The only person who never needed anything from her was her grandmother—and now she’s dead. There’s only one thing that dulls the pressure: alcohol. Vodka, beer, peppermint schnapps—alcohol smooths the sharp edges of Bella’s life. And what’s the big deal? Everyone drinks. Besides, Bella can stop whenever she wants.

Iris has her own reasons for wanting to disappear, though unlike Alice, she doesn’t have the money or the means.

In order to get the reward and prove Steve’s innocence, they need to figure out who killed Brooke Donovan. And luckily Alice has exactly what they need—the complete works of Agatha Christie. If there’s anyone that can teach the girls how to solve a mystery it’s the master herself.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the critically acclaimed author of Girl in Pieces comes a stunning novel that Vanity Fair calls “impossibly moving” and “suffused with light”. In this raw, deeply personal story, a teenaged girl struggles to find herself amidst the fallout of her brother''s addiction in a town ravaged by the opioid crisis. For all of Emory''s life she''s been told who she is. In town she''s the rich one--the great-great-granddaughter of the mill''s founder. At school she''s hot Maddie Ward''s younger sister. And at home, she''s the good one, her stoner older brother Joey''s babysitter. Everything was turned on its head, though, when she and Joey were in the car accident that killed Candy MontClaire. The car accident that revealed just how bad Joey''s drug habit was. Four months later, Emmy''s junior year is starting, Joey is home from rehab, and the entire town of Mill Haven is still reeling from the accident. Everyone''s telling Emmy who she is, but so much has changed, how can she be the same person? Or was she ever that person at all? Mill Haven wants everyone to live one story, but Emmy''s beginning to see that people are more than they appear. Her brother, who might not be "cured," the popular guy who lives next door, and most of all, many "ghostie" addicts who haunt the edges of the town. People spend so much time telling her who she is--it might be time to decide for herself. A journey of one sister, one brother, one family, to finally recognize and love each other for who they are, not who they are supposed to be, You''d Be Home Now is Kathleen Glasgow''s glorious and heartbreaking story about the opioid crisis, and how it touches all of us.

How do you solve a murder? Follow the lessons of the master—Agatha Christie! Iris and Alice find themselves in the middle of another Castle Cove mystery in the sequel to New York Times bestseller The Agathas, by powerhouse authors Kathleen Glasgow and Liz Lawson. Last October, Alice Ogilvie''s ex-best friend, Brooke Donovan, was killed—and if it weren''t for Alice''s unlikely alliance with her tutor, Iris Adams, and her library of the complete works of Agatha Christie, the wrong person would almost certainly be sitting in prison for the crime. The Castle Cove police aren''t exactly great at solving crimes. In fact, they''re notorious for not solving crimes. Which is why, on the night of Castle Cove High''s annual Sadie Hawkins dance, Alice takes the opportunity to explore Levy Castle—the site of one of Castle Cove''s most infamous deaths. Mona Moody—u00adthe classic film star—died there almost a century ago, and Alice is pretty sure the police got that investu00adigation wrong, too. But before she can even think about digging deeper, she walks right into the scene of a new crime. Rebecca Kennedy, on the ground in a pool of blood. And standing over Kennedy? Another one of Alice''s ex-friends—Helen Park. The Castle Cove Police Department thinks it''s an open-and-shut case, but Alice and Iris are sure it can''t be that simple. Park isn''t a murderer—and the girls know all too well that in life, and in mysteries, things are rarely what they appear to be. To understand the present, sometimes you need to look to the past. Castle Cove is full of secrets, and Alice and Iris are about to uncover one of its biggest—and most dangerous—secrets of all.

O novo livro da autora de Rapariga em Pedaços. Um romance sobre amor e perda, e o que sentimos quando estamos mergulhados na escuridão. Quando o telefone tocou, Tiger estava longe de imaginar que a sua vida ia mudar para sempre. Do outro lado da linha, uma voz diz-lhe que a mãe morreu. E, nesse momento, a escuridão engole-a - no que, pelo menos a ela, lhe parece ser para sempre. Tiger está agora sozinha no mundo: a mãe nunca lhe falou sobre o pai, não tem avós, não tem ninguém. A vida desta miúda reduz-se a duas coisas: uma mala e a morada da casa da família de acolhimento que a espera. Na verdade, aquela morada vai ser substituída por outras, sucessivamente, num movimento sem fim, até que a esperança renasce, sob a forma de… uma irmã? Às vezes, a família entra na nossa vida de maneira inesperada; às vezes, nem percebemos logo o que está a vir na nossa direção. Mas, antes de compreender o que lhe está a acontecer, Tiger tem um desafio maior, difícil, doloroso: conseguirá ela emergir do imenso e tumultuoso rio da escuridão?

«Viver não é fácil.» Quando o sofrimento e a automutilação parecem ter consumido a vida de charlotte, uma rapariga de 17 anos, ela decide que é tempo de lutar, dentro e fora de si, para que a sobrevivência dê lugar à vida. Charlotte tem 17 anos e é vítima de bullying na escola. Charlotte tem 17 anos e acaba de perder o pai e a melhor amiga. Charlotte tem 17 anos e já sofreu demasiado. Charlotte tem 17 anos e a dor dos cortes que faz a si mesma é uma das formas que encontrou para lidar com todas as outras dores. «Viver não é fácil.» A cada nova cicatriz, o coração de Charlotte sossega um pouco, mas nunca é suficiente. Charlotte sente-se à beira do abismo, em desequilíbrio total - mas o abismo pode ser também um sítio onde, por vezes, se consegue ganhar asas, devagar, e aprender a voar. Narrado na primeira pessoa, este romance é o retrato tocante e extraordinário de uma rapariga em pedaços, que o mundo maltratou, e da sua viagem de autodescoberta e reconstrução. Com Charlotte caímos. Com Charlotte nos reerguemos. E com ela vislumbramos, ao seu lado, cada vez mais de perto, a forma da palavra «superação».

Bella tem apenas 15 anos, e tudo já parece perdido. Mas não, não vão destruí-la. Sobreviver não é viver. E é possível recuperarmos a nossa vida. Bella tem 15 anos e sente que tudo à sua volta está a ruir. Todos esperam algo dela. A mãe quer que ela tome conta da irmã e que a ajude com as tarefas domésticas; o pai quer que ela o deixe em paz e não o chateie; o ex-namorado quer que ela não seja tão intensa. A única pessoa que não lhe exigia nada era a sua avó - a sua querida avó, que agora morreu. A pressão que Bella sente aumenta a cada dia e a única coisa que alivia um pouco a sua angústia é o álcool. O álcool que a entorpece. O álcool que faz desaparecer os problemas que inundam a sua vida. E afinal, qual é o problema de beber um pouco? Todos o fazem, e ela acredita que pode parar quando quiser. Até que um dia, numa festa como tantas outras, Bella entra em coma alcoólico e acorda no hospital. Tudo quanto queria esconder de si mesma e dos outros fica claro, diante dos seus olhos, e só há uma solução: iniciar um difícil e longo caminho de recuperação e autodescoberta. Narrado na primeira pessoa, como Rapariga em Pedaços, esta é a desarmante e extraordinária história de uma miúda que enfrenta dependências, como milhares de raparigas na adolescência, do que a levou até lá e de que forma ela consegue reerguer-se, sem que a sua vida se desfaça em mil pedaços… de vidro.

No último dia das bruxas, a ex-melhor amiga de Alice Ogilvie foi morta. Se não fosse pela improvável aliança de Alice com sua colega, Íris Adams, e sua biblioteca com a obra completa de Agatha Christie, provavelmente a pessoa errada estaria na prisão pelo crime. A polícia de Enseada do Castelo não é muito boa em solucionar crimes. Na verdade, eles são famosos por não resolverem nada. É por isso que, na noite do baile anual, Alice aproveita a oportunidade para explorar o Castelo Levy – o local de uma das mortes mais infames de Enseada do Castelo. Mona Moody, a inesquecível estrela do cinema, morreu lá há quase um século, e Alice tem quase certeza de que a polícia também errou nessa investigação. Mas, antes que possa sequer pensar em ir mais a fundo, ela cai de paraquedas na cena de um novo crime. Rebecca Kennedy é encontrada caída no chão com uma poça de sangue. E quem está de pé ao lado de Kennedy? Outra ex-amiga de Alice – Helen Park. A polícia de Enseada do Castelo acha que é um caso fácil, mas Alice e Íris têm certeza de que não pode ser tão simples. Park não é uma assassina – e as garotas sabem muito bem que na vida e seus mistérios as coisas raramente são o que aparentam. Para entender o presente, é preciso olhar para o passado. Enseada do Castelo é cheia de segredos, e Alice e Íris estão prestes a descobrir um dos maiores – e mais perigosos – de todos. A noite do crime é o aguardado segundo volume da série Agathas, coescrito pelas prestigiadas autoras Kathleen Glasgow e Liz Lawson. Nessa série, jovens adolescentes investigam mistérios sombrios em uma narrativa intrigante e divertida, que homenageia a obra de Agatha Christie trazendo muitos de seus elementos para os tempos atuais.

Tiger Tolliver vive a Mesa Luna, località sperduta dell''Arizona, con sua madre June. È una ragazza di sedici anni che naviga tra le acque inquiete dell''adolescenza: ha un''unica amica, indossa abiti assurdi che sua mamma recupera dagli scatoloni abbandonati a bordo strada, suona la batteria senza avere idea di come si faccia, si vergogna del suo corpo. Spesso, si sente come un insetto rinchiuso in un barattolo di vetro. June è una donna ansiosa, iperprotettiva, che si arrabatta vendendo ai turisti marmellate fatte in casa e guidando il bibliobus della contea. Nonostante qualche attrito, ci sono state sempre e solo loro due, e hanno sempre tirato avanti come una "macchina ben oliata, carina e profumata". È un giorno di maggio pieno di luce, l''estate è alle porte e la scuola sta per finire, e Tiger ha appena dato il suo primo bacio quando riceve la telefonata che nessuno vorrebbe mai ricevere: sua madre è morta all''improvviso; ora, in assenza di un padre o altri parenti che possano prendersi cura di lei, tutto il suo mondo viene stipato in una valigia e spedito presso una famiglia affidataria, e poi un''altra, e un''altra ancora. Inghiottita nel vortice dei servizi sociali, Tiger non vede una possibile via d''uscita dal dolore e dalla solitudine, almeno fino a quando la speranza si manifesta nella persona di Shayna, una sorellastra più grande stravagante e turbolenta come un tornado. Vivere con Shayna è come vivere sulle montagne russe, e sarà proprio questo a dare a Tiger la forza per riemergere, poco alla volta, dall''abisso del suo cuore spezzato, a tirare fuori gli artigli, a fare amicizia col buio.
