Thirteen-year-old Juan's summer is off to a terrible start. First,
his parents separate. Then, almost as bad, Juan is sent away to his
strange Uncle Tito's house for the entire holiday! Who wants to
live with an oddball recluse who has zigzag eyebrows, drinks
fifteen cups of smoky tea a day, and lives inside a huge,
mysterious library? As Juan adjusts to his new life among
teetering, dusty shelves, he notices something odd: the books move
on their own! He rushes to tell Uncle Tito, who lets his nephew in
on a secret: Juan is a Princeps Reader, which means books respond
magically to him, and he's the only one who can find the elusive,
never-before-read Wild Book. An unforgettable adventure story about
books, libraries, and the power of reading.
A moving story of grief, friendship and unforgettable love that fans of Sara Bernard and Nicola Yoon will love from international YA bestselling author Jennifer Armentrout.
Lena has always felt immortal. But one night can change everything.
Lena and Sebastian have been close for as long as anyone can remember. Best friends, even. But secretly Lena has been wanting something more―Sebastian could be more than a friend, if only Lena could figure out how to convince him that they could, and should be together.
But in a single night, after a single party, everything changes and suddenly Lena isn’t thinking about her relationship with Sebastian at all.
Dylan has escaped a horrific train crash unscathed. Except she
hasn't. The bleak landscape around her isn't Scotland. It's a
wasteland haunted by wraiths searching for human souls. And the
stranger waiting for her isn't an ordinary boy. Tristan is a
Ferryman, tasked with transporting her soul safely to the
afterlife, a journey he's made a thousand times before. Except this
time, something's different. Torn between love and destiny, Dylan
realises she can't let Tristan go, nor can she stay with him.
Eventually, inevitably, the wraiths would capture her soul and she
would be lost forever. Can true love overcome the boundaries of
death? Ferryman is a thought-provoking and truly original story of
a love that refuses to be limited by death. This stunning,
award-winning debut novel is being reissued to coincide with the
publication of the eagerly-anticipated sequel, Trespassers.

School is tough enough without throwing a hijab into the mix...
Amal is a 16-year-old Melbourne teen with all the usual obsessions
about boys, exams, chocolate and magazines. She's also a Muslim,
struggling to honour the Islamic faith in a society that doesn't
understand it. The story of her decision to "shawl up" and its
attendant anxieties (like how much eyeliner to wear) is funny,
surprising and touching by turns. Exploring issues of faith and
identity with the lightest of touches, this is a joyful exploration
of what it means to be a Muslim teenager "...a bright, articulate
heroine true to herself and her faith. Abdel-Fattah's fine first
novel offers a world of insight..." Kirkus Reviews Look out for
Randa Abdel-Fattah's other books: Ten Things I Hate About Me and
Where the Streets had a name
