New Releases by Brittany Cavallaro

A must-read for fans of Morgan Matson and Kasie West, this YA novel in verse and conversation--cowritten by bestselling authors Jeff Zentner and Brittany Cavallaro--follows a girl trying to outrun her problems and a boy just discovering the outside world as they embark on a life-changing road trip. What do you do when there's nothing in this world you want more than to spend two more hours with someone and nothing in the world you want less than to only spend two more hours with someone? Sylvie said she wanted to live the van life after high school, but all she really wanted was to escape. With unlimited resources and an escape-artist golden retriever by her side, she keeps her eyes on the road to distract her from everything she left behind. Knox grew up on the edge of society, without a phone, a school, or a real name. He's never felt like he had a firm place to stand, but he's done writing his story in vanishing ink. On one of the worst days of Sylvie's life, Knox helps rescue her dog and breaks his arm in the process. To apologize, Sylvie offers him a ride. But Knox is keeping some big secrets, and so is Sylvie. They must decide: If the other person knew the whole story, would they take a chance on--and maybe even fall for--a wayfaring stranger?

Winona e Lucille precisam fugir, então saem pelas estradas numa aventura em busca de quem são e da liberdade de poder viver a própria vida. Sem volta traz a escrita envolvente de Emily Henry, junto com Brittany Cavallaro, para o público jovem adulto. Apesar de parecerem viver vidas opostas, Winona e Lucille têm mais em comum do que muitos acreditam: se sentem impotentes, injustiçadas e traídas por quem deveria protegê-las. Lucille trabalha há anos na lanchonete com a mãe, sempre pensando na nova vida que tanto deseja quando se formar no ensino médio. Mas, sempre que junta dinheiro para esse sonho, precisa pagar uma conta ou consertar algo... geralmente culpa do irmão mais velho, o protegido da mãe que vive arrumando desculpas para não trabalhar e que, além de não ajudar, começou a traficar debaixo do teto delas. Já Winona vive numa mansão e tem roupas, acessórios e carros de luxo. Entretanto, tudo é escolhido e controlado pelo pai desde que a mãe dela morreu, dez anos antes. Winona não pode comer na hora errada, falar na hora errada nem pensar quando não deve. Seu pai é calculista e conhece tudo e todos, fechando um cerco sufocante ao redor da filha. Numa noite, elas percebem que não podem mais esperar a formatura para começar a viver a vida que tanto sonham. Munidas apenas com um plano grandioso para escapar da cidadezinha do interior de uma vez por todas, elas só precisam arrumar alguns — muitos — dólares... e um conversível vermelho também não seria má ideia. Quando Winona e Lucille finalmente dão um basta, despejam toda a fúria que sentem na estrada, a caminho de uma vida nova. "Uma afiada união de comédia sombria capaz de arrancar gargalhadas, feminismo feroz e amizade comovente." - Jeff Zentner, vencedor do Morris Award e autor de Dias de despedida)

New York Times bestselling author Brittany Cavallaro delivers the thrilling conclusion to her YA duology set in a reimagined American monarchy about a girl fighting for her own freedom, trying to change the government from within . . . or burn it all down. For the first time in her life, Claire Emerson isn’t under a man’s control. She’s escaped from her dangerous father, and her fiancé, Governor Remy Duchamp, is too weak to rule. All eyes fall on Claire—and the power she could wield. But that power is precarious as she and Remy are leading St. Cloud in exile after the General’s attempted coup. And when King Washington descends on the small province, he brings with him his baseball team, Claire’s brother, and a proximity to power Claire has never dreamed of. With few allies to support her, she determines her best chance at survival is earning the King’s good graces. Claire’s schemes quickly get out of hand, reminding her that it isn’t about who holds the power. It’s about a system that grants such power to a select few, and the men who built it that way. Claire isn’t anyone’s muse, and if she can’t fix the system from within, she’s determined to be the spark of revolution in the First American Kingdom.

“Voglio un’agenzia,” disse Charlotte. “Un’agenzia investigativa, piccola. A Londra, perché è l’unico posto appropriato in cui vivere. Ci riprenderemo Baker Street. Adesso è un museo. E prenderemo dei casi. Li risolveremo insieme e io gestirò le finanze, dal momento che tu sei una frana in matematica.” Dopo un semestre di studio in America, durante il quale sono stati accusati di essere degli assassini e hanno rischiato la vita, Jamie Watson e Charlotte Holmes decidono di passare le vacanze invernali nella casa di famiglia di lei nel Sussex. Nell’antica e maestosa dimora, però, Charlotte non è l’unica a custodire dei segreti e la tensione tra i due ragazzi si fa sempre più palpabile. Qualcosa di non detto sembra insinuarsi tra di loro. Quando improvvisamente l’amato zio Leander, che si stava occupando di un giro di falsi d’arte in Germania, scompare, Charlotte è determinata a ritrovarlo e Watson, ancora una volta, è pronto ad aiutarla. Prima fermata: Berlino. Primo contatto: August Moriarty (sì, discendente proprio di quel Moriarty...) creduto morto dai più e amato-odiato da Charlotte. Mentre esplorano la scena underground berlinese e poi si spingono fino a Praga per un’asta davvero singolare, Holmes e Watson si rendono conto che questo caso è molto più complesso di una semplice scomparsa e ben più pericoloso; quello che scopriranno infatti potrà cambiare per sempre ciò che sanno delle proprie famiglie e di se stessi.

Charlotte está fugindo de Lucien Moriarty e dos seus próprios erros. Ninguém tem notícias dela desde a fatídica noite no gramado em Sussex – e Charlotte prefere que continue assim.

Holmes e Watson podem até não ter a intenção de se reencontrarem, mas quando estranhos eventos começam a acontecer, fica claro que alguém está tentando reuni-los. Alguém que os observa há tempos, aguardando o momento certo. Fazendo planos. Alguém que quer ver um deles sofrendo, e o outro, morto. Este é o terceiro volume da série Charlotte Holmes.

Thelma and Louise gets remade in this powerful, darkly funny novel from acclaimed authors Brittany Cavallaro and Emily Henry. When Winona and Lucille have had enough of the controlling men in their lives, they take their rage on the road to make a new life for themselves. Winona has been starving for life in the seemingly perfect home that she shares with her seemingly perfect father, celebrity weatherman Stormy Olsen. No one knows that he locks the pantry door to control her eating and leaves bruises where no one can see them. Lucille has been suffocating beneath the needs of her mother and her drug-dealing brother, wondering if there's more out there for her than disappearing waitress tips and a lifetime of barely getting by. One harrowing night, Winona and Lucille realize they can't wait until graduation to start their new lives. They need out. Now. One hour later, they're armed with a plan that will take them from their small Michigan town to Chicago. All they need is three grand, fast. And really, a stolen convertible can't hurt. Chased by the oppression, toxicity, and powerlessness that has held them down, Winona and Lucille must reclaim their strength if they are going to make their daring escape—and get away with it. Brittany Cavallaro is the author of the New York Times bestselling Charlotte Holmes series. Emily Henry is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Book Lovers, People We Meet on Vacation and Beach Read. Together, they have created "a razor-sharp union of sidesplitting dark comedy, fierce feminism, and poignant friendship, paced like an Alfa-Romeo at full throttle, and written in gleaming, perfect, gut-punch sentences." (Jeff Zentner, Morris Award-winning author of The Serpent King)

In the explosive conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Charlotte Holmes series, Holmes and Watson think they’re finally in the clear after graduating from Sherringford…but danger awaits in the hallowed halls of Oxford. Charlotte Holmes and Jamie Watson finally have a chance to start over. With all the freedom their pre-college summer program provides and no one on their tail, the only mystery they need to solve, once and for all, is what they are to each other. But upon their arrival at Oxford, Charlotte is immediately drawn into a new case: a series of accidents befell the theater program at Oxford last year, culminating in a young woman going missing on the night of a major performance. The mystery has gone unsolved; the case is cold. And no one—least of all the girl’s peculiar, close-knit group of friends—is talking. When Watson and Holmes join the theater program, the “accidents” start anew, giving them no choice but to throw themselves into the case. But as the complicated lines of friendship, love, and loyalty blur, time is running out—and tragedy waits in the wings.

Unhistorical draws on historical narrative, confessional poetry, and detective fiction to tell the story of a contemporary romantic relationship that begins in Scotland and falls apart in America, as the narrator finds herself in the role of spectator to her partner's genius. Many of these poems draw from the elegiac tradition, following a speaker who is, at turns, tourist in and historian of a landscape that is foreign to them. The middle section of this manuscript, entitled The Resurrectionists, follows an alternate version of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Holmes and Watson as they journey to solve a mystery in Scotland while grappling with their own anguished friendship. /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name: Table Normal; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow: yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent: mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom: .0001pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;}

Jamie is going through the motions at Sherringford, trying to finish his senior year without incident, with a nice girlfriend he can’t seem to fall for. Charlotte is on the run, from Lucien Moriarty and from her own mistakes. No one has seen her since that fateful night on the lawn in Sussex—and Charlotte wants it that way. She knows she isn’t safe to be around. She knows her Watson can’t forgive her. Holmes and Watson may not be looking to reconcile, but when strange things start happening, it’s clear that someone wants the team back together. Someone who has been quietly observing them both. Making plans. Biding their time. Someone who wants to see one of them suffer and the other one dead.

But nothing about their time off is proving simple, including Holmes and Watson’s growing feelings for each other. When Charlotte’s beloved Uncle Leander goes missing from the Holmes estate—after being oddly private about his latest assignment in a German art forgery ring—the game is afoot once again, and Charlotte throws herself into a search for answers. So begins a dangerous race through the gritty underground scene in Berlin and glittering art houses in Prague, where Holmes and Watson discover that this complicated case might change everything they know about their families, themselves, and each other.

But when a student they both have a history with dies under suspicious circumstances, ripped straight from the most terrifying of the Sherlock Holmes stories, Jamie can no longer afford to keep his distance.

The poems in Brittany Cavallaro's Girl-King are whispered from behind a series of masks, those of victim and aggressor, nineteenth-century madame and reluctant magician's girl, of truck-stop Persephone and frustrated Tudor scholar. This "expanse of girls, expanding still" chase each other through history, disappearing in an Illinois cornfield only to re-emerge on the dissection table of a Scottish artist-anatomist. But these poems are not just interested in historical narrative: they peer, too, at the past's marginalia, at its "blank pages" as well as its "scrawls and dashes." Always, they return to "the dark, indelicate question" of power and sexuality, of who can rule the "city where no one is from." These girls search for the connection between "alive and will stay that way," between each dying star and the emptiness that can collapse everything.
