Não há época mais feliz que o Natal! Bem, dessa vez Lily não está tão animada assim, mas seu namorado, Dash, está prestes a tornar a data inesquecível (para o bem ou para o mal?). Os doze dias de Dash & Lily é a continuação do romance natalino O caderninho de desafios de Dash & Lily, sucesso também na Netflix. O namoro de Dash e Lily não anda muito bem das pernas. Depois do apaixonante encontro dos dois em O caderninho de desafios de Dash & Lily, o romance parece ter esfriado, mas não sem motivo, afinal de contas, o ano não foi fácil. O amado avô de Lily sofreu um infarto, e ela agora precisa conciliar os estudos, o trabalho como passeadora de cães, todo auxílio que o vovô requer e, ufa, o relacionamento com Dash. Em meio a uma rotina tão cansativa, a personalidade vibrante de Lily parece estar se apagando. Por isso, seu irmão, Langston, decide deixar de lado a implicância com Dash para que os dois possam planejar juntos uma maneira de animá-la. Dash parece ter a ideia perfeita! O que ele não sabe é que parte da tristeza de Lily é culpa dele, que nem ao menos respondeu ao "eu te amo" dela. Mas é óbvio que ele a ama (mesmo que não diga com todas as palavras). Faltanto apenas doze dias para o Natal, ele resolve pôr em prática o plano de recuperar o espírito natalino da namorada . Ainda que eventos desagradáveis continuem surgindo e nenhuma de suas surpresas pareça dar muito certo, Dash não vai desistir de tornar a época favorita de Lily em um momento especial.

Personagens intrigantes e uma escrita esplêndida" – Kirkus Reviews "Temperado com humor afiado e referências a uma Nova York atual... Uma verdadeira comédia romântica" – Publishers Weekly "Hilário e sincero, [captura] as emoções do amor adolescente, com uma dose da irreverência da vida de um jovem adulto." – School Library Journal

O caderninho de desafios de Dash & Lily é o livro que inspirou a série da Netflix. O Natal está quase chegando, o que é motivo de grande alegria para Lily, que sente que chegou a hora, finalmente, de se apaixonar. Para encontrar sua cara-metade de forma nada óbvia, ela montou, junto de seu irmão, um plano: deixou um caderninho vermelho repleto de tarefas em uma das prateleiras de sua livraria favorita – e mais caótica, vale ressaltar – da cidade, na expectativa de que o cara certo apareça e aceite o desafio. Dash, que não é exatamente um fã do período natalino, encontra o caderninho na sua também favorita livraria e decide – por que não? – topar a missão. Intrigado e curioso, ele completa as primeiras tarefas, e os dois passam a se comunicar e conhecer um ao outro utilizando como ponte o caderninho, que é deixado e resgatado, a cada vez, em um ponto diferente de Manhattan. Mas Dash é mesmo o cara certo? A conexão entre eles é imbatível, no entanto, à medida que o tempo passa, os dois começam a questionar se sua relação está destinada a permanecer apenas nas páginas de papel ou poderão, um dia, alçar voo e ganhar vida e cores. Será que suas versões em carne e osso conseguirão manter essa crescente sintonia? Ou tudo isso revelará ser apenas uma cômica e desastrosa bagunça? Co-escrito por David Levithan e Rachel Cohn e indicado ao prêmio Goodreads Choice Awards de Melhor Ficção Young Adult, O caderninho de desafios de Dash & Lily é uma divertida – e natalina – história que fará os leitores vasculharem as prateleiras das livrarias em busca de um específico caderninho vermelho e, é claro, um amor. Perfeito para fãs de Emily em Paris, Para todos os garotos que já amei e A barraca do beijo. "O livro realmente transporta o leitor para a cidade de Nova York, dando um vislumbre de como é o Natal por lá." – The Guardian

Nun, da Zhara die Wahrheit kennt, ist sie fest entschlossen, ihren Klon aus dem Weg zu räumen. Elysia weiß um Zharas Schmerz, doch kann und will sie ihren Platz nicht aufgeben.

The New York Times Bestselling duo behind Nick & Norah''s Infinite Playlist and The Twelve Days of Dash & Lily return with twins out to throw the party of a lifetime--or at least the best party of high school! Siblings Sam and Ilsa Kehlmann have spent most of their high school years throwing parties for their friends--and now they''ve prepared their final blowout, just before graduation. The rules are simple: each twin gets to invite three guests, and the other twin doesn''t know who''s coming until the partiers show up at the door. With Sam and Ilsa, the sibling revelry is always tempered with a large dose of sibling rivalry, and tonight is no exception. One night. One apartment. Eight people. What could possibly go wrong? Oh, we all know the answer is plenty. But plenty goes right, as well . . . in rather surprising ways.

"I''m here to take you to live with your father. In Tokyo, Japan! Happy birthday!" In the Land of the Rising Sun, where high culture meets high kitsch, and fashion and technology are at the forefront of the First World''s future, the foreign-born teen elite attend ICS -- the International Collegiate School of Tokyo. Their accents are fluid. Their homes are ridiculously posh. Their sports games often involve a (private) plane trip to another country. They miss school because of jet lag and visa issues. When they get in trouble, they seek diplomatic immunity. Enter foster-kid-out-of-water Elle Zoellner, who, on her sixteenth birthday, discovers that her long-lost father, Kenji Takahara, is actually a Japanese hotel mogul and wants her to come live with him. Um, yes, please! Elle jets off first class from Washington, DC, to Tokyo, which seems like a dream come true. Until she meets her enigmatic father, her way-too-fab aunt, and her hyper-critical grandmother, who seems to wish Elle didn''t exist. In an effort to please her new family, Elle falls in with the Ex-Brats, a troop of uber-cool international kids who spend money like it''s air. But when she starts to crush on a boy named Ryuu, who''s frozen out by the Brats and despised by her new family, her already tenuous living situation just might implode. My Almost Flawless Tokyo Dream Life is about learning what it is to be a family, and finding the inner strength to be yourself, even in the most extreme circumstances.

Ce ai face dacă ai găsi o carte ce te-ar provoca la un joc de-a v-ați ascunselea cu indicii? Ai accepta provocarea sau ai pune cartea înapoi în raft? Lily a lăsat în raftul librăriei preferate din New York un jurnal plin de provocări, care așteaptă să fie găsit de băiatul potrivi. Acesta este Dash, un adolescent în vârstă de 17 ani, pasionat de cărți și cu o repulsie nemărginită față de tot ce înseamnă sărbătoarea Crăciunului. El acceptă regulile jocului fetei. Dar sunt ei făcuți unul pentru celălalt? Deși par a se potrivi perfect în ceea ce privește exprimarea în scris, întâlnirile lor nu sunt lipsite de surprize și le pun în pericol relația încă dinainte ca aceasta să se înfiripe. Rachel Cohn și David Levithan au scris o poveste de dragoste care îi va face pe tineri să scotocească prin rafturile librăriilor, căutând și tânjind după o iubire (și un jurnal) care să fie numai a lor. “Cititorii vor fi încântați de limbajul spumos și de răsturnările amuzante de situație.“ Publishers Weekly “Simțeam nevoia să-i absorb numele, în timp ce clătitele absorbeau untul și siropul. Abia dacă-mi mai aminteam cum arăta; imaginea lui era înconjurată de o pâclă de culoarea șampaniei, dulceagă și difuză, neclară. Îmi aminteam că era mai degrabă înalt, cu părul bine tuns și proaspăt pieptănat, că purta blugi și o jachetă marinărească de lână, posibil de epocă, și că mirosea a băiat, dar la modul plăcut, nu la cel scârbos. Și mai avea și cei mai albaștri ochi din lume, și gene lungi, negre, aproape ca ale unei fete.“

Last Call at Happies! Tonight, 8 P.M. Senior Class Only! Please with the Shhhh?. This is it. Graduation. And Vic Navarro is throwing the most epic party Rancho Soldado has ever seen. She''s going to pull off the most memorable good-bye ever for her best friends, give Happies-the kitschy restaurant that is her desert town''s claim to fame-a proper send-off into bankruptcy, and oh yes, hook up with her delicious crush, Jake Zavala-Kim. She only needs to keep the whole thing a secret so that her archnemesis, Miss Ann Thrope, Rancho Soldado''s nightmare Town Councilwoman and high school Economics teacher, doesn''t get Vic tossed in jail. With the music thumping, alcohol flowing, bodies mashing, and Thrope nowhere to be seen, Vic''s party is a raging success. That is, until Happies fans start arriving in droves to say good-bye, and storm the deserted theme park behind the restaurant. Suddenly what was a small graduation bash is more like Coachella on steroids with a side of RASmatazz pie. The night is so not going as planned. And maybe that''s the best plan of all.

Twelve-year-old Annabel thought Christmas break was going to be amazing. She''d planned to stay home in New York City with her best friend and do traditional things like go ice-skating in Rockefeller Center, hit the after-Christmas sale at Bloomingdale''s, and scream with the TRL crowd at MTV in Times Square. But when her best friend bails, Annabel''s mom decides it''s high time Annabel visit her father and his new family in Australia. Annabel is not pleased about traveling around the world to meet "the steps" -- twelve-year-old fashion-disaster stepsister, five-year-old stepbrother, and baby half sister -- but she''s not going to waste this chance to steal her father back.

Av olika anledningar är Dash och Lily ensamma i New York över julhelgen. Lily har placerat ut en röd anteckningsbok med en utmaning i sin favoritbokhandel i hopp om att en kille ska hitta den. Det gör Dash. Han genomför Lilys utmaning och skriver dessutom ner en egen.

Sauf un premier baiser, censé durer cinq minutes. Et qui va se prolonger toute une nuit. Une seule nuit ?
