'Hard-hitting, heartbreaking and hopeful, We Are Young is a must read.' SARAH CROSSAN
An unforgettable story from the queen of emotional suspense, for fans of Jodi Picoult, Megan Abbott and Courtney Summers.
It starts with a wedding. And a car crash.
On the same night Evan's mother marries local radio DJ 'Breakfast Tim', Evan's brand-new step-brother Lewis is found unconscious and terribly injured, the only survivor of a horrific car crash.
A media storm erupts, with the finger of blame pointed firmly at loner stoner Lewis. Everyone else seems to think the crash was drugs-related, but Evan isn't buying it. With the help of her journalist dad, Harry, she decides to find out what really happened that night.
As Evan delves deeper into the lives of the three teenagers who died in the crash, she uncovers some disturbing truths and a secret that threatens to tear her family - and the community - apart.

Coming of age against all odds in the midst of the Arab Spring.
Growing up in East Aleppo, Yara's childhood has long been shadowed
by the coming revolution. But when the Arab Spring finally arrives
at Yara's doorstep, it is worse than even her Nana imagined:
sudden, violent, and deadly. When rescuers dig Yara out from under
the rubble that was once her family's home, she emerges to a
changed world. Her parents and Nana are gone, and her brother,
Saad, can't speak-struck silent by everything he's seen. Now, with
her friend Shireen and Shireen's charismatic brother, Ali, Yara
must try to find a way to safety. With danger around every corner,
Yara is pushed to her limits as she discovers how far she'll go for
her loved ones-and for a chance for freedom. Crafted through the
focused lens of Jamal Saeed's own experiences in Syria and brought
to life with acclaimed author Sharon E. McKay, Yara's Spring is a
story of coming of age against all odds and the many kinds of love
that bloom even in the face of war.

reminds her she is real. Even more, Anke loves the confidence that
she gets from the sport. And as she learns to call for the ball on
the court, she finds a voice she never knew she had. For the first
time, Anke is making herself seen and heard, working toward the day
she will be able to speak up loud enough to rescue everyone at
home-- including herself.
