THE SURVIVAL LIST
by Courtney Sheinmel
Katherine Tegen Books, September 2019

The only thing connecting Sloane to her older sister Talley is a list—random places, unfamiliar names, a phone number that she doesn’t recognize. Ever since Talley died, Sloane has been completely fixated on it: maybe understanding how the items on list connect is the key to understanding why Talley took her own life. Except the clues on the list seem to be pointing her to California, and Talley had never even been there, right? Turns out the list of things Sloane didn’t know about her sister is much longer than she realized.
She heads out west in search of Adam, the owner of the mysterious phone number, who claims he’d never met Talley. Even though Adam is clearly hiding something, Sloane can’t deny that she’s drawn to him. Can unraveling the cryptic non-sequiturs Talley left behind— and putting her trust in a stranger— heal the hole her sister’s death has left in Sloane’s life?

Courtney Sheinmel is the author of over a dozen highly celebrated books for kids and teens, including the YA novel Edgewater, and the Kindness Club and Stella Batts series for middle grade readers.

THE FALL OF CRAZY HOUSE #2
Little, Brown and Company, April 2019

Escape is just the beginning. Twin sisters Becca and Cassie barely got out of the Crazy House alive. Now they’re trained, skilled fighters who fear nothing–not even the all-powerful United regime. Together, the sisters hold the key to defeating the despotic government and freeing the people of the former United States. But to win this war, will the girls have to become the very thing they hate?

CRAZY HOUSE #1
Jimmy Patterson, May 2017

Seventeen-year-old Becca Greenfield was snatched from her small hometown. She was thrown into a maximum-security prison and put on Death Row with other kids her age. Until her execution, Becca’s told to fit in and shut her mouth . . . but Becca’s never been very good at either. Her sister Cassie was always the good twin. There were no charges. There was no trial. There will be no escape. Becca’s only hope is that her twin sister will find her. That perfect little priss Cassie will stop following the rules and start breaking them, before it’s too late. Because her jailers made a mistake that could get them both killed: They took the wrong twin.

PIQUE – Beyond The Book

Le 25 juin, Abrams Books a lancé une nouvelle plateforme adressée au public Young Adult.

PIQUE – Beyond The Book est une communauté en ligne pour les auteurs, les lecteurs et les fans des écrivains publiés par Amulet, un imprint d’Abrams Books. On y retrouvera des interviews, des essais, l’évolution des couvertures, les meilleurs tweets de la semaine, les liens aux recensions et bien plus encore!

Susan Van Metre, éditrice en chef d’Amulet Books a déclaré :

“For us, good young adult novels are a stepping off point to a greater engagement with the world.  YA readers are deeply curious and opinionated, and we wanted to create a space where they can find out more about the books and authors who are shaping their worldview and share their thoughts. And, of course, because we are Abrams, it has to be a beautiful space that reflects our strong sense of art and design.”

THE POSSIBILITY OF SOMEWHERE de Julia Day

An emotional and poignant young adult romance debut!

THE POSSIBILITY OF SOMEWHERE
by Julia Day
Saint Martin’s Griffin, September 2016

Ash Gupta is having an amazing senior year, hanging out with his tight circle of friends and cranking out the grades his wealthy, immigrant Asian-Indian parents expect. A model student in every way, Ash is on track to earn every school honor there is… except one. It looks as if valedictorian will go to the anti-social, foul-mouthed girl who has been a thorn in his side throughout high school, and that’s just not a part of Ash’s—or his parents’—plan. Eden Moore’s biggest goal is to escape the poverty that haunts her family. When she’s not babysitting a special needs boy, managing the high school website, or attending classes, she’s studying her ass off. To both of their surprise, when Eden and Ash are forced to work together on a school project, sparks fly. As they spend more time together, antagonism changes to romance.

THE POSSIBILITY OF SOMEWHERE is Julia Day’s debut YA contemporary romance.
