The victim of a cyber-prank gone viral, Autumn was forced to
transfer schools not exactly what she wanted to do as a sophomore.
But what choice did she have when all her personal information was
posted all over the web? When threatening comments started to
trickle in, the police said her only chance to avoid stalkers was
to move schools and start over. Determined to make the best of her
situation, Autumn realized that she had been given an opportunity
to reinvent herself; to become the outgoing, popular,
not-at-all-shy girl she'd always wanted to be. But even the best
plans go awry. As soon as Autumn arrives at her new school, she
meets Maurice a bully of monumental proportions who makes life
miserable for everyone. Things seem to be looking up when Autumn
learns that her best friend Sophie Rose is transferring to her new
school, too but then Sophie starts keeping her distance. Bullied at
school and online, adrift without the support of her best friend,
Autumn believes she failed miserably at changing the old habits
that had given her that shy girl reputation in the first place. Not
only could she not move from reserved to rambunctious, she couldn't
even get to normal. But when a tragedy shakes Autumn's world, she
stops feeling sad about what happened to her. Now she's angry and
she's determined to put a stop to this cyber-torture and bullying
of herself and the people she loves in this powerful and poignant
novel.

In Department of Temporal Adjustment, a fresh, funny, wisecracking
novel by Veronica R. Tabares, chick lit makes a pact with science
fiction and seals it with a kiss. In the spirit of being a doting
wife and good mother, Vanessa spends her time directing traffic,
kissing bruises, and diverting disasters such as the peer pressure
her daughter Becca will feel if her friends decide she's smart. And
Becca's just the tip of the iceberg that includes two more girls,
Vanessa's husband Tony, and her college education floating on top.
Still, she and Tony are committed to being there for their girls,
so when they decide to return to the ivory halls of academia, they
make sure that one or the other is always at home for the kids. The
drawback is that Vanessa is often on campus late at night, so when
she inadvertently steps through a time portal at the school's lab,
there aren't any witnesses. Transported to the future, this super
mom is forced to become a super hero in order to save herself-and
the world.
