The swallows : a novel / by Lutz, Lisa,author.;
A new teacher at a New England prep school ignites a gender war--with deadly consequences--in a provocative novel from the bestselling author of The Passenger and the Spellman Files series. What do you love? What do you hate? What do you want? It starts with this simple writing prompt from Alex Witt, Stonebridge Academy's new creative writing teacher. When the students' answers raise disturbing questions of their own, Ms. Witt knows there's more going on the school than the faculty wants to see. She soon learns about The Ten--the students at the top of the school's social hierarchy--as well as their connection to something called The Darkroom. Ms. Witt can't remain a passive observer. She finds the few girls who've started to question the school's "boys will be boys" attitude and incites a resistance that quickly becomes a movement. But just as it gains momentum, she also attracts the attention of an unknown enemy who knows a little too much about her--including what brought her to Stonebridge in the first place. Meanwhile, Gemma, a defiant senior, has been plotting her attack for years, waiting for the right moment. Shy loner Norman hates his role in the Darkroom, but can't find the courage to fight back until he makes an unlikely alliance. And then there's Finn Ford, an English teacher with a shady reputation who keeps one eye on his literary ambitions and one on Ms. Witt. As the school's secrets begin to trickle out, a boys-versus-girls skirmish turns into an all-out war, with deeply personal--and potentially fatal--consequences for everyone involved. Lisa Lutz's blistering, timely tale shows us what can happen when silence wins out over decency for too long--and why the scariest threat of all might be the idea that sooner or later, girls will be girls.

Something's up with Arlo / by Cerilli, Matteo L.;
"Twelve-year-old Emily Nero's best friend is a ghost. For as long as Nero can remember, she's been "haunted" by Arlo. He's always had her back, especially as Nero navigates her workaholic mother, irritable father, even the mega-jerks at school. Nero's been caught too many times looking at "nothing" and talking to "no one," which officially made her "the weird girl." So when she has the chance to start over as "normal" at a prestigious private school, Nero is hopeful that things will change for the better. If she can get top grades at a top school, maybe she'll stop feeling like she's never good enough. Maybe her parents will finally see her--and she'll stop feeling like a ghost too. But on Nero's first day at her new school, something's up with Arlo, something very wrong: her best friend has suddenly turned on her. Glitching electronics, flickering lights, bad smells and cold drafts are only the beginning. Arlo is changing into something scary. And the only clues he gives Nero leave her with more questions than answers. If she wants to save Arlo and their friendship, Nero will have to break old cycles. She will have to let herself be seen, let in new friends, and--worst of all--say goodbye to the past. Spooky and sweet in turns, Something's Up with Arlo is about the stories we tell ourselves and finding the courage to make our truth be heard."--

Blue to the sky / by McNicoll, Sylvia,1954-;
"Twelve-year-old Ella experiences a rich and vivid world through her passion for poetry and music, but the kids at school only know her as Allergic-To-Everything-Girl. After six years of homeschooling following her last anaphylactic reaction, Ella returns to school in sixth grade with a fear of another allergic reaction, a fear of losing Mom just as she lost Omi, and a fear of public speaking, which stops her from presenting her poems and sharing her passion. When her best friend, Zenia, convinces Ella to sign up for the CN Tower climb to raise money for charity and to befriend two cute boys, Ella is sure that performing her poem at the top of the tower will cure her of stage fright. Training to climb 1,776 steps is no small task, but even against impossible odds, Ella must find the courage to face, navigate, and conquer her fears"--
