Una vida sin amor es una vida sin sufrimiento: segura, medida, predecible y feliz. Por eso cuando los habitantes de esta ciudad del siglo XXII cumplen los 18 años, se someten a la intervención, que consiste en la extracción de la parte del cerebro que controla las emociones. Lena espera ese momento con impaciencia, hasta que un día se enamora... A nadie le gusta estar enfermo. Afortunadamente, en el siglo XXII los científicos han encontrado la cura para la pandemia que, durante milenios, asoló el planeta. Un delirio que se contagiaba más rápido que cualquier otra enfermedad, afectando a cientos cada día, y a millones al cabo del año. Era tan grave que, encontrada la cura, el gobierno decretó su administración a todos los ciudadanos, a partir de la mayoría de edad. Lena Holoway está emocionada. Lleva años esperando cumplir los 18. Por fin recibirá la cura, por fin vivirá sin dolor, de un modo predecible y feliz. Por fin hay cura para esa enfermedad llamada amor.
Han tratado de acabar con nosotros. Pero todavía estamos aquí. Y cada día somos más. Quizá tengan razón y nuestros sentimientos nos vuelven locos. Tal vez el amor es una enfermedad de la que tendríamos que curarnos. Sin embargo, hemos elegido un camino diferente. Y al final, esa es la mejor cura: ser libres para elegir. Ser libres para elegir... aunque sea equivocadamente.
Welcome back to the Dime Museum, home to the freaks, wonders and oddities that
live there. But beware, fans of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate
Events may never want to leave...
Four orphans are shocked when their beloved friend, sculptor Siegfried Eckleberger, is murdered. As they investigate, they find clues that his death may be tied to the murder of a rich New York heiress as well as to their own past.
For the first time, Lauren Oliver's short stories about characters in the Delirium world appear in print. Originally published as digital novellas, Hana, Annabel, and Raven each center around a fascinating and complex character who adds important information to the series and gives it greater depth. This collection also includes an excerpt from Requiem, the final novel in Oliver's New York Times bestselling series. Hana is told through the perspective of Lena's best friend, Hana Tate. Set during the tumultuous summer before Lena and Hana are supposed to be cured, this story is a poignant and revealing look at a moment when the girls' paths diverge and their futures are altered forever. Lena's mother, Annabel, has always been a mystery—a ghost from Lena's past—until now. Her journey from teenage runaway to prisoner of the state is a taut, gripping narrative that expands the Delirium world and illuminates events—and Lena—through a new point of view. And as the passionate, fierce leader of a rebel group in the Wilds, Raven plays an integral role in the resistance effort and comes into Lena's life at a crucial time. Crackling with intensity, Raven is a brilliant story told in the voice of one of the strongest and most tenacious characters in the Delirium world.

Her only friends are the shadows and the mice - until one night a ghost appears from the darkness. It is Po, who comes from the Other Side. Both Liesl and Po are lonely, but together they are less alone. That same night, an alchemist's apprentice, Will, bungles an important delivery. He accidentally switches a box containing the most powerful magic in the world with one containing something decidedly less remarkable.

The book is about, among other things: the strongest boy in the world, a talking cockatoo, a faulty mind reader, a beautiful bearded lady and a nervous magician, an old museum, and a shrunken head. Blessed with extraordinary abilities, orphans Philippa, Sam, and Thomas have grown up happily in Dumfrey's Dime Museum of Freaks, Oddities, and Wonders. Philippa is a powerful mentalist, Sam is the world's strongest boy, and Thomas can squeeze himself into a space no bigger than a bread box. The children live happily with museum owner Mr. Dumfrey, alongside other misfits. But when a fourth child, Max, a knife-thrower, joins the group, it sets off an unforgettable chain of events. When the museum's Amazonian shrunken head is stolen, the four are determined to get it back. But their search leads them to a series of murders and an explosive secret about their pasts.

Like its ambitious companion novel, Replica, this far-reaching novel by the powerhouse author of Before I Fall and the Delirium trilogy digs deep into questions of how to be a human being in a world where humanity cannot be taken for granted. In the world outside of the Haven Institute, Lyra and Caelum are finding it hard to be human—and Lyra, infected at Haven with a terrible disease, finds her symptoms are growing worse. When Caelum leaves without warning, Lyra follows him, seeking a pioneering organization in Philadelphia that might have a cure. But what they uncover there is a shocking connection to their past, even as their future seems in danger of collapsing. Though Gemma just wants to go back to her normal life after Haven, she soon learns that her powerful father has other plans for the replicas—unless she and her boyfriend Pete can stop him. But they soon learn that they aren’t safe either. The Haven Institute wasn’t destroyed after all, and now Gemma is the one behind the walls. Bestselling author Lauren Oliver brings the Replica duology to a shocking close in Ringer, but like both Gemma and Lyra, you won’t be able to leave the world of Haven behind after you’ve turned the last page.
Two girls, two stories, one epic novel—now a New York Times bestseller! From Lauren Oliver, acclaimed author of Before I Fall and the Delirium trilogy, comes a masterful exploration of individuality, identity, and humanity. This "flip book" features two narratives: turn it one way for Lyra’s story, and the other for Gemma’s. The narratives can be read separately, sequentially, or in alternating chapters, creating an unforgettable journey. The innovative jacket enhances the reading experience.
Lyra’s tale unfolds at the Haven Institute, a seemingly serene facility on a private Florida island, which hides a darker reality. Here, replicas—human models—are created and studied. When a surprise attack occurs, Lyra and another subject, known only as 72, manage to escape. Meanwhile, Gemma, a lonely teen frequently in and out of hospitals, begins to uncover her family's past after a near-abduction by a stranger claiming to know her. Her investigation leads her to Haven, where she encounters Lyra and unravels a web of secrets.
While the narratives of Lyra and Gemma reflect each other, each reveals critical revelations that deepen the other’s story. This ambitious novel is a thought-provoking masterwork.
