"Get ready to be transported to Paris in Taylor's incredible debut
novel."-Seventeen, Editor's Choice Code Name Verity meets Jennifer
Donnelly's Revolution in this gripping debut novel, now in
paperback with a teaser to Jordyn Taylor's next fast-paced
historical YA novel, Don't Breathe a Word NOW: Sixteen-year-old
Alice is spending the summer in Paris, but she isn't there for
pastries and walks along the Seine. When her grandmother passed
away two months ago, she left Alice an apartment in France that no
one knew existed. An apartment that has been locked for more than
seventy years. Alice is determined to find out why the apartment
was abandoned and why her grandmother never once mentioned the
family she left behind when she moved to America after World War
II. With the help of Paul, a charming Parisian student, she sets
out to uncover the truth. However, the more time she spends digging
through the mysteries of the past, the more she realizes there are
secrets in the present that her family is still refusing to talk
about. THEN: Sixteen-year-old Adalyn doesn't recognize Paris
anymore. Everywhere she looks, there are Nazis, and every day
brings a new horror of life under the Occupation. When she meets
Luc, the dashing and enigmatic leader of a resistance group, Adalyn
feels she finally has a chance to fight back. But keeping up the
appearance of being a much-admired socialite while working to
undermine the Nazis is more complicated than she could have
imagined. As the war goes on, Adalyn finds herself having to make
more and more compromises-to her safety, to her reputation, and to
her relationships with the people she loves the most.

in secrecy and the girl who will do anything to right the
institution's wrongs." -Jessica Goodman, Indiebound bestselling

Taylor weaves an addictive thriller perfect for fans of Truly
Devious. Eva has never felt like she belonged . . . not in her own
family or with her friends in New York City, and certainly not at a
fancy boarding school like Hardwick Preparatory Academy. So, when
she is invited to join the Fives, an elite secret society, she
jumps at the opportunity to finally be a part of something. But
what if the Fives are about more than just having the best parties
and receiving special privileges from the school? What if they are
also responsible for keeping some of Hardwick's biggest secrets
buried? 1962: There is only one reason why Connie would volunteer
to be one of the six students to participate in testing Hardwick's
nuclear fallout shelter: Craig Allenby. While the thought of
nuclear war sends her into a panic, she can't pass up the
opportunity to spend four days locked in with the school's golden
boy. However, Connie and the other students quickly discover that
there is more to this "test" than they previously thought. As they
are forced to follow an escalating series of commands, Connie
realizes that one wrong move could have dangerous consequences.
Separated by sixty years, Eva and Connie's stories become
inextricably intertwined as Eva unravels the mystery of how six
students went into the fallout shelter all those years ago . . .
but only five came out.
