"With a good friend like Loonie the yellow balloon, anything is possible. From neighborhood walks to reading aloud in bed to dance parties in your room, Loonie makes each activity a little brighter, a little fuller of sunshine. But as one child discovers with sadness, when it's time for Loonie to float away home, the sunshine goes, too. It's not as fun to have a dance party alone. And while tending to the garden helps a little bit, the world outside the window is silent and gray. Until, one day, as flowers start to push up from the soil, big and full of hope, the memory of Loonie begins to emerge in unexpected places. With tender empathy, and charming and whimsical art by Ashling Lindsay, Printz Award winner Nina LaCour illuminates the childhood companions that bring a little magic to the world"--Publisher's description.

V deň, keď sa utopil jej starý otec, ktorý ju vychovával, sa otočila San Franciscu chrbtom. Odletela na univerzitu do New Yorku a s nikým z rodného mesta viac neprehovorila. Zo strachu? Z hanby? Alebo utiekla pred smútkom? Blížia sa však zimné prázdniny, a hoci sa Marin rozhodla stráviť Vianoce vo vyľudnenom internáte, musí ešte pretrpieť trojdňovú návštevu bývalej najlepšej kamarátky Mabel. Za tie mesiace jej neodpovedala na stovky esemesiek ani desiatky telefonátov. Čakajú ju tri dni plné spomínania na svoje staré ja. Tri dni prežívania toho posledného leta na Západnom pobreží. Tri dni osamote v snehovej víchrici, kde sa nedá pred otázkami ani pravdou ujsť.

You Know Me Well is a deeply honest story about navigating the joys and heartaches of first love, one truth at a time. Who knows you well? Your best friend? Your boyfriend or girlfriend? A stranger you meet on a crazy night? No one, really? Mark and Kate have sat next to each other for an entire year, but have never spoken. For whatever reason, their paths outside of class have never crossed. That is until Kate spots Mark miles away from home, out in the city for a wild, unexpected night. Kate is lost, having just run away from a chance to finally meet the girl she has been in love with from afar. Mark, meanwhile, is in love with his best friend Ryan, who may or may not feel the same way. When Kate and Mark meet up, little do they know how important they will become to each other -- and how, in a very short time, they will know each other better than any of the people who are supposed to know them more.

And along the way, she finds Ava, and at long last, Emi’s own hidden life begins to bloom.
