A spellbinding story about chasing love, fighting family, losing friends and starting all over again, from the internationally acclaimed Lisa…
Moore.Sixteen-year-old Flannery Malone has it bad. She’s been in love with Tyrone O’Rourke since the days she still believed in Santa Claus. But Tyrone has grown from a dorky kid into an outlaw graffiti artist, the rebel-with-a-cause of Flannery’s dreams, literally too cool for school.Which is a problem, since he and Flannery are partners for the entrepreneurship class that she needs to graduate. And Tyrone’s vanishing act may have darker causes than she realizes.Tyrone isn’t Flannery’s only problem. Her mother, Miranda, can’t pay the heating bills, let alone buy Flannery’s biology book. Her little brother, Felix, is careening out of control. And her best-friend-since-forever, Amber, has fallen for a guy who is making her forget all about the things she’s always cared most about — Flannery included — leading Amber down a dark and dangerous path of her own.When Flannery decides to make a love potion for her entrepreneurship project, rumors that it actually works go viral, and she suddenly has a hot commodity on her hands. But a series of shattering events makes her realize that real-life love is far more potent — and potentially damaging — than any fairy-tale prescription.Written in Lisa Moore’s exuberant and inimitable style, Flannery is by turns heartbreaking and hilarious, empowering and harrowing — often all on the same page. It is a novel whose spell no reader will be able to resist.

From debut author Lisa Moore Ramée comes this funny and big-hearted debut middle grade novel about friendship, family, and standing…
up for what's right, perfect for fans of Angie Thomas's The Hate U Give and the novels of Renée Watson and Jason Reynolds. Twelve-year-old Shayla is allergic to trouble. All she wants to do is to follow the rules. (Oh, and she'd also like to make it through seventh grade with her best friendships intact, learn to run track, and have a cute boy see past her giant forehead.) But in junior high, it's like all the rules have changed. Now she's suddenly questioning who her best friends are and some people at school are saying she's not black enough. Wait, what? Shay's sister, Hana, is involved in Black Lives Matter, but Shay doesn't think that's for her. After experiencing a powerful protest, though, Shay decides some rules are worth breaking. She starts wearing an armband to school in support of the Black Lives movement. Soon everyone is taking sides. And she is given an ultimatum. Shay is scared to do the wrong thing (and even more scared to do the right thing), but if she doesn't face her fear, she'll be forever tripping over the next hurdle. Now that's trouble, for real. "Tensions are high over the trial of a police officer who shot an unarmed Black man. When the officer is set free, and Shay goes with her family to a silent protest, she starts to see that some trouble is worth making." (Publishers Weekly, "An Anti-Racist Children's and YA Reading List")

From the award-winning author of A Good Kind of Trouble, Lisa Moore Ramée, comes a hilarious and heartfelt young middle…
grade novel, in the vein of Judy Blume, about friendship, fitting in, and the ups and downs of middle school. Sure to resonate with fans of Rebecca Stead, Meg Medina, and Kelly Yang. Eleven-year-old Kylie's friends seem so much more mature than she is. And with middle school just a summer away, she's worried her friends might leave her behind, especially because she keeps embarrassing them. So Kylie applies her scientific brain to solve the problem and comes up with the Everybody Experiment: Hypothesis: Kylie Stanton will be mature if she does what everybody else does. Experiment: This summer, when all of Kylie's friends do something, she will do it too. Suddenly it's a whole new grown-up world for Kylie, with parties, unsupervised excursions, and boys. But the more research Kylie puts into the Everybody Experiment, the more she begins to wonder how she can do what everybody else does . . . without letting go of herself. Praise for The Everybody Experiment: ""Kylie is an endearing, relatable protagonist readers will root for...heartwarming and empowering."" -Kirkus Reviews "A meaningful and methodological story of friendship, family, and finding one's own voice." -The Horn Book ""Ramée's middle grade novel is well paced, traversing Kylie's summer with ease and dipping the reader into pivotal moments."" -ALA Booklist

From the author of A Good Kind of Trouble, a Walter Dean Myers Honor Book, comes another unforgettable story about…
finding your voice—and finding your people. Perfect for fans of Sharon Draper, Meg Medina, and Jason Reynolds. Eleven-year-old Jenae doesn’t have any friends—and she’s just fine with that. She’s so good at being invisible in school, it’s almost like she has a superpower, like her idol, Astrid Dane. At home, Jenae has plenty of company, like her no-nonsense mama; her older brother, Malcolm, who is home from college after a basketball injury; and her beloved grandpa, Gee. Then a new student shows up at school—a boy named Aubrey with fiery red hair and a smile that won’t quit. Jenae can’t figure out why he keeps popping up everywhere she goes. The more she tries to push him away, the more he seems determined to be her friend. Despite herself, Jenae starts getting used to having him around. But when the two are paired up for a class debate about the proposed name change for their school, Jenae knows this new friendship has an expiration date. Aubrey is desperate to win and earn a coveted spot on the debate team. There’s just one problem: Jenae would do almost anything to avoid speaking up in front of an audience—including risking the first real friendship she’s ever had.

Flannery, seize ans, est amoureuse de Tyrone O'Rourke depuis toujours. Depuis la maternelle, plus précisément, mais c'est du pareil au…
même. Jumelée à Tyrone pour un projet d'entrepreneuriat, Flannery est aux anges ! Et quand il lui propose de fabriquer des potions d'amour, elle accepte sans hésiter, des papillons dans le ventre. S'agit-il d'une déclaration voilée ? Est-ce que lui aussi pense à elle depuis leurs jeux d'enfants, bien avant qu'il se mette à sécher les cours et à faire des graffitis aux quatre coins de la ville ? On peut bien rêver... Évidemment, la vraie vie n'a rien d'un rêve, et ça, Flannery ne le sait que trop bien. Depuis quelque temps, on dirait que rien ne va. Il y a sa mère qui ignore comment elle paiera le prochain loyer, son frère qui n'est pas de tout repos et sa meilleure amie, Amber, qui ne semble plus avoir une seule minute à lui accorder. Et il y a Tyrone, bien sûr, qui disparaît toujours en coup de vent et qui n'est plus tout à fait le Tyrone qu'elle a connu. Au milieu de tout ça, Flannery doit se débrouiller toute seule, et elle commence à en avoir marre. Pour les lecteurs du collégial. 2016.
