By Amanda Quain. 2022
Georgiana Darcy gets the Pride & Prejudice retelling she deserves in Amanda Quain's Accomplished , a sparkling contemporary YA featuring…
a healthy dose of marching band romance, endless banter, and Charles Bingley as a ripped frat boy. It is a truth universally acknowledged that Georgiana Darcy should have been expelled after The Incident with Wickham Foster last year – at least if you ask any of her Pemberley Academy classmates. She may have escaped expulsion because of her family name, but she didn't escape the disappointment of her big brother Fitz, the scorn of the entire school, or, it turns out, Wickham's influence. But she's back for her junior year, and she needs to prove to everyone – Fitz, Wickham, her former friends, and maybe even herself – that she's more than just an embarrassment to the family name. How hard can it be to become the Perfect Darcy? All she has to do is: - Rebuild her reputation with the marching band (even if it kills her) - Forget about Wickham and his lies (no matter how tempting they still are), and - Distract Fitz Darcy — helicopter-sibling extraordinaire — by getting him to fall in love with his classmate, Lizzie Bennet (this one might be difficult...) Sure, it's a complicated plan, but so is being a Darcy. With the help of her fellow bandmate, Avery, matchmaking ideas lifted straight from her favorite fanfics, and a whole lot of pancakes, Georgie is going to see every one of her plans through. But when the weight of being the Perfect Darcy comes crashing down, Georgie will have to find her own way before she loses everything permanently—including the one guy who sees her for who she really is.

"Elles ont entre neuf et onze ans et viennent de milieux très divers. Mais au Camp Forevermore, sur la côte…
nord-ouest du Pacifique, la petite société aléatoire qu'elles forment se réorganise au gré des bracelets d'amitié échangés. Par groupes de cinq, elles quittent la rive en kayak pour rejoindre une île en mer, guidées par leur monitrice. Sauf qu'au petit matin, Nita, Siobhan, Isabel, Dina et Andee se retrouvent abandonnées à elles-mêmes, leurs kayaks à la dérive. On suit les cinq filles durant cette aventure cauchemardesque, mais surtout au-delà. Le destin des survivantes se déploie sous nos yeux de l'enfance à l'âge adulte, des destins singuliers, banals, extraordinaires que l'autrice aborde par des angles inattendus : l'amour étouffant d'un chien, un road-trip périlleux à travers les États-Unis, la quête de célébrité... Le traumatisme du camp aura-t-il déterminé la suite? C'est peut-être leur avenir qui éclaire a posteriori leurs gestes lors de cette excursion fondatrice. Kim Fu, de sa plume acérée, livre un roman obsédant sur la formation de l'identité et l'effet imprévisible du temps qui passe."The making of Joshua Cobb (An Ariel book)

“Irresistibly appealing and genuinely inspiring—a story that helps us to see the world more clearly, and to see ourselves as…
powerful enough to change it.” —Rebecca Stead, author of Newbery Award Winner When You Reach Me. In this compelling companion to New York Times bestseller Amal Unbound, Amal's friend Omar must contend with being treated like a second-class citizen when he gets a scholarship to an elite boarding school. Omar knows his scholarship to Ghalib Academy Boarding School is a game changer, providing him—the son of a servant—with an opportunity to improve his station in life. He can't wait to experience all the school has to offer, especially science club and hopefully the soccer team; but when he arrives, his hopes are dashed. First-year scholarship students aren't allowed to join clubs or teams—and not only that, they have to earn their keep doing menial chores. At first Omar is dejected—but then he gets angry when he learns something even worse—the school deliberately "weeds out" kids like him by requiring them to get significantly higher grades than kids who can pay tuition, making it nearly impossible for scholarship students to graduate. It's a good thing that in his favorite class, he’s learned the importance of being stubbornly optimistic. So with the help of his tightknit new group of friends—and with the threat of expulsion looming over him—he sets out to do what seems impossible: change a rigged system.Nigel and the moon
