I feel invincible.
Like I could run and run
and never stop for breath.

I feel a power in me
I didn't know I had.

The power to speak,
to say what I need.

Surya knows exactly who they are. Coming out as non-binary to their queer parents and best friend? A total non-event. Catching feelings for Blessing - the boy in drama club whose smile makes their heart race? That's trickier.

As their final year of school unfolds and the two of them grow closer, Surya starts to question: Does Blessing really see them? Or just a version of them that doesn't exist? They'd ask their best friend for advice, but she's busy falling in love too. . .

With gorgeous illustrations throughout, Bad Queer draws us deeply into queer friendship, family secrets, and the necessary act of loving yourself. Perfect for fans of Alice Oseman, Dean Atta, and Sarah Crossan.

This is a love letter to queer futures - tender, curious, and fiercely alive.

In this contemporary romance full of magic and hope, a grieving teen with severe epilepsy scours New England for answers about her mystifying connection with a stranger, for fans of Rachel Lynn Solomon and Gayle Forman.

At seventeen, Lavender Lewis has had epilepsy for most of her life. Convulsions, hallucinations, you name it--she's experienced them all, more times than she can count. No medication, therapy, or diet has helped. Forget surgery--no one is scooping out a chunk of her brain. Her mom used to say epilepsy was magic, but how could it be, when all it's ever brought is suffering?

But after her mom's death, Lavender hallucinates a boy too real to be an illusion. Every time she seizes, he appears. Has her brain finally broken? Or is this the magic her mom always talked about? All she knows is this boy needs her help.

With her aunt, she road trips to Salem, MA, where Lavender feels closer than ever to her mom's spirit. All signs point to her mom guiding her from beyond the grave. Lavender couldn't save her mom, but maybe she can save this boy, who truly sees the girl beyond her seizures.

As their journey winds deeper into New England, a tender romance blooms--all while Lavender's health worsens. She can't help wondering: what if she's the one who needs saving?

For fans of Ann Liang and Lynn Painter, this humorous, relatable novel gives an honest look at what it's like to fall in love for the first time--while simultaneously healing from loss.

High school senior Mayte has never been kissed, but it hardly matters. Her abuelita has cancer, her half sister with special needs has moved in, and college is off the table--family comes first. She keeps her problems to herself; why burden everyone she loves with more?

Meanwhile, fellow senior Auggie is set on attending an elite creative writing program. But as the self-proclaimed most boring person alive, he can't exactly write the next great American novel when he's struggling to write a short story for college applications.

After an awful blind date ("disaster" doesn't even begin to describe it), Mayte and Auggie never want to see each other again. When forced together by their merging social circles, the pair must at least pretend to get along...but soon they develop actual feelings. Then tragedy strikes Mayte's family. Auggie feels compelled to write her story to help her process and heal--but are his intentions truly selfless? The best story he's ever written could impact the best friendships he's ever had.

How to Love You When You're Gone is equal parts heartbreaking, soul-healing, and absolutely hilarious from the very first page.

From the author of Monsters Born and Made comes an action-packed South Asian inspired fantasy that will have your heart racing at every turn.

Something lives in the darkness...something with teeth.

Seventeen-year-old Krescent Dune is buried under the weight of her dead parents' debt and the ruinous legacy they left behind. The only way she can earn enough money to escape her unforgiving island is by battling monstrous creatures in an underground fighting pit.

After a fight goes terribly wrong, she's banned from the pits. Now hopeless, she is offered a deal: in exchange for the erasure of her debts, she must join and protect a hunting party for a rescue mission deep within the mining caves beneath the island.

Krescent is determined to keep her head down and fulfill her role as the dutiful bodyguard, even though she is trapped underground with her childhood enemy and a company of people who would gladly kill her if they knew who her parents were. As they come across creatures she believed only existed in legends, it becomes clear they are in far more danger than she could have imagined.

But someone doesn't want her to make it out alive. And she'll have to figure out who before she's left alone...in the dark.

Sometimes, lost things find their way home...

Yorkshire, North of England, 1786. As the abandoned son of a lascar--a sailor from India--Heathcliff has spent most of his young life maligned as an "outsider." Now he's been flung into an alien life in the Yorkshire moors, where he clings to his birth father's language even though it makes the children of the house call him an animal, and the maids claim he speaks gibberish.

Catherine is the younger child of the estate's owner, a daughter with light skin and brown curls and a mother that nobody talks about. Her father is grooming her for a place in proper society, and that's all that matters. Catherine knows she must mold herself into someone pretty and good and marriageable, even though it might destroy her spirit.

As they occasionally flee into the moors to escape judgment and share the half-remembered language of their unknown kin, Catherine and Heathcliff come to find solace in each other. Deep down in their souls, they can feel they are the same.

But when Catherine's father dies and the household's treatment of Heathcliff only grows more cruel, their relationship becomes strained and threatens to unravel. For how can they ever be together, when loving each other--and indeed, loving themselves--is as good as throwing themselves into poverty and death?

This fresh take on an old classic subverts the default whiteness of the original text.
