And it isn’t going well. How can Liz let go of the only life she has ever known and embrace a new one? Is it possible that a life lived in reverse is no different from a life lived forward? A book that transcends genre and category, Elsewhere is a modern YA classic. This deluxe edition features an introduction written by the author, a new Q&A from the author, and personal black-and-white photographs.

J. Fikry: On a bitter-cold day, in the December of his junior year at Harvard, Sam Masur exits a subway car and sees, amid the hordes of people waiting on the platform, Sadie Green. He calls her name. For a moment, she pretends she hasn’t heard him, but then, she turns, and a game begins: a legendary collaboration that will launch them to stardom. These friends, intimates since childhood, borrow money, beg favors, and, before even graduating college, they have created their first blockbuster, Ichigo. Overnight, the world is theirs. Not even twenty-five years old, Sam and Sadie are brilliant, successful, and rich, but these qualities won’t protect them from their own creative ambitions or the betrayals of their hearts. Spanning thirty years, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Venice Beach, California, and lands in between and far beyond, Gabrielle Zevin’s Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow examines the multifarious nature of identity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play, and above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love.

* SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE * "[A] book for people who love books, who recognize a story well-told for what it is, and for the power it contains." —The Globe and Mail An irresistible novel about second chances and finding room for all the books—and all the love—that transform our lives. A.J. Fikry's life is not at all what he expected it to be. His wife has died, his bookstore is experiencing the worst sales in its history, and now his prized possession—a rare collection of Poe poems—has been stolen. Slowly but surely, he is isolating himself from all the people of Alice Island, and even the books in his store have stopped holding pleasure for him. Then a mysterious package appears at the bookstore. It's a small package, though large in weight—an unexpected arrival that gives A.J. the opportunity to make his life over, the ability to see everything anew. It doesn't take long for the locals to notice the change overcoming A.J. As surprising as it is moving, The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry is an unforgettable tale of transformation and second chances, an irresistible affirmation of why we read, and why we love.

Két gyerek, egy kisfiú és egy kislány találkozik egy kórházban 1987-ben. A lány a leukémiában szenvedő nővérét látogatja meg, a fiú egy autóbalesetből épül fel. Közös témájuk, a videójátékok iránti rajongás – a bennük található lebilincselő világok, az izgalmas versenyek és a mindennapi élet bajai elől nyíló menekülési lehetőség – különös barátságot eredményez köztük. Mégis nyolc év telik el, mire ismét találkoznak, ám sorsuk innentől végleg összefonódik. Sam és Sadie az egyetemi éveik alatt futnak össze újra egy zsúfolt metróállomáson. A lány a fiú kezébe nyom egy floppy lemezt, amin a legújabb játéka található, amit az MIT haladó játékfejlesztés szemináriumára készített. Samet lenyűgözi a program, és meggyőzi Sadie-t, hogy alapítsanak egy játékfejlesztő céget, hogy megvalósítsák az álmaikat: tervezzenek játékokat, amelyek világai megigézik és beszippantják a kor egyre népszerűbb szórakozási formájának szerelmeseit. Hamarosan szupersztárok lesznek a területükön. A siker és a csillogás azonban nem várt kihívások elé állítja mindkettejüket. Gabrielle Zevin varázslatos és meghitt regénye egyrészt óda a videójátékok aranykorához; másrészt két ember története, akik a kreativitásukon keresztül keresik önmagukat, és introvertált személyiségük korlátait leküzdve igyekeznek felfedezni a szerelem és a szeretet különböző formáit.

Num gélido dia de dezembro, Sam Masur está a sair de uma carruagem de metro quando vê, por entre a multidão na plataforma, a sua melhor amiga de infância, Sadie Green. A amizade entre ambos terminara abruptamente quase uma década antes. O que não o impede agora de chamar por ela. Por um momento, ela finge não ouvir, mas acaba por ceder e olhar para ele. É assim que tudo (re)começa. O que se segue é uma relação que se tornará lendária. Juntos criam um jogo de computador revolucionário chamado ICHIGO, no qual o jogador pode escapar às limitações do corpo e da vida. O universo digital encerra infinitas oportunidades para começar de novo, sabendo mais, errando menos. É aí que Sam e Sadie descobrem uma intimidade que não são capazes de alcançar no mundo físico. O sucesso avassalador de ICHIGO traz-lhes fama e fortuna antes mesmo de completarem 25 anos, mas não os protege das suas ambições, obsessões criativas e paixões. Nem os impede de crescer. Esta é a história dos mundos perfeitos que Sam e Sadie constroem, por oposição ao mundo imperfeito em que vivem. Fala-nos das complexidades da vida, e da busca por aqueles lugares – e pessoas, e coisas – que confortam e validam a nossa existência. E, sim, é uma história de amor, mas não no sentido tradicional. Porque há muitos tipos de amor... e este – em toda a sua beleza, drama e a dor – é o de Sam e Sadie.

Neste romance emocionante da autora best-seller de A vida do livreiro A. J. Fikry e Em outrolugar, dois amigos – que sempre se amaram, mas nunca foram amantes – se unem em uma parceria criativa na indústria dos videogames, um mundo que lhes traz fama, felicidade, tragédia, dúvidas e, de certa forma, imortalidade. Em um dia congelante de dezembro, no seu terceiro ano em Harvard, Sam Masur sai do metrô e vê, entre uma horda de pessoas esperando na plataforma, Sadie Green. Ele a chama. Por um momento, ela finge não ouvir, mas então se vira, e um jogo começa: uma colaboração lendária que vai levá-los ao estrelato. Esses amigos, próximos desde a infância, pegam dinheiro emprestado, pedem favores e, antes mesmo de se formarem, lançam seu primeiro sucesso, Ichigo. De um dia para o outro, o mundo é deles. Com menos de vinte e cinco anos, Sam e Sadie são brilhantes, bem-sucedidos e ricos, mas essas vantagens não vão protegê-los de suas próprias ambições criativas e das traições do coração. Abarcando mais de trinta anos da vida dos protagonistas, de Cambridge à Califórnia, passando por lugares distantes, reais e virtuais, Amanhã, amanhã, e ainda outro amanhã é uma história intrincada, imaginativa e tocante que examina a natureza múltipla e complexa de nossos fracassos, identidades e deficiências, das possibilidades redentoras dos jogos e, acima de tudo, de nossa necessidade de conexão, de amar e sermos amados. Sim, é uma história de amor, mas diferente de tudo que você já leu. Amanhã, amanhã, e ainda outro amanhã está em processo de adaptação para o cinema pela produtora Temple Hill e pelo Paramount Studios. "Simplesmente brilhante. Um dos melhores livros que já li" – John Green

Em uma Nova York futurista, onde o chocolate e a cafeína são proibidos e uma série de restrições é imposta diariamente à população, Gabrielle Zevin apresenta Anya Balanchine, a determinada protagonista da trilogia Birthright, iniciada com Todas as coisas que eu já fiz, seguido por Está no meu sangue, e que chega a seu desfecho com Na era do amor e do chocolate. Às vésperas de seu aniversário de 18 anos, Anya, filha de um dos chefões da máfia do chocolate, assume a guarda de sua irmã e põe em risco a segurança de seu irmão, Leo, e seu próprio futuro, libertando-se das amarras da empresa da família para abrir seu próprio negócio. Mas o passado de Anya a persegue, não importa o quanto ela tente mudar. O assassinato de seu pai, os problemas de seus parentes com a lei, seus relacionamentos complicados e sempre arriscados e suas passagens pelo reformatório são fantasmas que rondam a vida da garota e com os quais ela inevitavelmente tem que lidar. Assim como a prisão do irmão e as dificuldades no relacionamento com a irmã adolescente, sob sua responsabilidade após a morte dos pais e da avó. Anya amadurece a cada capítulo, fazendo escolhas muitas vezes erradas, outras certas, e suas incertezas movem a trama, desencadeando uma série de surpresas para o leitor. Dona de uma personalidade forte, Anya sempre encarou sua vida conturbada com determinação e ironia, priorizando a segurança de seus irmãos e assumindo responsabilidades grandes demais, deixando suas emoções em segundo plano. Mas será que ela está preparada para os novos desafios? E o fim do namoro que ela tanto prezava com Win? Um desfecho surpreendente, porém suave e doce como um chocolate, marca o fim da trilogia Birthright. Em meio a mortes, culpas e situações limite, Anya Balanchine entra de vez para o rol das grandes heroínas da atual literatura jovem. E o leitor é levado a refletir sobre a força do amor, da amizade e da lealdade. Seja onde e em que época for.

La vie est plus belle lorsqu'elle s'écrit à plusieurs. Une véritable déclaration d'amour à la vie et aux livres ! A.J. Fikry a l'un des plus beaux métiers du monde : il est libraire. Un libraire misanthrope et bourru qui file un mauvais coton depuis le décès de Nic, son épouse. Peu importe, livre ou être humain, il est devenu bien difficile de trouver grâce à ses yeux. L'irrésistible petite Maya va pourtant fendre son armure. Sa maman souhaitait qu'elle grandisse au milieu des livres et l'a donc laissée dans les rayons de l'unique librairie d'Alice Island. C'est ainsi qu'A.J., faussement récalcitrant, se retrouve à pouponner ce chérubin aussi malicieux que despotique. Et dans le sillage de ce duo improbable, tout leur entourage va découvrir quer les aventures étonnantes, épatantes et émouvantes n'arrivent pas que dans les livres.

En 2083, le chocolat et le café sont illégaux, le papier est difficile à trouver, l'eau est précieusement rationnée, et la ville de New York est dominée par le crime et la pauvreté. Pour Anya Balanchine, 16 ans, la fille orpheline du criminel le plus célèbre de la ville, la vie est une routine bienheureuse. Jusqu'à ce que son ex-petit ami soit accidentellement empoisonné par le chocolat de la contrebande familiale, et que la police accuse la jeune fille. Brusquement, Anya se retrouve poussée malgré elle sous le feu des projecteurs : au lycée, dans la presse et, plus grave, au sein de sa famille de hors-la-loi...

Après une mauvaise chute dans un escalier, Naomi Porter se retrouve à l'hôpital, amnésique. Elle tombe folle amoureuse de James Larkin et nage dans un brouillard heureux. Mais cela ne peut durer. Il faut qu'elle sache qui elle était avant, et se lance dans une enquête sur elle-même.

When his most prized possession, a rare collection of Poe poems, is stolen, bookstore owner A.J. Fikry begins isolating himself from his friends, family and associates before receiving a mysterious package that compels him to remake his life.

Don't miss Gabrielle Zevin's new novel, Young Jane Young, coming in August 2017. “Funny, tender, and moving, The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry reminds us all exactly why we read and why we love.”* A. J. Fikry’s life is not at all what he expected it to be. He lives alone, his bookstore is experiencing the worst sales in its history, and now his prized possession, a rare collection of Poe poems, has been stolen. But when a mysterious package appears at the bookstore, its unexpected arrival gives Fikry the chance to make his life over--and see everything anew. “This novel has humor, romance, a touch of suspense, but most of all love--love of books and bookish people and, really, all of humanity in its imperfect glory.” —Eowyn Ivey, author of The Snow Child “Marvelously optimistic about the future of books and bookstores and the people who love both.” —The Washington Post “You won’t want it to end.” —Family Circle “A natural for book groups.” —Richmond Times-Dispatch “A reader’s paradise of the first order.” —The Buffalo News “A fun, page-turning delight.” —Minneapolis Star Tribune “Captures the joy of connecting people and books . . . Irresistible.” —Booklist “A wonderful, moving, endearing story of redemption and transformation that will sing in your heart for a very, very long time.” —Garth Stein, author of The Art of Racing in the Rain “Readers who delighted in The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, and Letters from Skye will be equally captivated by this novel.” —*Library Journal, starred review

Als Naomi munt in plaats van kop had gekozen, zou ze niet terug de school in hoeven om haar camera te halen. Dan zou ze niet van de trap zijn gegleden en op haar hoofd zijn gevallen, en zou ze niet in een ambulance wakker zijn geworden met geheugenverlies. Ze zou zich absoluut nog haar vriend Ace hebben herinnerd. Ze zou zich ongetwijfeld hebben herinnerd waarom ze ooit verliefd op hem was geworden. En ze zou nooit James hebben ontmoet. Maar Naomi kiest wel kop. Ze valt van de trap en wordt wakker zonder enige herinnering aan de laatste vier jaar. Stapje voor stapje moet ze weer leren wie ze is en wat ze wil. En van wie ze nu echt houdt... Gabrielle Zevin schreef een ontroerende young adultroman over de liefde en het krijgen van een tweede kans.

From Gabrielle Zevin—the author of the critically acclaimed Elsewhere—comes the first book in the Birthright series, All These Things I've Done, a masterful novel about an impossible romance, a mafia family, and the ties that forever bind us. In 2083, chocolate and coffee are illegal, paper is hard to find, water is carefully rationed, and New York City is rife with crime and poverty. And yet, for Anya Balanchine, the sixteen-year-old daughter of the city's most notorious (and dead) crime boss, life is fairly routine. It consists of going to school, taking care of her siblings and her dying grandmother, trying to avoid falling in love with the new assistant D.A.'s son, and avoiding her loser ex-boyfriend. That is until her ex is accidently poisoned by the chocolate her family manufactures and the police think she's to blame. Suddenly, Anya finds herself thrust unwillingly into the spotlight--at school, in the news, and most importantly, within her mafia family.

A "sharply funny and sobering . . . portrait of a family in financial free fall" from the New York Times–bestselling author of Young Jane Young ( People ). With The Hole We're In—a bold, timeless, yet all too timely novel about a troubled American family navigating an even more troubled America—award-winning author and screenwriter, Gabrielle Zevin, delivers a work that places her in the ranks of our shrewdest social observers and top literary talents. Meet the Pomeroys: a church-going family living in a too-red house in a Texas college town. Roger, the patriarch, has impulsively gone back to school, only to find his future ambitions at odds with the temptations of the present. His wife, Georgia, tries to keep things afloat at home, but she's been feeding the bill drawer with unopened envelopes for months and never manages to confront its swelling contents. In an attempt to climb out of the holes they've dug, Roger and Georgia make a series of choices that have catastrophic consequences for their three children—especially for Patsy, the youngest, who will spend most of her life fighting to overcome them. The Hole We're In shines a spotlight on some of the most relevant issues of today: over-reliance on credit, gender and class politics, and the war in Iraq. But it is Zevin's deft exploration of the fragile economy of family life that makes this a book for the ages. "Blazing . . . Sharp . . . a Corrections for our recessionary times . . . [Zevin] establishes herself as an astute chronicler of the way we spend now." — Publishers Weekly, starred review

From the author of Elsewhere and the Birthright trilogy, Gabrielle Zevin's Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac is an imaginative YA novel all about love and second chances. If Naomi had picked tails, she would have won the coin toss. She wouldn't have had to go back for the yearbook camera, and she wouldn't have hit her head on the steps. She wouldn't have woken up in an ambulance with amnesia. She certainly would have remembered her boyfriend, Ace. She might even have remembered why she fell in love with him in the first place. She would understand why her best friend, Will, keeps calling her "Chief." She'd get all his inside jokes, and maybe he wouldn't be so frustrated with her for forgetting things she can't possibly remember. She'd know about her mom's new family. She'd know about her dad's fiancée. She wouldn't have to spend her junior year relearning all the French she supposedly knew already. She never would have met James, the boy with the questionable past and the even fuzzier future, who tells her he once wanted to kiss her. She wouldn't have wanted to kiss him back. But Naomi picked heads. Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac is a 2008 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.
