"Being reunited with your childhood best friend after eight years apart? Sounds like a heart-warming story. Finding out that said best friend is now a complete jerk who's determined to make your life hell? Not so much." Georgie and Connor were once inseparable. Best friends from birth, they did everything together - well, that was until Connor's dad got a once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity and the family was forced to relocate to New York. At age sixteen, Georgie's life is totally different - her main goal being to keep her head down and escape the brutalities of high school with as little emotional scarring as possible. Balancing school, work and her dwindling social life is enough of a challenge, but it's about to get a bit more complicated when her conceited ex-best friend gets thrown into the mix. Maybe friendship should come with an instruction booklet.

When 17 year old November Jones accidentally burns off her left eyebrow in a freak accident, she brushes it off. Nothing a bit of makeup can't fix, right? But when she finds herself shoved into the backseat of her own car as a couple of very big, very bad, and very dangerous-looking men drive off with it, things can't be so easily fixed...especially since it's not just her missing eyebrow that needs to be covered, it's also the fact that one of the most wanted criminal organizations in the country accidentally kidnapped a teenage girl while trying to escape a drug deal gone wrong. Could things get any worse? Well, with a girl like November in the mix, the answer is yes.

A fear of flying is one thing. Being seated next to a Tetris-addict who claims to be the Reaper is quite another. "He pulled out a business card. Where his profession should have been stated, the card read 'Destroyer of Worlds'. Nodding slowly, I pocketed the card."

❝ Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional.❞ -Walt Disney ☃ ♪☃ ♪☃ It's Ellie McGillicuddy's Junior Year in high school. She's especially excited because she's joined theatre club and third year is known for having presented the best plays ever. She's convinced her best friend Celia to join with her, and everything seems to be going according to plan. But she suddenly feels like the whole world is conspiring against her when she very unfortunately has to work with a less than tolerable human being, who's been cast along with her, and whose interest in the school play and Disney in general are slim to none -actually none more than slim. So this is where Ellie McGillicuddy's difficult quest begins, and the results will determine whether she can pull off her current dream of starring in the school musical, or succumbing to her partner's negative attitude and giving up completely. ☢WARNING☢: Stories range from crazy mouse chasing, random sing-alongs with hot crustacean bands, being swift as a coursing river to become a man to defeat the Huns, being hypnotized by a mass of red hair, to people turning into llamas.
