Like a master painter herself, Daisy Whitney brings inordinate talent and ingenuity to this romantic, suspenseful, and sophisticated new novel.A beautifully decorated package makes it a must-own in print.

Filled with humor, raw emotion, a strong voice, and a brilliant dog named Sandy Koufax, When You Were Here explores the two most powerful forces known to man-death and love. Daisy Whitney brings her characters to life with a deft touch and resonating authenticity. Danny''s mother lost her five-year battle with cancer three weeks before his graduation-the one day that she was hanging on to see. Now Danny is left alone, with only his memories, his dog, and his heart-breaking ex-girlfriend for company. He doesn''t know how to figure out what to do with her estate, what to say for his Valedictorian speech, let alone how to live or be happy anymore. When he gets a letter from his mom''s property manager in Tokyo, where she had been going for treatment, it shows a side of a side of his mother he never knew. So, with no other sense of direction, Danny travels to Tokyo to connect with his mother''s memory and make sense of her final months, which seemed filled with more joy than Danny ever knew. There, among the cherry blossoms, temples, and crowds, and with the help of an almost-but-definitely-not Harajuku girl, he begins to see how it may not have been ancient magic or mystical treatment that kept his mother going. Perhaps, the secret of how to live lies in how she died.

When Alex Patrick was assaulted by another student last year, her elite boarding school wouldn''t do anything about it. This year Alex is head of the Mockingbirds, a secret society of students who police and protect the student body. While she desperately wants to live up to the legacy that''s been given to her, she''s now dealing with a case unlike any the Mockingbirds have seen before. It isn''t rape. It isn''t bullying. It isn''t hate speech. A far-reaching prescription drug ring has sprung up, and students are using the drugs to cheat. But how do you try a case with no obvious victim? Especially when the facts don''t add up, and each new clue drives a wedge between Alex and the people she loves most: her friends, her boyfriend, and her fellow Mockingbirds. As Alex unravels the layers of deceit within the school, the administration, and even the student body the Mockingbirds protect, her struggle to navigate the murky waters of vigilante justice may reveal more about herself than she ever expected.

Aria is an elemental artist-she creates fire from her hands. But her power is not natural. She steals it from lightning. It''s dangerous and illegal in her world. When she''s recruited to perform in a League of artists, she seizes the chance to get away from her family. But her power is fading too fast to keep stealing from the sky. She has no choice but to turn to a Granter-a modern day genie. She gets one wish and the price is extremely high. Aria''s willing to take a chance, but then she falls in love with the Granter . . . and he wants his freedom. Aria must decide how much she''s willing to bargain and how much her own heart, body, and soul are worth. In a world where the sport of elemental powers is as popular as the NFL, readers will be swept away by a romance with stakes higher than life and death. Critically acclaimed author Daisy Whitney brings thrilling (and dangerous) imagination to her second YA fantasy.

Some schools have honor codes. Others have handbooks. Themis Academy has the Mockingbirds. From the glossy pages of its admissions brochure, the prestigious Themis Academy appears perfect in every way: exceptional academics, extraordinary students, the kind of extracurriculars to make an Ivy League proud, and zero instances of student misbehavior. But this boarding school isn''t as pristine as it appears. There''s a dark underbelly to the perfect record the Themis administration flaunts. Student infractions are rampant, and it''s up to a secret vigilante society, the Mockingbirds, to maintain order on campus--a responsibility their members take very seriously. Alex Patrick never thought she would need the Mockingbirds. But when she''s date-raped by another student, she doesn''t know where else to go. As much as she''d like to forget what happened, she can''t escape the daily reminders of what went wrong that terrible night. Before she can summon the courage to take a stand, she''ll have to accept that her battle for justice is not hers alone. Standing up for someone, especially yourself, is worth the fight.
