New Releases by Lauren Oliver

From the bestselling author of E. B. White Read-Aloud Honor Book Liesl & Po comes a timely and relevant adventure story about monsters of all kinds--and a girl brave enough to save them. Cordelia Clay loves the work she and her father do together: saving and healing the remarkable creatures around Boston at the end of the nineteenth century. Their home on Cedar Street is full to the brim with dragons, squelches, and diggles, and Cordelia loves every one of them. But their work must be kept secret--others aren''t welcoming to outsiders and immigrants, so what would the people of Boston do to the creatures they call "monsters"? One morning, Cordelia awakens to discover that her father has disappeared--along with nearly all the monsters. With only a handful of clues and a cryptic note to guide her, Cordelia must set off to find out what happened to her father, with the help of her new friend Gregory, Iggy the farting filch, a baby dragon, and a small zuppy (zombie puppy, that is).

" O livro que inspirou a série do Prime Video. Até onde você iria para escapar da sua vida? Da autora best-seller Lauren Oliver, Pânico é um romance eletrizante, que vai deixar os leitores sem ar. Edição acompanhada sobrecapa da série. O Pânico começou como muitas coisas naquela cidadezinha claustrofóbica: era verão e não havia mais nada para fazer... Heather jamais pensou em competir no Pânico, um jogo perigoso disputado pelos formandos do ensino médio, em que as apostas são altas e a recompensa é ainda maior. Ela nunca se considerou destemida, o tipo de pessoa que lutaria para se destacar. Mas, quando encontra algo — e alguém — por que lutar, descobre que é mais corajosa do que imaginava. Dodge nunca teve medo do Pânico. O segredo que ele guarda vai servir de estímulo e levá-lo até o fim do jogo, ele tem certeza disso. O que Dodge não sabe é que ele não é o único com um segredo. Todo mundo tem um motivo para jogar. Para Heather e Dodge, o jogo trará novas alianças, revelações inesperadas e a possibilidade do primeiro amor — e o conhecimento de que, às vezes, aquilo que tememos é o que mais precisamos. Pânico captura tanto a energia bruta do medo quanto a necessidade dolorosa de encontrar um lugar para pertencer, em uma narrativa envolvente de amizade, coragem e esperança. "

“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.

Sharing this story for every child who will experience all the phases of growing up and being able to look back with a smile! Willy whistles morning, noon, and night! Join Willy as he adventures to and fro with a happy tune.

With all the intensity and whiplash turns of Sharp Objects and One of Us Is Lying, this engrossing psychological thriller by New York Times bestselling author Lauren Oliver is an unforgettable, mesmerizing tale of exquisite obsession, spoiled innocence, and impossible friendships. It’s been five years since Summer Marks was brutally murdered in the woods. Everyone thinks Mia and Brynn killed their best friend. That driven by their obsession with a novel called The Way into Lovelorn the three girls had imagined themselves into the magical world where their fantasies became twisted, even deadly. The only thing is: they didn’t do it. On the anniversary of Summer’s death, a seemingly insignificant discovery resurrects the mystery and pulls Mia and Brynn back together once again. But as the lines begin to blur between past and present and fiction and reality, the girls must confront what really happened in the woods all those years ago—no matter how monstrous.

In this third book in the exceptional Curiosity House mystery series by bestselling author Lauren Oliver and mysterious recluse H. C. Chester, four children must uncover the evil Nicholas Rattigan''s newest dastardly scheme, wage war with a rival freak show, and deal with a spy who may have infiltrated their happy home. Sam, Philippa, Thomas, and Max have just started to recover from their capture and subsequent escape from Rattigan. But the children''s lives don''t stay quiet for long. A slew of bank robberies is terrorizing the city. And when Professor Farnum, the ringmaster of the museum''s now immensely popular flea circus, is charged with murder, the search for the real killer uncovers a plot much bigger than any individual crime-a plot that can only be the work of Nicholas Rattigan.

With its gripping companion novel, Replica, this remarkable novel by the author of Before I Fall and the Delirium trilogy asks how to be a human being, in a world where humanity cannot be taken for granted. In the world outside of the Haven Institute, the replicas Lyra and Caelum are finding it hard to be human—and Lyra, infected at Haven with a terrible disease, finds her symptoms are growing worse. But in trying to find a cure, they uncover a shocking connection to their past, even as their future seems in danger of collapsing. Gemma just wants to go back to her normal life after Haven. But soon, she learns that her powerful father has other plans for the replicas—unless she and her boyfriend Pete can stop him. Bestselling author Lauren Oliver brings the Replica duology to a shocking close in Ringer. Like Gemma and Lyra, you won’t be able to leave the world of Haven behind after you’ve turned the last page.

«Dos chicas, dos historias, una novela épica.» Réplica narra la historia desde dos puntos de vista distintos: el de la réplica que vive como humana y el de la humana que vive como réplica. LYRA Desde lejos, el instituto Haven, escondido en una isla privada frente a la costa de Florida, parece tranquilo e incluso hermoso. Pero desde cerca, las puertas blindadas, los militares y los trajes de protección biológica cuentan una historia distinta. Haven es un centro de investigación clandestino donde miles de réplicas, o clones humanos, son creados, observados y estudiados. Pero un día Haven es atacado y dos de estos sujetos experimentales logran escapar: Lyra, o 24, y el joven 72. Ambos intentan adaptarse al nuevo y peligroso entorno cuando se cruzan con una extraña llamada Gemma, quiense ha embarcado en una arriesgada misión. Y mientras Lyra trata de entender el propósito de Haven, nuevos secretos salen a la luz. Secretos que cambian la vida de Lyra y de Gemma y que amenazan con alterar el curso de la historia. GEMMA Gemma ha pasado toda su vida entrando y saliendo de hospitales, convirtiéndose en una adolescente solitaria cuya vida gira en torno a la escuela, su hogar y su mejor amiga, April. Un día, un extraño la asalta asegurando conocerla, y a partir de este hecho Gemma comienza a investigar el pasado de su familia. La conexión de su padre con Haven, un centro de investigación secreto, es el detonante que la lleva hasta Florida, donde espera dar con la respuesta a todas sus preguntas. Sin embargo, cuando se cruza con 24 y 72, dos de las réplicas creadas en Haven, solo encuentra nuevas incógnitas. Y mientras Gemma intenta descifrar los misterios de Haven, descubre sobre su familia y sobre ella misma evidencias terribles que podrían destruir cuanto ama. Reseñas: «Eléctrica, desgarradora, excitante, y oportuna. Réplica es un fascinante dos por uno. Dos complejas heroínas, dos misterios desconcertantes, dos aventuras entretejidas, todo en una increíble novela.» Victoria Aveyard, autora de La reina roja «Lauren Oliver es la estrella emergente de la ficción juvenil.» The Sunday Times
