Take It from the Top by Claire Swinarski
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.4 Mb
Overview: Set at a camp over the course of six summers, this novel dives into the falling-out of two girls from different backgrounds who thought they’d be friends forever. Claire Swinarski, Edgar Award nominee of the ALA Notable What Happened to Rachel Riley?, tackles privilege, perspective, and the power of friendship in this page-turning puzzle that readers will devour.
Eowyn Becker has waited all year to attend her sixth summer at Lamplighter Lake Summer Camp. Here, she’s not in the shadow of her Broadway-star older brother; she’s a stellar performer in her own right. Here, the pain of her mom’s death can’t reach her, and she gets to reunite with her best friend, Jules Marrigan—the only person in the world who understands her.
But when she gets to camp, everything seems wrong. The best-friend reunion Eowyn had been dreaming of doesn’t go as planned. Jules will barely even look at Eowyn, let alone talk to her, and Eowyn has no idea why.
Well, maybe she does…
There are two sides to every story, and if you want to understand this one, you’ll need to hear both. Told in a series of alternating chapters that dip back to past summers, the girls’ story will soon reveal how Eowyn and Jules went from being best friends to fierce foils. Can they mend ways before the curtains close on what was supposed to be the best summer of their lives?

Not only did Mimi’s family raise Tanvi after the tragic death of her parents, fierce Mimi has always protected Tanvi at school.

Tanvi begins to fill the gaps in her memory and question Mimi’s friends and enemies, hoping to bring her cousin home. But when new evidence comes to light, the search for Mimi takes a dark turn as the cops announce that they are now hunting a murderer. Could Tanvi be the killer?

To save her family, Tanvi must revisit the worst night of her life and the darkest parts of her past to discover if she’s capable of murder—and the truth of what happened to Mimi.

Requirements: .ePUB reader, 484 Kb
Overview: Two hundred years trapped in this castle, alone and miserable, without a single person to love or even to love such a hideous thing as I. I’ve been left here without a single memory of who I am, except that I was cruelly created in a lab by the Doctor, my Maker, my father, to only replace the son he lost many years ago. I’ve been trapped in this 17-year old body ever since, condemned to rot away in this castle.

But then a family finds their way here, a family whose lineage traces back to the original owner of the castle. Amongst the family is a fellow 17-year-old boy, Collin—a boy who I can’t help but find myself drawn to—to love, to eat, I’m not sure. Collin quickly senses my presence, the monster of the castle, lurking behind his bedroom wall, watching him through subtle cracks in the foundation. I’m not alone anymore. The Doctor’s Failed Experiments have begun to appear. It is these three creatures who know the secret of the castle, and of the secret of the Doctor’s first experiment—the one who has sworn to return to take vengeance on all those who rest in the castle—the true Monster of Chateau Du Coeur.

We’re all in danger.
