Now streaming on Netflix and BBC iPlayer! The Breakfast Club meets
Pretty Little Liars in Gretchen McNeil's sharp and thrilling sequel
to Get Even. Perfect for fans of E. Lockhart, Karen M. McManus, and
Maureen Johnson. The members of Don't Get Mad aren't just mad
anymore . . . they're afraid. And with Margot in a coma and Bree
under house arrest, it's up to Olivia and Kitty to try to catch
their deadly tormentor. But just as the girls are about to go on
the offensive, Ed the Head reveals a shocking secret that turns all
their theories upside down. The killer could be anyone, and this
time he-or she-is out for more than just revenge. The girls
desperately try to discover the killer's identity as their own
lives are falling apart: Donte is pulling away from Kitty and seems
to be hiding a secret of his own, Bree is sequestered under the
watchful eye of her mom's bodyguard, and Olivia's mother is on an
emotional downward spiral. The killer is closing in, the threats
are becoming more personal, and when the police refuse to listen,
the girls have no choice but to confront their anonymous "friend" .
. . or die trying.
According to a recent U.S. census, approximately 2.5 million
children under the age of eighteen have experienced the death of a
parent. Losing a parent at such a young age can have devastating
consequences. Beyond the grief children and young adults
experience, they can be at risk for many negative outcomes,
including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress symptoms,
as well as diminished self-esteem. Their academic success and
relationships with others can also be adversely affected. For these
young adults, help is not always easy to find. In Parental Death:
The Ultimate Teen Guide, Michelle Shreeve offers a variety of ways
in which young people can cope with this tough experience. In
addition to outlining the universal difficulties of losing a
parent, the author also points out the unique dynamics of specific
losses--sons who lose fathers, daughters who lose mothers, sons who
lose mothers, and daughters who lose fathers-and what those losses
can mean for their future development. This book also identifies
how the challenges of life without a parent can affect a young
adult at different stages. Featuring real stories and quotes from
teens about their experiences, this book shows young adults a
variety of views about the death of a parent, and provides coping
strategies that young people can call upon to help them through
this difficulty. Parental Death: The Ultimate Teen Guide serves as
a valuable resource for all teens, whether they are dealing with
tragedy personally or are looking for ways to console friends or
siblings.

The Graveyard Book meets Hatchet in this eerie novel about a boy
who is stranded on a mysterious beach, from debut author Samantha
M. Clark. A boy washes up on a mysterious, seemingly uninhabited
beach. Who is he? How did he get there? The boy can't remember.
When he sees a light shining over the foreboding wall of trees that
surrounds the shore, he decides to follow it, in the hopes that it
will lead him to answers. The boy's journey is a struggle for
survival and a search for the truth--a terrifying truth that once
uncovered, will force him to face his greatest fear of all if he is
to go home. This gripping adventure will have readers hooked until
its jaw-dropping and moving conclusion. Samantha M. Clark's first
novel heralds the arrival of an exciting new voice.
