O Instituto Ellingham é um famoso colégio privado em Vermont. Fundado por Albert Ellingham, um magnata do início do século XX, é um local maravilhoso, repleto de charadas, caminhos mirabolantes e jardins. "Um lugar", nas palavras de seu criador, "onde aprender é um jogo." Porém, em 1936, logo após a abertura da escola, a esposa e a filha de Ellingham são sequestradas. A única pista digna de ser seguida é uma debochada carta listando métodos para cometer um assassinato, assinada com o pseudônimo "Cordialmente, Cruel". A polícia não consegue resolver o crime, que se torna um dos grandes enigmas da história dos Estados Unidos. Algo como aquilo jamais poderia acontecer novamente, é claro. Anos depois, Stevie Bell, aluna e detetive amadora, está pronta para começar seu primeiro ano no Instituto Ellingham, e tem um plano ambicioso: solucionar esse antigo caso. Isto é, depois de lidar com sua exigente vida escolar, seus deveres de casa e seus excêntricos colegas de classe. Mas algo estranho acontece. Cordialmente Cruel faz um retorno surpresa e a morte revisita a escola. O passado ressurge das cinzas. Alguém que se safou de um assassinato ainda está vivo. Será que Stevie e seus amigos vão conseguir desvendar a identidade do dono da assinatura? Primeiro livro de uma trilogia, Cordialmente Cruel mostra todo o talento e o amor que a escritora Maureen Johnson tem pela literatura policial, mas sem esquecer do seu público fiel, o que torna este livro uma obra rara, que mistura dois gêneros de maneira inesquecível.

“Who better to raise teens’ awareness of mental illness and health than the YA authors they admire?” —Booklist (starred review) “[A] much-needed, enlightening book.” —School Library Journal (starred review) Your favorite YA authors including Ellen Hopkins, Maureen Johnson, and more recount their own experiences with mental health in this raw, real, and powerful collection of essays that explores everything from ADD to PTSD. Have you ever felt like you just couldn’t get out of bed? Not the occasional morning, but every day? Do you find yourself listening to a voice in your head that says “you’re not good enough,” “not good looking enough,” “not thin enough,” or “not smart enough”? Have you ever found yourself unable to do homework or pay attention in class unless everything is “just so” on your desk? Everyone has had days like that, but what if you have them every day? You’re not alone. Millions of people are going through similar things. However issues around mental health still tend to be treated as something shrouded in shame or discussed in whispers. It’s easier to have a broken bone—something tangible that can be “fixed”—than to have a mental illness, and easier to have a discussion about sex than it is to have one about mental health. Life Inside My Mind is an anthology of true-life events from writers of this generation, for this generation. These essays tackle everything from neurodiversity to addiction to OCD to PTSD and much more. The goals of this book range from providing a home to those who are feeling alone, awareness to those who are witnessing a friend or family member struggle, and to open the floodgates to conversation.

New York Times and Publishers Weekly bestseller! In New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson’s second novel in the Truly Devious series, there are more twists and turns than Stevie Bell can imagine. No answer is given freely, and someone will pay for the truth with their life. The Truly Devious case—an unsolved kidnapping and triple murder that rocked Ellingham Academy in 1936—has consumed Stevie for years. It’s the very reason she came to the academy. But then her classmate was murdered, and her parents quickly pull her out of school. For her safety, they say. She must move past this obsession with crime. Stevie’s willing to do anything to get back to Ellingham, be back with her friends, and solve the Truly Devious case. Even if it means making a deal with the despicable Senator Edward King. And when Stevie finally returns, she also returns to David: the guy she kissed, and the guy who lied about his identity—Edward King’s son. But larger issues are at play. Where did the murderer hide? What’s the meaning of the riddle Albert Ellingham left behind? And what, exactly, is at stake in the Truly Devious affair? The Ellingham case isn’t just a piece of history—it’s a live wire into the present. * Junior Library Guild Selection * Chicago Public Library''s Best of the Best Books of 2019 * Hypable''s Best Books of 2019 * Praise for Book One: “The Agatha Christie-like ecosystem pairs with lacerating contemporary wit, and alternating past and present scenes makes for a multilayered, modern detective story.” —New York Times Book Review “Remember the first time reading Harry Potter and knowing it was special? There’s that same sense of magic in the introduction of teen Sherlock-in-training Stevie Bell.” —USA Today (four stars) “Be still, my Agatha-Christie-loving beating heart.” —Bustle

New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson weaves a delicate tale of murder and mystery in the first book of a striking new series, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and E. Lockhart. Ellingham Academy is a famous private school in Vermont for the brightest thinkers, inventors, and artists. It was founded by Albert Ellingham, an early twentieth century tycoon, who wanted to make a wonderful place full of riddles, twisting pathways, and gardens. “A place,” he said, “where learning is a game.” Shortly after the school opened, his wife and daughter were kidnapped. The only real clue was a mocking riddle listing methods of murder, signed with the frightening pseudonym “Truly, Devious.” It became one of the great unsolved crimes of American history. True-crime aficionado Stevie Bell is set to begin her first year at Ellingham Academy, and she has an ambitious plan: She will solve this cold case. That is, she will solve the case when she gets a grip on her demanding new school life and her housemates: the inventor, the novelist, the actor, the artist, and the jokester. But something strange is happening. Truly Devious makes a surprise return, and death revisits Ellingham Academy. The past has crawled out of its grave. Someone has gotten away with murder. The two interwoven mysteries of this first book in the Truly Devious series dovetail brilliantly, and Stevie Bell will continue her relentless quest for the murderers in books two and three.

När tre författargiganter för unga vuxna möts händer fantastiska grejer. En snöstorm sätter spelet i rullning: ett tåg spårar ur, mobilsamtal når inte fram, missförstånd, dikeskörningar, alldeles för många och för gapiga cheerleaders och första kyssar – allt under en förtrollad julhelg. Bästsäljande trion Maureen Johnson, John Green och Lauren Myracle skriver här varsin fristående – men sammanlänkad – charmigt romantisk berättelse i juletid. När Jubilees föräldrar inte kommer hem efter en shoppingtur före jul, sätter sig Jubilee på tåget till morföräldrarna i Florida. Samma kväll drar en snöstorm av guds nåde in och tåget blir stående mitt ute i ingenstans. Det här ska komma att bli en annorlunda jul för Jubilee: mötet med Jeb i kafévagnen, mannen i folie inne på Waffle House - och så Stuart. Stuart som öppnar upp sitt hem och sitt hjärta ... Tobin och hans kompisar The Duke och JP sitter djupt nersjunkna i soffan med ett Bond-maraton på teven när Keun, som jobbar på Waffle House under julhelgen, ringer. Hans önskan är lika tydlig som desperat: Kom till Waffle House NU. Och ta med Twister-spelet. Det ska visa sig bli en lång och äventyrlig färd – i snöstorm. Addie deppar. Hon har dumpat sin pojkvän Jeb och nu ångrar hon sig. Det är jul och snö i massor och det bakas julkakor i köket, men Addie stannar på rummet. Tjejkompisarna försöker muntra upp henne men någonstans inne i Addie gror en självinsikt, och den är inte speciellt vacker. En såld minigris, en peppande pensionär på Starbucks och turkos snagg verkar vara vad som behövs för att få Jeb tillbaka.
