Climbing to the top of the social ladder is hard--falling from
it is even harder. Regina Afton used to be a member of the
"Fearsome Fivesome," an all-girl clique both feared and revered by
the students at Hallowell High... until vicious rumors about her
and her best friend's boyfriend start going around. Now Regina's
been "frozen out" and her ex-best friends are out for revenge. If
Regina was guilty, it would be one thing, but the rumors are far
from the terrifying truth and the bullying is getting more intense
by the day. She takes solace in the company of Michael Hayden, a
misfit with a tragic past who she herself used to bully. Friendship
doesn't come easily for these onetime enemies, and as Regina works
hard to make amends for her past, she realizes Michael could be
"more" than just a friend... if threats from the "Fearsome
Foursome" don't break them both first.

It will haunt you long after you reach the final page.

In a one-of-a-kind collaboration, seventeen of the most recognizable YA writers-including Shaun David Hutchinson, Neal and Brendan Shusterman, and Beth Revis-come together to share the viewpoints of a group of students affected by a school shooting. It took only twenty-two minutes for Kirby Matheson to exit his car, march onto the school grounds, enter the gymnasium, and open fire, killing six and injuring five others. But this isn't a story about the shooting itself. This isn't about recounting that one unforgettable day. This is about one boy, who had friends, enjoyed reading, playing saxophone in the band, and had never been in trouble before-became a monster capable of entering his school with a loaded gun and firing bullets at his classmates. Each chapter is told from a different victim's viewpoint, giving insight into who Kirby was and who he'd become. Some are sweet, some are dark; some are seemingly unrelated, about fights or first kisses or late-night parties. This is a book told from multiple perspectives-with one character and one event drawing them all together-by some of YA's most recognizable names.
From the author of "Cracked Up to Be" and "Some Girls Are" comes a gripping story about one girl's search for clues into the mysterious death of her father. When Eddie Reeves's father commits suicide her life is consumed by the nagging question of "why"? "Why" when he was a legendary photographer and a brilliant teacher? "Why" when he seemed to find inspiration in everything he saw? And, most important, "why" when he had a daughter who loved him more than anyone else in the world? When she meets Culler Evans, a former student of her father's and a photographer himself, an instant and dangerous attraction begins. Culler seems to know more about her father than she does and could possibly hold the key to the mystery surrounding his death. But Eddie's vulnerability has weakened her and Culler Evans is getting too close. Her need for the truth keeps her hanging on...but are some questions better left unanswered?
Courtney Summers fans are in for a treat! Two of her most critically acclaimed titles bound together for the price of one. In Cracked Up To Be, Perfect Parker Fadley isn't so perfect anymore. She's quit the cheerleading squad, she's dumped her perfect boyfriend, and she's failing school. Her parents are on a constant suicide watch and her counsellors think she's playing games...but what they don't know, the real reason for this whole mess, is that a horrible thing has happened and it just might be her fault. In Some Girls Are, climbing to the top of the social ladder is hard - falling from it is even harder. Regina Afton used to be a member of the Fearsome Fivesome. And just like the other members of this all girl clique, she was both feared and revered by the students of Hallowell High...that is until vicious rumours about her and her best friend's boyfriend start going around.
