      In Tithe, sixteen-year-old Kaye is a modern nomad. Fierce and independent, she drifts from place to place with her mother's rock band until an ominous attack forces Kaye back to her childhood home. There, amid the blue-collar New Jersey backdrop, Kaye finds herself an unwilling pawn in an ancient and violent power struggle between two rival faerie kingdoms--a struggle that could very well mean her death. In Valiant, the companion to Tithe, seventeen-year-old Valerie runs away to New York City, trying to escape a life that has utterly betrayed her. Sporting a new identity, she takes up with a gang of squatters who live in the city's labyrinthine subway system. But there's something eerily beguiling about Val's new friends. When one talks Val into tracking down the lair of a mysterious creature, Val finds herself torn between her affection for an honorable monster and her fear of what her new friends are becoming. In Ironside, the sequel to Tithe, the time has come for Roiben's coronation. Uneasy in the midst of the malevolent Unseelie Court, pixie Kaye is sure of only one thing--her love for Roiben. But when Kaye drunkenly declares herself to Roiben, he sends her on a seemingly impossible quest to find a faerie who can tell a lie. Unable to see Roiben until she has fulfilled his quest, Kaye finds herself in the center of the battle of wits and weapons being waged over his throne.

    • The Blacksmith would marry her. The Woodcutter would run away with her. The Werewolf would turn her into one of its own. Valerie's sister was beautiful, kind and sweet. Now she is dead. Henry, the handsome son of the blacksmith, tires to console Valerie, but her wild heart beats fast for another: the outcast woodcutter, Peter, who offers Valerie another life far from home. After her sister's violent death, Valerie's world begins to spiral out of control. For generations, the Wolf has been kept at bay with a monthly sacrifice. But now no one is safe. When an expert Wolf hunter arrives, the villagers learn that the creature lives among them - it could be anyone in town. It soon becomes clear that Valerie is the only one who can hear the voice of the creature. The Wolf says she must surrender herself before the blood moon wanes ... or everyone she loves will die.

      Before there was Eleanor and Park, there was Francesca and Will. A compelling story of romance, family, and friendship, with humor and heart, perfect for fans of If I Stay, The Spectacular Now, and Looking for Alaska. Francesca is stuck at St. Sebastian’s, a boys' school that pretends it's coed by giving the girls their own bathroom. Her only female companions are an ultra-feminist, a rumored slut, and an impossibly dorky accordion player. The boys are no better, from Thomas, who specializes in musical burping, to Will, the perpetually frowning, smug moron that Francesca can't seem to stop thinking about. Then there's Francesca's mother, who always thinks she knows what's best for Francesca—until she is suddenly stricken with acute depression, leaving Francesca lost, alone, and without an inkling of who she really is. Simultaneously humorous, poignant, and impossible to put down, this is the story of a girl who must summon the strength to save her family, her social life, and—hardest of all—herself. Melina Marchetta is the Printz-winning author of Jellicoe Road, as well as Looking for Alibrandi and Finnikin of the Rock.

      Na svadbe svoje nevlastnej sestry si Izzie farbí vlasy na zeleno, aby ladili s jej smaragdovým šatami, no to ju ešte nerobí extravagantnou (aspoň nie viac ako akúkoľvek inú štrnásťročnú). Má síce záľubu v astrológii a všetkom, čo súvisí s novou érou, ale nikdy sa nezbláznila do chlapcov, ako jej kamarátky Lucy a Nesta. Dokonca je presvedčená, že sa nikdy nezamiluje, až kým ju neohromí Mark, fešák, ktorý jej posiela očné signály, ale potom nezavolá a necháva ju v napätí. Preto sú chlapci tragicky nespolehliví. Izzie a jej najlepšie priateľky si myslia, že dievčatá by mali mať dostatok rozumu na to, aby si samy stanovili pravidlá vo vzťahu.

      Dívčí román ze školního prostředí o láske, priateľstve a trampotách okolo dospievania. Čtrnáctročná Lucy má hlavu plnú starostí a pripadá jej, že sa jej život vymkol z rúk. V škole dostali za úlohu uvažovať o svojom budúcom povolaní a napísať esej na tému: Prečo som ja "ja"? Pre Lucy je to nadľudský úkol. Nemá vôbec potuchy o tom, čo ju vlastne najviac baví a čím by chcela byť. Navyše si vedľa svojej kamarátky Izzie pripadá ako ošklivé káčatko - je totiž malá, s chlapčenskou postavou a nikto by jej nehádal viac než dvanásť. A aby toho nebolo málo, zamiluje sa do chlapca, ktorého raz zahliadne na ulici. Aké je jej prekvapenie, keď náhodou zistí, že onen neznámy je brat Nesty - spolužiačky, ktorá je v meste nová a o ktorej má Lucy pocit, že rozbíja jej priateľstvo s Izzie. Zkrátka starostí a problémov až nad hlavu. Podaří sa Lucy získať Tonyho sympatie? Ako sa vyvrbí vzťahy medzi Izzie, Lucy a Nestou? A čo školská esej? Odpovede čitateľkám poskytne táto kniha.
