Сара Кроссан – лучшие книги

Типпи и Грейс не нравится, когда на них пялятся, что неудивительно, ведь они сиамские близнецы. Им хочется жить, как обычные подростки - ходить в кино, влюбляться, находить новых друзей. Но это трудно, когда люди вокруг тыкают в тебя пальцами и обзывают.
Девочкам приходится тяжело, однако они храбро сражаются со всеми бедами. И однажды судьба вознаграждает (или наказывает?) их возможностью разделиться, а они ухватываются за этот шанс, ухватываются изо всех сил. Вот только получить желаемое не так просто, и Типпи и Грейс еще придется столкнуться с последствиями своего решения обрести личную свободу.

Эллисон сбегает из дома. Чтобы переждать тяжелые времена, она проникает в чужой дом, думая, что тот пуст.

Понимая, что это неправильно, она все же соглашается на эту роль – в конце концов, можно больше не думать о ночлеге. Постепенно их дружба крепнет, и Эллисон видит, как сильно Марле на самом деле нужен кто-то близкий. Сможет ли она стать этим человеком и найдет ли наконец место и для себя в этом мире?

But then the unimaginable happens, and Ana finds herself alone, trapped inside her secret.

How can we lose someone the world never knew was ours? How do we grieve for something no one else can ever find out? In her desperate bid for answers, Ana seeks out the shadowy figure who has always stood just beyond her reach – Connor's wife Rebecca.

This moving and beautifully crafted novel about identity, sisterhood and love ultimately asks one question: what does it mean to want and have a soulmate?

Years after the Switch, life inside the Pod has moved on. A poor Auxiliary class cannot afford the oxygen tax which supplies extra air for running, dancing and sports. The rich Premiums, by contrast, are healthy and strong. Anyone who opposes the regime is labelled a terrorist and ejected from the Pod to die.
Sixteen-year-old Alina is part of the secret resistance, but when a mission goes wrong she is forced to escape from the Pod. With only two days of oxygen in her tank, she too faces the terrifying prospect of death by suffocation. Her only hope is to find the mythical Grove, a small enclave of trees protected by a hardcore band of rebels. Does it even exist, and if so, what or who are they protecting the trees from?
A dystopian thriller about courage and freedom, with a love story at its heart.
