I Am Not Jessica Chen

“A creative twist on the classic Freaky Friday trope. This is a poignant exploration of what it means to be uniquely “you” and the struggles of wanting what you don’t have. The supporting characters are diverse and uniquely flawed, adding depth to Jenna’s character and propelling the story with its relatability. VERDICT Hand this to students who never feel like what they do is enough, who just want to feel seen, and who long for that moment of fame and feeling perfect. Highly recommended.”School Library Journal (starred review)

To Dream in Darkness

Two gods strike a bargain that leads them on a journey with devastating consequences in this lush historical fantasy from New York Times bestselling author Ann Liang. China in the age of brilliance, where gods freely wander the three realms. Amongst them is the cruel and beautiful Death God, who has never failed to collect a soul on time. Until now. For when he seeks out Rujia, the noble god of healing-and the only god he is fated to kill with his own hands-she makes him an offer he can't refuse: she will help lift the excruciating, century-old curse placed upon him if he gives her a one-month reprieve. Rujia knows she isn't as noble as everyone believes. Her deal with Death is merely an excuse to buy herself time while she figures out an escape plan. But when her plan causes the Celestial Palace's collapse and the beloved crown prince's disappearance, she and Death are both held responsible. The only way to avoid the wrath of all the other gods is to travel across the realms and safely retrieve the crown prince themselves. Yet the journey proves far more treacherous than expected. As the unlikely alliance between them blooms into more, and Death's resolve to kill Rujia weakens by the day, neither can outrun their intertwined fate without devastating consequences: A mysterious plague. An empire-destroying flood. A thousand deaths-and rising-to restore the balance Rujia's disrupted. And if Rujia continues to live despite the will of the Heavens, this is only the beginning...

Nemica di classe

Alice si è sempre sentita invisibile ad Airington, la prestigiosa scuola privata che frequenta grazie a una borsa di studio. In mezzo a figli di magnati, politici e celebrità, lei è solo 'la ragazza povera', quella che non conta. Ma quando scopre di poter diventare invisibile sul serio, il confine tra realtà e potere si sgretola. Con i suoi genitori in difficoltà economiche e la retta scolastica sempre più inaccessibile, Alice decide di usare la sua nuova abilità per sopravvivere. È allora che, contro ogni logica, si allea con il suo acerrimo nemico. Henry ha una mente brillante ed è arrogante, imperturbabile e inesorabilmente affascinante. Insieme danno vita a un progetto pericoloso: un'app dove chi paga può ottenere qualunque informazione, a patto che non chieda da dove venga. Dietro lo schermo, Alice diventa un fantasma silenzioso, un'anonima spia su commissione, pronta a svelare i segreti più oscuri dei suoi compagni e a ricavarne un profitto. Ma mentre la tensione tra lei e Henry cresce, le richieste degli utenti iniziano a superare ogni limite, sfociando nel crimine. È proprio allora che Alice dovrà decidere fino a che punto è disposta a spingersi e se è davvero pronta a pagare il prezzo delle sue scelte.
