Book Description
At Hawthorne High, blending in is practically a survival tactic. But for Ember Moore, standing out is a lifestyle. With her goth vibes, jet-black hair, and combat boots, she’s not here to play by anyone else’s rules. Her dream? Investigative journalism. Her reality? Navigating a school obsessed with cliques and status, where friends are few, and going solo is the only way she rolls. Enter Brady Watson. New guy, star athlete, and way too charming for his own good. He’s got the school wrapped around his finger—except for Ember, whose ‘I-don’t-care’ attitude makes her even more of a mystery. Brady’s used to winning, but breaking through Ember’s walls? That’s a whole new challenge. When Brady discovers that Ember’s sister, Willow, is off-limits to dating until Ember finds a boyfriend, he comes up with a wild plan: a fake relationship. It’s the perfect setup to help his friend Keith get closer to Willow. Ember’s all in—after all, what’s the harm in pretending? But lines blur fast, and for Brady, this fake relationship is feeling a lot more real than he expected. The question is, will Ember let down her guard and risk it all, or will she keep her distance and stick to flying solo? The Goth Girl and the Jock is a story about breaking stereotypes, unexpected connections, and realizing that sometimes, the person who challenges you the most is the one worth letting in.

After a close encounter with a bus, Alona Dare goes from homecoming queen to Queen of the Dead.

To make matters worse, the only person who might be able to help her is Will Killian, a total loser outcast. More than anything, Will wishes he didn’t have the rare ability to communicate with the dead, especially the former mean girl of Groundsboro High. He’s not filling out any volunteer forms to help her cross to the other side, though it would bring him some welcome peace and quiet.

Book Description
We’re all hungry—hungry to look good, feel worthy, be loved, and fit in. Our hungers are deep and insatiable. We try to fill up by using food, alcohol, drugs, sex, relationships, careers, or money. No matter what we look like or where we came from, we all share the same intense need to fill up on life, but not many of us know how. A Very Hungry Girl chronicles the journey of Jessica Weiner, who spent most of her life hungering to be someone else. She was so desperate to be accepted and valued that she spiraled into an eating disorder, experiencing the attendant lack of self-esteem that rules—and almost ruined—her life. This compelling book relates Jessica's very personal story, and also captures her unique persona as she travels the country as a performer and motivational speaker listening to thousands of other people's stories. Through her work, Jessica has become the voice of her generation and speaks with a relatable and realistic point of view. Jessica's work has received national attention by The Washington Post, CNN, MTV and Teen People Magazine.

Book Description
Fanboy has never had it good, but lately his sophomore year is turning out to be its own special hell. The bullies have made him their favorite target, his best (and only) friend seems headed for the dark side (sports and popularity), and his pregnant mother and the step-fascist are eagerly awaiting the birth of the alien life form known as Fanboy's new little brother or sister. Fanboy, though, has a secret: a graphic novel he's been working on without telling anyone, a graphic novel that he is convinced will lead to publication, fame, and--most important of all--a way out of the crappy little town he lives in and all the people that make it hell for him. When Fanboy meets Kyra, a.k.a. Goth Girl, he finds an outrageous, cynical girl who shares his love of comics as well as his hatred for jocks and bullies. Fanboy can't resist someone who actually seems to understand him, and soon he finds himself willing to heed her advice--to ignore or crush anyone who stands in his way.
