Book Description
It's 1940, and Jack Kelly isn't your typical hero figure. He's an FBI agent, but he's also a drinker, womanizer, and dirty talker. He isn't well-liked at the bureau, even though, with a law degree, he's over-qualified. He doesn't listen to his superiors; he doesn't even like his superiors, but putting up with them is all part of the job. When he's sent to Hawaii to look into Japanese activity, he goes because it's what Washington tells him to do. It's suspected that the Japanese have sent spies into Hawaii to cause trouble. The spies operate like a gang, threatening violence and death to anyone in their way-and Kelly is prepared to get in their way. Although not keen on the boys in Washington, Kelly is a patriot. As his investigation delves deeper, he runs into a mysterious and beautiful woman who charms him from the start. But is she in Hawaii with ulterior motives? Soon, the lady becomes Public Enemy Number One. She is suspected of assassinating a witness-a witness who could have brought down the destructive spies from Japan. Kelly is the FBI's only hope. In order to find the truth, he might have to break some hearts ... and some bones. But is this devil-may-care agent really fighting a battle against foreign aggressors-or his own pride?

The Devil Wears Prada meets Far from the Tree in #1 New York Times bestselling author Kelly Yang’s powerful love story about two teens searching for their place in the world. Serene dreams of making couture dresses even more stunning than her mom’s, but for now she’s an intern at her mom’s fashion label. When her mom receives a sudden diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, all that changes. Serene has to take over her mother’s business overnight while trying to figure out what happened with her dad in Beijing. He left before she was born, and Serene wants to find him, even if it means going against her mom’s one request—never look back. Lian Chen moved from China to Serene’s mostly white Southern California beach town a year ago. He doesn’t fit in at school, where kids mispronounce his name. His parents don’t care about what he wants to do—comedy—and push him toward going to MIT engineering early. Lian thinks there’s nothing to stick around for until one day he starts a Chinese Club after school . . . and Serene walks in. Worlds apart in the high school hierarchy, Serene and Lian soon find refuge in each other, falling in love as they navigate life-changing storms. * Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection *
