What if the person you need the most is someone you’ve never met?
Funny and romantic, this tug-at-your-heartstrings contemporary YA debut is perfect for readers of Rainbow Rowell, Jennifer Niven, and E. Lockhart.
Everything about Jessie is wrong. At least, that’s what it feels like during her first week as a junior at her new ultra-intimidating prep school in Los Angeles. It’s been barely two years since her mother’s death, and because her father eloped with a woman he met online, Jessie has been forced to move across the country to live with her stepmonster and her pretentious teenage son.
Just when she’s thinking about hightailing it back to Chicago, she gets an email from a person calling themselves Somebody/Nobody (SN for short), offering to help her navigate the wilds of Wood Valley High School. Is it an elaborate hoax? Or can she rely on SN for some much-needed help?
In a leap of faith—or an act of complete desperation—Jessie begins to rely on SN, and SN quickly becomes her lifeline and closest ally. Jessie can’t help wanting to meet SN in person. But are some mysteries better left unsolved?
“Three Things about this novel: (1) I loved it. (2) No, really, I LOVED it. (3) I wish I could tell every teen to read it. Buxbaum’s book sounds, reads, breathes, worries, and soars like real adolescents do.” —Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling author of Leaving Time and Off the Page
From the New York Times bestselling author of Tell Me Three Things comes a story about two struggling teenagers who find an unexpected connection just when they need it most. Nicola Yoon, the bestselling author of Everything, Everything, calls it "charming, funny, and deeply affecting."
Sometimes a new perspective is all that is needed to make sense of the world.
KIT: I don’t know why I decide not to sit with Annie and Violet at lunch. It feels like no one here gets what I’m going through. How could they? I don’t even understand.
DAVID: In the 622 days I’ve attended Mapleview High, Kit Lowell is the first person to sit at my lunch table. I mean, I’ve never once sat with someone until now. “So your dad is dead,” I say to Kit, because this is a fact I’ve recently learned about her.
When an unlikely friendship is sparked between relatively popular Kit Lowell and socially isolated David Drucker, everyone is surprised, most of all Kit and David. Kit appreciates David’s blunt honesty—in fact, she finds it bizarrely refreshing. David welcomes Kit’s attention and her inquisitive nature. When she asks for his help figuring out the how and why of her dad’s tragic car accident, David is all in. But neither of them can predict what they’ll find. Can their friendship survive the truth?

When Sky Patel-Baum is sent to live with her mysterious uncle, she didn’t imagine she’d end up here: Area 51. A top-secret military base with a bajillion rules and so classified not even the president knows its secrets.
Also, it turns out the place is full of aliens. Lots and lots of aliens. But they prefer to be called Break Throughs, thank you very much.
As Sky sets out to explore her extraordinary new home with her pizza-obsessed pet hedgehog Spike, she meets her otherworldly next-door neighbor Elvis and his fluffy pup, Pickles. But something mysterious is afoot in Area 51. Some of the Break Throughs have gone missing… at the exact same time Sky arrived.
Where could they be? How can Sky and her uncle convince everyone they had nothing to do with the disappearance? And why does the macaroni and cheese at Area 51 Middle have eyeballs in it? New best friends Sky, Elvis, Spike, and Pickles try to crack the case, but the clock is ticking…
Eine berührende Geschichte, über zwei Jugendliche, die trotz oder gerade wegen ihrer Unterschiede perfekt füreinander sind.
Kit und David könnten unterschiedlicher nicht sein. Sie ist beliebt, er mit Asperger-Syndrom gilt an der Highschool als Außenseiter. Doch als Kits Vater bei einem Autounfall stirbt, kann sie nicht weitermachen wie bisher. Deshalb setzt sie sich in der Mittagspause von nun an zu David. Denn während alle anderen sie bemitleiden, ist seine schonungslose Ehrlichkeit genau das, was Kit gerade braucht. Und während sie sich immer weiter aus ihrer Trauer herauskämpft, nimmt David Stück für Stück einen größer werdenden Platz in ihrem Herzen ein ...
"Aufrichtig, bezaubernd, tiefgründig und wahr. ICH LIEBE ES VON GANZEM HERZEN!" Jennifer Niven (All die verdammt perfekten Tage)
Il faut savoir se confronter au passé pour mieux vivre son avenir...
Le 11 septembre 2001, au moment où les avions frappaient les Tours Jumelles, Abbi fêtait son premier anniversaire à la crèche du World Trade Center. La photo qui la montre en train d'être secourue fait la une de tous les journaux. Dès lors, elle devient " Baby Hope " : un véritable symbole d'espoir. Noah, lui, a perdu son père le 11 Septembre. Depuis, il cherche désespérément à savoir comment il a vécu ses derniers instants, convaincu que la réponse se trouve sur le célèbre cliché. Quinze ans plus tard, lorsque Noah s'aperçoit que Baby Hope travaille dans le même camp de vacances que lui, il y voit un signe du destin. Saura-t-il la persuader de se lancer à la découverte des secrets de ce jour où tout a basculé ?
Jessie hat es satt: Nicht macht sie richtig. So fühlt es sich zumindest in ihrer ersten Woche an der ultraschicken privaten Highschool in Los Angeles für sie an. Gerade als sie überlegt, alles hinzuschmeißen, bekommt sie eine E-Mail von jemandem, der sich selbst "Somebody Nobody" nennt und seine Hilfe im Highschoolwahn anbietet. Ist das ein fieser Trick? Oder kann sie den Tipps des mysteriösen Unbekannten doch trauen? Und wer verbirgt sich hinter dem Namen?
Ein Liebesgeschichte, die einen bis zur letzten Seite fesselt.
It was a year on fire. They fell in love. Someone was bound to get burned.
The Spark: Just days before the start of junior year, a spontaneous kiss and then a lie shake the very foundation of the friendship between best friends Immie and Paige. Immie’s twin brother, Arch, knows something, only he’s not talking. Some loyalties run too deep to be broken by accidental betrayal.
The Fuel: Enter Rohan, new to Wood Valley High by way of London, who walks into school on the first day completely overwhelmed by his sudden move halfway around the world. When Paige calls dibs on him—he’s too cute to ignore—Immie is in no position to argue, certainly not after taking the fall for the disloyal kiss. Too bad for Immie that Ro feels like the best kind of familiar.
The Kindling: Former lab partners Arch and Jackson, Paige’s ex-boyfriend, have never considered themselves more than friends. But sometimes feelings can grow like flames fanned by the wind.
The Flames: When the girls’ bathroom at Wood Valley is set ablaze, no one doubts it’s arson. But in this bastion of privilege, who’d be angry enough to want to burn down the school? Answer: pretty much everyone.
It's good to be Chloe Wynn Berringer--she has it all--money, privilege, and a ticket to the college of her dreams. Or at least she did until the FBI came knocking on her front door, guns at the ready, and her future went up in smoke. Now her B list celebrity mother is under arrest in a massive college admissions bribery scandal, and Chloe might be the next one facing charges. The public is furious, the headlines are brutal, and the US attorney is out for blood.
As everything she's taken for granted starts to slip away, Chloe must reckon not only with the truth of what happened, but also with the examination of her own guilt. How much did she really know-or guess? Why did her parents think the only way for her to succeed was to cheat? And what does it really mean to be complicit?
Bestselling author Julie Buxbaum takes on the college admissions bribery scandal that rocked the country in this timely tale of the hyper elite and the hyper competitive, and the lengths they go to stay at the top.
Dos jóvenes aparentemente opuestos y con crisis vitales muy distintas encuentran una conexión inesperada justo cuando más la necesitan.
Kit le pide a David que le ayude a investigar las causas del trágico accidente de coche en el que muere su padre. Pero ninguno de ellos es consciente de lo que encontrarán. ¿Será su amistad lo suficientemente fuerte para sobrevivir a la verdad?
A veces, una nueva perspectiva es todo lo que se necesita para darle sentido al mundo.
"A luminous, lovely story about a girl who builds a future from the ashes of her past." --KATHLEEN GLASGOW, New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces
Sometimes looking to the past helps you find your future.
Abbi Hope Goldstein is like every other teenager, with a few smallish exceptions: her famous alter ego, Baby Hope, is the subject of internet memes, she has asthma, and sometimes people spontaneously burst into tears when they recognize her. Abbi has lived almost her entire life in the shadow of the terrorist attacks of September 11. On that fateful day, she was captured in what became an iconic photograph: in the picture, Abbi (aka "Baby Hope") wears a birthday crown and grasps a red balloon; just behind her, the South Tower of the World Trade Center is collapsing.
Now, fifteen years later, Abbi is desperate for anonymity and decides to spend the summer before her seventeenth birthday incognito as a counselor at Knights Day Camp two towns away. She's psyched for eight weeks in the company of four-year-olds, none of whom have ever heard of Baby Hope.
Too bad Noah Stern, whose own world was irrevocably shattered on that terrible day, has a similar summer plan. Noah believes his meeting Baby Hope is fate. Abbi is sure it's a disaster. Soon, though, the two team up to ask difficult questions about the history behind the Baby Hope photo. But is either of them ready to hear the answers?
A volte basta cambiare prospettiva per dare senso al mondo. Da quando suo padre è morto in un incidente d’auto, Kit non è più la stessa. Non ha più voglia di ridere, scherzare o confidarsi con le amiche di sempre. L’unica cosa che desidera è chiudere fuori il mondo intero e voltare pagina. Per questo decide di lasciare il tavolo affollato a cui si siede ogni giorno in mensa e prendere posto a quello di David. David, che gira per i corridoi della scuola con le cuffie nelle orecchie e non parla con nessuno. David, che è un genio della fisica ma quando si agita trema come una foglia. I due non potrebbero essere più diversi, ma lentamente quei pranzi in solitudine diventano un appuntamento fisso, atteso, e tra sguardi e parole sussurrate, Kit e David imparano a essere amici. Forse qualcosa di più. Fino a quando David decide di aiutare Kit a ricostruire che cosa è successo il giorno in cui suo padre è morto. Perché David non sopporta le questioni irrisolte, non sopporta le equazioni lasciate a metà. E farebbe di tutto per ricomporre i pezzi del cuore infranto di Kit. Ma il sentimento che li lega sarà abbastanza forte per resistere alla verità?

«Un romanzo affascinante, divertente ed emozionante insieme.» - Nicola Yoon, autrice bestseller di Noi siamo tutto
"Como eu adoraria ter escrito esse livro! O texto de Julie Buxbaum é leve, irônico, ácido, esperto, engraçado, preciso e deliciosamente irresistível. De tão envolvente e despretensiosa, a história de Jessie (e sua vida numa escola nova e numa cidade nova, beeeem longe da sua) é como um ímã para os olhos: simplesmente não dá para parar de ler." – Thalita Rebouças, autora de Confissões de uma garota excluída, mal-amada e (um pouco) dramática
"Esse é um daqueles livros que você sempre quis ler. Não é só mais uma comédia adolescente, mas uma história sobre pessoas, mudanças, amizade, família, tatuagens não feitas, segredos e waffles. É uma jornada fascinante sobre crescer e transformar relacionamentos em poesia, não importa quem você seja." – Babi Dewet, autora de Sábado à noite
Setecentos e trinta e três dias depois da morte da minha mãe, 45 dias após o meu pai fugir para se encontrar com uma estranha que ele conheceu pela internet, 30 dias depois de a gente se mudar para a Califórnia e apenas sete dias após começar o primeiro ano do ensino médio numa escola nova onde conheço aproximadamente ninguém, chega um e-mail. Deveria ser no mínimo esquisito, uma mensagem anônima aparecer do nada na minha caixa de entrada, assinada com o bizarro nome Alguém Ninguém. Só que nos últimos tempos a minha vida tem estado tão irreconhecível que nada mais parece chocante...
