Gorgeously written and oh-so-deeply felt – Nicola Yoon, author of Everything Everything and The Sun is Also a Star

From the author of the New York Times bestseller All the Bright Places comes a heart-wrenching story about what it means to see (and love) someone for who they truly are.


Everyone thinks they know Libby Strout.

I know the part I want to play here at MVB High. I want to be the girl who can do anything.

Once dubed ‘America’s Fattest Teen’, she is only seen for her weight. Not the girl underneath.

Since her mum’s death she’s been picking up the pieces in private, alone with her heartbroken father.

But now, Libby is ready. She’s ready for high school, for new friends, for love and for every possibility life has to offer.

Everyone thinks they know Jack Masselin too.
Be charming. Be hilarious. Don’t get too close to anyone.

Yes, he’s got swagger, but he’s also mastered the art of fitting in.

What no one knows is that Jack has a secret: he can’t recognize faces. Even his own brothers are strangers to him.

He’s the guy who can re-engineer and rebuild anything, but he can’t understand what’s going on with the inner workings of his own brain.

When Jack and Libby meet, they discover that the more time they spend together, the less alone they feel.

It’s only with Violet that Finch can truly be himself – a funny guy who actually wants to experience the joy in life.

And when Violet’s with Finch, she forgets to wish away the days and starts to live them.

But as Violet’s world grows, Finch’s begins to shrink. He’s trying to cling on to his bright places, but will it be enough this time?

The Sun on Sunday (Fabulous Magazine)
‘So good I think it should be compulsory reading for everyone!’

‘John Green brilliantly captures the voices of a young generation while instilling it with the wisdom of a life that has lived too much yet will never live enough.
Rather than depressing, the book is filled with dark humour and is written with a beautiful simplicity that draws the reader in so deeply that it’s not just the twist and turns but the gently bends and curves that you feel tugging at your emotions… No doubt in the end you will cry but you will also feel that you have discovered a little something about living’

Bliss
‘If you need inspiration when it comes to making the most of a moment, this one is for you’

Mizz
‘Exploring the funny, thrilling and tragic business of being alive and in love, this is a life-affirming tale of two teenagers who are terminally ill. Insightful, bold, irreverent and raw, if this doesn’t make you cry, it’ll definitely make you think, laugh and maybe even fall in love yourself!’

One cold night, in a most unlikely corner of Chicago, Will Grayson crosses paths with . . . Will Grayson.

Two guys with the same name, running in two very different circles, suddenly find their lives going in new and unexpected directions, and culminating in epic turns-of-heart and the most fabulous musical ever to grace the high-school stage.

Told in alternating voices from two award-winning authors – John Green and David Levithan – this unique collaborative novel features a double helping of the heart and humour that has won both authors legions of fans.

An Abundance of Katherines

From the bestselling author of Turtles All the Way Down and The Fault in Their Stars, a beautiful tale of love, loss and not so fool proof mathematic equations.

When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton’s type is girls named Katherine.

And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped.

Nineteen times, to be exact.

On a road trip miles from home, this anagram-happy, washed-up child prodigy has ten thousand dollars in his pocket, a bloodthirsty feral hog on his trail, and an overweight Judge Judy-loving best friend riding shotgun – but no Katherines.

Colin is on a mission to prove The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, which he hopes will predict the future of any relationship, avenge Dumpees everywhere, and finally win him the girl.

Love, friendship, and a dead Austro-Hungarian archduke add up to surprising and heart-changing conclusions in this ingeniously layered comic novel about reinventing oneself.
