Вэнделин Ван Драанен — новинки

Джули влюбилась в Брайса с первого взгляда. А он с первого взгляда ее возненавидел. Это было во втором классе, но с тех пор мало что изменилось. Джули думает: "Брайс все еще задолжал мне первый поцелуй". Брайс думает: "За моими плечами почти шесть лет изощренного избегания и социального дискомфорта". Но внезапно все переворачивается с ног на голову. Только Брайс начинает думать, что, возможно, в Джули есть что-то такое, чего он не замечал раньше, как она понимает: похоже, он — не совсем то, что ей нужно.
"Привет, Джули!" — классическая романтическая комедия ошибок, повествователями которой являются обычные подростки. Осталось понять, кто же в кого на самом деле влюбился.
По мотивам романа снят одноименный фильм. Режиссером выступил Роб Райнер, который также режиссировал такие фильмы, как "Волк с Уолл-стрит" и "Когда Гарри встретил Салли".

3:47 a.m. That's when they come for Wren Clemens. She's hustled out of her house and into a waiting car, then a plane, and then taken on a forced march into the desert. This is what happens to kids who've gone so far off the rails, their parents don't know what to do with them any more. This is wilderness therapy camp.

The Wren who arrives in the Utah desert is angry and bitter, and blaming everyone but herself. But angry can't put up a tent. And bitter won't start a fire. Wren's going to have to admit she needs help if she's going to survive.

In her most incisive and insightful book yet, beloved author Wendelin Van Draanen's offers a remarkable portrait of a girl who took a wrong turn and got lost--but who may be able to find her way back again in the vast, harsh desert.

Это замечательный роман из жизни восьмиклассников в жанре "он сказал - она сказала". Джули Бейкер влюбилась в Брайса Лоски с первого взгляда. А он с первого взгляда ее возненавидел. И так продолжалось до восьмого класса, когда Джули стала охладевать к Брайсу, а он, наоборот, начал влюбляться в нее...

Автор применил интересный приём: и Джули и Брайс от первого лица смотрят на одни и те же события со своего взгляда, что позволило хорошо раскрыть характер героев и происходящие в них изменения.

"It's a cold, hard, cruel fact that my mother loved heroin more than she loved me."

Holly is in her fifth foster home in two years and she's had enough. She's run away before and always been caught quickly. But she's older and wiser now--she's twelve--and this time she gets away clean.

Through tough and tender and angry and funny journal entries, Holly spills out her story. We travel with her across the country--hopping trains, scamming food, sleeping in parks or homeless encampments. And we also travel with her across the gaping holes in her heart--as she finally comes to terms with her mother's addiction and death.

Runaway is a remarkably uplifting portrait of a girl still young and stubborn and naive enough to hold out hope for finding a better place in the world, and within herself, to be.

An award-winning and inspiring novel. When Jessica's dreams are shattered, she puts herself back together—and learns to dream bigger than ever before.

Jessica thinks her life is over when she loses a leg in a car accident. She's not comforted by the news that she'll be able to walk with the help of a prosthetic leg. Who cares about walking when you live to run?

As she struggles to cope with crutches and a first cyborg-like prosthetic, Jessica feels oddly both in the spotlight and invisible. People who don't know what to say, act like she's not there. Which she could handle better if she weren't now keenly aware that she'd done the same thing herself to a girl with CP named Rosa. A girl who is going to tutor her through all the math she's missed. A girl who sees right into the heart of her.

With the support of family, friends, a coach, and her track teammates, Jessica may actually be able to run again. But that's not enough for her now. She doesn't just want to cross finish lines herself—she wants to take Rosa with her.
