New Releases by Sarah Mlynowski

April, dix-sept ans, et sa meilleure amie Vic, exultent. Elles habiteront ensemble pendant six mois sans adulte pour les surveiller. Par un habile mensonge, April a fait croire à son père obligé de déménager pour son nouveau poste, qu''elle va vivre chez Vic sous la surveillance de sa mère... laquelle se trouve en voyage. Les filles établissent une liste de dix choses interdites et saugrenues. Comme adopter un chat et l''appeler Donut, acheter un jacuzzi, organiser une fête avec plein de monde où tout est permis, peu importe qu''April ait déjà un petit copain. De petits mensonges en quiproquos, d''habiles dissimulations en fous rires alcoolisés, April va apprendre au gré de quelques nuits blanches et de maux de tête au réveil, le vrai prix de l''indépendance, mais sans perdre le sourire. « Dix frasques aussi insensées que palpitantes qui font hurler de rire, grincer des dents et se demander perpétuellement comment April va se sortir du pétrin dans lequel elle s''est mise. » Publishers Weekly « Des amitiés tumultueuses, un premier amour tendre et bouleversant, des garçons canons aux sombres secrets, une narratrice attachante, un chaton adorable, et un jacuzzi appelé Hula... Je me suis laissée portée par ce roman et me suis prise à souhaiter que jamais il ne se termine. » Sara Shepard, auteur du best-seller Les Menteuses

From the bestselling author of Don’t Even Think About It, these high school seniors may know each other’s thoughts, but they’ll never see what’s coming. Since refusing to take the antidote after acquiring flu shot–induced telepathy two years ago, the twenty Espies (that’s people with ESP to you norms) have been kept together in one class every single day. Now that they’re seniors, their separation is looming . . . Though their superpower has come with a price—headaches, constant noise, purple-tinted eyes, C-list celebrity status—Mackenzie Feldman, Olivia Byrne, Cooper Miller, Pi Ricci, and the others wouldn’t change a thing. They’ve all gotten closer than ever, and when—one-by-one—they start losing their telepathic abilities, they’ll do whatever it takes to stop the damage. Graduation is coming up, and if the Espies are going out, they may as well go out with a bang. Praise for Don’t Even Think About It “A tour-de-force comic narration that will leave you gasping in awe—if you ever catch your breath from laughing.” —E. Lockhart, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of We Were Liars “Funny, realistic, heartfelt, satiric, and unpredictable.” —Ned Vizzini, New York Times–bestselling author of It’s Kind of a Funny Story “Smart and frequently hilarious . . . Filled with heartbreak, hilarity, and some brutal truths, Mlynowski’s novel will leave readers thinking about the gaps between our private and public selves and the lies we tell others and ourselves.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Hilarious, moving, and utterly ingenious.” —Robin Wasserman, author of Girls on Fire “A solid, comical sci-fi romp.” —Kirkus Reviews

Strange things are happening at Dunwiddle Magic School -- and the Upside-Down Magic class is getting blamed! Yes, Marigold did shrink Lacey Clench to the size of a gerbil. But that was an accident. 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.

It arrives in the mail, with a long letter from Addie, a girl in Columbus, Ohio, who had the bracelet last time. The bracelet grants wishes, and Lucy knows just what to wish for: a do-over day, where she''ll fix everything and most importantly, prevent her dad from proposing to Ms. Brock. The wish comes true--but not quite as Lucy expected. Her day keeps repeating over and over, and things keep getting worse in unique (and hilarious) ways. With the help of her new long-distance friends, Addie and Becca, will Lucy be able to figure her way out of this time loop...before it''s too late?
