New Releases by AMY REED

For fans of The Grace Year and We Were Liars comes a mesmerizing, can''t-put-it-down psychological thriller—a gender-flipped YA Great Gatsby that will linger long after the final line On wealthy Commodore Island, Fern is watching and waiting—for summer, for college, for her childhood best friend to decide he loves her. Then Ivy Avila lands on the island like a falling star. When Ivy shines on her, Fern feels seen. When they''re together, Fern has purpose. She glimpses the secrets Ivy hides behind her fame, her fortune, the lavish parties she throws at her great glass house, and understands that Ivy hurts in ways Fern can''t fathom. And soon, it''s clear Ivy wants someone Fern can help her get. But as the two pull closer, Fern''s cozy life on Commodore unravels: drought descends, fires burn, and a reckless night spins out of control. Everything Fern thought she understood—about her home, herself, the boy she loved, about Ivy Avila—twists and bends into something new. And Fern won''t emerge the same person she was. An enthralling, mind-altering fever dream, Tell Me My Name is about the cost of being a girl in a world that takes so much, and the enormity of what is regained when we take it back.

Billy et Lydia n''ont pas grand-chose en commun si ce n''est leur ville oubliée du monde et l''absence d''une mère. Et pourtant, c''est ensemble qu''ils vont faire vaciller le monde. Alors que l''optimisme sincère et souvent naïf de Billy se heurte au cynisme de Lydia, leur amitié grandit. Pendant ce temps, les événements étranges se mutliplient : un brouillard épais enveloppe la ville, la maison de Billy semble se réveiller d''un long sommeil... Et Lydia recommence à danser, à vivre, à voler. Amy Reed signe un roman magistral, peinture sans concession de l''Amérique de Donald Trump, avec des accents de réalisme magique qui rappellent aussi bien Laura Kasischke que Garcia Marquez. À partir de 13 ans

What does it really mean to be "undocumented," particularly in the contemporary United States? Political philosophers, immigration policy makers, and others have tended to define the term "undocumented migrant" legalistically-that is, in terms of lacking legal authorization to live and work in one''s current country of residence. In Socially Undocumented, Reed-Sandoval challenges this "legalistic understanding" by arguing that being socially undocumented is to possess a real, visible, and embodied social identity that does not always track one''s legal status. She further argues that achieving immigration justice in the U.S. (and elsewhere) requires a philosophical understanding of the racialized, class-based, and gendered components of socially undocumented identity and oppression. Socially Undocumented offers a new vision of immigration justice by integrating a descriptive and phenomenological account of socially undocumented identity with a normative and political account of how the oppression with which it is associated ought to be dealt with as a matter of social justice. It also addresses concrete ethical challenges such as the question of whether open borders are morally required, the militarization of the Mexico-U.S. border, the perilous journey that many migrants undertake to get to the United States, the difficult experiences of the women who cross U.S. borders seeking prenatal care while pregnant, and more.

The Astonishing Color of After meets Eleanor & Park in this breathtaking and beautifully surreal story about a friendship between two teens that just might shake the earth around them or at the very least make them face some painful truths about the nature of what drives us apart…and what brings us together. Billy Sloat and Lydia Lemon don’t have much in common, unless you count growing up on the same (wrong) side of the tracks, the lack of a mother, and a persistent loneliness that has inspired creative coping mechanisms. When the lives of these two loners are thrust together, Lydia’s cynicism is met with Billy’s sincere optimism, and both begin to question their own outlook on life. On top of that, weird happenings including an impossible tornado and an all-consuming fog are cropping up around them—maybe even because of them. And as the two grow closer and confront bigger truths about their pasts, they must also deal with such inconveniences as a narcissistic rock star, a war between unicorns and dragons, and eventually, of course, the apocalypse. With a unique mix of raw emotion, humor, and heart, the surreal plotline pulls readers through an epic exploration of how caring for others makes us vulnerable—and how utterly pointless life would be if we didn’t.

Mas quem são essas garotas?Quem são as anônimas?Elas são todas as garotas do mundo!

Todas lo son, pero en el instituto Prescott empiezan siendo solo tres: Grace Salter acaba de llegar a la ciudad tras dejar la localidad en la que vivían por culpa de su madre, predicadora baptista convertida en una liberal radical. Rosina Suárez es la lesbiana punk del grupo, la «rara», y lo es mucho más en el seno de la conservadora familia mexicana a la que pertenece.

“Who better to raise teens’ awareness of mental illness and health than the YA authors they admire?” —Booklist (starred review) “[A] much-needed, enlightening book.” —School Library Journal (starred review) Your favorite YA authors including Ellen Hopkins, Maureen Johnson, and more recount their own experiences with mental health in this raw, real, and powerful collection of essays that explores everything from ADD to PTSD. Have you ever felt like you just couldn’t get out of bed? Not the occasional morning, but every day? Do you find yourself listening to a voice in your head that says “you’re not good enough,” “not good looking enough,” “not thin enough,” or “not smart enough”? Have you ever found yourself unable to do homework or pay attention in class unless everything is “just so” on your desk? Everyone has had days like that, but what if you have them every day? You’re not alone. Millions of people are going through similar things. However issues around mental health still tend to be treated as something shrouded in shame or discussed in whispers. It’s easier to have a broken bone—something tangible that can be “fixed”—than to have a mental illness, and easier to have a discussion about sex than it is to have one about mental health. Life Inside My Mind is an anthology of true-life events from writers of this generation, for this generation. These essays tackle everything from neurodiversity to addiction to OCD to PTSD and much more. The goals of this book range from providing a home to those who are feeling alone, awareness to those who are witnessing a friend or family member struggle, and to open the floodgates to conversation.

Grace vient d''entrer au lycée de Prescott après avoir déménagé. Dans la chambre de sa nouvelle maison, elle découvre des mots griffés sur le mur : Aidez-moi. Tuez-moi, je suis déjà morte. Ces mots, c''est Lucy, qui les a tracés. Lucy, qui a accusé trois garçons de Prescott de l''avoir violée. Lucy, qui a été traitée de menteuse par le reste du lycée. Lucy, que la police n''a pas écoutée. Lucy, qui a fui la ville avec ses parents. Très vite, Grace comprend que cette violence s''exerce à tous les niveaux dans la ville de Prescott : quand les joueurs de l''équipe de foot notent le physique des filles qui passent devant eux ; quand son amie Rosina doit éviter les avances des clients du restaurant où elle travaille ; et surtout sur le blog du moment, « Les vrais mecs de Prescott » dont la ligne éditoriale consiste principalement à considérer les femmes comme des objets. Grace, Erin et Rosina sont décidées à agir, mais elles ne peuvent le faire seules. À partir de 15 ans.

“A call-to-action to everyone out there who wants to fight back.” —Bustle “Scandal, justice, romance, sex positivity, subversive anti-sexism—just try to put it down.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Cuts straight to the core of rape culture—masterfully fierce, stirring, and deeply empowering.” —Amber Smith, New York Times bestselling author of The Way I Used to Be Three misfits come together to avenge the rape of a fellow classmate and trigger a change in the misogynist culture at their high school transforming the lives of everyone around them in this searing and timely story. Who are the Nowhere Girls? They’re everygirl. But they start with just three: Grace Salter is the new girl in town, whose family was run out of their former community after her southern Baptist preacher mom turned into a radical liberal after falling off a horse and bumping her head. Rosina Suarez is the queer punk girl in a conservative Mexican immigrant family, who dreams of a life playing music instead of babysitting her gaggle of cousins and waitressing at her uncle’s restaurant. Erin Delillo is obsessed with two things: marine biology and Star Trek: The Next Generation, but they aren’t enough to distract her from her suspicion that she may in fact be an android. When Grace learns that Lucy Moynihan, the former occupant of her new home, was run out of town for having accused the popular guys at school of gang rape, she’s incensed that Lucy never had justice. For their own personal reasons, Rosina and Erin feel equally deeply about Lucy’s tragedy, so they form an anonymous group of girls at Prescott High to resist the sexist culture at their school, which includes boycotting sex of any kind with the male students. Told in alternating perspectives, this groundbreaking novel is an indictment of rape culture and explores with bold honesty the deepest questions about teen girls and sexuality.

Tout le monde prévoit de mourir. Mais qui prévoit de SURVIVRE ? Elle a dit qu’elle n’avait pas besoin de moi. Elle a dit qu’elle ne voulait pas de mon aide. Elle a dit que tout était fini entre nous. Pourtant, elle m’a envoyé ce texto : « Viens me rejoindre à la plage. » Je ne devrais pas y aller. Nous ne nous toucherons jamais si je dois toujours la poursuivre. Sauf que j’ai le pressentiment bizarre qu’elle est en danger. Et si c’est vraiment le cas, je ne me pardonnerais jamais de ne pas avoir répondu à son appel... Pour les fans de Gayle Forman (Si je reste - Pocket), Jenny Downham (Je veux vivre - Pocket) et John Reed (Nos étoiles contraires - Nathan) La suite du roman Invincible. A propos de l''auteur : Jeune auteur talentueux, Amy Reed a trouvé dans l’écriture ce qui manquait à son adolescence troublée : une véritable passion. Avec Le jour où tu es revenue, elle va chercher très loin dans les émotions de Marcus et Evie.

In this raw, gut-wrenching, and beautifully written sequel to Invincible, Marcus continues Evie’s story of their intense romance, a stunning conclusion to this contemporary duology perfect for fans of Gayle Forman and Sara Zarr. Marcus knows pain. The kind that swallows you like a black hole. His brother committed suicide, his mother left him, and his dad ignores him inside their cavernous house. Relief seems to come only from drugs, alcohol, and secret acts of self-destruction. Until he met Evie. Together, they lived in the moment. They fell in love—hard—creating their own beautiful world. But they each had their own secrets, their own pain. Unforgivable takes off where Invincible ended—with Evie drowning in San Francisco Bay. Marcus finds her just in time, but her survival is not the happy ending he was hoping for. Forbidden from seeing Evie by her parents and unable to reach her, Marcus learns of a pain that might break him completely. The pain of losing Evie becomes tangled with the loss of his mother and brother, and he must face the ghosts he has been trying so desperately to outrun, or risk losing Evie forever.

The Fault in Our Stars meets Go Ask Alice in this dramatic romance about a teenage girl who survives a terminal cancer diagnosis, only to get trapped in the deadly spiral of addiction. Fans of Gayle Forman and Sara Zarr will be swept away by this gritty romance, the first in a duology. Evie is living on borrowed time. She was diagnosed with terminal cancer several months ago and told that by now she’d be dead. Evie is grateful for every extra day she gets, but she knows that soon this disease will kill her. Until, miraculously, she may have a second chance to live. All Evie had wanted was her life back, but now that she has it, she feels like there’s no place for her in it—at least, not for the girl she is now. Her friends and her parents still see her as Cancer Girl, and her boyfriend’s constant, doting attention is suddenly nothing short of suffocating. Then Evie meets Marcus. She knows that he’s trouble, but she can’t help falling for him. Being near him makes her feel truly, fully alive. It’s better than a drug. His kiss makes her feel invincible—but she may be at the beginning of the biggest free fall of her life.

Two teens must come to terms with their friend’s death in a car crash in this “haunting,” (Kirkus Reviews) gritty, and realistic novel from the author of Beautiful, Clean, Crazy, and Over You. When Kinsey’s best friend Camille dies in a car accident while Kinsey is behind the wheel, she shuts down completely, deciding that numbness is far better than mourning. She wants to be left alone during the last few weeks of high school, but Camille’s mysterious boyfriend Hunter, who was also in the car that night, has a different idea. Despite all of Kinsey’s efforts, she can’t shake Camille, who has been haunting her dreams. Consumed by survivor’s guilt, sleep deprived, and on the verge of losing it, she agrees to run away with Hunter to San Francisco. As the pair tries to escape both the ghost of Camille and their own deep fears, Kinsey questions how real her perception of her friendship with Camille was, and whether her former friend’s ghost is actually now haunting her. Hunter, meanwhile, falls into a spiral of alcoholism, anger, and self-loathing. Ultimately, Kinsey and Hunter must come to terms with what they’ve lost and accept that they can’t outrun pain.

Whatever your credit score, the number is critical. It''s how banks, credit unions and even property management companies decide if you''re creditworthy or not. Your past credit history is nearly 40 percent of your overall score. If it''s negative and your credit score is on the south side of 610, it can be a formidable obstacle to hurdle and put a serious "dent" in your personal lifestyle. For most people maxed out credit card debt can be the damaging culprit, but not as bad as totally ignoring your debt or seeing a notice from collection agencies or a regular basis.

This dissertation examines nine etchings by seventeenth-century Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn that are characterized by their variety of finishes and disparate elements on the same plate, and, for some, the feature of rotation of the print required to view each element in its proper orientation. Despite the intensity of scholarly examination given to Rembrant''s prints historically, these etched sketches have been treated in a cursory manner with little or no connection to other works in Rembrandt''s oeuvre, and they have certainly never been studied extensively as a group. This dissertation asserts that the etched sketches, while seemingly on the margins of Rembrandt''s oeuvre, should be viewed as dynamic objects through which Rembrandt brought together many of his most recognizable artistic motifs and techniques in new and challenging ways, essentially creating ambiguous images that simultaneously demonstrate his skill and provide opportunities for deeper engagement from viewers. The etched sketches provide access--through varied finishes, disparate elements on the same sheet, and the element of rotation--to how Rembrandt himself thought through their formation. With consideration of the etched sketches, the conception of Rembrandt as a printmaker becomes not only more provocative, but also more playful.

My dissertation provides a partial response to the question of what is owed by states to undocumented migrants in their territory. According to one prominent philosophical position, long-term undocumented migrants should be allowed to remain because they have become de facto social members of the society in question. I contend that this view, while important, neglects a different category of undocumented migrant: those who are oppressed while living in the new society. I argue that oppressed undocumented migrants are owed, as a matter of justice, a right to remain in the state where the oppression took place. To do this, I employ a bottom up philosophical approach in order to develop a descriptive and normative account of undocumented migrant oppression (i.e., what it is, and why it is unjust). I call those who are oppressed as undocumented migrants the "socially undocumented". I show why, in light of the normative account of undocumented migrant oppression, a right to remain for the socially undocumented is the only just solution to this perplexing social problem.

From the author of "Beautiful" comes a novel about two girls on the run from their problems, their pasts, and themselves. Max and Sadie are escaping to Nebraska, but they''ll soon learn they can''t escape the truth.
