Meg Haston

In the vein of Laurie Halse Anderson's Wintergirls, this emotionally haunting and beautifully written young adult debut delves into the devastating impact of trauma and loss. Seventeen-year-old Stevie is trapped. In her life. In her body. And now in an eating-disorder treatment center on the dusty outskirts of the New Mexico desert. Life in the center is regimented and intrusive, a nightmare come true. Nurses and therapists watch Stevie at meal time, accompany her to the bathroom, and challenge her to eat the foods she's worked so hard to avoid. Her dad has signed her up for sixty days of treatment. But what no one knows is that Stevie doesn't plan to stay that long. There are only twenty-seven days until the anniversary of her brother Josh's death—the death she caused. And if Stevie gets her way, there are only twenty-seven days until she, too, will end her life. Paperweight follows Stevie's journey as she struggles not only with this life-threatening eating disorder, but with the question of whether she can ever find absolution for the mistakes of her past…and whether she truly deserves to.

The End of Our Story

Alles so leicht

Read the book that inspired the Nickelodeon TV show! Perfect for fans of Middle School and Awkward. Super-stylish and uber-harsh, Kacey Simon is the social dictator of Marquette Middle School. But when an eye infection and a visit to the dentist leave her with giant glasses, a mouth full of metal, and...a littthp, Kacey is dismissed by her popular friends, falling so far down the social ladder she can barely see the top, even with her magnifying specs. With nowhere else to turn, Kacey has to hang with her nerdy neighbor and a boy who walks to beat of his own drum, but she's determined to reclaim her throne. Will she climb back to the top? Or will she discover that hitting rock bottom kind of...rocks?

How to Rock Braces and Glasses

After a humiliating tumble down the social ladder, Kacey Simon is back on top, where she belongs. She's lost her lisp, traded in her Coke-bottle glasses for contacts, and learned that brutal honesty isn't always the best policy. Best of all, she's made up with Zander and her BFFs and reclaimed her spot as Gravity's lead singer. Her life is pitch-perfect--until Zander's ex-girlfriend, Stevie, arrives in town. Marquette Middle hasn't seen a girl with such killer style and impressive vocals since... well, Kacey herself. Boys want to date Stevie, girls want to be her, and Kacey wants to boot her butt out of Chicago ASAP. But when Kacey reverts to her mean-girl ways to take Stevie down, will she lose the band--and Zander--for good? It's not easy for a star to share the spotlight, but the show must go on in Meg Haston's stylish and clever sequel to How to Rock Braces and Glasses.

El Final de Nuestra Historia

Super-rigorosa e cheia de estilo, Kacey Simon dita as tendências na escola Marquette. Ela anda com as garotas mais bonitas e populares e tem seu próprio programa de TV no canal do colégio, dando conselhos e explicando para seus colegas a verdade nua e crua — quer eles queiram ouvir, quer não. Mas então uma infecção ocular e uma visita ao dentista deixam Kacey com óculos fundo de garrafa, a boca cheia de metal e... a língua prefa. Rejeitada pelos amigos populares, ela despenca da pirâmide social de forma tão dramática que fica difícil enxergar o topo, mesmo com aquelas duas lentes de aumento no rosto. Sem ter mais a quem recorrer, Kacey começa a andar com uma vizinha nerd e um garoto que leva a vida num ritmo próprio — na verdade, no ritmo do baterista de sua banda. Ele a quer como sua vocalista, mas ela está decidida a recuperar seu trono. Será que Kacey vai alcançar o topo novamente? Ou vai descobrir que chegar ao fundo do poço meio que é... o máximo? Nesse divertidíssimo romance, Meg Haston conta a história de uma garota malvada que, com um bom par de óculos, passa a enxergar melhor não só as coisas, mas também a vida.
