Lark & Kasim start a revolution / by Callender, Kacen.; Khadija, Sabrena.;
Lark Winters wants to be a writer, and for now that means posting on their social media accounts--anything to build their platform. When former best friend Kasim accidentally posts a thread on Lark's Twitter declaring his love for a secret, unrequited crush, Lark's tweets are suddenly the talk of the school--and beyond. To protect Kasim, Lark decides to take the fall, pretending they accidentally posted the thread in reference to another classmate. It seems like a great idea: Lark gets closer to their crush, Kasim keeps his privacy, and Lark's social media stats explode. But living a lie takes a toll--as does the judgment of thousands of Internet strangers. Lark tries their best to be perfect at all costs, but nothing seems good enough for the anonymous hordes--or for Kasim, who is growing closer to Lark, just like it used to be between them ... In the end, Lark must embrace their right to their messy emotions and learn how to be in love.LSC

Connections in death / by Robb, J. D.,1950-author.;
In this gritty and gripping new novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series, Eve Dallas fights to save the innocent--and serve justice to the guilty--on the streets of New York. Homicide cop Eve Dallas and her billionaire husband, Roarke, are building a brand-new school and youth shelter. They know that the hard life can lead kids toward dangerous crossroads--and with this new project, they hope to nudge a few more of them onto the right path. For expert help, they hire child psychologist Dr. Rochelle Pickering--whose own brother pulled himself out of a spiral of addiction and crime with Rochelle's support. Lyle is living with Rochelle while he gets his life together, and he's thrilled to hear about his sister's new job offer. But within hours, triumph is followed by tragedy. Returning from a celebratory dinner with her boyfriend, she finds Lyle dead with a syringe in his lap, and Eve's investigation confirms that this wasn't just another OD. After all his work to get clean, Lyle's been pumped full of poison--and a neighbor with a peephole reports seeing a scruffy, pink-haired girl fleeing the scene. Now Eve and Roarke must venture into the gang territory where Lyle used to run, and the ugly underground world of tattoo parlors and strip joints where everyone has taken a wrong turn somewhere. They both believe in giving people a second chance. Maybe even a third or fourth. But as far as they're concerned, whoever gave the order on Lyle Pickering's murder has run out of chances.

Ocean state / by O'Nan, Stewart,1961-author.;
"In the first line of Ocean State, we learn that a high school student was murdered, and we find out who did it. The story that unfolds from there with incredible momentum is thus one of the build-up to and fall-out from the murder, told through the alternating perspectives of the four women at its heart. Angel, the murderer, Carol, her mother, and Birdy, the victim, all come alive on the page as they converge in a climax both tragic and inevitable. Watching over it all is the retrospective testimony of Angel's younger sister Marie, who reflects on that doomed autumn of 2009 with all the wisdom of hindsight. Angel and Birdy love the same teenage boy, frantically and single mindedly, and are moved by the intensity of their feelings to extremes neither could have anticipated. O'Nan's expert hand paints a fully realized portrait of these women, but also weaves a compelling and heartbreaking story of working-class life in Ashaway, Rhode Island. Propulsive, haunting, and deeply rendered, Ocean State is a masterful novel by one of our greatest storytellers"--

Saving Face A Novel [electronic resource] : by Shah, Mansi.aut; CloudLibrary;
People love a rags-to-riches story. But they hate an imposter who lies to get ahead . . . To all those who know her, Ami Shah is the epitome of glamour. She has unapologetically leveraged her privileged upbringing as the daughter of Indian aristocrats in Singapore to build her American skincare empire, Amala—a business that’s now set for a dream acquisition by a Fortune 500 company. There’s just one problem: she’s not the real Ami Shah.  Forty years earlier, a girl named Monica Joseph is abandoned at the Gate of Hope, a Singapore orphanage attached to a convent school. Given how she comes into the word, the most her academic prowess and etiquette earns her is a job as a maid for Ami, a schoolmate from the upper-class Shah family. Working a menial job with no other opportunities while Ami applies to university and then business school causes Monica to nurse a quiet rage at the unfairness of life. Until Monica steals not only Ami’s acceptance letter from the London Business School but also Ami’s identity and starts a whole new life on the other side of the world. And miraculously, she almost pulls it off. When “Ami” is nominated for a life-changing entrepreneurial award and the media wants to learn her origin story, Monica’s carefully constructed persona and life’s work are in jeopardy. Monica knows there is only one surefire way to cover her tracks. She must return to the scene of crime, the place she vowed never to revisit: home.

The longest road : to hell and back again from addiction to advocacy / by Calendino, Joe,author.; Little, Gary,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Recovery is the longest road toward a better future. So says Joe Calendino, former full-patch Hells Angel and now award-winning youth community leader. In The Longest Road, Calendino remembers his journey to rock bottom, when he spiralled out of control, consumed by drugs and alcohol, ending up strung out and desperate in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Now, as executive director of Yo Bro Yo Girl Youth Initiative, it's his mission to protect at-risk youth from that same fate. In The Longest Road, Calendino keeps it raw and real -- he's the first to admit that his path to advocacy has been anything but straight. From the Hells Angels clubhouse to the darkest crack dens to the scene of a recent life-changing accident, Calendino reveals all his remarkable moments of struggle, intervention, recovery and redemption. Written with Calendino's trusted confidant and former high school counsellor Gary Little, and building on their first book together, To Hell and Back, this new memoir shares not just Calendino's story but also the stories of the hidden angels who saved his life and those of the young people he now strives to help. There are families who have lost loved ones to overdose, friends whose habits have landed them in gangs or in jail, and the call to action of a community that needs help, healing and hope -- now more than ever. With this page-turning memoir, Calendino shows he is living proof that sometimes all it takes is someone believing in you to completely change your life."--

We move together / by Fritsch, Kelly.; McGuire, Anne,1981-; Trejos, Eduardo.;
"A bold and colorful exploration of all the ways that people navigate through the spaces around them and a celebration of the relationships we build along the way. We Move Together follows a mixed-ability group of kids as they creatively negotiate everyday barriers and find joy and connection in disability culture and community. The authors disabled, parents, and activists-have struggled to find books to read to their own kids that positively feature disabled characters in an engaging and non-didactic manner. Not surprising given that, in a recent study of 258 main characters in children's picture books, only one was visibly disabled. That's why they created this perfect tool for families, schools, and libraries to facilitate conversations about disability, accessibility, social justice, and community building. This fun and inspiring book includes a kid-friendly glossary (for ages 3-10)"--Provided by publisher.LSC
