'This summer's must read' - The Times ‘An irresistible account of
female friendship … Nobody describes the strength, pain and
comedy of being young as elegantly and eloquently as Meg Rosoff’
– Amanda Craig ‘A wonderful, captivating writer’ – Daily
Telegraph __________________ From the incomparable Meg Rosoff,
bestselling author of How I Live Now and The Great Godden, comes an
alluring coming-of-age tale about the summer that changes
everything. New York City. June, 1982. When eighteen-year-old Beth
arrives in Manhattan for a prestigious journalism internship,
everything feels brand new – and not always in a good way. A
cockroach-infested sublet and a disaffected roommate are the least
of her worries, and she soon finds herself caught up with her
fellow interns – preppy Oliver, ruthless Dan and ridiculously
cool, beautiful, wild Edie. Soon, Beth and Edie are best friends
– the sort of heady, all-consuming best-friendship that’s
impossible to resist. But with the mercury rising and deceit
mounting up, betrayal lies just around the corner. Who needs
enemies … when you have friends like these? From bestselling,
award-winning author Meg Rosoff comes a gritty, intoxicating novel
about a summer of unforgettable firsts: of independence, lies, love
and the inevitable loss of innocence. Sharp and irresistible, it's
perfect for fans of Sally Rooney’s Conversations with Friends and
Exciting Times by Naoise Dolan.
An awkward but handsome fifteen-year-old, Donnie Darning has a
brilliant mind but a dysfunctional family. His father is
overbearing, and his mother drowns her problems in alcohol.
Fortunately, his dismal world doesn't compare to the vast universe
he finds inside books, but he is tired of living life vicariously
through reading stories.
Josie Rosado changes all that. Beautiful and exotic, the
seventeen-year-old daughter of a Romani immigrant has just moved in
with her family next door to Donnie. Josie is charismatic and
worldly, a wonderful mystery to be solved, and Donnie is
immediately captivated by her spiritedness.
Josie shows Donnie how exciting the world can be, whether
they're flying kites in the park or having moonlit tete-a-tetes on
the roof. They soon become inseparable, living in their own bubble
of existence. But one day, they come home to find a Lincoln
Continental parked in Josie's driveway. Donnie discovers that Josie
has a secret, but can she trust him enough to reveal it? Donnie
must protect Josie, even if it destroys his family's good name-and
his life.

An instant New York Times bestseller! An Indie Next Top 10 Pick A
Parents' Choice Silver Honor Winner "A funny, action-packed, and
sweet romance." -School Library Journal (starred review) "A
phenomenal read." -RT Book Reviews A skilled painter must stand up
to the ancient power of the faerie courts-even as she falls in love
with a faerie prince-in this gorgeous bestseller that's "an ideal
pick for fans of Holly Black, Maggie Stiefvater, and Laini Taylor"
(Publishers Weekly, starred review). Isobel is an artistic prodigy
with a dangerous set of clients: the sinister fair folk, immortal
creatures who cannot bake bread or put a pen to paper without
crumbling to dust. They crave human Craft with a terrible thirst,
and Isobel's paintings are highly prized. But when she receives her
first royal patron-Rook, the autumn prince-she makes a terrible
mistake. She paints mortal sorrow in his eyes-a weakness that could
cost him his life. Furious, Rook spirits her away to his kingdom to
stand trial for her crime. But something is seriously wrong in his
world, and they are attacked from every side. With Isobel and Rook
depending on each other for survival, their alliance blossoms into
trust, then love-and that love violates the fair folks' ruthless
laws. Now both of their lives are forfeit, unless Isobel can use
her skill as an artist to fight the fairy courts. Because secretly,
her Craft represents a threat the fair folk have never faced in all
the millennia of their unchanging lives: for the first time, her
portraits have the power to make them feel.

Jenny's never had much time for boys, K-pop, or really anything
besides her dream of being a professional cellist. But when she
finds herself falling for a K-pop idol, she has to decide whether
their love is worth the risk. A modern forbidden romance wrapped in
the glamorous and exclusive world of K-pop, XOXO is perfect for
fans of Jenny Han and Maurene Goo. Jenny didn't get to be an
award-winning, classically trained cellist without choosing
practice over fun. That is, until the night she meets Jaewoo.
Mysterious, handsome, and just a little bit tormented, Jaewoo is
exactly the kind of distraction Jenny would normally avoid. And
yet, she finds herself pulled into spending an unforgettable
evening wandering Los Angeles with him on the night before his
flight home to South Korea. With Jaewoo an ocean away, there's no
use in dreaming of what could have been. But when Jenny and her
mother move to Seoul to take care of her ailing grandmother, who
does she meet at the elite arts academy she's just been accepted
to? Jaewoo. Finding the dreamy stranger who swept you off your feet
in your homeroom is one thing, but Jaewoo isn't just any student.
Turns out, Jaewoo is a member of one of the biggest K-pop bands in
the world. And like most K-pop idols, Jaewoo is strictly forbidden
from dating anyone. When a relationship means not only jeopardizing
her place at her dream music school but also endangering everything
Jaewoo's worked for, Jenny has to decide once and for all just how
much she's willing to risk for love. XOXO is a new romance that
proves chasing your dreams doesn't have to mean sacrificing your
heart, from acclaimed author Axie Oh. Indigo Best Teen Books of

The Penguin English Library Edition of Pride and Prejudice by Jane
Austen 'No sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends
that she had hardly a good feature in her face, than he began to
find it was rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful
expression of her dark eyes ...' When Elizabeth Bennet first meets
eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and
conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind.
When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the
troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved
sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In
the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the
folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the
friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.
The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in
English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to
the beginning of the First World War.
