In Seven Ways We Lie, a chance encounter tangles the lives of seven high school students, each resisting the allure of one of the seven deadly sins, and each telling their story from their seven distinct points of view. The juniors at Paloma High School all have their secrets, whether it's the thespian who hides her trust issues onstage, the closeted pansexual who only cares about his drug-dealing profits, or the neurotic genius who's planted the seed of a school scandal. But it's Juniper Kipling who has the furthest to fall. No one would argue that Juniper--obedient daughter, salutatorian, natural beauty, and loyal friend--is anything but perfect. Everyone knows she's a saint, not a sinner; but when love is involved, who is Juniper to resist temptation? When she begins to crave more and more of the one person she can't have, her charmed life starts to unravel. Then rumors of a student-teacher affair hit the fan. After Juniper accidentally exposes her secret at a party, her fate falls into the hands of the other six sinners, bringing them into one another's orbits. All seven are guilty of something. Together, they could save one another from their temptations--or be ruined by them. Riley Redgate's twisty YA debut effortlessly weaves humor, heartbreak, and redemption into a drama that fans of Jenny Han and Stephanie Perkins will adore.

Alone Out Here

Final Draft

It's the start of Jordan Sun's junior year at the Kensington-Blaine Boarding School for the Performing Arts. Unfortunately, she's an Alto 2, which--in the musical theatre world--is sort of like being a vulture in the wild: She has a spot in the ecosystem, but nobody's falling over themselves to express their appreciation. So it's no surprise when she gets shut out of the fall musical for the third year straight. But then the school gets a mass email: A spot has opened up in the Sharpshooters, Kensington's elite a cappella octet. Worshiped . . . revered . . . all male. Desperate to prove herself, Jordan auditions in her most convincing drag, and it turns out that Jordan Sun, Tenor 1, is exactly what the Sharps are looking for.

Noteworthy

Laila Piedra doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, and definitely doesn't sneak into the 21-and-over clubs on the Lower East Side. The only sort of risk Laila enjoys is the peril she writes for the characters in her stories. But just before her graduation, Laila's creative writing teacher and number one fan is replaced by Nadiya Nazarenko, a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist who sees nothing at all special about Laila's writing. A growing obsession with gaining Nazarenko's approval leads to a series of unexpected adventures. With her sanity and happiness on the line, Laila must figure out if enduring the unendurable really is the only way to greatness. The third novel from the beloved author of Seven Ways We Lie, Final Draft is "an intensely focused portrait of a girl who, through first love and first loss, begins to find the story she wants to tell" (Booklist).

"A chance encounter tangles the lives of seven high school students, each resisting the allure of one of the seven deadly sins, and each telling their story from their seven distinct points of view."

Siete Formas de Mentir

• Siete personajes, siete pecados capitales… • Una novela realista y honesta sobre lo que es ser adolescente. • Por fin una historia que habla abiertamente de identidades sexuales como la pansexualidad y la asexualidad. Siete adolescentes enzarzados en una red de sentimientos y rencores. Cada uno tiene una historia que contar. Cada cual entiende la vida a su manera. Pero todos poseen una cosa en común: algo que esconder. No, en el instituto Paloma nadie es del todo inocente. Están los que juzgan y los que callan, los que se mienten a sí mismos… y los que ocultan su verdad. Cuando estalla el rumor de que un profesor mantiene un romance con un alumno, las vidas y los destinos de siete adolescentes se entrelazan en torno a la inevitable pregunta: ¿quién? Los siete luchan contra sus propios demonios. Los siete son culpables de algo. Tal vez la clave de su propia redención solo puedan encontrarla en los demás. Un relato emotivo y rico en matices, narrado con las voces de siete jóvenes complejos, valientes y contradictorios que se buscan a sí mismos entre las luces y las sombras del amor, la familia y la amistad. «Cada uno de los conflictos a los que se enfrentan los personajes son sugerentes en sí mismos y buena parte de los lectores se identificarán con al menos uno de los protagonistas (…) Redgate ha creado el tipo de historia que conecta con los adolescentes de hoy.» School Library Journal «El debut de Redgate capta con acierto el corazón, el alma y las complejidades de un instituto (…) Redgate describe con suma perspicacia el complejo mundo de la adolescencia actual, revelando tanto sus aristas como sus aspectos más tiernos. Hacia el final del libro, los lectores tendrán la sensación de haber hecho siete nuevos amigos.» Publisher's Weekly «Absorbente, cruda y real (…) Una deliciosa ficción contemporánea para el público juvenil.» Book Riot
