This is no ordinary apocalypse... Hannah wakes up to silence. The
entire city around her is empty, except for one other person: Leo.
Stuck with only each other, they explore a world with no parents,
no friends, and no school and realise that they can be themselves,
instead of playing the parts everyone expects of them. Together,
they search for answers amid crushing isolation. But while their
empty world may appear harmless . . . it's not. Because nothing is
quite as it seems, and if Hannah and Leo don't figure out what's
going on, they might just be torn apart forever. "[...] achingly
real characters, off-the-charts romantic chemistry, and a shocking
twist you won't see coming" Abigail Johnson, author of Every Other
Weekend A stunning YA debut, perfect for fans of Adam Silvera.
Intensely moving and wonderfully romantic. An apocalypse story like
no other with a jaw-dropping twist.
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. Alexandrea Petrakova Johnson does
not want to be a beautiful ballerina, and she does not want to
leave her friends in Apple Creek. Unfortunately, that doesn't stop
her ballet-crazy mother from moving them to Harlem, or from
enrolling Al at the Nutcracker School of Ballet. Life is hard when
you're the new ballerina on the block, and it's even harder when
you're chosen to be the Sugar Plum Fairy in the school recital!
Al's ballet classmates are going to have to use all the plum power
they've got to coach this scary fairy!

The first book in Scott Westerfeld's international bestselling series,
Uglies!
Tally lives in a world where your sixteenth birthday brings aesthetic
perfection: an operation which erases all your flaws, transforming you
from an 'Ugly' into a 'Pretty'. She is on the eve of this important
event, and cannot wait for her life to change. As well as guaranteeing
supermodel looks, life as a Pretty seems to revolve around having a
good time. But then she meets Shay, who is also fifteen - but with a
very different outlook on life. Shay isn't sure she wants to be Pretty
and plans to escape to a community in the forest - the Rusty Ruins -
where Uglies go to escape ' turning'. Tally won't be persuaded to join
her, as this would involve sacrificing everything she's ever wanted for
a lot of uncertainty.
When she is taken in for questioning on her birthday, however, Tally
gets sent to the Ruins anyway - against her will. The authorities offer
Tally the worst choice she could ever imagine: find her friend Shay and
turn her in, or never turn Pretty at all. What she discovers in the
Ruins reveals that there is nothing 'pretty' about the
transformations... And the choice Tally makes will change her world
forever.
HEIR OF STORMS is an epic romantasy in the style of TWIN CROWNS and early Sarah J. Maas with a touch of THE HUNGER GAMES. I am the girl who wove the storm that shook the world. And I’m coming for my crown. When Blaze came into the world, she almost drowned it. Blaze, a Rain Singer, is born into one of the most powerful fire-wielding families in the empire. Her birth summoned a devastating storm that resulted in the deaths of thousands, and she has spent her life as an outsider, reviled and feared. When Blaze and her twin brother, Flint, are selected to compete in the Choosing Rite, the trials which decide the future rulers of the empire, she’s suddenly thrust into the limelight – and into battle. Threats abound at the Golden Palace, where intrigue and romance await with not one but two handsome suitors: the enchanting Crown Prince and a dangerously alluring newcomer at court. As her powers strengthen and her fellow competitors fall, the throne is suddenly within her grasp. But in order to take the crown, she’ll have to leave behind the stories that others have told about her and find the courage to write her own.
