YA
Childhood friends and neighbors Max and Aggi had just confessed their love for each other when their older siblings died tragically. Now, a year later, their families are feuding, and their relationship has dissolved. This lyrical novel realistically conveys Max's and Aggi's guilt about what happened, their sense of loss, and their deep connection to each other.

YA
High-school senior Linden Rose is trying to keep up with schoolwork, extracurricular activities, and scholarship-hunting while hiding a huge secret: she's become homeless and lives at her school. Linden's valiant efforts to avoid the stigma of homelessness and make a future for herself are heartwrenching and affecting, but her story suffers from predictable plot turns and a too-perfect conclusion.
