So it's a bit of a surprise when Bonnie runs away with the boyfriend Eden knows nothing about five days before the start of their GCSEs. Especially when the police arrive on her doorstep and Eden finds out that the boyfriend is actually their music teacher, Mr Cohn. Sworn to secrecy and bound by loyalty, only Eden knows Bonnie's location, and that's the way it has to stay. There's no way she's betraying her best friend. Not even when she's faced with police questioning, suspicious parents and her own growing doubts. As the days pass and things begin to unravel, Eden is forced to question everything she thought she knew about the world, her best friend and herself.

Where the Light Goes

Die beste Zeit ist am Ende der Welt

Frágil como nosotras. Fuerte como la amistad

Wunder, die wir teilen

A sedici anni il tuo mondo non è un ragazzo, ma la tua migliore amica.

Fragile come noi, forte come l'amicizia

Steffi tiene dieciséis años y desde los cinco le resulta casi imposible hablar en público. ¿Neurosis, trastorno de ansiedad y comunicación? Y es que no quiera sino que, a veces, no puede. Miles de palabras se agolpan en su mente, pero sus labios se niegan a compartirlas. Tem, su única amiga de la infancia, ha cambiado de escuela, dejándola sola. Sin embargo, Steffi ha estado haciendo terapia cognitiva y ha comenzado con su medicación: está decidida a superar sus limitaciones, y más ahora que debe ponerse a prueba para entrar a la Universidad. Rhys es nuevo en la escuela. Es sordo, y Steffi sabe algo del lenguaje de señas. Algo, por no decir bastante poco: a medida que su amistad crece, a la lectura de los labios se le suman signos, gestos, textos. Un idioma íntimo y amoroso que los envuelve y que solamente ellos conocen. Sobre este entramado se teje una maravillosa historia de amor, de superación y de aprendizaje, que nos enseña que en el silencio suelen alzarse las voces más potentes, aquellas que retumban sin hacer ruido, como un trueno sigiloso y secreto.

Little Spoon

Ja byłam odważna. Ona była szalona. Razem sprawiałyśmy kłopoty Caddy i Rosie są nierozłączne. Bardzo się różnią, ale to tylko je do siebie zbliża. Gdy Caddy kończy szesnaście lat, zdaje sobie sprawę, że chciałaby być taka jak jej przyjaciółka – pewna siebie, przebojowa i zabawna. Wtedy w ich życie wkracza śliczna oraz – jak się okazuje – skrywająca pewną tajemnicę Suzanne. I wszystko staje się jeszcze bardziej skomplikowane. Przeszłość Suzanne stopniowo wychodzi na jaw, teraźniejszość wymyka się spod kontroli, a Caddy zaczyna dostrzegać, że problemy mogą być bardzo ekscytujące. Jednak budowanie przyjaźni i próby zaleczenia starych ran są dużo boleśniejsze, niż którakolwiek z dziewczyn się spodziewa. Caddy wkrótce przekonuje się, że kłopoty potrafią się mnożyć w niesłychanym tempie. „Piękna opowieść o sile i złożoności kobiecej przyjaźni”. Holy Bourne, autorka Przeznaczonych „Czułam się, jakbym żyła tą książką”. Zoe Sugg (Zoella), autorka Girl Online

Piękne złamane serca

Den pæneste overflade kan skjule de mørkeste hemmeligheder ... Caddy er træt af at være den pæne og stille pige. Der skal ske noget nyt. Smukke Suzanne er vild og oprørsk, men i det skjulte kæmper hun for at slippe fri af sin fortid. Selvom alle siger, at Suzanne er en dårlig indflydelse, nægter Caddy at lytte. Da det endelig går op for Caddy, hvor svært Suzanne har det, er det måske for sent ... Caddy vil gå til verdens ende for Suzanne, men langsomt går det op for hende, at hun måske ikke er den rette til at hjælpe, og at Suzannes problemer nok er noget større, end hun lader andre se. Caddy er i gang med at finde ud af, at ingen kan knus dit hjerte som din bedste veninde. En smuk, hjerteskærende og troværdig fortælling om en relation, som tit overses, men som for mange teenagepiger har betydet mere end samtlige kærester: forholdet til ens bedste veninde.
