So she's not too pleased when her father decides to send her to a boarding school in paris for her senior year. But despite not speaking a word of French, Anna meets some cool new friends, including the handsome Étienne St. Clair, who quickly becomes her best friend. Unfortunately, he's taken-and Anna might be, too. Will a year of romantic near misses end with the french kiss she's been waiting for?
summ:
if there's anything stronger than magic, it's sisterhood.
I hugged my sisters and they fit against my sides like two jigsaw pieces that would never fit anywhere else. I couldn't imagine ever letting them go again, like releasing them would be to surrender the best parts of myself.
When they move to a new town after their parents' separation, sisters april, may and june recover special powers from childhood-powers that come in handy when dealing with the living nightmare that is high school. The powers also help them cope with the hardest year of their lives. But could the magic have a greater purpose?
April, the oldest, can see the future. Middle-child May can literally disappear. And the youngest, June, reads minds. But when April gets a vision of disaster, the girls must come together to save the day or risk falling apart forever.
summ:
Callie cuts herself. Never too deep, never enough to die. But enough to feel the pain. Enough to feel the scream inside. Now she's at Sea Pines, a "residential treatment facility" filled with girls struggling with problems of their own. Callie doesn't want to have anything to do with them. She doesn't want to have anything to do with anyone. She won't even speak. But Callie can only stay silent for so long....
summ:
Was she still dreaming?
That was her first thought. That she
was still lying on her bed, having a nightmare.
Any moment now, she would wake up.
She had to. She stared at her trembling hands.
No. It wasn't a dream or a nightmare.
She was standing here on the upstairs landing,
and Derek had just phoned her.
NO! NO! NO!
That couldn't be. Derek was dead.

Twelve-year-old Ellie Tremont is b-o-r-e-d, and she wishes something, anything, would happen to make her feel alive.
So when fourteen-year-old Tommy Bowers moves in next door, with his floppy black hair, lanky swagger, and mysterious past, Ellie knows her summer is about to get a lot more interesting.
When Tommy suggests they start a camp for the kids on their street under their elderly neighbors’ porch, Ellie quickly agrees. And when Tommy gives her a diamond necklace that he says he bought, that he says is real, Ellie is suspicious-but smitten. By the time Ellie's parents step in and ask her to stop spending so much time with Tommy-he's a troubled kid, they say-she's already given him her heart.
