Perfect for fans of 99 Days and Anna and the French Kiss, this unforgettable, sun-drenched summer romance from one of YA''s bestselling and most beloved authors, Sarah Mlynowski, is an irresistible dive into the joys of seizing the day and embracing the unexpected. Sam''s summer isn''t off to a great start. Her boyfriend, Eli, ditched her for a European backpacking trip, and now she''s a counselor at Camp Blue Springs: the summer camp her eleven-year-old self swore never to return to. Sam expects the next seven weeks to be a total disaster. That is, until she meets Gavin, the camp''s sailing instructor, who turns her expectations upside down. Gavin may have gotten the job just for his abs. Or that smile. Or the way he fills Sam''s free time with thrilling encounters—swimming under a cascade of stars, whispering secrets over s''mores, embarking on one (very precarious) canoe ride after dark. It''s absurd. After all, Sam loves Eli. But one totally absurd, completely off-the-wall summer may be just what Sam needs. And maybe, just maybe, it will teach her something about what she really wants.

A "funny, realistic, heartfelt, satiric, and unpredictable" novel about a group of big-city teens with mind-blowing powers (Ned Vizzini, New York Times-bestselling author). It was just an ordinary day at Manhattan''s Bloomberg High School. Socially awkward Olivia Byrne was stressing about her upcoming speech in public speaking class. Cooper Miller was flying high over the Yankees'' win from the night before. Mackenzie Feldman, Cooper''s girlfriend, was dreading the class''s upcoming flu vaccines because of her overwhelming fear of needles. Little did Mackenzie know that the shot would be the least of her worries . . . Now--after getting immunized--most of the students in homeroom 10B have the power to hear everyone''s thoughts: catty remarks, who''s crushing on whom, and what their teachers and parents really think about them. Once the students figure out what''s going on, the question becomes: What do they do with their new superpower? Use it for good . . . or for evil? Because world domination is on the menu . . . "A tour-de-force comic narration that will leave you gasping in awe--if you ever catch your breath from laughing." --E. Lockhart, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of We Were Liars "Smart and frequently hilarious . . .
