New Releases by Gayle Forman

When troubled twelve-year-old Alex is assigned to spend his summer volunteering at a senior living facility, he forms a unique bond with a Holocaust survivor and learns lessons that change the trajectory of his life.

È l''estate del 1987 e come sempre Bug, che ha dieci anni, è pronta a trascorrerla al mare a Venice Beach con il fratello maggiore. Quest''anno, però, Danny non ne vuole sapere di portarsela dietro e così Bug si ritrova a passare le sue giornate con il nipote del loro vicino di casa, Frankie, venuto dallo zio per le vacanze. Lei e Frankie, però, sembrano non avere proprio nulla in comune: Bug non desidera altro che starsene in spiaggia e fare bagni nell''oceano, mentre Frankie odia il mare, anzi, non vuole nemmeno mettersi in costume. Bug vorrebbe divertirsi tutto il tempo e passare vacanze spensierate, mentre l''unico obiettivo di Frankie è seguire le tracce di un criminale che da qualche tempo terrorizza le notti di Los Angeles. Eppure, con l''estate che corre, mentre indagano insieme su un possibile sospettato, i due scopriranno verità importanti su loro stessi e sulle loro famiglie, e impareranno che, anche se la vita non è sempre giusta, tutti noi possiamo fare la nostra parte per renderla più equa.

“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.

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.

Cody and Meg were inseparable... Until they weren’t. When her best friend, Meg, drinks a bottle of industrial-strength cleaner alone in a motel room, Cody is understandably shocked and devastated. She and Meg shared everything—so how was there no warning? But when Cody travels to Meg’s college town to pack up the belongings left behind, she discovers that there’s a lot that Meg never told her. 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. "I Was Here is a pitch-perfect blend of mystery, tragedy, and romance. 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
