Two kids meet in a hospital gaming room in 1987. One is visiting her sister, the other is recovering from a car crash. The days and months are long there. Their love of video games becomes a shared world -- of joy, escape and fierce competition. But all too soon that time is over, fades from view. When the pair spot each other eight years later in a crowded train station, they are catapulted back to that moment. The spark is immediate, and together they get to work on what they love - making games to delight, challenge and immerse players, finding an intimacy in digital worlds that eludes them in their real lives. Their collaborations make them superstars. This is the story of the perfect worlds Sadie and Sam build, the imperfect world they live in, and of everything that comes after success: Money. Fame. Duplicity. Tragedy. Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow takes us on a dazzling imaginative quest as it examines the nature of identity, creativity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play and, above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love.

From Gabrielle Zevin—the author of the critically acclaimed Elsewhere—comes the first book in the Birthright series, All These Things I''ve Done, a masterful novel about an impossible romance, a mafia family, and the ties that forever bind us. In 2083, chocolate and coffee are illegal, paper is hard to find, water is carefully rationed, and New York City is rife with crime and poverty. And yet, for Anya Balanchine, the sixteen-year-old daughter of the city''s most notorious (and dead) crime boss, life is fairly routine. It consists of going to school, taking care of her siblings and her dying grandmother, trying to avoid falling in love with the new assistant D.A.''s son, and avoiding her loser ex-boyfriend. That is until her ex is accidently poisoned by the chocolate her family manufactures and the police think she''s to blame. Suddenly, Anya finds herself thrust unwillingly into the spotlight--at school, in the news, and most importantly, within her mafia family.

With The Hole We''re In--a bold, timeless, yet all too timely novel about a troubled American family navigating an even more troubled America--award-winning author and screenwriter, Gabrielle Zevin, delivers a work that places her in the ranks of our shrewdest social observers and top literary talents. Meet the Pomeroys: a church-going family living in a too-red house in a Texas college town. Roger, the patriarch, has impulsively gone back to school, only to find his future ambitions at odds with the temptations of the present. His wife, Georgia, tries to keep things afloat at home, but she''s been feeding the bill drawer with unopened envelopes for months and never manages to confront its swelling contents. In an attempt to climb out of the holes they''ve dug, Roger and Georgia make a series of choices that have catastrophic consequences for their three children--especially for Patsy, the youngest, who will spend most of her life fighting to overcome them. The Hole We''re In shines a spotlight on some of the most relevant issues of today: over-reliance on credit, gender and class politics, and the war in Iraq. But it is Zevin''s deft exploration of the fragile economy of family life that makes this a book for the ages.

From the author of Elsewhere and the Birthright trilogy, Gabrielle Zevin''s Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac is an imaginative YA novel all about love and second chances. If Naomi had picked tails, she would have won the coin toss. She wouldn''t have had to go back for the yearbook camera, and she wouldn''t have hit her head on the steps. She wouldn''t have woken up in an ambulance with amnesia. She certainly would have remembered her boyfriend, Ace. She might even have remembered why she fell in love with him in the first place. She would understand why her best friend, Will, keeps calling her "Chief." She''d get all his inside jokes, and maybe he wouldn''t be so frustrated with her for forgetting things she can''t possibly remember. She''d know about her mom''s new family. She''d know about her dad''s fiancée. She wouldn''t have to spend her junior year relearning all the French she supposedly knew already. She never would have met James, the boy with the questionable past and the even fuzzier future, who tells her he once wanted to kiss her. She wouldn''t have wanted to kiss him back. But Naomi picked heads. Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac is a 2008 Bank Street - Best Children''s Book of the Year.

A.J. Fikry owns a failing bookshop. His wife has just died in tragic circumstances. His rare and valuable first edition has been stolen. His life is a wreck... Amelia is a book rep with a big heart and a lonely life... Maya is the baby left on A.J.''s bookshop floor with a note. What happens in the bookshop that changes the lives of these seemingly normal but extraordinary characters?

In the Age of Love and Chocolate is the story of growing up and learning what love really is. It showcases the best of Gabrielle Zevin''s writing for young adults: the intricate characterization of Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac and the big-heartedness of Elsewhere. All These Things I''ve Done, the first novel in the Birthright series, introduced us to timeless heroine Anya Balanchine, a plucky sixteen year old with the heart of a girl and the responsibilities of a grown woman. Now eighteen, life has been more bitter than sweet for Anya. She has lost her parents and her grandmother, and has spent the better part of her high school years in trouble with the law. Perhaps hardest of all, her decision to open a nightclub with her old nemesis Charles Delacroix has cost Anya her relationship with Win. Still, it is Anya''s nature to soldier on. She puts the loss of Win behind her and focuses on her work. Against the odds, the nightclub becomes an enormous success, and Anya feels like she is on her way and that nothing will ever go wrong for her again. But after a terrible misjudgment leaves Anya fighting for her life, she is forced to reckon with her choices and to let people help her for the first time in her life.

Sure, love is hell. But it,s totally worth it. In these supernatural stories by five of today''s hottest writers—Melissa Marr (Wicked Lovely), Scott Westerfeld (Specials), Justine Larbalestier (Magic or Madness), Gabrielle Zevin (Elsewhere), and Laurie Faria Stolarz (Blue is for Nightmares)—love may be twisted and turned around, but it''s more potent than ever on its quest to conquer all. From two students who let the power of attraction guide them to break the hard-and-fast rules of their world to the girl who falls hard for a good-looking ghost with a score to settle, the clever, quirky characters in this exciting collection will break your heart, then leave you believing in love more than ever.

In 2083, 17-year-old Anya Balanchine seeks a way to make Balanchine Chocolate legitimate, and although a trip to Mexico gives her new insights and ideas, escaping her mobster family''s legacy of violence may prove impossible.

Des de ben petits, en Sam i la Sadie comparteixen l''afició pels videojocs. Allà hi experimenten la llibertat i l''alegria que els manca al món real, on senten que no acaben d''encaixar. Quan es retroben anys més tard, decideixen apostar pels seus somnis i viure de la creació d''aquests universos fantàstics i imaginaris sense preveure, però, que ben aviat s''enfrontaran a un èxit imprevist i imparable que posarà en dubte la naturalesa de la seva relació. Aquesta és la història dels mons que construeixen els dos amics, perfectes però irreals, i també de la impossibilitat per adaptar-se a la ferocitat del que comporta el triomf: els diners, la fama, les identitats qüestionades i la tragèdia.

Una obra commovedora sobre els límits de l''amistat i l''amor, i una oda al refugi que ens ofereix la imaginació.

Cinq nouvelles douloureusement romantiques. Une passion dévorante conduisant à enfreindre les règles capitales, une intrigue amoureuse avec un séduisant fantôme qui n’a pas réglé tous ses comptes, un monde où l’amour est surnaturellement sens dessus dessous...

Két gyerek, egy kisfiú és egy kislány találkozik egy kórházban 1987-ben. A lány a leukémiában szenvedő nővérét látogatja meg, a fiú egy autóbalesetből épül fel. Közös témájuk, a videójátékok iránti rajongás – a bennük található lebilincselő világok, az izgalmas versenyek és a mindennapi élet bajai elől nyíló menekülési lehetőség – különös barátságot eredményez köztük. Mégis nyolc év telik el, mire ismét találkoznak, ám sorsuk innentől végleg összefonódik. Sam és Sadie az egyetemi éveik alatt futnak össze újra egy zsúfolt metróállomáson. A lány a fiú kezébe nyom egy floppy lemezt, amin a legújabb játéka található, amit az MIT haladó játékfejlesztés szemináriumára készített. Samet lenyűgözi a program, és meggyőzi Sadie-t, hogy alapítsanak egy játékfejlesztő céget, hogy megvalósítsák az álmaikat: tervezzenek játékokat, amelyek világai megigézik és beszippantják a kor egyre népszerűbb szórakozási formájának szerelmeseit. Hamarosan szupersztárok lesznek a területükön. A siker és a csillogás azonban nem várt kihívások elé állítja mindkettejüket. Gabrielle Zevin varázslatos és meghitt regénye egyrészt óda a videójátékok aranykorához; másrészt két ember története, akik a kreativitásukon keresztül keresik önmagukat, és introvertált személyiségük korlátait leküzdve igyekeznek felfedezni a szerelem és a szeretet különböző formáit.

Von der SPIEGEL-Autorin des Bestsellers aus den USA »Morgen, morgen und wieder morgen« Hinfallen, aufstehen, Krone richten: Aviva macht den Fehler ihres Lebens. Die ambitionierte Praktikantin im Kongress in Florida hat ein Verhältnis mit ihrem Boss. Natürlich ist sie es, die den Kopf dafür hinhalten muss. Sie wird zum Running Gag in jeder Fernsehshow, als Schlampe beschimpft und als Schandfleck im politischen Leben betrachtet. Die junge Frau sieht nur einen Ausweg – ihren Namen zu ändern und in eine kleine Stadt in Maine zu ziehen. Sie startet als Hochzeitsplanerin durch, versucht ihr Leben klüger zu leben und eine Tochter großzuziehen, die stark und selbstbewusst wird. Jahre später kandidiert sie für das Bürgermeisteramt. Doch Google garantiert, dass die Vergangenheit niemals Vergangenheit ist – im Internet ist alles für die Ewigkeit zementiert.

Als Naomi munt in plaats van kop had gekozen, zou ze niet terug de school in hoeven om haar camera te halen. Dan zou ze niet van de trap zijn gegleden en op haar hoofd zijn gevallen, en zou ze niet in een ambulance wakker zijn geworden met geheugenverlies. Ze zou zich absoluut nog haar vriend Ace hebben herinnerd. Ze zou zich ongetwijfeld hebben herinnerd waarom ze ooit verliefd op hem was geworden. En ze zou nooit James hebben ontmoet. Maar Naomi kiest wel kop. Ze valt van de trap en wordt wakker zonder enige herinnering aan de laatste vier jaar. Stapje voor stapje moet ze weer leren wie ze is en wat ze wil. En van wie ze nu echt houdt... Gabrielle Zevin schreef een ontroerende young adultroman over de liefde en het krijgen van een tweede kans.

Neste romance emocionante da autora best-seller de A vida do livreiro A. J. Fikry e Em outrolugar, dois amigos – que sempre se amaram, mas nunca foram amantes – se unem em uma parceria criativa na indústria dos videogames, um mundo que lhes traz fama, felicidade, tragédia, dúvidas e, de certa forma, imortalidade. Em um dia congelante de dezembro, no seu terceiro ano em Harvard, Sam Masur sai do metrô e vê, entre uma horda de pessoas esperando na plataforma, Sadie Green. Ele a chama. Por um momento, ela finge não ouvir, mas então se vira, e um jogo começa: uma colaboração lendária que vai levá-los ao estrelato. Esses amigos, próximos desde a infância, pegam dinheiro emprestado, pedem favores e, antes mesmo de se formarem, lançam seu primeiro sucesso, Ichigo. De um dia para o outro, o mundo é deles. Com menos de vinte e cinco anos, Sam e Sadie são brilhantes, bem-sucedidos e ricos, mas essas vantagens não vão protegê-los de suas próprias ambições criativas e das traições do coração. Abarcando mais de trinta anos da vida dos protagonistas, de Cambridge à Califórnia, passando por lugares distantes, reais e virtuais, Amanhã, amanhã, e ainda outro amanhã é uma história intrincada, imaginativa e tocante que examina a natureza múltipla e complexa de nossos fracassos, identidades e deficiências, das possibilidades redentoras dos jogos e, acima de tudo, de nossa necessidade de conexão, de amar e sermos amados. Sim, é uma história de amor, mas diferente de tudo que você já leu. Amanhã, amanhã, e ainda outro amanhã está em processo de adaptação para o cinema pela produtora Temple Hill e pelo Paramount Studios. "Simplesmente brilhante. Um dos melhores livros que já li" – John Green
