  Praise for Laurie Boyle Crompton:

  “Laurie Boyle Crompton’s blend of snark and heart will keep you turning the pages.” —Mandy Hubbard, author of Prada and Prejudice

  “One of the most relatable anti-love stories we’ve come across in a while.” —Seventeen on Blaze, or Love in the Time of Supervillains

  “Funny, cringe-worthy and heartbreaking. Don’t miss out.” —RT Book Reviews, 4 ½ stars

  The Summer of Skinny Dipping

  Amanda Howells

  After getting dumped by her boyfriend, sixteen-year-old Mia Gordon is looking forward to spending the summer in the Hamptons with her glamorous cousins. But when she arrives, her cousins are distant, moody, and caught up with a fast crowd.

  That’s when she meets Simon Ross. Simon isn’t like the snobby party boys her cousins seem obsessed with; he’s funny, artistic, and utterly adventurous. And from the very first time he encourages Mia to go skinny-dipping, she’s caught up in a current that’s impossible to resist.

  Praise for The Summer of Skinny Dipping:

  “The romance is filled with similarities and allusions to The Great Gatsby, and readers of the American classic will predict the tearjerker ending.” —Kirkus

  “A deep, realistic exploration into first love and, yes, even loss.” —RT Book Reviews

  SEND

  Patty Blount

  All Daniel Ellison wants is to be invisible.

  It’s been five years since he clicked Send, five years since his life made sense. Now he has a second chance in a new town where nobody knows who he is. Or what he’s done. But on his first day at school, Dan sees a kid being picked on. And instead of turning away like everyone else, he breaks it up. Because Dan knows what it’s like to be terrorized by a bully—he used to be one.

  Now the whole school thinks he’s some kind of hero—except Julie Murphy. She looks at him like she knows he has a secret. Like she knows his name isn’t really Daniel.

  Praise for SEND:

  “Blount’s debut novel combines an authentic voice with compelling moral dilemmas…Raise[s] important questions about honesty, forgiveness, the ease of cyberbullying, and the obligation to help others.” —VOYA

  “Emotional, dark, and real, Send will not disappoint…Fans of Katie McGarry’s Pushing the Limits will thoroughly enjoy this contemporary novel.” —Singing and Reading in the Rain
