After inheriting the dark Van Alen Legacy, Schuyler fled to Florence--with her forbidden love, Jack. Now the two of them must embark on the mission Schuyler was destined to complete: to find and protect the seven gates that guard earth from Lucifer, lord of the Silverbloods.As the Blue Blood enclave weakens yet further, fate leads Schuyler closer to a terrifying crossroads--and a choice that will determine the destiny of all vampires.

From real-life flight attendant T. J. Newman, who wrote this book at 35,000 feet while crisscrossing the country on redeye flights when her passengers were asleep, FALLING is a high-concept thriller built around a chilling question Newman would ask pilots, only to watch their faces go pale with fear: What would you do if before a flight, terrorists kidnapped your family and told you that if you did not crash the plane, your family would be killed?

Have you ever wondered what secrets lurk behind the closed doors of New York City’s wealthiest families? They're powerful, they're famous... they're undead. Schuyler Van Alen’s blood legacy has just been called into question—is the young vampire in fact a Blue Blood, or is it the sinister Silver Blood that runs through her veins? As controversy swirls, Schuyler is left stranded in the Force household, trapped under the same roof as her cunning nemesis, Mimi Force, and her forbidden crush, Jack Force. When one of the Gates of Hell is breached by Silver Bloods in Rio de Janeiro, however, the Blue Bloods will need Schuyler on their side. The stakes are high; the battle is bloody; and through it all, Carnavale rages on. And in the end, one vampire’s secret identity will be exposed in a revelation that shocks everyone.

Preparations are under way for the ball of the century. But as any true Blue Blood knows, it's the after-party that counts. And the cunning Mimi Force is getting ready to make sure her masquerade ball is the place to be for the Young, Fabulous and Fanged. But Schuyler Van Alen has more on her mind than fancy dresses, even if her crush Jack Force, is sure to make an appearance. She's getting closer to finding out what's been preying on the young vamps - and discovering the deadly secrets hiding under the masks. . . Rich with glamour, attitude and vampire lore, this second instalment in the Blue Bloods saga will leave readers thirsting for more.

"Volám sa Harriet Mannersová a som šprtka," hovorí o sebe hlavná hrdinka tejto knihy. Vie, že mačka má tridsaťdva svalov v každom uchu, že "okamih" trvá stotinu sekundy a že priemerný človek sa smeje pätnásť ráz za deň. Vie, že netopiere sa vždy vydajú doľava, keď vyletia z jaskyne, a že arašidy sú jednou zo zložiek dynamitu. No nevie, prečo sa jej v škole nikto nepáči. Preto keď ju osloví zástupca modelingovej agentúry, Harriet sa okamžite chytí novej šance, hoci to znamená spustiť lavínu nepríjemností a dokonca klamať ľuďom, ktorých miluje. Ide z jednej katastrofy do druhej a začína si uvedomovať, že svet módy nie je pre ňu. Harriet by chcela žiť v reálnom svete, lenže bude schopná zmeniť sa skôr, než všetko zničí?

If Naomi had picked tails, she would have won the coin toss. She wouldn't have had to go back for the yearbook camera, and she wouldn't have hit her head on the steps. She wouldn't have woken up in an ambulance with amnesia. She certainly would have remembered her boyfriend, Ace. She might even have remembered why she fell in love with him in the first place. She would understand why her best friend, Will, keeps calling her "Chief." She'd get all his inside jokes, and maybe he wouldn't be so frustrated with her for forgetting things she can't possibly remember. She'd know about her mom's new family. She'd know about her dad's fiancée. She wouldn't have to spend her junior year relearning all the French she supposedly knew already. She never would have met James, the boy with the questionable past and the even fuzzier future, who tells her he once wanted to kiss her. She wouldn't have wanted to kiss him back. But Naomi picked heads. After her remarkable debut, Gabrielle Zevin has crafted an imaginative second novel all about love and second chances. Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac is a 2008 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.
