"Sie wünschte sich manchmal, sie könnte seine Gedanken lesen. Doch dann fragte sie sich, ob sie mit der Wahrheit leben könnte." In Honors Grundschulzeit gab es einen Jungen, an den sie sich ewig erinnern würde. Er war anders, als die anderen Jungs. Seine Haut war täglich bedeckt mit blauen Flecken und er hatte diese kleine Narbe unter seinem Auge. Er war ein Außenseiter, keiner konnte ihn leiden. Nur Honor. Sie wollte mit ihm spielen, während die anderen Kinder aus der Klasse Angst vor ihm hatten, weil ihn die Lehrer als ein grauenvolles Kind bezeichneten. Sie war ein glückliches Kind, mit einer glücklichen Familie, sie wollte, dass der traurige Junge auch glücklich werden würde. Doch er mochte Honor nicht, er mochte niemanden. Und dann, in der dritten Klasse, verschwand er. Der kleine Junge mit den Locken und den grünen Augen verschwand und kam nie wieder zurück. Doch was, wenn Honor diesen kleinen Jungen Jahre später wieder sieht? Wird sie all diese Rätsel lösen? Wird sie die kranke, gläubige Mutter von Harry überleben und endlich herausfinden, welches Band zwischen ihr und ihm wirklich steht? Für jemanden zu kämpfen, den man liebt, kann schwer sein, doch für jemanden zu kämpfen, mit dem du jeden Tod sterben würdest, ist schwieriger. written by @articulair

But as the pair grow closer, the stranger entrusts May with her brilliant secret: that she is half-Star in possession of otherworldly powers, and that a violent group of Star worshippers are out to destroy her. So if they want any chance of being together, they'll have to survive a deadly conflict between humans and mythological creatures first.

If you're judging this book by its cover and title, you're already proving the point this story wants to make. Try to move past this satirical obstacle in front of you. This is a story about bullying, and like the hundreds of other books on the topic, it will show you the harsh reality of being discriminated, belittled, ridiculed for something you cannot control- how you look, who you love, or what you believe in. But unlike these books, this story's sole purpose is not to tear your heart out of your chest as you mourn over your loss of faith in humanity. Instead, this book will make you laugh and love alongside these characters. Just like in life, there will be moments of dread and surrender, but there will also be moments of happiness, laughter, and love. - Naomi Lorraine, better known as Nerdy Naomi with her thick-rimmed glasses and straight-A report card, is the most unpopular girl in her school. Even with the help of her sarcastic comebacks, that doesn't stop her from getting bullied by everyone in Dartwell High. Every day her childhood bully, Raymond Meyers, knocks her off her feet, literally. However, she can't do anything but survive the laughs, insults, and bruises high school gives her. There are three senior transfer students, dubbed the Three Musketeers: Bennett Frazier, Jordan Wallace, and Declan Lynch. All in one day, Naomi catches their attention one by one. With her snarky attitude, but innocent look, they can't help but want her. But not the way you're thinking. Oh no, not like that. Instead, it's probably the whole opposite. It's quite simple really. She'll be their good girl. And they'll be her bad boys. ~ [This story is a first draft written by a 13 to 15-year-old girl so it has its fair share of grammar mistakes and plot holes.] Wattys 2015 Talk of the Town Award Second Place Story of 2015 Best Humor and Overall Points of The Fiction Awards 2016 Third in the Writers Awards 2016 Highest Ranks: #1 Humor, #1 Teen Fiction

Elle Grey doesn't need anyone. She only needs herself, a paintbrush, and if she gets desperate enough, there are the few people she actually tolerates that she can talk to. She knows that there's more out there in the world - in fact, she spends most of her time either daydreaming or painting about it. She knows that the South Dakotan town she's grown up in is only suffocating her. That's why she finds Harry so intriguing. He's different and he brings out something in her that she wasn't sure was still there. Suddenly she's second-guessing everything she has known her entire life - maybe she does need someone.

"Life is about deep kisses, strange adventures, midnight swims, and rambling conversations." -Unknown Running away wasn't the hard part of it. In fact, that took very little thought at all. Trying to figure out why it felt so right was what made it complicated. How a boy on a bus changes everything.

"Go ahead," I said, backing up against the pink wall of the shop. "Do something other than glare at me." I waited. One, two, three seconds... and nothing. I raised my chin at him. "You're boring me, mute boy." He stepped closer. Leaned toward me as his gaze burned into mine. Then... ❀ ❀ ❀ After three months in juvenile detention, it's time for Romy Pereira to help out with her family's flower shop. And it's not all bad... until they hire Jack Michel to work beside her. He doesn't speak, communicating with glares and scowls instead of words, and seems to be more interested in literal rocks than other human beings. And with an ex-convict mother, her friends drifting away, and the flower shop falling apart, the last thing Romy wants to deal with is Jack's attitude. She'll forever praise the day he screws up big time and gets himself fired, but until that day comes, it's mostly one cold-hearted girl, her silent (but still infuriating) coworker, and a whole lot flowers.

"Dich zu verlieren war etwas, womit ich nicht umgehen konnte." Das Schicksal verbindet Menschen, das Schicksal trennt Menschen. Aber manchmal weiß das Schicksal nicht, was es will und dann schlägt es zurück, und das mit Anlauf in violetten Socken, Metaphern, Küssen, Dramen, Eifersucht und großen Auftritten. Allerdings spielen Harry und Violet nicht ganz mit. Denn Harry mag Violet nicht und Violet mag Harry nicht. written by @articulair
