What to Say Next

From the New York Times bestselling author of Tell Me Three Things comes an of-the-moment novel that explores a seductive world of privilege, wealth, and status by way of a college admissions bribery scandal story. LA prep-school student Chloe Wynn Berringer, who is knee-deep in the misery of the college applications process, is shocked when FBI agents arrive at her front door to arrest her B-list TV and film celebrity mother in connection with a massive college admissions bribery scandal. Who is involved? Who knew what and when? And who is talking to the authorities? As the scope of the investigation is revealed, it is evident that the downfall will be swift--the general public demands that the guilty be punished. A riveting novel that examines the pressures and expectations of an increasingly competitive landscape for teens during college applications year and what some parents will risk to guarantee that their kids succeed.

Admission

"The tragic 9/11 event in NYC that changed the world, altered the life of Abbi Hope Goldstein as well as that of Noah Stern. They did not know each other back then, but they know each other now, and while Abbi is trying to move forward with her life, Noah still has unanswered questions that he believes Abbi can help answer"--

Hope and Other Punchlines

What secrets will people keep--or reveal--to protect those they love? This novel, set against the frightening backdrop of an encroaching fire season, sparks reflection about friendship, the allure of romantic love, and loyalty to family. Can a single kiss change everything? 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 for twins Arch and Immie and their best friend, Paige, a spontaneous kiss shakes the very foundation of their friendship. But some ties 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. Year on Fire explores the blinding power of the lies we tell others and those we tell ourselves, the tight grip of family secrets, the magic of first love, and the grounding beauty of friendship.

Postdata: ¿Quién eres?

Às vezes, tudo o que precisamos é de uma nova perspectiva para entendermos o mundo. Quando uma improvável amizade começa a surgir entre Kit Lowell, uma das meninas mais populares do ensino médio, e David Drucker, o garoto nerd e isolado, todos ficam surpresos... principalmente Kit e David. A garota está tendo dificuldades em lidar com a perda do pai após um acidente de carro, e acaba apreciando a honestidade contundente de David. Na verdade, parece que ele é o único capaz de ser objetivo sobre diversos assuntos, inclusive a morte, e ela acha isso estranhamente revigorante. David, que não tem muitos amigos e é vítima constante de bullying na escola, fica encantado com a atenção que recebe de Kit e natureza curiosa da nova amiga. Quando ela lhe pede ajuda para descobrir mais sobre o trágico acidente de seu pai, David topa na hora. Mas nenhum deles poderia prever o resultado dessa busca; nem sempre é fácil lidar com a verdade.

Quando não há palavras

"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...
