JUVENILES Y JOVEN ADULTO

A romance writer who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engage in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily ever afters. Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast. They're polar opposites. In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, they're living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writer's block. Until, one hazy evening, one thing leads to another and they strike a deal designed to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will spend the summer writing something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel. She'll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and he'll take her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult (obviously). Everyone will finish a book and no one will fall in love. Really.

Alice nunca ha salido al mundo. Su cena es a las nueve en punto, su sueño dura exactamente ocho horas, jamás tiene una sola arruga en la ropa, parpadea 86 400 veces al día, respira 30 000 veces al día, solo habla cuando le preguntan, jamás ha levantado la voz y, lo más importante, jamás se ha preguntado qué pasaría si todo cambiara. Pero, ¿y si eso ocurriera? En un mundo donde la libertad está controlada, ¿hasta dónde serías capaz de llegar para recuperarla? ¿Hasta dónde serías capaz de llegar para sobrevivir?

Cuando Stacey se mudó a Willow Creek para cuidar de su madre enferma, sabía que su vida estaría en pausa una temporada. Lo cierto es que ahora ya han pasado años, y aunque le encante pasar los veranos sirviendo bebidas y flirteando con clientes en la feria medieval del pueblo, tiene otras expectativas de futuro. Por ello, se marca un objetivo claro: tener su vida resuelta antes de la feria del próximo año. Quizás incluso para entonces haya encontrado a su media naranja.Al fantasear sobre el amor, a Stacey nunca se le pasó por la mente que Dex MacLean, su ligue de verano, pudiera ser un candidato. Sin duda, es muy atractivo, especialmente cuando está en el escenario con su grupo de música, pero Stacey nunca ha sentido conexión emocional con él. Pero entonces recibe un e-mail muy tierno de su galán monosilábico… y se pregunta si quizás ha estado equivocada todo este tiempo.La feria por fin regresa a Willow Creek, y Stacey espera poder verse en persona con el hombre con quien ha estado intercambiando centenares de mensajes de amor online. Pero, para su asombro, no ha sido Dex. Entonces, ¿de quién se ha estado enamorando todo este tiempo?

Trip. My parents started using that word about a year ago—“one day, you’ll take a trip to be with us. Like an adventure.” Javier Zamora’s adventure is a three-thousand-mile journey from his small town in El Salvador, through Guatemala and Mexico, and across the U.S. border. He will leave behind his beloved aunt and grandparents to reunite with a mother who left four years ago and a father he barely remembers. Traveling alone amid a group of strangers and a “coyote” hired to lead them to safety, Javier expects his trip to last two short weeks. At nine years old, all Javier can imagine is rushing into his parents’ arms, snuggling in bed between them, and living under the same roof again. He cannot foresee the perilous boat trips, relentless desert treks, pointed guns, arrests and deceptions that await him; nor can he know that those two weeks will expand into two life-altering months alongside fellow migrants who will come to encircle him like an unexpected family. A memoir as gripping as it is moving, Solito provides an immediate and intimate account not only of a treacherous and near-impossible journey, but also of the miraculous kindness and love delivered at the most unexpected moments. Solito is Javier Zamora’s story, but it’s also the story of millions of others who had no choice but to leave home.

You can’t stop the future. You can’t rewind the past. The only way to learn the secret . . . is to press play. Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a strange package with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers several cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker—his classmate and crush—who committed suicide two weeks earlier. Hannah’s voice tells him that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he’ll find out why. Clay spends the night crisscrossing his town with Hannah as his guide. He becomes a firsthand witness to Hannah’s pain, and as he follows Hannah’s recorded words throughout his town, what he discovers changes his life forever.

Josslyn Drake knows only three things about magic: it’s rare, illegal, and always deadly. So when she’s caught up in a robbery gone wrong at the Queen’s Gala and infected by a dangerous piece of magic—one that allows her to step into the memories of an infamously evil warlock—she finds herself living her worst nightmare. Joss needs the magic removed before it corrupts her soul and kills her. But in Ironport, the cost of doing magic is death, and seeking help might mean scheduling her own execution. There’s nobody she can trust. Nobody, that is, except wanted criminal Jericho Nox, who offers her a deal: his help extracting the magic in exchange for the magic itself. And though she’s not thrilled to be working with a thief, especially one as infuriating (and infuriatingly handsome) as Jericho, Joss is desperate enough to accept. But Jericho is nothing like Joss expects. The closer she grows to Jericho and the more she sees of the world outside her pampered life in the city, the more Joss begins to question the beliefs she’s always taken for granted—beliefs about right and wrong, about power and magic, and even about herself.
