When We Were Monsters

release date: Sep 02, 2025
When We Were Monsters
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of All the Bright Places comes “a standout dark academia thriller” (e. lockhart, author of We Were Liars) about the monsters who walk among us—even in the glittering upper echelons of society. A dead teacher at an elite boarding school. Four students who had every reason to want her gone. Who is the monster? At an elite New England boarding school, eight students are selected for an exclusive storytelling workshop with the one and only Meredith Graffam—an enigmatic writer, director, and actress. For sixteen days, they will live in the isolated estate of the school’s founder, surrounded by snowy woods and a storm-tossed seas. Only one of the chosen will walk away with a lifechanging opportunity to realize their creative dreams. Everyone, including Graffam, has a compelling reason to be there—Effy, the orphan, Isaac, the legacy, Ness, the wallflower, Ramon, the outsider, and Arlo, whose unexpected arrival leaves Effy spiraling—but only the most ambitious will last the term. Graffam’s unorthodox methods push the students past the breaking point, revealing their darkest secrets, taking unthinkable risks, and slowly starting to turn on one another. But Graffam never expected they would turn on her . . .

Om du lämnar mig här
En dag är Ezras syster, Bea, plötsligt bara ... borta. Hon har inte berättat för någon vart hon ska, eller ens att hon tänkt sticka. Inte för Ezra, inte för pojkvännen, inte för sin bästa vän. Ezra förstår först ingenting. Men så hittar han en lapp med en mejladress som han inte känner igen. Kan den leda honom till systern? I Om du lämnar mig här berättas syskonens historia genom Ezra och Beas mejlkonversation, som tar sin början efter försvinnandet. Det är en ömsint och hoppfull bok om att röra sig framåt, bort från svåra hemförhållanden och mot en ljusare framtid. Om hur man hittar hem när man egentligen aldrig haft något. Om du lämnar mig här är David Levithan och Jennifer Nivens första gemensamma roman, men de är båda ungdomsboksgiganter i egen rätt. Levithan har skrivit en mängd ungdomsromaner, bland annat Jag, En och Dash och Lilys utmaningsbok (tillsammans med Rachel Cohn). Nivens genombrottsroman Som stjärnor i natten kom som Netflixfilm 2020 och hennes senaste bok Andetag släpptes våren 2021.

Holding Up the Universe
A New York Times Bestseller From the author of the New York Times bestseller All the Bright Places comes a heart-wrenching story about what it means to see someone—and love someone—for who they truly are. Everyone thinks they know Libby Strout, the girl once dubbed “America’s Fattest Teen.” But no one’s taken the time to look past her weight to get to know who she really is. Following her mom’s death, she’s been picking up the pieces in the privacy of her home, dealing with her heartbroken father and her own grief. Now, Libby’s ready: for high school, for new friends, for love, and for EVERY POSSIBILITY LIFE HAS TO OFFER. In that moment, I know the part I want to play here at MVB High. I want to be the girl who can do anything. Everyone thinks they know Jack Masselin, too. Yes, he’s got swagger, but he’s also mastered the impossible art of giving people what they want, of fitting in. What no one knows is that Jack has a newly acquired secret: he can’t recognize faces. Even his own brothers are strangers to him. He’s the guy who can re-engineer and rebuild anything in new and bad-ass ways, but he can’t understand what’s going on with the inner workings of his brain. So he tells himself to play it cool: Be charming. Be hilarious. Don’t get too close to anyone. Until he meets Libby. When the two get tangled up in a cruel high school game—which lands them in group counseling and community service—Libby and Jack are both pissed, and then surprised. Because the more time they spend together, the less alone they feel. . . . Because sometimes when you meet someone, it changes the world, theirs and yours. Jennifer Niven delivers another poignant, exhilarating love story about finding that person who sees you for who you are—and seeing them right back. "Niven is adept at creating characters. . . . [Libby''s] courage and body-positivity make for a joyful reading experience." --The New York Times “Holding Up the Universe . . . taps into the universal need to be understood. To be wanted. And that’s what makes it such a remarkable read.” —TeenVogue.com, “Why New Book Holding Up the Universe Is the Next The Fault in Our Stars” "Want a love story that will give you all the feels? . . . You''ll seriously melt!" —Seventeen Magazine

L'universo nei tuoi occhi
*** IL NUOVO STRAORDINARIO ROMANZO DI JENNIFER NIVEN *** Affascinante. Divertente. Distaccato. Ecco le tre parole d'ordine di Jack Masselin, diciassette anni e un segreto ben custodito: Jack non riesce a riconoscere il volto delle persone. Nemmeno quello dei suoi genitori, o quello dei suoi fratelli. Per questo si è dovuto impegnare molto per diventare Mister Popolarità. Si è esercitato per anni nell'impossibile arte di conoscere tutti senza conoscere davvero nessuno, di farsi amare senza amare a propria volta. E finora è riuscito a cavarsela. Ma le cose prendono una piega inaspettata quando Jack vede per la prima volta Libby. Libby che non è come le altre ragazze. Libby che porta addosso tutto il peso dell'universo: un passato difficile e tanti, troppi chili per poter essere accettata dai suoi compagni di scuola. Un giorno, per non sfigurare davanti agli amici, Jack prende di mira Libby in un gioco crudele, che spedisce entrambi in presidenza. Libby però non è il tipo che si lascia umiliare, e il suo incontro con Jack diventa presto uno scontro. Al mondo non esistono due caratteri più diversi dei loro. Eppure... più Jack e Libby si conoscono, meno si sentono soli. Perché ci sono persone che hanno il potere di cambiare tutto. Anche una vita intera. Dopo il clamoroso successo di Raccontami di un giorno perfetto, Jennifer Niven torna con un nuovo, straordinario romanzo che parla del potere salvifico dell'amore e del momento magico in cui incontriamo qualcuno capace di vederci - e di accettarci - per come siamo: imperfetti, fragili, veri. «L'universo nei tuoi occhi è il nuovo Colpa delle stelle.» - Teenvogue.com «Una straordinaria riflessione sull'importanza di accettarsi per quello che si è.» - School Library Journal «Due protagonisti che resteranno indelebili nel vostro cuore e una storia d'amore che vi mozzerà il fiato.» - Publishers Weekly «Bello, intenso, centrato su due personaggi borderline [...] Le pagine trasudano vitalità e ironia» - Claudia Morgoglione, «La Repubblica» «Jennifer Niven, la regina della letteratura Young Adult» - «La Repubblica»

Ada Blackjack

release date: Feb 21, 2012
Ada Blackjack
From the author of The Ice Master comes the remarkable true story of a young Inuit woman who survived six months alone on a desolate, uninhabited Arctic island In September 1921, four young men and Ada Blackjack, a diminutive 25-year-old Eskimo woman, ventured deep into the Arctic in a secret attempt to colonize desolate Wrangel Island for Great Britain. Two years later, Ada Blackjack emerged as the sole survivor of this ambitious polar expedition. This young, unskilled woman--who had headed to the Arctic in search of money and a husband--conquered the seemingly unconquerable north and survived all alone after her male companions had perished. Following her triumphant return to civilization, the international press proclaimed her the female Robinson Crusoe. But whatever stories the press turned out came from the imaginations of reporters: Ada Blackjack refused to speak to anyone about her horrific two years in the Arctic. Only on one occasion--after charges were published falsely accusing her of causing the death of one her companions--did she speak up for herself. Jennifer Niven has created an absorbing, compelling history of this remarkable woman, taking full advantage of the wealth of first-hand resources about Ada that exist, including her never-before-seen diaries, the unpublished diaries from other primary characters, and interviews with Ada''s surviving son. Ada Blackjack is more than a rugged tale of a woman battling the elements to survive in the frozen north--it is the story of a hero.
