      Todo todo es una novela sobre la emoción y la angustia que supone abrir nuestro corazón a otra persona, sobre esa sensación tan única que nos hace sentir mariposas en el estómago y sobre las locuras que cualquiera de nosotros podría cometer... por amor. Madeline Whittier es alérgica al mundo exterior. Tan alérgica, de hecho, que no ha salido de su casa en 17 años. Aún así, su vida transcurre feliz y tranquila hasta que el chico de ojos azules como el Atlántico se muda a la casa de al lado. El flechazo surge por mensajería instantánea y va creciendo y complicándose a través de un sinfín de conversaciones, anhelos, viñetas, sensaciones, ilustraciones, sueños... Y es que resulta difícil volver a la rutina de siempre con todos los ruidos que llegan de fuera. De repente, Maddy es consciente del cotilleo de los pájaros y de los rayos de sol que se cuelan por sus contraventanas. Y cuanto más trata de separarse del mundo exterior, más empeñado parece en entrar... ¿Qué tendrá Olly que lo hace tan impredecible? ¿Y tan... especial? ¿Qué tendrá Olly para hacer que la realidad de Madeline se tambalee?

      The #1 New York Times bestseller and National Book Award finalist from the bestselling author of Everything, Everything will have you falling in love with Natasha and Daniel as they fall in love with each other! Natasha: I'm a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. I'm definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when my family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won't be my story. Daniel: I've always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents' high expectations. Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when I see her, I forget about all that. Something about Natasha makes me think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store--for both of us. The Universe: Every moment in our lives has brought us to this single moment. A million futures lie before us. Which one will come true? *** Beautifully crafted. -- People A book that is very much about the many factors that affect falling in love, as much as it is about the very act itself. . . . Fans of Yoon's first novel, Everything Everything , will find much to love --if not, more--in what is easily an even stronger follow up. -- Entertainment Weekly Transcends the limits of YA as a human story about falling in love and seeking out our futures. --POPSUGAR.com

Jasmyn’s only friends in the community are equally perplexed and frustrated by most residents' outlook. Then Jasmyn discovers a terrible secret about Liberty and its founders. Frustration turns to dread as their loved ones start embracing the Liberty way of life. Will the truth destroy her world in ways she never could have imagined? Thrilling with insightful social commentary, One of Our Kind explores the ways in which freedom is complicated by the presumptions we make about ourselves and each other.

    • #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "A haunting, beautiful, and necessary book."—Nicola Yoon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Everything, Everything Charlotte Davis is in pieces. At seventeen she’s already lost more than most people do in a lifetime. But she’s learned how to forget. The broken glass washes away the sorrow until there is nothing but calm. You don’t have to think about your father and the river. Your best friend, who is gone forever. Or your mother, who has nothing left to give you. Every new scar hardens Charlie’s heart just a little more, yet it still hurts so much. It hurts enough to not care anymore, which is sometimes what has to happen before you can find your way back from the edge. A deeply moving portrait of a girl in a world that owes her nothing, and has taken so much, and the journey she undergoes to put herself back together. Kathleen Glasgow's debut is heartbreakingly real and unflinchingly honest. It’s a story you won’t be able to look away from. And don’t miss Kathleen Glasgow's novels You’d Be Home Now and How to Make Friends with the Dark, both raw and powerful stories of life.
