THE KING OF MY HEART
THE KING OF MY HEART At Saint Andrew High School, Samuel reigns supreme. Handsome, popular, and admired by everyone, he seems to have everything a teenager could ever want. Students envy him, teachers respect him, and no one dares to question his place at the top. On the opposite side of his world stands Victor. Quiet, lonely, and constantly overlooked, Victor moves through the hallways simply trying to survive another day. Used to mockery and contemptuous stares, he has convinced himself that staying invisible is the best way to avoid getting hurt. They have nothing in common. And yet, a simple accident in a crowded hallway is about to change everything. While Samuel should see Victor as nothing more than another face in the crowd, there is something about the quiet boy that refuses to leave his mind. What begins as an inexplicable curiosity slowly turns into an obsession, and then into feelings he never imagined he could have. Between appearances, secrets, social pressure, and forbidden emotions, two boys from completely different worlds will discover that the heart never follows the rules others try to impose. Because sometimes, the person who changes your life is the one you were never supposed to notice. A heartfelt story of love, self-discovery, and courage, where masks fall away and feelings become impossible to ignore.

On their first birthday, they learned to walk. One their fifth, they planted seeds in handmade pots. On their tenth, they learned there are some words you can never take back. Amanda's eleventh birthday should be a happy occasion.

SO not fair! Amanda can't wait for the day AFTER her birthday so she can stop thinking about the fight that led her and Leo to have separate parties for the first time in their lives. There's just one problem. The next day is her birthday all over again. In this hilarious and touching adventure, Amanda must figure out how to get unstuck, in more ways than one.
