Bestselling author of Scythe and Challenger Deep Neal Shusterman, here with coauthors Debra Young and Michelle Knowlden, tells an intense yet tender story of two teens, trapped in impossible circumstances and unjust systems, willing to risk everything for love—no matter the consequences. Adriana knows that if she can manage to keep her head down for the next seven months, she might be able to get through her sentence in the Compass juvenile detention center. Thankfully, she’s allowed to keep her journal, where she writes down her most private thoughts when her feelings get too big. Until the day she opens her journal and discovers that her thoughts are no longer so private. Someone has read her writings—and has written back. A boy who lives on the other side of the gender-divided detention center. A boy who sparks a fire in her to write back. Jon’s story is different than Adriana’s; he’s already been at Compass for years and will be in the system for years to come. Still, when he reads the words Adriana writes to him, it makes him feel like the walls that hold them in have melted away. This fast-paced, highly compelling tour de force novel exposes what life is like in detention—and reveals the hearts of two teens who are forced to live in desperate circumstances. Young adult.- Subjects: Electronic books.; Contemporary; Emotions & Feelings; Violence; Law & Crime; Loners & Outcasts;

Three teens investigate a murder--while each tries to hide their own complicated history with the dead girl--in this thought-provoking novel from award-winning author Pamela N. Harris. Perfect for fans of Karen M. McManus and Tiffany D. Jackson! Hope Jackson is dead. Everyone is convinced she took her own life, but Liv, one of Hope's best friends, isn't so sure. Hope's boyfriend, Brendan, was always jealous and possessive, and his alibi doesn't really check out. But in the town's eyes, Hope was just some nobody who was going to drag down golden boy Brendan. So with the help of Hope's other two best friends, Kizzie and Sherie, Liv is determined to bring Brendan's actions to light. Together, they vow to make him pay. But as their plans keep escalating, Liv begins to have second thoughts--especially as she's realizing that Brendan may not be the only one with the motive or opportunity to kill Hope. Is Liv really getting justice for Hope, or is she just helping one of Hope's so-called friends cover up their lies?Library Bound Incorporated- Subjects: YOUNG ADULT FICTION / Law & Crime *; YOUNG ADULT FICTION / Mysteries & Detective Stories *; YOUNG ADULT FICTION / Social Themes / Class Differences; YOUNG ADULT FICTION / Social Themes / Class Differences *; YOUNG ADULT FICTION / Social Themes / Death, Grief, Bereavement; YOUNG ADULT FICTION / Social Themes / Emotions & Feelings *; YOUNG ADULT FICTION / Social Themes / Friendship; YOUNG ADULT FICTION / Social Themes / Friendship *; YOUNG ADULT FICTION / Social Themes/Physical & Emotional Abuse (see also Social Themes/Sexual Abuse) *; YOUNG ADULT FICTION / Social Themes / Prejudice & Racism; YOUNG ADULT FICTION / Social Themes / Prejudice & Racism *; YOUNG ADULT FICTION / Social Themes / Violence *; YOUNG ADULT FICTION / Thrillers & Suspense / Crime;
