Paperback. Condizione: Good. Some people would say this is the story of a photograph. How it was taken and what happened to me after the whole world saw it. And it is. But it's also the story of a lot of other things. Like ducking into an upstairs bedroom with Luke DeSalvio, the golden boy I swore I was done with. It is about a camera flash in the dark, and a photo that turned my private life into school-wide gossip. Whisper by the lockers as much as you need to. Around here, the varsity jock walks away a hero, while an honors student gets branded with dirty notes in French class. Call it whatever cheap headline you like. Between dyeing my waist-length hair the color of coffee grounds and figuring out who my true friends are, I am done letting a rumor define who I am. So look at the picture all you want. I am so much more than what you see. High School Drama: When the fallout reaches home, Audrey must navigate her father scouring cell-phone privacy statutes and her mother scheduling an excruciating checkup with Dr. Warren. Female Friendship: Cast out by former peers, Audrey finds unexpected solidarity over diner cheese fries with school pariahs Pam and Cindy, joining best friends Ash and Joelle in a defiant pack. Coming of Age: Between constructing sets for a production of Hamlet and crashing senior prom in rented wedding gowns, Audrey refuses to let small-town gossip dictate her future. Also by This Author: Bone Gap, Thirteen Doorways, Wolves Behind Them All and Bad Apple.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. In one vast and sparkling city, everyone can fly. Almost everyone. A few, nicknamed leadfeet, are sentenced by a trick of nature or fate to forever spend their lives closer to the ground. But one night, a girl named Gurl - a leadfoot, an orphan, a nobody - discovers that she can do something much better than fly. She can become invisible. This amazing power will help her uncover the secret mysteries of the city. But even with her newfound talent, Gurl can't seem to hide from a giant rat man with a taste for cats, a manipulative matron with a penchant for plastic surgery, and a belligerent boy named Bug. Gradually Gurl learns to control her power and teams up with Bug to figure out who and what she is. Their quest will take them on a wild ride through this magical city, where they'll confront chatty birds and mind-bending monkeys, an eccentric genius with a head full of grass and a pocket full of kittens, and the handsome but lethal Sweetcheeks Grabowski - the gangster who holds the key to Gurl's past . . . and the world's future.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. National Book Award 2019 Finalist! From the author of Printz Medal winner Bone Gap comes the unforgettable story of two young women--one living, one dead--dealing with loss, desire, and the fragility of the American dream during WWII. When Frankie's mother died and her father left her and her siblings at an orphanage in Chicago, it was supposed to be only temporary--just long enough for him to get back on his feet and be able to provide for them once again. That's why Frankie's not prepared for the day that he arrives for his weekend visit with a new woman on his arm and out-of-state train tickets in his pocket. Now Frankie and her sister, Toni, are abandoned alongside so many other orphans--two young, unwanted women doing everything they can to survive. And as the embers of the Great Depression are kindled into the fires of World War II, and the shadows of injustice, poverty, and death walk the streets in broad daylight, it will be up to Frankie to find something worth holding on to in the ruins of this shattered America--every minute of every day spent wondering if the life she's able to carve out will be enough. I will admit I do not know the answer. But I will be watching, waiting to find out. That's what ghosts do.…
