A perfect boy...an invisible girl. It's a romance I can never get enough of. About: Chloe has one plan for the future, and one plan only: the road. She’s made a promise to herself: don’t let anyone in, and don’t let anyone love her. She’s learned the hard way what happens if she breaks her rules. So she’s focused on being invisible and waiting until she can set out on the road—her dream of freedom, at least for a little while.Blake Hunter is a basketball star who has it all—everything about him looks perfect to those on the other side of his protective walls. He can’t let anyone see the shattered pieces behind the flawless facade or else all his hopes and dreams will disappear. One dark night throws Chloe and Blake together, changing everything for Blake. For Chloe, nothing changes: she has the road, and she’s focused on it. But when the so-called perfect boy starts to notice the invisible girl, they discover that sometimes with love, no one knows where the road may lead. |
STEERING THE STARS by Autumn Doughton and Erica Cope
One of my favorite aspects of Jane Austen's writing is in her portrayal of families and friendships. What would Pride and Prejudice be without Elizabeth and Jane's sisterly love. STEERING THE STARS delves into the bond between best friends who are separated by an ocean About: Two girls. Two stories. One journey.Be careful what you wish for... Aspiring writer Hannah Vaughn worries that she is doomed to live out the rest of her existence in a sleepy Oklahoma town. For as long as she can remember, she's dreamed of something more - adventure, excitement, intrigue. When her sister invites her to London and she's accepted to a prestigious writing program at The Warriner School, she jumps at the chance. But will it be epic or an epic fail? You'll never know if you don't try... Nothing ever happens to straight-A student Caroline McKain and that's exactly the way she likes it. With her best friend in London and junior year looming on the horizon, all she wants is to remain invisible. So when she is suddenly thrust into the spotlight, she must ask herself: Can an invisible girl really take center stage? Follow Hannah and Caroline as they navigate the complexities of first love, family and growing up. As their bond is tested, the girls will learn that being apart can ultimately bring you together. Steering the Stars is a fresh, heartfelt story about fate, discovery, and the magic of friendship. |
NOTHING LIKE LOOKING by Chris Van Hakes
I have a soft spot for YA journal novels. I love how we're immediately drawn into the character's world. About: Reed Larson was just expelled from her old school. Do you want to know why? Me too. But she won’t say.Ask her about the book her brother gave her instead, The Hobbit. Or the beautiful boy named Mason. Or her new school, Fancy Snob School for Rich Kids That Want to be Fancy (FSSFRKTWTBF for short). Or how she’s hiding everything about herself. Actually, scratch that. Just ask her why J.R.R. Tolkien has too many initials. She can’t talk about the rest. Yet. |
