than they bargained for in this relatable and swoon-worthy middle grade rom-com.Sofia has had enough of everyone thinking she&’s sooo nice. &“Sweet,&” &“innocent,&” and &“goody two-shoes&” are how her classmates would describe her, but there&’s more to her than that. She wants everyone—especially her forever crush, Mark Chen—to see that she has other sides. To help her level up to Official Cool Girl, Sofia enlists trendy and confident Holden—the guy who everyone else has written off as a total player and a first-class jerk. Under Holden&’s guidance, Sofia learns to revamp her style, ride a skateboard, and stand up for herself. At the same time, Holden learns that when he&’s alone with Sofia, it&’s safe to drop the cool guy act and just be himself. When their efforts start to pay off, Sofia is faced with a choice. Should she stick with the plan—and risk losing herself in the process—or take a chance on the person everyone says will break her heart?By Rita Williams-Garcia. 2013

"A charming, entertaining, and true book...I would follow Dee's advice any time." -Gayle Forman, author of Frankie & Bug and…
Not Nothing With charm and sincerity reminiscent of Judy Blume and Rebecca Stead, this debut middle grade novel is a "compassionate" ( Kirkus Reviews ), hopeful story about a girl finding herself through secretly giving out advice to classmates. Back when Dee and Juniper were still friends, Dee never hid in the bathroom. Now, at the beginning of sixth grade, Dee finds herself there often. The dripping faucet is annoying, and there are other places she'd rather be-like at home and in her room with her cat, Norman. But at least Dee is safe from overenthusiastic teachers and having to see Juniper walking through the halls with her new friends. Dee would rather be alone than witness that. But it turns out Dee isn't the only one hiding from something. There are kids all over the school worrying in secret and needing someone to talk to. After Dee helps a second grader with spelling advice, more students begin coming to Dee with their problems. It turns out she's a good listener, and she likes helping people. And when she starts receiving mysterious notes, it seems someone out there wants to be her friend-if only they would reveal themselvesBy Nashae Jones. 2025
A girl learns the hard way to be careful what she wishes for in this sweet and funny middle grade…
rom-com featuring a chaos-loving West African trickster god. Birdie has big plans for eighth grade. This is the year that she gets a boyfriend, and since she and her best friend, Deve, do everything together, it makes sense that Deve will get a girlfriend. This is the kind of math Birdie doesn't find intimidating-it's Eighth Grade 101. (Birdie + Boyfriend) + (Deve + Girlfriend) = Normal Eighth Grade Experience. And normal is something Birdie craves, especially with a mom as overprotective as hers. She doesn't expect Deve to be so against her plan, or for their fight to blow up in her face. So when the West African god Anansi appears to her, claiming to be able to make everything right again, Birdie pushes past her skepticism and makes a wish for the whole mess to go away. But with a trickster god, your wish is bound to come true in a way you never imagined. Before long, Birdie regrets her rash words...especially when she realizes what's really going on with her and Deve. With her reality upended, can Birdie figure out how to undo her wish?By Léa Deschamps. 2025
"Les Échos du Silence" est un roman intimiste qui plonge dans les profondeurs de l'âme humaine à travers l'histoire de…
Tom, un directeur créatif parisien dont la vie bascule après une trahison qui détruit sa relation avec Nick, son compagnon américain. Cette chronique d'une reconstruction suit le parcours de Tom entre Paris et Berlin, entre culpabilité et rédemption. Le récit explore les thèmes universels de l'amour, de la perte, du pardon et de la renaissance à travers une écriture sensible et sans artifices. À travers quinze chapitres soigneusement tissés, l'auteure Léa Deschamps nous livre une réflexion poignante sur la fragilité des relations humaines et la force nécessaire pour se reconstruire après avoir tout perdu. Du prologue bouleversant à la conclusion pleine d'espoir, le livre traverse les différentes étapes du deuil amoureux avec une authenticité rare. L'histoire se déroule entre trois villes - Paris, lieu des souvenirs et des regrets ; Boston, devenue le refuge de Nick ; et Berlin, terre de renaissance pour Tom. Chaque lieu devient un personnage à part entière, influençant et reflétant l'évolution émotionnelle du protagoniste. Plus qu'une simple histoire d'amour brisé, "Les Échos du Silence" est une exploration profonde de l'identité, de la culpabilité et de la résilience. C'est un témoignage sur la possibilité de renaître de ses cendres et de transformer ses blessures en force. Ce premier roman de Léa Deschamps se distingue par sa sincérité brute et sa capacité à transformer une histoire personnelle en une réflexion universelle sur la nature humaine et notre capacité à nous reconstruire après la tempêteBy Julia DeVillers. 2025
