When you don't have many friends and not even the bullys really take notice of you, you get use to being by yourself. Thats exactly how it was for 16 year old Candice Jones. Candice has one friend (J.J), nobody else talks to her and she has grown to like that. Then Valentine's night she gets a note pinned to her window. She thinks whoever put it there must have had the wrong house and ignores it. But, after some time the letters are still coming. Why is someone sending notes to her? Will whoever it is come out of the dark?

Jacob has never been a happy child; he's never had a reason to be. He tries to take the good with the bad, but it's not that easy. Then his life starts to look up. His dad is back and demanding custody. He'll be away from his manipulative mother. But... Will that really change anything? Jacob isn't missing a big house to call home, or a parent to be his guardian. What he's missing, what he needs, is someone to hold him close. His dad tries to show affection, but Jacob has lived so long without it he doesn't know how to accept it. Then he meets Ryan, the rich kid who, for some reason, sees Jacob in an entirely different light than anyone ever has. But does Jacob see him in a different light? He isn't so sure.

Nothing ever goes well with a one-sided love. Especially when that love is with the boy who makes life a living hell. Erik has been crushing on Zack for as long as he can remember. Unfortunately, Zack has only shown interest enough to make him the laughing stock of the entire school. Erik, however, is an expert at keeping his feelings in check, never letting on about how he feels. That's how it's always been. But, with a single slip up, everything Erik's hidden can be pulled into the open. (This book has been edited properly since its initial publication.)

A letter takes Alice to a garden he didn't even know existed, and the rabbit hole takes him down to a world that he never thought was possible. There, he meets the storybook Mad Hatter, White Rabbit, Mouse, and the Cheshire Cat. Ironically, they seem to know him, but he doesn't know them. They also have a job for him, one he isn't sure he can do in a world where up is down and animals speaking are more common than people. He is told he must defeat the Queen of Hearts if he is to go home, otherwise he can never leave. Alice wonders if he can really do it.
