“A twisty, deeply satisfying ride.†—Sara Shepard, #1 New
York Times bestselling author of Pretty Little Liars In this dark
academia young adult thriller for fans of The Female of the Species
and People Like Us, a teen girl’s search for answers about her
mother’s mysterious death leads to a powerful secret society at
her new boarding school—and a dangerous game of revenge that will
leave her forever changed. Six years ago, Calliope Bolan’s mother
drove the family van into a lake with her three daughters inside.
The girls escaped, but their mother drowned, and the truth behind
the “accident†remains a mystery Calliope is determined to
solve. Now sixteen, she transfers to Tipton Academy, the same elite
boarding school her mother once attended. Tipton promises a peek
into the past and a host of new opportunities—including a coveted
invitation to join Haunt and Rail, an exclusive secret society that
looms over campus like a legend. Calliope accepts, stepping into
the exhilarating world of the “ghosts,†a society of
revolutionaries fighting for social justice. But when Haunt and
Rail commits to exposing a dangerous person on campus, it becomes
clear that some ghosts define justice differently than others. As
the society’s tactics escalate, Calliope uncovers a possible link
between Haunt and Rail and her mother’s deadly crash. Now, she
must question what lengths the society might go to in order to see
a victory—and if the secret behind her mother’s death could be
buried here at Tipton.

culprit and saving Beatle before it’s too late—this

Being yourself should never come at this price. Joseph is the son anyone would wish to have—anyone except his pastor father, that is. Joseph is gay, and where he comes from, his sexual orientation makes him a pariah. Tormented by the incorrigible denizens of his unprogressive Southern town, Joseph finds himself desperate for support from other members of the LGBT community. He turns to the internet with the hope of finding it, and, unexpectedly, Joseph finds more. Bruce. An unlikely virtual friendship between Joseph and Bruce grows into something more, leading to a seemingly fated meeting. Joseph’s future suddenly looks brighter than ever, but no one could’ve ever predicted what would transpire after the two finally meet.
The Awesome Women series: Activists: Determination box set features
three board books to inspire young readers to be anything they want
to be. Each story pays tribute to an awesome female activist by
recounting her struggles and challenges, and detailing her success.
Each female activist is brought to life through interesting nuggets
of information, such as the fact that Malala Yousafzai fought for
girls' education even when her life was threatened, that Melinda
Gates almost worked at another company before joining Microsoft,
and that Michelle Yeoh relied on her ballet experience to perform
fighting scenes? Readers will also have fun searching for Andrea
and Beth hidden in the illustrations!
