Black Mirror meets Pretty Little Liars in this novel full of
action, suspense and hot romance. Now a major film on Amazon Prime
starring Emma Roberts, Dave Franco and Juliette Lewis! Are you
playing the game, or is the game playing you? A high-stakes online
game of dares turns deadly. Vee doesn't know if she has the guts to
play NERVE, an online game of high-stakes dares. With Ian on her
team, it's easy to agree to another dare. And another. And another.
At first it's thrilling, as the manipulative audience, or
'Watchers', cheer them on to riskier challenges. But things quickly
get out of hand. Just how far will Vee go before she loses NERVE?
Praise for Nerve: 'Ryan's story is thought-provoking and
unsettling...the ending goes off with a bang and a twist.'
Publishers Weekly 'Ryan questions the nature of entertainment and
explores the concept of privacy in a world of increasingly
sophisticated social media. Teens will find themselves drawn in by
the story's possibilities, and unNERVEd by its outcome. Give this
to Suzanne Collins's Hunger Games fans.' School Library Journal
'The commentary on today's life-as-public-spectacle society is
sound. The pacing is relentless, and readers will find themselves
flipping madly to the very last page.' Kirkus Reviews Also by

Sarah Bernhardt was a French stage actor who became a global
superstar in the late nineteenth century-the Lady Gaga of her
day-and is still considered to be one of the greatest performers of
all time. This fast-paced account of her life, filled with
provocative detail, brilliantly follows the transformation of a
girl of humble origins, born to a courtesan, into a fabulously
talented, wealthy, and beloved icon. Not only was her acting
trajectory remarkable, but her personal life was filled with
jaw-dropping exploits, and she was extravagantly eccentric, living
with a series of exotic animals and sleeping in a coffin. She grew
to be deeply admired around the world, despite her unabashed and
public promiscuity at a time when convention was king; she slept
with each of her leading men and proudly raised a son without a
husband. A fascinating and fast-paced deep dive into the world of
the divine Sarah. Illustrated with more than sixty-five photos of
Bernhardt on stage, in film, and in real life.
