Collection: Young Adult

"A tender, heartfelt, and intelligent coming-of-age story that celebrates quiet strength and trusting your instincts." Starred Review -- Kirkus Reviews

Straight A student, talented artist, swim team star -- tenth-grader Lexie Moore is a shoo-in for Sunridge High's prestigious fine art program, if only she can find the right words to tell her dad she wants to apply.

Lexie's dad doesn't see the point of some overpriced art school. He wants Lexie and her brother at home to help him launch his new renovation business. He says he can't do this without her, so Lexie agrees to pitch in, just for a little while. If she supports his plan, then he'll have to support hers, right? It's only fair.

But Lexie's dad has a very different definition of "fair," and as his demands increase, his means of getting his way become more and more suffocating.

Red Flags and Butterflies is an engrossing story about a young person facing the realities of emotional abuse.

A rumor. A secret. A lie. A murder.

Charlotte is convinced that popular, pretentious Bellany Silverfield is out to get her. But it turns out somebody is--or was--out to get Bellany: Charlotte finds her high-school bully dead in the woods, having been brutally murdered. While Charlotte is desperate to find the killer, she would be lying to herself if she wasn't a little relieved that Bellany was finally done tormenting Charlotte and her friends.

But circumstantial evidence and rumors start circling around town, funneling suspicion towards Charlotte herself. Good thing Charlotte has her friends to support her...right?

As loyalties shift and friendships are tested, it looks like Bellany has one last cruel prank to play that will leave Charlotte behind bars...or worse.

From the bestselling author of SHE DRIVES ME CRAZY comes the rerelease of HER NAME IN THE SKY, the beloved YA sapphic romance--now with foil on the jacket and a new bonus chapter!

Hannah has big plans for senior year: football games, Mardi Gras parties, and spring break on the beach with her tight-knit group of friends. No drama, no detours. Just a year to remember.

Falling for another girl--her best friend, Baker--was not part of the plan.

Hannah knows she should date Wally, the earnest, dependable boy her sister is always teasing her about. She should be happy when Clay, the golden boy of their group, asks Baker to be his girlfriend. She should follow the rules of her traditional Louisiana town--especially those she hears from the pulpit--and bury the feelings that don't fit.

But how can she, when Baker makes boxed mac and cheese feel like a love language, when they share dog-eared books and secrets that crack something open inside her, and when being close to Baker feels less like a mistake and more like coming home?

Hannah must decide if she's willing to risk everything for the one girl who sees her clearly--and who might just feel the same way. If she and Baker are brave enough, this could be the start of everything.

FRAGMENTS - Journeys from Isolation to Connection

I feel like I'm a piece, a fragment that's missing all the good bits, but I don't know where to find the rest ... the parts I need to work properly. I bet they wouldn't fit anyway. (Lexy, age 17)

Eight young people navigating high school and beyond, each struggling to hold on - to family, to friends, to a piece of themselves. Perhaps you know them. The bubbly girl who keeps telling you she's okay. The high achiever who's suddenly so intense. The young teen obsessed with social media. The boy challenged by communication. Every single day they, and others, are working hard to keep it together. So hard, they don't see their friends are struggling, too. Through eight imagined stories, Fragments moves from a place of disconnection to connectedness.

The action of Fragments takes place in the minds and hearts of an ordinary group of young people. Their stories encompass anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, gender dysphoria, social media, bullying, family dysfunction, cross-cultural diversity and more, culminating in a sense of hope. Although set in Australia, their stories could take place anywhere.

From the Playwright: Rarely presenting as neat packages, mental health issues often involve feelings and behaviours with jagged edges and blurred origins. Fragments embodies the theme that stress at home, at school and in life is challenging young people beyond their usual coping abilities, leaving them disenfranchised and vulnerable. So much of adolescent life is spent looking inwards that it's perhaps not surprising that mental health issues are often internalised. I wrote Fragments to start a conversation. It's only when we speak openly about mental health issues - without fear or judgment - that we can chip away at the stigma that prevents many people from seeking help. It is my hope that the work will find its way into schools in Australia and overseas. The publication includes a comprehensive Study Guide, detailing activities and curriculum links for English, Drama/Arts, Health & PE, Civics and more.

A powerful and timely mental health resource for young people and their families. Essential reading for high school.

But when a drunken confession melts his resolve, he starts to wonder if some risks are worth taking.

As their vastly different worlds collide, they quickly realize that happily ever after doesn't begin with a kiss. Flora's picture-perfect life isn't as flawless as it appears, and Sean's dream of his future leaves no room for distractions.

With a new reality so different from the cruel one she was born into, Gwendolyn must learn to embrace the beauty within--and celebrate everything that makes us different.
