Showing results for "Anna" in Coming of Age

Ellie’s Deaf boarding school just shut down, forcing her to leave the place she considered home and return to her hearing family. But being mainstreamed into public school isn't exactly easy. So her guidance counselor pairs her with Jackson, a student who’s supposed to help her adjust. Can the boy who tries to say the right things, and gets it all wrong, be the lifeline Ellie needs?

Alice is on her own for the first time. She has no coach. No friends. Not even clothes that meet the Bastille Invitational’s strict dress code.

But will a win on court justify the price she paid to get here?

Ever since the Switch, when the oxygen levels plummeted and most of humanity died, the survivors have been protected in glass domes full of manufactured air. Protected…or trapped? Or controlled? Alina's a revolutionary who believes we can save the environment. Quinn's a Premium who's never had to worry about having enough air. His best friend, Bea, is an Auxiliary who's never worried about anything but having enough air. When the three cross paths, they will change everything.

Lilah is stuck in the middle. At least, that’s what having a hearing loss seems like sometimes—when you don’t feel “deaf enough” to identify as Deaf or hearing enough to meet the world’s expectations. But this summer, Lilah is ready for a change. When Lilah becomes a counselor at a summer camp for the deaf and blind, her plan is to brush up on her ASL. Once there, she also finds a community. There are cute British lifeguards who break hearts but not rules, a YouTuber who’s just a bit desperate for clout, the campers Lilah’s responsible for (and overwhelmed by)—and then there’s Isaac.

Seventeen-year-old vegan feminist Ellen Lopez-Rourke has one muggy Houston summer left before college.

But when Ellen is grounded for the entire summer by her (sometimes) evil stepmother, all her plans are thrown out the window.

Vera has a nagging feeling that she's forgetting something. Not her keys or her homework-something bigger. Or someone. When she discovers her best friend Riven is experiencing the same strange feeling, they set out on a mission to uncover what's going on. Everyone in Vera's world has a special ability-a little bit of magic that helps them through the day. Perhaps someone's ability is interfering with their memory? Or is something altering their very reality?

As much as Anna would like to live in harmony, a new danger looms in her second year at the Quentin Academy. Lorenzo, Anna's new classmate and friend, recently arrived from Italy with his grandmother. But, Lorenzo's older twin brothers are also studying at the academy, and something about their strange behavior puts Anna on alert. Soon, the inexplicable death of a harmless creature destroys the balance in Anna's peaceful world.

Anna ha quindici anni, vive a Milano e vorrebbe fare la giornalista. Nel suo diario ha scritto una frase di un articolo della Politkovskaja pubblicato poco prima che fosse assassinata: "Non sono un vero animale politico. Non ho aderito a nessun partito perché lo considero un errore per un giornalista, almeno in Russia. Quale crimine ho commesso per essere bollata come 'una contro di noi'? Mi sono limitata a riferire i fatti di cui sono stata testimone. Ho scritto e, più raramente, ho parlato".

June Chu is the “just good enough” girl. Good enough to line the shelves with a slew of third-place trophies and steal secret kisses from her AP bio partner, Rhys. But not good enough to meet literally any of her Taiwanese mother’s unrelenting expectations or to get Rhys to commit to anything beyond a well-timed joke. While June’s mother insists she follow in her (perfect) sister’s footsteps and get a (full-ride) violin scholarship to Northwestern (to study pre-med), June doesn’t see the point in trying too hard if she’s destined to fall short anyway.
