Another pulse-pounding and laugh-out-loud stand-alone mystery from New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson.<br \/>\nSenior year at Ellingham Academy for Stevie Bell isn\u2019t going well. Her boyfriend, David, is studying in London. Her friends are obsessed with college applications. With the cold case of the century solved, Stevie is adrift. There is nothing to distract her from the questions pinging around her brain\u2014questions about college, love, and life in general.<br \/>\nRelief comes when David invites Stevie and her friends to join him for study abroad, and his new friend Izzy introduces her to a double-murder cold case. In 1995, nine friends from Cambridge University went to a country house and played a drunken game of hide-and-seek. Two were found in the woodshed the next day, murdered with an ax.<br \/>\nThe case was assumed to be a burglary gone wrong, but one of the remaining seven saw something she can\u2019t explain. This was no break-in. Someone\u2019s lying about what happened in the woodshed.<br \/>\nSeven suspects. Two murders. One killer still playing a deadly game.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2022-05-10T04:00:00+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\nHappy Tuesday!\\n\\n\\n\\nTop Ten Tuesday&nbsp;is a Bookish Meme hosted by&nbsp;That Artsy Reader Girl, and this week's theme is TOP TEN BOOKISH CHARACTERS!

But honestly, she\u2019s running against Gerald Thomas, a rigid rule-follower whose platform includes reinstating a dress code- there\u2019s no way she can lose. And she better not, or she\u2019ll never get into NYU.<br \/>\nBut then, a real-life international incident turns the election upside down. Iran suddenly dominates the nightly news, and her opponent seizes the opportunity to stir up anti-Iranian hysteria at school and turn the electorate against her. Her brother, Ali, is no help. He\u2019s become an outspoken advocate for Iran just as she\u2019s trying to downplay her heritage.<br \/>\nNow, as the white lie she told snowballs into an avalanche, Jasmine is stuck between claiming her heritage or hiding it, standing by her outspoken brother or turning her back on him, winning the election or abandoning her dreams for good.<br \/>\nTold with biting insight and fierce humor, Susan Azim Boyer's <i>Jasmine Zumideh Needs a Win<\/i> is a fresh, unforgettable story of one Iranian-American young woman\u2019s experience navigating her identity, friendship, family, her future, and a budding romance, all set against life-changing historical events with present-day relevance.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2022-05-10T04:00:00+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\nHappy Tuesday!\\n\\n\\n\\nTop Ten Tuesday&nbsp;is a Bookish Meme hosted by&nbsp;That Artsy Reader Girl, and this week's theme is TOP TEN BOOKISH CHARACTERS!

This YA debut is equal parts broken-hearted love story, epic myth retelling, and a world-journey romp to find home.<\/b><br \/>\nSy is a timid seventeen-year-old queer Indian-Muslim boy who placed all his bets at happiness on his boyfriend Farouk...who then left him to try and \"fix the world.\" Sy was too chicken to take the plunge and travel with him and is now stuck in a dead-end coffee shop job. All Sy can do is wish for another chance.... Although he never expects his wish to be granted.<br \/>\nWhen a mysterious girl slams into (and slides down, streaks of make-up in her wake) the front entrance of the coffee shop, Sy helps her up and on her way. But then the girl offers him three wishes in exchange for his help, and after proving she can grant at least one wish with a funds transfer of a million dollars into Sy's pitifully struggling bank account, a whole new world of possibility opens up. Is she magic? Or just rich? And when his father kicks him out after he is outed, does Sy have the courage to make his way from L. A., across the Atlantic Ocean, to lands he'd never even dreamed he could ever visit? Led by his potentially otherworldly new friend, can he track down his missing Farouk for one last, desperate chance at rebuilding his life and re-finding love?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2022-05-10T04:00:00+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\nHappy Tuesday!\\n\\n\\n\\nTop Ten Tuesday&nbsp;is a Bookish Meme hosted by&nbsp;That Artsy Reader Girl, and this week's theme is TOP TEN BOOKISH CHARACTERS!
