Red Queen meets The Hunger Games in this epic novel about what happens when a senator's daughter is summoned to the galactic court as a hostage, but she's really the galaxy's most dangerous weapon in disguise.
A Diabolic is ruthless. A Diabolic is powerful. A Diabolic has a single task: Kill in order to protect the person you've been created for.
Nemesis is a Diabolic, a humanoid teenager created to protect a galactic senator's daughter, Sidonia. The two have grown up side by side, but are in no way sisters. Nemesis is expected to give her life for Sidonia, and she would do so gladly. She would also take as many lives as necessary to keep Sidonia safe.
When the power-mad Emperor learns Sidonia's father is participating in a rebellion, he summons Sidonia to the Galactic court. She is to serve as a hostage. Now, there is only one way for Nemesis to protect Sidonia. She must become her. Nemesis travels to the court disguised as Sidonia--a killing machine masquerading in a world of corrupt politicians and two-faced senators' children. It's a nest of vipers with threats on every side, but Nemesis must keep her true abilities a secret or risk everything.
As the Empire begins to fracture and rebellion looms closer, Nemesis learns there is something more to her than just deadly force. She finds a humanity truer than what she encounters from most humans. Amidst all the danger, action, and intrigue, her humanity just might be the thing that saves her life--and the empire.
A bittersweet, funny, sad story of friendship, first love, and
heartache, all rolled into one spellbinding tale, from a stunning
debut novelist. For fans of John Green, Rainbow Rowell and E.
Lockhart. Henry Page, a hopeless romantic and film buff, is smitten
as soon as Grace Town walks into his classroom. But Grace - who
looks in need of a good bath, is dressed in guy's clothing, and
walks with a cane - is unlike any leading lady he's ever obsessed
over. And when Henry and Grace are both offered positions as
editors of their high school newspaper, the mystery of Grace begins
to captivate him. Why does she visit a graveyard every afternoon?
What secret does she keep locked away in her bedroom? Above all,
why is Grace Town so deeply sad? Before he knows it, Henry is sure
that he is the one to unlock her happiness. But Grace is
capricious, changeable, infuriating, and, above all, damaged. Henry
will need to be the strongest he has ever been to survive this
particular love story.

At the Nutcracker School of Ballet in Harlem, young dancers learn
to chasse, plie, and jete with their Sugar Plum Sisters-but things
don't always go to plan! As the girls encounter challenges both on
and off stage, they'll need the support of their classmates to
carry them through with aplomb. Brenda Black prides herself on her
logical and orderly mind. She studies anatomy books and idolizes
Leonardo da Vinci. But things go haywire when her spoiled cousin
Tiffany comes to visit. Fed up with Tiffany's bragging, Brenda
snaps when Tiffany implies that Brenda is not cultured enough to
know who Miss Camilla Freeman is-Miss Camilla Freeman, the very
famous prima ballerina. Brenda tells Tiffany that not only does she
know who Camilla Freeman is, but she happens to own an autographed
pair of her toeshoes. The problem? Those shoes actually belong to
Ms. Debbe, the headmistress of the Nutcracker School! Brenda's
anatomy books might get her into medical school one day, but they
can't get her off of this ballet slipper-y slope-for that, she'll
need the help of her Sugar Plum Sisters!
Now a major Nexflix film. A heartbreaking story from Marc Klein
perfect for fans of If I Stay and Five Feet Apart. After bouncing
around in foster homes for most of her childhood,
seventeen-year-old Tessa Jacobs doesn't believe she deserves love -
not from her adoptive parents, and certainly not from anyone at
school. But everything changes when she has a chance encounter with
Skylar, a senior from a neighboring town who's a true romantic.
Their budding relationship quickly leads to the kind of passion you
only see in the movies. As her heart begins to open, Tessa starts
to believe she might be deserving of love after all. When tragedy
strikes, Tessa wakes up alone in a hospital room with no memory of
how she got there. And then she learns the horrifying news: Skylar
is dead. As Tessa searches for answers, Skylar's spirit reaches out
to her from the other side. Desperate to see him one last time,
Tessa must race against the clock to uncover the shocking truth of
their relationship - a truth that might just lead to the afterlife
itself. "This story and Marc had such a big impact on me. Somehow
my heart breaks and swells all at the same time while reading this.
A powerful telling of love and loss." - Joey King, star and
producer of The In Between

16 years old and the star of one of the most popular TV shows ever.
She has millions of fans and is the face of a hugely successful
merchandising empire. But having had too much too young, Paloma is
growing into a notorious brat and beginning to behave really badly:
inappropriate boyfriends, drunken incidents, suggestive photos on
the internet. The resulting bad publicity could mean the end of the
show and with that the end of the lavish lifestyles her family -
and her agent - have grown accustomed to. Then her agent bumps into
16 year old Oona Giness in a coffee shop and, struck by the
resemblance, decides to switch Oona for Paloma and trick the
wayward brat into going off to a boot camp in the desert which he
hopes will sort her out. Oona, who lives with her depressed dad in
a run-down apartment block, agrees to the deal in the hope that
it'll turn her life around. She quickly discovers that Hollywood is
not for her, but Hollywood much prefers the new Paloma to the old
one! And when Paloma finds out she's been tricked, she breaks out
of the camp and heads for home - and revenge.

thinks she knows isn't the one before her now-this Mac is rattled

consuming antique records and corner-shop provisions, Tegan and Mac
cast aside their public personas and family pressures long enough
to forge an unexpectedly charged bond and-in the very spot in New
Jersey that inspired Edison's boldest creations-totally reinvent
themselves. But could Tegan's most shameful secret destroy what
they've built?Emotionally vivid and endlessly charming, Maybe We're

conversation she wasn't supposed to. Now on the wrong side of one
of the meanest girls in school, Claudia doesn't know what to expect

they're both forced to try out for the school production of A
Midsummer Night's Dream. But mandatory participation has its
upsides - namely, an unexpected friendship, a boy-band obsession,
and a guy with the best dimpled smile Claudia's ever seen. As
Claudia's world starts to expand, she finds that maybe there are
some things worth sticking her neck out for.
The New York Times and internationally bestselling love story from Nicola Yoon, author of Everything, Everything.
Natasha: I'm a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. I'm definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when my family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won't be my story.
Daniel: I've always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents' high expectations. Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when I see her, I forget about all that. Something about Natasha makes me think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store-for both of us.
The Universe: Every moment in our lives has brought us to this single moment. A million futures lie before us. Which one will come true?
