New Releases by Gayle Forman

The extraordinary new young adult novel from bestselling author of If I Stay, Gayle Forman.

Four starred reviews! “The book we all need at the time we all need it.” —Katherine Applegate, Newbery Award–winning author of The One and Only Ivan In this “tale of intergenerational friendship forged through a shared understanding of loss…told with spellbinding grace” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) from #1 New York Times bestselling author Gayle Forman, a boy assigned to spend his summer volunteering at a senior living facility learns unexpected lessons. Alex is twelve, and he did something very, very bad. A judge sentences him to spend his summer volunteering at a retirement home where he’s bossed around by an annoying and self-important do-gooder named Maya-Jade. He hasn’t seen his mom in a year, his aunt and uncle don’t want him, and Shady Glen’s geriatric residents seem like zombies to him. Josey is 107 and ready for his life to be over. He has evaded death many times, having survived ghettos, dragnets, and a concentration camp—all thanks to the heroism of a woman named Olka and his own ability to sew. But now he spends his days in room 206 at Shady Glen, refusing to speak and waiting (and waiting and waiting) to die. Until Alex knocks on Josey’s door…and Josey begins to tell Alex his story. As Alex comes back again and again to hear more, an unlikely bond grows between them. Soon a new possibility opens up for Alex: Can he rise to the occasion of his life, even if it means confronting the worst thing that he’s ever done?

“Ninguém escreve sobre o amor como Gayle Forman.” – E. Lockhart, autora de Mentirosos “Uma história brilhante sobre amizade, família e aceitação, com momentos geniais de humor. Eu poderia ter ficado com Aaron e seus amigos por outro livro inteiro.” – David Yoon, autor de Frank e o amor Os livros de Gayle Forman já venderam 9 milhões de exemplares no mundo. Aaron Stein acreditava que livros eram milagres. Mas sua fé acabou. Mesmo trabalhando no sebo da família, o único livro que Aaron suporta ler ultimamente fala da extinção dos dinossauros. É um tema que ele conhece muito bem, agora que o irmão e a mãe partiram e os amigos o abandonaram, deixando-o sozinho com o pai na loja de uma cidadezinha onde ninguém mais parece ler, à espera do inevitável fim. Então, quando se depara com a oportunidade de vender a livraria, Aaron a aproveita, pensando que é a única forma de sair daquela situação. O que ele não imaginava era que Chad, um conhecido da época do colégio que agora é cadeirante, e um grupo de velhos lenhadores resolveriam tomar para si o projeto de reconstruir a loja. E ele com certeza não esperava conhecer Hannah, uma linda e corajosa musicista, que talvez seja exatamente o tipo de inevitável pelo qual vinha esperando. Todos eles ajudarão Aaron a compreender tudo que perdeu, tudo que ganhou, quem ele é agora e quem deseja ser. E lhe mostrarão que a destruição nem sempre leva à extinção – às vezes, leva à criação de algo completamente novo.

"No one writes about love like Gayle Forman. Lose yourself in her passionate mash note to rock music, indie bookstores and best of all, the miracles that can happen when you take chances on other people." — E. LOCKHART, #1 New York Times bestselling author of We Were Liars and Again Again A poignant and uplifting novel about the power of community, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of If I Stay. Aaron Stein used to think books were miracles. But not anymore. Even though he spends his days working in his family's secondhand bookstore, the only book Aaron can bear to read is one about the demise of the dinosaurs. It's a predicament he understands all too well, now that his brother and mom are gone and his friends have deserted him, leaving Aaron and his shambolic father alone in a moldering bookstore in a crusty mountain town where no one seems to read anymore. So when Aaron sees the opportunity to sell the store, he jumps at it, thinking this is the only way out. But he doesn't account for Chad, a "best life" bro with a wheelchair and way too much optimism, or the town's out-of-work lumberjacks taking on the failing shop as their pet project. And he certainly doesn't anticipate meeting Hannah, a beautiful, brave musician who might possibly be the kind of inevitable he's been waiting for. All of them will help Aaron to come to terms with what he's lost, what he's found, who he is, and who he wants to be, and show him that destruction doesn't inevitably lead to extinction; sometimes it leads to the creation of something entirely new.

Der erste Teil des Roman-Duos NUR EIN TAG ... UND EIN GANZES JAHR der Bestseller-Autorin Gayle Forman. Wenn du einem Menschen begegnet bist, der dein Herz geöffnet hat, wirst du alles dafür tun, ihn wiederzufinden. Allysons Leben ist genau wie ihr Koffer – überlegt, geplant und ordentlich gepackt. Doch am letzten Tag ihrer dreiwöchigen Europatour lernt sie Willem kennen. Als freier, ungebundener Schauspieler ist er all das, was die 18jährige Allyson nicht ist, und als er sie einlädt, mit ihm nach Paris zu kommen, trifft sie spontan eine für sie untypische Entscheidung. Sie ändert ihren Plan und geht mit ihm. Allyson erlebt einen Tag voller Abenteuer und Romantik, Freiheit und Nähe – bis Willem am nächsten Morgen nicht mehr da ist. Ein überwältigendes Buch über Liebe, Identität und die Zufälle des Schicksals. Er sieht mich an und ich spüre, wie ein Flattern meinen Körper erfasst. Werde ich das wirklich tun? „Also? Was sagst du? Möchtest du für einen Tag nach Paris fahren?“ Das ist total verrückt. Ich kenne ihn nicht mal. Und ich könnte erwischt werden. Und wieviel kann man an einem Tag von Paris sehen? Es könnte in so vielerlei Hinsicht katastrophal schieflaufen. All das ist richtig. Ich weiß. Aber das ändert nichts daran, dass ich fahren möchte. Anstatt nein zu sagen, probiere ich diesmal etwas anderes aus. Ich sage ja.

Meet Maribeth Klein, a harried working mother who is so busy taking care of her husband and twins that she doesn't even realise, working late one evening, that she has had a heart attack. Afterwards, surprised to discover that her recuperation seems to be an imposition on those who rely on her, Maribeth does the unthinkable - she packs a bag and leaves. Far from the demands of family and career, and with the help of new friendships, she is finally able to own up to the secrets she has been keeping from herself and those she loves. With bighearted characters who stumble and trip, grow and forgive, 'Leave Me' is about facing the fears we are all running from

Sem saber em quem confiar e determinada a não cooperar com os conselheiros, Brit se isola. Mas não fica sozinha por muito tempo. Logo outras garotas se unem a ela na resistência àquele modo de vida hostil. V, Bebe, Martha e Cassie se tornam seu oásis em meio ao deserto de opressão.

VAN DE AUTEUR VAN DE BESTSELLER ALS IK BLIJF Cody en Meg waren altijd onafscheidelijk. Twee handen op een buik. Totdat... zich iets vreselijks voordeed. Wanneer Meg in een afgelegen motel zelfmoord pleegt door een fles schoonmaakmiddel leeg te drinken, blijft haar beste vriendin Cody verdrietig, boos en totaal in de war achter. Zij en Meg deelden alles - waarom heeft ze dit totaal niet aan zien komen? Maar als Cody naar Megs kamer op de universiteitscampus gaat om haar achtergebleven spullen op te halen, ontdekt ze dat Meg heel veel niet heeft verteld. Over haar vreemde huisgenoten bijvoorbeeld. Over haar gebroken hart en de jongen met de gitaar en de rare grijns die daar voor zorgde. En wat staat er in het vreemde, versleutelde bestand op Megs computer? Cody is vastbesloten om dat geopend te krijgen. Maar als dat is gelukt, staat alles wat ze dacht te weten over de dood van haar beste vriendin ineens in een heel ander daglicht.

About her old roommates, the sort of people Cody never would have met in her dead-end small town in Washington. About Ben McAllister, the boy with a guitar and a sneer, and some secrets of his own. And about an encrypted computer file that Cody can’t open—until she does, and suddenly everything Cody thought she knew about her best friend’s death gets thrown into question.

Gayle Forman has given us an unflinchingly honest portrait of the bravery that it takes to live after devastating loss." —Stephen Chbosky, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling The Perks of Being a Wallflower

The first in a sweepingly romantic duet of novels. Willem’s story—Just One Year—is coming soon!

Adam, now a rising rock star, and Mia, a successful cellist, reunite in New York and reconnect after the horrific events that tore them apart when Mia almost died in a car accident three years earlier.

The very first novel by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of If I Stay now has a beautiful new cover. Sisters in Sanity is a story of sisterhood and self-discovery that’s perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen, Morgan Matson, and Siobhan Vivian. Britt Hemphill doesn’t know who she can trust. Her free-spirit mother has disappeared, and her father, once Britt’s partner in crime, has remarried and shipped her off to Red Rock, a so-called treatment facility for troubled girls. And the counselors at Red Rock? They’re completely insane. Britt’s horror at the “therapy”—vicious name-calling and grueling physical labor—is second only to her hatred for the backstabbing patients, who win privileges by ratting each other out. But when V, Bebe, Martha, and Cassie, the four girls who keep Britt from going over the edge, help her sneak out to go see Jeb, her maybe-more-than-friends bandmate, she starts to believe that there may actually be people who can help her—and people that she can help by taking down Red Rocks. Sisters in Sanity perfectly captures the feeling of being trapped in a world that refuses to understand you—and fighting back.
