Book Description
Dash Durham is a card-carrying catastrophizer. She’s also an introverted freshman with Social Anxiety Disorder who’s more likely to be found hyperventilating—or worse, hurling—in the spotlight rather than basking in it. When the Queen Bee of their year cancels her after a social media fiasco, Dash finds herself Public Enemy #1 in a hostile new school and facing a mandatory speech class she will never survive. To add insult to injury, she’s the victim of arrested development, her only friend thinks she’s somebody else (it’s complicated), and her crush—perfect, wonderful, dazzling Rafe—treats her like a kid. But it’s not just school that’s bringing the stress. Her family of overachieving superstars will surely freak if they discover she’s an Epic Fail, so Dash vows to rewire her brain for success with nothing but a self-help book and sheer determination. Things get real when she risks everything to grab the brass ring of her dreams . . . only to plummet into her worst nightmare. With her nemesis poised to crush her in front of 400 jeering freshmen, Dash must confront her deepest fears to seize the day, clinch the prize, and win the boy. Will it be her greatest triumph or her ultimate downfall? Win or lose, Dash Durham is about to learn that true courage isn’t measured in inches but in resolve, and one thing is certain: "Though she be but little, she is fierce." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Little But Fierce is an inspiring tale for anyone who has ever felt too small to make a difference. Every reader will find a piece of themselves, whether in the wit and determination of Dash, the complexity of adolescent emotions, or the universal quest for acceptance while embracing one’s unique self. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Humorous and poignant, Little But Fierce, is perfect for readers who enjoy: - Contemporary teen romances - Pathos and humor - Stories they don’t want to end - Complex emotional YA experiences - A feisty underdog who dares to rock the boat - Heroines like Anne Shirley (Anne of Green Gables), Mia Thermopolis (The Princess Diaries), and Georgia Nicholson (Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging) - The writing of Meg Cabot, Jenny Han, Ali Hazelwood, Lynn Painter, Louise Rennison If you like a scrappy underdog, a sweet romance, and self-improvement with a comic twist, then you’ll love Gigi Lain’s humorous coming-of-age novel.

Book Description
“A Secret History-esque tale...All the ingredients for the perfect summer read.” —The Millions “Captivating, thoughtful, and tense, a great read for those who enjoy psychological thrillers and complex puzzles. Highly recommended.” —New York Journal Review of Books “It’s time to come Home. All five of you. Or else.” Saskia was a damaged, lonely teenager when she arrived at the lakeside commune called Home. She was entranced by the tang of sourdough starter; the midnight call of the loons; the triumph of foraging wild mushrooms from the forest floor. But most of all she was taken with Abraham, Home's charismatic leader, the North Star to Saskia and the four other teens who lived there, her best and only friends. Two decades later, Saskia is shuttered in her Connecticut estate, estranged from the others. Her carefully walled life is torn open by threatening letters. Unless she and her former friends return to the land in rural Maine, the terrible thing they did as teenagers—their last-ditch attempt to save Home—will be revealed. From vastly different lives, the five return to confront their blackmailer and reckon with the horror that split them apart. How far will they go to bury their secret forever? New York Times bestselling author Miranda Beverly-Whittemore’s Fierce Little Thing is a mesmerizing story of friendship and its reckonings.

If Fancy Nancy got angry. Really, really angry. Millie is quiet. Millie is sweet. Millie is mild. But the kids at school don't listen to her.

A Fierce and Subtle Poison
Author: Samantha Mabry
Publisher: Algonquin Books
ISBN: 1616206748
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
SPECIAL PREVIEW! In this stunning debut, legends collide with reality when a boy is swept into the magical, dangerous world of a girl filled with poison. Everyone knows the legends about the cursed girl--Isabel, the one the senoras whisper about. They say she has green skin and grass for hair, and she feeds on the poisonous plants that fill her family’s Caribbean island garden. Some say she can grant wishes; some say her touch can kill. Seventeen-year-old Lucas lives on the mainland most of the year but spends summers with his hotel-developer father in Puerto Rico. He’s grown up hearing stories about the cursed girl, and he wants to believe in Isabel and her magic. When letters from Isabel begin mysteriously appearing in his room the same day his new girlfriend disappears, Lucas turns to Isabel for answers--and finds himself lured into her strange and enchanted world. But time is running out for the girl filled with poison, and the more entangled Lucas becomes with Isabel, the less certain he is of escaping with his own life. A Fierce and Subtle Poison beautifully blends magical realism with a page-turning mystery and a dark, starcrossed romance--all delivered in lush, urgent prose. “A breathtaking story in which myths come to frightening life and buried wishes might actually come true. This is a hypnotic debut by a remarkable talent.” —Nova Ren Suma, author of The Walls Around Us and Imaginary Girls
