Simon Snow is the worst chosen one who’s ever been chosen.
That’s what his roommate, Baz, says. And Baz might be evil and a vampire and a complete git, but he’s probably right.
Half
the time, Simon can’t even make his wand work, and the other half, he
sets something on fire. His mentor’s avoiding him, his girlfriend broke
up with him, and there’s a magic-eating monster running around wearing
Simon’s face. Baz would be having a field day with all this, if he were
here—it’s their last year at the Watford School of Magicks, and Simon’s
infuriating nemesis didn’t even bother to show up.
Carry On
is a ghost story, a love story, a mystery and a melodrama. It has just
as much kissing and talking as you’d expect from a Rainbow Rowell
story—but far, far more monsters.
Helloooo, Internet Land. Bitty here!
Y’all... I might not be ready for this. I may be a former junior figure skating champion, vlogger extraordinaire, and very talented
amateur pâtissier, but being a freshman on the Samwell University
hockey team is a whole new challenge. It’s nothing like co-ed club
hockey back in Georgia! First of all? There’s checking. And then, there is Jack—our very attractive but moody captain.
A collection of the first half of the megapopular webcomic series of the same name, Check, Please!: #Hockey
is the first book of a hilarious and stirring two-volume coming-of-age
story about hockey, bros, and trying to find yourself during the best
four years of your life.
What happens when America's First Son falls in love with the Prince of Wales?
When
his mother became President, Alex Claremont-Diaz was promptly cast as
the American equivalent of a young royal. Handsome, charismatic,
genius—his image is pure millennial-marketing gold for the White House.
There's only one problem: Alex has a beef with the actual prince, Henry,
across the pond. And when the tabloids get hold of a photo involving an
Alex-Henry altercation, U.S./British relations take a turn for the
worse.
Heads of family, state, and other handlers devise a plan
for damage control: staging a truce between the two rivals. What at
first begins as a fake, Instragramable friendship grows deeper, and more
dangerous, than either Alex or Henry could have imagined. Soon Alex
finds himself hurtling into a secret romance with a surprisingly
unstuffy Henry that could derail the campaign and upend two nations and
begs the question: Can love save the world after all? Where do we find
the courage, and the power, to be the people we are meant to be? And how
can we learn to let our true colors shine through?
Casey McQuiston's Red, White & Royal Blue proves: true love isn't always diplomatic.
Six years ago, Moss
Jefferies' father was murdered by an Oakland police officer. Along with
losing a parent, the media's vilification of his father and lack of
accountability has left Moss with near crippling panic attacks.
Now,
in his sophomore year of high school, Moss and his fellow classmates
find themselves increasingly treated like criminals by their own school.
New rules. Random locker searches. Constant intimidation and Oakland
Police Department stationed in their halls. Despite their youth, the
students decide to organize and push back against the administration.
When
tensions hit a fever pitch and tragedy strikes, Moss must face a
difficult choice: give in to fear and hate or realize that anger can
actually be a gift.
