Breakout

release date: Jun 02, 2026
Breakout
Trapped at a luxurious resort off the coast of Florida, a group of elite teens are about to have a spring break they will never forget . . . but not all of them are coming home. The star-studded team of authors behind New York Times bestsellers Blackout and Whiteout returns with a thriller full of intrigue, betrayal, and heart-stopping romance. For Thurgood Marshall Academy's best and brightest--five friends who've been thick as thieves since kindergarten--this spring break is all about forgetting: they want nothing more than to wash away last year's tragedy, and the human-shaped hole it left in their friend group. It's a hole the new kid, Anthony Brooks, seems to fit right into. So when he invites the Five to join him on a private island for a week at his dad's luxury resort, they agree with zero hesitation. No one's counting on a freak tropical storm swooping in and killing the vibe. And speaking of killing, they're also ill-prepared for the mounting collection of dead bodies... including (another) one of their own. As their dream trip unravels, everything they tried to leave behind--secrets, lies, betrayals, dead best friends--seems to be washing up on the shore of their lives for everyone to see. Will any of them make it out alive? From the bestselling, award-winning team behind Blackout and Whiteout—Dhonielle Clayton, Tiffany D. Jackson, Nic Stone, Angie Thomas, Ashley Woodfolk, and Nicola Yoon—comes a thriller that begs the question: is it possible to outrun the worst thing you've ever done? Murder-Mystery Meets Romance: Sparks fly and hearts collide over the course of one thrilling week. But can love survive when trust shatters and lives are on the line? Forced Proximity: Trapped on a private island, this close-knit group of friends are about to stretch tensions to the snapping point. There is no escape from danger or desire! Luxury With a Side of Lies: Be swept away by the glittering lifestyles of the one percent--and captivated by the intrigue and deadly secrets that lurk beneath their shimmering surfaces.

One of Our Kind
A hotly-anticipated and endlessly provocative new thriller of race and privilege set in an all-Black gated community from #1 New York Times best-selling author Nicola Yoon • "Brilliant...Your book club will be discussing this one for DAYS.”—Jodi Picoult Jasmyn and King Williams move their family to the planned Black utopia of Liberty, California hoping to find a community of like-minded people, a place where their growing family can thrive. King settles in at once, embracing the Liberty ethos, including the luxe wellness center at the top of the hill, which proves to be the heart of the community. But Jasmyn struggles to find her place. She expected to find liberals and social justice activists striving for racial equality, but Liberty residents seem more focused on booking spa treatments and ignoring the world’s troubles. Jasmyn’s only friends in the community are equally perplexed and frustrated by most residents' outlook. Then Jasmyn discovers a terrible secret about Liberty and its founders. Frustration turns to dread as their loved ones start embracing the Liberty way of life. Will the truth destroy her world in ways she never could have imagined? Thrilling with insightful social commentary, One of Our Kind explores the ways in which freedom is complicated by the presumptions we make about ourselves and each other.

Rakkauden askelkuviot
Onko rakkaus riskin arvoinen? Ihastuttavan nuortenromaanin tunnelma on kuin La La Land -elokuvasta! 17-vuotias Evie ei vanhempiensa eron jälkeen usko rakkauteen. Varsinkaan kun hän yhtäkkiä saa kyvyn nähdä, miten kaikkien rakkaustarinat ovat alkaneet -- ja ennen kaikkea miten ne päättyvät. Mutta sitten Evie kohtaa tanssistudiolla pojan, joka on kaikkea mitä hän itse ei ole: seikkailunhaluinen, intohimoinen ja rohkea. X-niminen poika haluaa osallistua tanssikilpailuihin Evien kanssa, johon on aivan vastikään tutustunut! Evie ei todellakaan ollut suunnitellut ihastuvansa, mutta tanssiessaan X:n kanssa Evie joutuu kyseenalaistamaan kaiken mitä luuli tietävänsä elämästä ja rakkaudesta. If you want a story to make you laugh and cry (and maybe even try to tango), Instructions for Dancing has just the touch of magic you’re looking for. Apple Books An endearing, affecting exploration of the journey of love... Everything Yoon touches turns to gold—and gets a film adaptation—and this cinematic supernatural romance will be no exception. Booklist, Starred Review Nicola Yoon on Jamaikalla ja Brooklynissa varttunut kirjailija ja toivoton romantikko. Hänen aikaisemmat nuortenromaaninsa Aurinko on tähti ja Kaikki kaikessa ovat olleet suuria menestyksiä ja molemmista on tehty elokuva. Yoon on myös innokas laulamaan karaokea - mutta ei, hän ei osaa laulaa. Onneksemme hänen kirjansa soivat sitäkin kauniimmin!

Saker man inte vill veta
Evie Thomas favoritgenre är romance. Eller det var det i alla fall. Tills hennes föräldrar skilde sig. Nu har berättelserna liksom tappat all magi. Och så händer det där konstiga – när hon ser ett par kyssas ser hon hela deras förhållande. Från första flirten till att de gör slut. För det gör de nio gånger av tio. Evies enda ledtråd till varför hon plötsligt har den här förmågan är ett häfte med dansinstruktioner och en adress till en dansstudio. Vågar hon gå dit? Vågar hon släppa loss passionen i en tango? Och kommer hon att våga tro att en förälskelse kan sluta lyckligt? Plocka fram era mest förälskade flin och en liten trave näsdukar – båda kommer väl till pass! Nicola Yoon slog igenom med dunder och brak 2016 med debuten Ingenting och allting (Everything, Everything) som följdes upp med lika fantastiska Idag är allt (The Sun is Also a Star). Båda blev bestsellers och film. Hennes berättelser har alltid en ABBA-låt i sig. Läs, se och njut av de här roliga, smarta och gråtdrivande böckerna!

I et forsøg på at kassere alle sine romantiske bøger på en byttecentral, møder hun en mystisk kvinde, der synes at have en mærkelig påvirkning på Evie, for da hun vender hjem, kan hun pludselig se udfaldet af alle forelskelser, hun er vidne til, og de ender alle ulykkeligt. Og det, mener Evie, er kun yderligere bevis på, at man ikke kan bruge romantik og forelskelser til noget. Men da hun forsøger at advare folk om det, der vil ske dem, trænger det ikke rigtig igennem. Faktisk bliver hun bare upopulær. Hvad er det, folk ikke forstår? Eller er der noget, Evie skal lære at forstå? Sådan lærer du at danse er en bog om at håndtere skuffelserne i livet og erfare, at man også kan få noget godt ud af noget skidt. Nicola Yoon er forfatteren bag bl.a. bestsellerne Alt eller intet og Solen er også en stjerne, der begge er filmatiseret. Sådan lærer du at danse udkommer i YA-imprintet CarlsenPuls.

Instructions for Dancing
AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "A charming, wholehearted love story that's sure to make readers swoon."—Entertainment Weekly "Nicola Yoon writes from the heart in this beautiful love story."—Good Morning America “It’s like an emotional gut punch—so beautiful and also heart-wrenching."—US Weekly In this romantic page-turner from the author of Everything, Everything and The Sun is Also a Star, Evie has the power to see other people’s romantic fates—what will happen when she finally sees her own? Evie Thomas doesn't believe in love anymore. Especially after the strangest thing occurs one otherwise ordinary afternoon: She witnesses a couple kiss and is overcome with a vision of how their romance began . . . and how it will end. After all, even the greatest love stories end with a broken heart, eventually. As Evie tries to understand why this is happening, she finds herself at La Brea Dance Studio, learning to waltz, fox-trot, and tango with a boy named X. X is everything that Evie is not: adventurous, passionate, daring. His philosophy is to say yes to everything--including entering a ballroom dance competition with a girl he's only just met. Falling for X is definitely not what Evie had in mind. If her visions of heartbreak have taught her anything, it's that no one escapes love unscathed. But as she and X dance around and toward each other, Evie is forced to question all she thought she knew about life and love. In the end, is love worth the risk?

Všechno, úplně všechno

Všechno, úplně všechno
Neotřelý milostný příběh o dívce, která trpí alergií na svět. Tato originální prvotina vypráví o dívce, která je doslova a do písmene alergická na celý svět. Je zavřená doma, nikam nesmí a skoro nikdo nesmí k ní. Když se ale do sousedního domu přistěhuje nová rodina a s ní i kluk jménem Olly, začíná se odvíjet komplikovaná „lovestory“, která obrátí naruby všechno, úplně všechno, co osmnáctiletá Madeline dosud znala. Neotřelý milostný příběh je zajímavý i svým zpracováním – obsahuje Madelininy deníkové záznamy, poznámky, tabulky, seznamy či ilustrace. Ahoj. Jmenuji se Madeline Whittierová a jsem nemocná. Moje nemoc je vzácná a málo známá. Jsem totiž alergická na celý svět. Vůbec nevycházím z domu, nebyla jsem venku celých sedmnáct let. Jediní lidé, které vídám, jsou moje máma a ošetřovatelka Karla. Ale pak se jednoho dne u sousedního domu objevilo stěhovací auto. Vykoukla jsem z okna a uviděla ho. Byl vysoký, štíhlý a celý v černém – černé triko, černé džíny, černé tenisky a černá pletená čepice, která mu zakrývala vlasy. Zachytil můj pohled a upřeně se na mě zadíval. Já jeho upřený pohled opětovala. Jmenuje se Olly. Možná že nemůžeme předvídat budoucnost, ale některé věci přesto předpovědět můžeme. Například to, že se do Ollyho zamiluju, je jisté. A téměř jisté taky je, že to bude katastrofa. Příběh o bezmezné radosti i nekonečném smutku, které zažíváme, když prorazíme stěny své ulity a kvůli lásce uděláme něco úplně bláznivého (a smrtelně nebezpečného). Práva na překlad byla ještě před vydáním knihy prodána do patnácti zemí. New York Times Bestseller č. 1 v kategorii debut Nicola Yoonová vyrostla na Jamajce a v Brooklynu. Nyní žije v Los Angeles se svou dcerou a manželem, který se podílel na grafické úpravě jejího debutového románu Všechno, úplně všechno. Více o autorce najdete na www.nicolayoon.com nebo na Twitteru @NicolaYoon. „Yoonová svým čtenářům nabízí dobře vykreslené postavy a bohaté dialogy, od humorných až po filozofující. Tento dojemný příběh, který sahá až za hranice všednosti, zblízka zkoumá naše naděje, sny a nebezpečí, jež je spjaté s láskou, ve všech nejrůznějších podobách.“ Kirkus, Starred Review „VERDIKT: Všechno, úplně všechno je úžasný, úplně úžasný román." School Library Journal „Jakmile začnete číst román Všechno, úplně všechno, je nadmíru lákavé odsunout všechno, úplně všechno na druhou kolej a číst a číst... je totiž velmi obtížné nenechat se tímto příběhem osudové lásky zcela pohltit.“ The Times
