “Hush Hush”
parties, where all kinds of forbidden things happen. As Stella spends more time
with Sister Laura, she begins to question everything she’s been taught. What if the
Constables’ rules don’t actually protect girls? What if they were never meant to
keep them safe?
Once Stella glimpses both real freedom and the dark truths behind New America,
she has no choice but to fight back against the world she knows, risking everything
to set out on a dangerous journey across what used to be the United States.
Sometimes the best parts of life can’t be planned.
Felicity Becker loves watching an event come together. There’s something magical about crafting an experience people will remember. So when her mom gets engaged, Felicity sees the wedding as the perfect opportunity to show off her skills.
After Felicity’s friend Nancy offers up her family’s apple orchard as a venue, wedding planning gets even better. But the more time Felicity and Nancy spend together dress shopping and hunting for mismatched china, the more it starts to seem like there might be something
besides friendship between them. But as someone on the asexual spectrum, what would dating even look like for Felicity?
And would Nancy be open to dating when Felicity doesn’t actually know what she wants from a relationship?
Suddenly the summer is a lot more complicated. Can Felicity wrangle her irresponsible mom, figure out her feelings for Nancy, and plan the perfect wedding? Or will all her plans come crashing down around her?
In Tag’s world, children are disappearing. “Youngers” who venture Outside are windswept—vanishing in the swirling snow—Tag’s sisters among them. Many have tried to find the lost children; all have failed. And since the Other Times, the Powers That Be seem intent on keeping it that way.
Little remains from those times: snippets of songs, heaps of plastic trash, and a few banned texts—including a book of fairy tales.
An unlikely crew of Youngers joins forces: Boots, who can climb anything; Ant, who will eat anything; Ren, who will say anything; and Tag, who doesn’t appear to have any talent whatsoever. With their dubious skills, the fairy tales, a possibly magic ribbon, and an unwillingness to accept “that’s impossible,” they set off to
rescue their windswept siblings in this spellbinding fantasy from Margi Preus.
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Nature of Witches comes an immersive, enemies-to-lovers contemporary fantasy standalone.
After a night of magic turns deadly, Iris Gray vows to never let another person learn she’s a witch. It doesn’t matter that the Witches’ Council found her innocent or that her magic was once viewed as a marvel—that night on the lake changed everything. Now settled in Washington, Iris
hides who she really is and vents her frustrations by writing curses she never intends to cast. And while she loves working at the wildlife refuge she runs with her mother, she loathes Pike Alder, the witch-hating aspiring ornithologist who interns with them.
When Pike makes a particularly hurtful comment, Iris concocts a cruel curse for him. But just as she’s about to dispel it, an owl swoops down and steals the curse before flying far away from the refuge. The owl is a powerful amplifier, and if it dies, Iris’s dark spell will be unleashed not only on Pike but on everyone in the region.
Forced to work together, Iris and Pike trek through the wilderness in search of the bird that could cost Pike his life. But Pike doesn’t know the truth, and as more dangers arise in the woods, Iris must decide how far she’s willing to go to keep her secrets safe.
Beneath the streets of York, the goblin market calls to the Wickett women—the family of witches that tends to its victims. For generations, they have defended the old cobblestone streets with their magic. Knowing the dangers, they never
entered the market—until May Wickett fell for a goblin girl, accepted her invitation, and became inextricably tied to the world her family tried to protect her from. The market learned her name, and even when she and her sister left York for Boston to escape it, the goblins remembered.
Eighteen years later, Lou, May’s niece, knows nothing of her magical lineage or the twisted streets, sweet fruits, and incredible jewels of the goblin market. But just like her aunt, the market calls to her, an echo of a curse that won’t release its
hold on her family. And when her youngest aunt, Neela, is kidnapped by goblins, Lou discovers just how real and dangerous the market is.
To save her, both May and Lou will have to confront their family’s past and what happened all those years ago. But everything—from the food and wares, to the goblins themselves—is a haunting temptation for any human who manages to
find their way in. And if Lou isn’t careful, she could end up losing herself to the market too.
Poppy Pullman has her life all planned out. Her social media is carefully curated.
Her list of extracurriculars is flawless. All so she can achieve her ultimate goal: Stanford. Her best friends say she’s missing out. But Poppy’s playing a long game.
And the morning of her Stanford alumni interview, she’s positive everything is going to work out.
But …
Then she wakes up, the morning after her alumni interview, with a bump on her head and absolutely no memory of the last 24 hours. And it was apparently a really eventful 24 hours.
There’s a St. Bernard in the kitchen. There’s a shirtless Italian exchange student in the den. And worst of all, she’s locked out of her Instagram. Which the alumni interviewer needs to access … or her Stanford acceptance is in jeopardy.
So, Poppy—with help from her friends—has to race against the clock. They have to figure out what happened, in hopes of unlocking her Instagram account. But with every answer they get, more questions remain. Why did she get a haircut
and a new wardrobe? How does Jonah, the cute barista, fit into this? And what made this type-A planner finally decide to throw caution to the wind? As Poppy follows the clues, she realizes she had more fun in the last 24 hours than she’s had
in the past 18 years. And she’s starting to think that sometimes, the most lifechanging days … are the ones you never saw coming.
From Young-Adult author Nova McBee comes the third book in the gritty, action-filled Calculated series. After her exploits in Tunisia, Jo Rivers knows she’ll never lead a normal life. She also can’t move on until she grasps the unexpected evolution of her mathematical gift and confronts her unresolved feelings after meeting Noble. With Kai undercover, Noble is the only one who has the answers Jo needs. There’s just one small problem: Noble has vanished, leaving only a coded message in the stars. When Rafael, a friend from Jo’s days in China, goes missing, it coincides with a new PSS assignment involving a potentially catastrophic satellite breakdown. Jo suspects something more sinister is at play and has no choice but to track down Noble, who may be her only hope to find Rafael and prevent global chaos. Traveling to the perilous Arctic of Finland, Jo and her band of prodigies team up with unlikely allies from her past to find out what or who is interfering with the satellites—before it’s too late. Trusting her gift, Jo follows a path of numbers that light the way … which leads to answers she didn’t predict.
Sometimes our feelings are so big, our dreams and our worries so wide, that we can't find the words to express them. How MUCH love we feel; what a new sibling will bring; exactly what it's like to take a hard tumble, or to want the sun to shine on a rainy day. These thoughts and questions are explored by Hans and Monique Hagen in poems pitched perfectly to the children who wonder.
