Nina is a British teenager who only lives for one thing. Her blog. For her, nothing else matters and nothing will stop her from becoming a famous blogger.
Yet, things are getting complicated. She's already trying to forget that her mum has been missing for weeks. She's also trying to ignore the feeling that the clouds in the sky seem to keep following her all the time. And then one day, Nina gets a message on her blog that might explain everything. A message that might just change her life forever.
From the acclaimed young adult writer Kerem Mermutlu, Broken Yeah Wow is a novel that revolves around blogs, coffee, trying to understand your best friend, staying up all night because you can't sleep, and figuring out who you are.
When Ruby Miller and her best friend, Iris, post an amateur video on
their Zocopalypse fansite, neither expect the film to go viral, to be
invited to lead the FantasyCon parade or meet Gabe Foster, the creator
and artist behind the graphic novel.
Gabe announces Zocopalypse’s adaptation to a television miniseries and
pegs college-bound Ruby to play iconic zombie hunter, Alexandra. She
reluctantly accepts, pushing aside her summer babysitting job and
plans to lounge around the pool in favor of negotiating with agents,
hot actors and the paparazzi.
Attending zombie boot camp and memorizing lines is hard enough, but
Ruby must learn to trust her instincts in a world where the line
between fiction and reality ceases to exist, and the two worlds blur
into one.
July 2012 - The Wedding Cake Girl by Anne Pfeffer. Available
in ebook on
Amazon.
Seventeen-year-old Alexandra spends so much time helping others
realize their dreams that she never has time for her own. An expert
ocean diver and reluctant maker of wedding cakes, she longs to leave
roses and frosting behind to study oceanography. Alex’s mother won’t
have it—needy and dependent, Mom can’t run the family wedding cake
business on her own.
No matter what Alex does, things only get worse for her. When she
saves a man's life while scuba diving and becomes the local hero,
Mom's angry with Alex for going diving at all. Mom discourages Alex's
new friendship with Jeremy, a fun and insanely wealthy boy who happens
to have a secret. Then, Alex's best friend, Zack, a hunky island guy,
starts to take an interest in her as well. The problem is, he's dating
another girl.
As Alex struggles to learn where she stands between her two difficult
and confusing Prince Charmings, it occurs to her that maybe what she
really needs is a Prince Charming for Mom. If she doesn't do something
fast, they'll bury her in her "Sue's Wedding Cakery" apron with a
spatula in her hand.
The Wedding Cake Girl features a colorful island setting, dangerous
underwater diving adventures, a family of billionaires, and lots and
lots of buttercream. The book is Alex's journey toward not only
finding love, but learning how to step forward and take control of her
own life, a rite of passage that faces all young readers.

KAHAYATLE
My name's Bryn Mathis. I'm seventeen years old and I live in a neighborhood outside of Orlando, Florida. I live alone because my dad died almost a year ago, along with all the other adults in the world. I'm almost out of food and the gangs of kids that roam around my town are getting more vicious by the day.
It's time for me to leave and find another place to live … a place where I can find food and shelter … a place where they won't be able to find me.
Alone, it might have been possible; but now I've got company. I'm worried that I don't have what it takes to get from here to my final destination.
And I have no idea what might be waiting for me when I get there.
**No drugs, or sex. Yes violence and some foul language. This is DARK SCIENCE FICTION/HORROR featuring teen characters only.**
