Sparkling white snowdrifts, beautiful presents wrapped in ribbons, and multicolored lights glittering in the night through the falling snow. A Christmas Eve snowstorm transforms one small town into a romantic haven, the kind you see only in movies. Well, kinda. After all, a cold and wet hike from a stranded train through the middle of nowhere would not normally end with a delicious kiss from a charming stranger. And no one would think that a trip to the Waffle House through four feet of snow would lead to love with an old friend. Or that the way back to true love begins with a painfully early morning shift at Starbucks. Thanks to three of today''s bestselling teen authors - John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle - the magic of the holidays shines on these hilarious and charming interconnected tales of love, romance, and breathtaking kisses.

The Upside-Down Magic kids are back in another topsy-turvy adventure in the next installment of this New York Times bestselling series, now a Disney Channel Original Movie! Some people in school are afraid of the kids in the Upside-Down Magic class. Others just call them flops. But Nory and her friends in Upside-down Magic won''t let that stop them.

Pepper is worried that her abilities as a Fierce will make all the animals in the show run wild. Bax has some extreme new magic skills, but they can also be extremely embarrassing.

Nory Horace vient d’une famille de grands magiciens. Mais quand elle veut se transformer en un petit chat noir tout mignon, rien ne va plus... et elle devient mi-chaton, mi-dragon ! Plus moyen de se contrôler : elle grignote les livres de son père, saccage la salle de bains, croque tout ce qui lui tombe sous les pattounes... Que de dégâts ! Nory rentre alors à l’école des magiciens, où les élèves de sa classe spéciale pratiquent eux aussi une magie « sens-dessus-dessous ». Évidemment, ils sont la risée de l’école. Et ce n’est pas en se transformant en éléphant-putois devant tout le monde que Nory arrivera à se faire des amis. Prête à tout pour être acceptée, Nory s’entraîne avec Elliott, un autre magicien qui, lorsqu’il veut faire du feu, ne parvient qu’à créer de la glace. Nory finira par s’apercevoir que, en unissant ses dons farfelus avec ceux du reste de sa classe pour aider un ami, ils peuvent aussi se rendre capable du meilleur. Être « bizarre » n’est peut-être pas si mal, après tout !

And, yes, most people weren''t prepared for Nory to transform into a squippy (that''s half squid, half puppy) -- but it''s not like Nory meant to mix up paws and tentacles. And while Bax does have the unfortunate magical condition of turning into a stone, he swears he has nothing to do with the rocky magic that''s been happening in Dunwiddle''s halls. When things get messy, it''s easy to point your finger at the kids with the messiest magic. But the Upside-Down Magic students aren''t going to let themselves get in trouble. Instead, they''re going to find out what''s really going on -- and get their school back on track before something really wacky happens.

Un bestseller venuto dal passaparola Il vero amore si riconosce in un momento Un romanzo che ha conquistato milioni di lettori Per tutta la vita Wren Gray non ha fatto altro che compiacere i genitori, fino a far coincidere i suoi desideri con i loro. Ma ora che il giorno del diploma si sta avvicinando, Wren si rende conto che qualcosa è cambiato in lei, che forse è arrivato il momento di cercare la sua strada, di seguire il suo istinto e i suoi sogni. Ma non è facile capire che cosa desidera veramente e per chi batte il suo cuore... Charlie Parker invece sa benissimo che cosa desidera: Charlie ama Wren, e la ama dal primo momento in cui l’ha vista. Ma Wren è bellissima, brillante e sexy, e lui è sicuro che una ragazza così non potrà mai innamorarsi di un ragazzo timido e problematico come lui. Eppure il destino è scritto nelle stelle, e quando la scuola finisce e arriva finalmente l’estate, Wren e Charlie si troveranno uno accanto all’altra. Per un momento infinito i loro corpi si toccano, le loro anime si sfiorano, e sopra di loro il cielo sarà il magico testimone dell’inizio del loro grande amore... La scrittrice più censurata d''America New York Times bestseller Una storia sexy, romantica e indimenticabile sul primo amore e la prima volta Il destino è scritto nelle stelle? «Il racconto romantico di un amore travolgente. Le scene erotiche sono descritte con innocenza e senza veli...» Kirkus Reviews «La storia appassionante di un amore che si basa sulla fiducia e il rispetto reciproci. Una bella novità per gli adolescenti, abituati ai modelli proposti dai media.» Publishers Weekly Lauren Myracle Vive con la sua famiglia a Fort Collins, Colorado.

For as long as she can remember, Wren Gray’s goal has been to please her parents. But as high school graduation nears, so does an uncomfortable realization: Pleasing her parents once overlapped with pleasing herself, but now . . . not so much. Wren needs to honor her own desires, but how can she if she doesn’t even know what they are? Charlie Parker, on the other hand, is painfully aware of his heart’s desire. A gentle boy with a troubled past, Charlie has loved Wren since the day he first saw her. But a girl like Wren would never fall for a guy like Charlie—at least not the sort of guy Charlie believes himself to be. And yet certain things are written in the stars. And in the summer after high school, Wren and Charlie’s souls will collide. But souls are complicated, as are the bodies that house them . . . Sexy, romantic, and oh-so-true to life, this is an unforgettable look at first love from one of young adult fiction’s greatest writers. Praise for The Infinite Moment of Us STARRED REVIEW "The scenes of sexual intimacy are described with innocently erotic frankness, offering an ideal (if not idealized) model for readers on the cusp; this is Forever... for a new generation, offering character depth Cath and Michael never achieved. Summer love has never been so good." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review "In contrast to unhealthy depictions of sex and relationships that teenagers (and adults) are often exposed to in media and entertainment, Myracle offers up a passionate romance built on a bedrock of love, respect, and trust. And it’s difficult to see that as a bad thing." —Publishers Weekly "Two mature recent high school graduates fall in love and bring out the best in each other in Lauren Myracle''s thoughtful exploration of an intimate relationship...the relationship between Wren and Charlie always remains realistic and involving." —Shelf Awareness "This charming romance has multidimensional characters, straightforward sexuality, and a pace that lets readers fall in love with the main characters. Myracle expertly captures the intense connection of first love, from the need to spend every moment together to trying to figure out how to communicate with one another." —School Library Journal "The single-focus intensity of Wren and Charlie’s feelings is spot-on for the age group... chapters move between both their perspectives as they grow into the relationship, offering readers of both sexes a rather compelling example of the how-to’s of intimacy." —The Bulletin of The Center for Children’s Books

From the author of the break-out hit ttyl, a dark and utterly readable take on the hierarchy of high school girls. There are Gossip Girls and Mean Girls but no one has come as close to the dark heart of high-school girl politics as Lauren Myracle does in this shivery smart, wonderfully strange story of a high school where popularity can be stolen. No one notices Jane—not the jocks, the stoners, the debaters, the drama geeks, the cheerleaders, and especially not the Bitches, the school royalty made up of one girl from each class who''s so transcendently beautiful and fascinating that no one can help but worship her. Imagine Jane''s surprise when the Bitches approach her to be their freshman member. She wants this kind of popularity more than anything, but when she discovers the sinister secret of the Bitches'' power, she''s forced to make the toughest choice of her life. This savagely funny book will be the talk of the season. F&P level: Z+
