Chloe Brown is a
chronically ill computer geek with a goal, a plan, and a list. After
almost—but not quite—dying, she’s come up with seven directives to help
her “Get a Life”, and she’s already completed the first: finally moving
out of her glamorous family’s mansion. The next items?
• Enjoy a drunken night out.
• Ride a motorcycle.
• Go camping.
• Have meaningless but thoroughly enjoyable sex.
• Travel the world with nothing but hand luggage.
• And... do something bad.
But
it’s not easy being bad, even when you’ve written step-by-step
guidelines on how to do it correctly. What Chloe needs is a teacher, and
she knows just the man for the job.
Redford ‘Red’ Morgan is a
handyman with tattoos, a motorcycle, and more sex appeal than
ten-thousand Hollywood heartthrobs. He’s also an artist who paints at
night and hides his work in the light of day, which Chloe knows because
she spies on him occasionally. Just the teeniest, tiniest bit.
But
when she enlists Red in her mission to rebel, she learns things about
him that no spy session could teach her. Like why he clearly resents
Chloe’s wealthy background. And why he never shows his art to anyone.
And what really lies beneath his rough exterior…
Scrappy fencer Nicholas
Cox comes to the end of his path to prove himself worthy of a father he
never knew in the face of surly upperclassmen, nearly impossible odds,
and the talent of his rival, sullen fencing prodigy, Seiji Katayama.
Sparks
fly white-hot on the pitch as Nicholas and Seiji finally face off once
again in the halls of King’s Row. It’s a match that will change King’s
Row (and both of them!) forever, and set the stage as the team journeys
to face their bitter rivals and prove themselves once and for all.
The third volume of the breakneck series from writer C.S. Pacat (The
Captive Prince) and fan-favorite artist Johanna the Mad comes at you as
fast as a parry and hits as hard as a strike.
Witch’s apprentice
Bridey Corkill has hated the ocean ever since she watched her granddad
dive in and drown with a smile on his face. So when a dead girl rolls in
with the tide in the summer of 1913, sixteen-year-old Bridey suspects
that whatever compelled her granddad to leap into the sea has made its
return to the Isle of Man.
Soon, villagers are vanishing in the
night, but no one shares Bridey’s suspicions about the sea. No one but
the island’s witch, who isn’t as frightening as she first appears, and
the handsome dark-haired lad Bridey rescues from a grim and watery fate.
The cause of the deep gashes in Fynn’s stomach and his lost memories
are, like the recent disappearances, a mystery well-guarded by the sea.
In exchange for saving his life, Fynn teaches Bridey to master her fear
of the water — stealing her heart in the process.
Now, Bridey
must work with the Isle’s eccentric witch and the boy she isn’t sure she
can trust — because if she can’t uncover the truth about the ancient
evil in the water, everyone she loves will walk into the sea, never to
return.
Jack might be the only
kid in the world who's dreading summer. But he's got a good reason:
summer is when his single mom takes a second job and leaves him at home
to watch his autistic kid sister, Maddy. It's a lot of responsibility,
and it's boring, too, because Maddy doesn't talk. Ever. But then, one
day at the flea market, Maddy does talk—to tell Jack to trade their
mom's car for a box of mysterious seeds. It's the best mistake Jack has
ever made.
What starts as a normal little garden out back behind
the house quickly grows up into a wild, magical jungle with tiny onion
babies running amok, huge, pink pumpkins that bite, and, on one moonlit
night that changes everything…a dragon.
