An action-packed eco-thriller for 11+ readers from award-winning
children's author, Victoria Williamson. On a remote Scottish
island, fourteen-year-old Max's life changes forever when he loses
his hearing in a boating accident. Struggling to make sense of his
new life and finding it hard to adapt in school, he begins to
notice other - even stranger - changes taking place when a new wind
farm appears off the island's coast. With the help of three school
friends with additional support needs, Max discovers that a
sinister scientist, Doctor Ashwood, is using wind turbines to
experiment on the islanders. They must find a way to shut down the
government's secret test before it spins out of control...
Saints and Misfits-a William C. Morris Award finalist and an
Entertainment Weekly Best YA Book of the Year-is a "timely and
authentic" (School Library Journal, starred review) debut novel
that feels like a modern day My So-Called Life...starring a Muslim
teen. There are three kinds of people in my world: 1. Saints, those
special people moving the world forward. Sometimes you glaze over
them. Or, at least, I do. They're in your face so much, you can't
see them, like how you can't see your nose. 2. Misfits, people who
don't belong. Like me-the way I don't fit into Dad's brand-new
family or in the leftover one composed of Mom and my older brother,
Mama's-Boy-Muhammad. Also, there's Jeremy and me. Misfits. Because
although, alliteratively speaking, Janna and Jeremy sound good
together, we don't go together. Same planet, different worlds. But
sometimes worlds collide and beautiful things happen, right? 3.
Monsters. Well, monsters wearing saint masks, like in Flannery
O'Connor's stories. Like the monster at my mosque. People think
he's holy, untouchable, but nobody has seen under the mask. Except
me.

It Ends is the story of a friendship from first meeting to breakup,
set against a tumultuous sophomore year of bullying, boys, and
backstabbing. Catherine Lo makes her debut with an honest, nuanced
tale about the intricacies of female friendship.
