Feisty Rose takes center stage as the highly original Casson family
faces a long, hot summer.
As usual, things are a bit chaotic. Eldest daughter Caddy is
engaged to darling Michael, and she's not altogether sure she likes
it. Saffy and Sarah are on a mission to find Saffy's biological
father (while cultivating hearts of stone). Indigo is cautiously
beginning a friendship with a reformed bully, who desperately wants
to feel like part of the Casson family. Rose, while dreadfully
missing Tom (whom none of them have heard from), enters into a life
of petty crime, shoplifting small items until her misadventures
nearly bring disaster. Through it all, Rose's single-minded
determination to find Tom remains as fierce as it is hopeless. Or
is it?

When Texas oilman Sidney B. Schlatz finds that he cannot launch his
plain daughter into the higher echelons of New York's debutante
scene, he decides to go over the heads of the doyennes of American
Society and give a lavish international ball in Paris. The pitfalls
there are as varied as they are unexpected, as his ambitions
encounter a cross-section of European society as difficult as any
he met in New York. With hilarious consequences, his plan for the
"I Love Paris Ball" combines characters from cultures totally
incomprehensible to each other. Among them are would-be movie star
Tina, Hollywood producer Sam Kraznik, a royal prince, high-life
seeker Clarky Finch III, a financially embarrassed duke fleeing the
tax man, smooth art dealers, a certain British rock band, a
questionable arms dealer, a charming heroine, the eccentric
denizens of a village in Normandy, and the destiny-changing
presence of a little white dog.
Perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Sarah Dessen, this romantic and layered Own Voices debut from Abigail Hing Wen is a dazzling, fun-filled romp.
“Our cousins have done this program,” Sophie whispers. “Best kept secret. Zero supervision.”
And just like that, Ever Wong’s summer takes an unexpected turn. Gone is Chien Tan, the strict educational program in Taiwan that Ever was expecting. In its place, she finds Loveboat: a summer-long free-for-all where hookups abound, adults turn a blind eye, and the nightlife runs nonstop.
But not every student is quite what they seem:
Ever is working toward becoming a doctor but nurses a secret passion for dance.
Rick Woo is the Yale-bound child prodigy bane of Ever’s existence whose perfection hides a secret.
Boy-crazy, fashion-obsessed Sophie Ha turns out to have more to her than meets the eye.
And under sexy Xavier Yeh’s shell is buried a shameful truth he’ll never admit.
When these students’ lives collide, it’s guaranteed to be a summer Ever will never forget!
From the bestselling and award-winning author of Felix Ever After
comes a heart-melting and joyful romance. Maybe it's too late to
tell them how I really feel. That I've had these feelings for
months, for years . . . Lark Winters wants to be a writer, and for
now that means posting anything and everything on their social
media accounts - just to build their platform. When former best
friend Kasim accidentally posts a thread on Lark's Twitter
declaring his love for a secret, unrequited crush, Lark's tweets
are suddenly the talk of the school. To protect Kasim, Lark decides
to take the fall, pretending they accidentally posted the thread in
reference to another classmate. It seems like a great idea: Lark
finally gets the courage to ask out their crush, Kasim keeps his
privacy and Lark's social media stats explode. But living a lie
takes a toll - as does the judgement of thousands of Internet
strangers. Lark tries their best to be perfect at all costs, but
nothing seems good enough for the anonymous hordes - or for Kasim,
who is growing closer to Lark, just like it used to be between them
. . . In the end, Lark must embrace their right to their messy
emotions and learn how to be in love. 'A hilarious and bold love
story for the ages.' Mason Deaver, bestselling author of I Wish You
All the Best 'Fresh and necessary.' The Horn Book Magazine
'Callender proffers complex perspectives on activism, bullying,
respectability politics, and polyamory via a queer, socially
conscious cast.' Publishers Weekly
