Confessions of a Shopaholic
by Sophie Kinsella
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Party Crasher and Love Your Life comes âa hilarious tale . . . hijinks worthy of classic I Love Lucy episodes . . . too good to pass up.â (USA Today) âSophie Kinsella keeps her finger on the cultural pulse, while leaving me giddy with laughter.ââJojo Moyes, author of The Giver of Stars and The Last Letter from Your Lover Becky Bloomwood has a fabulous flat in Londonâs trendiest neighborhood, a troupe of glamorous socialite friends, and a closet brimming with the seasonâs must-haves. The only trouble is, she canât actually afford itânot any of it. Her job writing at Successful Saving magazine not only bores her to tears, it doesnât pay much at all. And lately Beckyâs been chased by dismal letters from the bankâletters with large red sums she canât bear to read. She tries cutting back. But none of her efforts succeeds. Her only consolation is to buy herself something . . . just a little something. Finally a story arises that Becky actually cares about, and her front-page article catalyzes a chain of events that will transform her lifeâand the lives of those around herâforever. Praise for Sophie Kinsella and Confessions of a Shopaholic âKinsellaâs Bloomwood is plucky and funny. . . . You wonât have to shop around to find a more winning protagonist.ââPeople âIf a crĂšme brĂ»lĂ©e could be transmogrified into a book, it would be Confessions of a Shopaholic.ââThe Star-Ledger âA have-your-cake-and-eat-it romp, done with brio and not a syllable of moralizing. . . . Kinsella has a light touch and puckish humor.ââKirkus Reviews

The Queen of Everything
by Deb Caletti
People ask me all the time what having Vince MacKenzie for a father was like. What they mean is, was he always crazy? High school junior Jordan MacKenzie's life was pretty typical: fractured family, new boyfriend, dead-end job. She'd been living with her father (the predictable optometrist) since her mother (the hippie holdover) had been too embarrassing to be around. Jordan felt like she finally had as normal a life as she could. But then came Gayle D'Angelo. Jordan knew her father was dating Gayle, and that Gayle was married. Jordan knew it was wrong, and that her father was becoming someone she didn't recognize anymore, but what could she do about it? And how could she -- how could anyone -- have possibly guessed that this illicit love affair would implode in such a violent and disturbing way?

Flipped
by Wendelin Van Draanen
A classic he-said-she-said romantic comedy! This updated anniversary edition offers story-behind-the-story revelations from author Wendelin Van Draanen. The first time she saw him, she flipped. The first time he saw her, he ran. That was the second grade, but not much has changed by the seventh. Juli says: âMy Bryce. Still walking around with my first kiss.â He says: âItâs been six years of strategic avoidance and social discomfort.â But in the eighth grade everything gets turned upside down: just as Bryce is thinking that thereâs maybe more to Juli than meets the eye, sheâs thinking that heâs not quite all he seemed. This is a classic romantic comedy of errors told in alternating chapters by two fresh, funny voices. The updated anniversary edition contains 32 pages of extra backmatter: essays from Wendelin Van Draanen on her sources of inspiration, on the making of the movie of Flipped, on why sheâll never write a sequel, and a selection of the amazing fan mail sheâs received. Awards and accolades for Flipped: SLJ Top 100 Childrenâs Novels of all time IRA-CBC Childrenâs Choice IRA Teacherâs Choice Honor winner, Judy Lopez Memorial Award/WNBA Winner of the California Young Reader Medal âWe flipped over this fantastic book, its gutsy girl Juli and its wise, wonderful ending.â â The Chicago Tribune âVan Draanen has another winner in this eighth-grade âhe-said, she-saidâ romance. A fast, funny, egg-cellent winner.â â SLJ, Starred review âWith a charismatic leading lady kids will flip over, a compelling dynamic between the two narrators and a resonant ending, this novel is a great deal larger than the sum of its parts.â âPublishers Weekly, Starred review
