It's no wonder John writes articles like Interview with the Stepfather and Memoirs from Hell. The only release he finds is in homemade zines like the amazing Escape Velocity by Marisol, a self-proclaimed Puerto Rican Cuban Yankee Lesbian. Haning around the Boston Tower Records for the new issue of Escape Velocity, John meets Marisol and a hard love is born.While at first their friendship is based on zines, dysfuntional families, and dreams of escape, soon both John and Marisol begin to shed their protective shells. Unfortunately, John mistakes this growing intimacy for love, and a disastrous date to his junior prom leaves that friendship in ruins. Desperately hoping to fix things, John convinces Marisol to come with him to a zine conference on Cape Cod. On the sandy beaches by the Bluefish Wharf Inn, John realizes just how hard love can be.With keen insight into teenage life, Ellen Wittlinger delivers a story of adolescence that is fierce and funny — and ultimately transforming — even as it explores the pain of growing up.Publishers WeeklyPW said of this novel about the complex friendship between high school friends, The awkwardness of awakening sexuality, a growing preoccupation with identity and crossing the line from friendship to more are themes here with which teens will readily identify.

| 9780786837878 | Peter and the Shadow Thieves | Barry, Dave, Pearson, Ridley | In this riveting and adventure-packed follow-up to the award-winning New York Times bestseller Peter and the Starcatchers, Peter leaves the relative safety of Mollusk Island - along with his trusted companion, Tinker Bell - for the cold, damp, dangerous streets of London. On a difficult journey across the sea, he and Tink discover the dark and deadly slithering part-man/part-creature Lord Ombra, who is intent on recovering the missing starstuff - celestial dust that contains unimagined powers. In London, Peter attempts to track down the indomitable Molly, hoping that together they can combat Ombra's determined forces. But London is not Mollusk Island; Peter is not the boy he used to be; and Lord Ombra - the Shadow Master - is unlike anything Peter, or the world, has ever seen.Child MagazineLast seen in the bestselling Peter and the Starcatchers, Peter Pan and friends return for another rollicking adventure. This time, the action moves from Mollusk Island (Never Land, for the uninitiated) to cold, dangerous London, where Peter's friend Molly is in grave danger. A mysterious, caped evildoer, Lord Ombra, is hunting Molly and her family for their trunk full of starstuff (the fairy dust that makes people fly, among other things). Can Peter and Tinker Bell reach Molly before Lord Ombra does? Tinged with humor, each action-packed chapter makes a compelling read-aloud for younger kids and an addictive page-turner for independent readers.
