She\u2019s never even been kissed. And it\u2019s not just because she\u2019s gay. It\u2019s because she and her two best friends, Maritza and JaKory, spend more time in her basement watching Netflix than engaging with the outside world.<br \/>\nSo when Maritza and JaKory suggest crashing a party, Codi is highly skeptical. Those parties aren\u2019t for kids like them. They\u2019re for cool kids. Straight kids.<br \/>\nBut then Codi stumbles upon one of those cool kids, Ricky, kissing another boy in the dark, and an unexpected friendship is formed. In return for never talking about that kiss, Ricky takes Codi under his wing and draws her into a wild summer filled with late nights, new experiences, and one really cute girl named Lydia.<br \/>\nThe only problem? Codi never tells Maritza or JaKory about any of it.<br \/>\nFrom author Kelly Quindlen comes a poignant and deeply relatable story about friendship, self-acceptance, what it means to be a Real Teenager.

Her great-grandfather was an early English settler and the first deaf islander. Now, over a hundred years later, many people there - including Mary - are deaf, and nearly everyone can communicate in sign language. Mary has never felt isolated. She is proud of her lineage.<br \/>\nBut recent events have delivered winds of change. Mary's brother died, leaving her family shattered. Tensions over land disputes are mounting between English settlers and the Wampanoag people. And a cunning young scientist has arrived, hoping to discover the origin of the island's prevalent deafness. His maniacal drive to find answers soon renders Mary a \"live specimen\" in a cruel experiment. Her struggle to save herself is at the core of this penetrating and poignant novel that probes our perceptions of ability and disability.

One election. All the drama.<br \/>\nFor fans of Becky Albertalli and Morgan Matson comes a funny, hearfelt novel about fueding exes running for class president and the scandal that makes the previously boring school election the newest trending hashtag.<\/b><br \/>\nAt Acedia High School outside of Boston, student council has always been nothing more than a popularity contest. Nobody pays attention. Nobody cares.<br \/>\nBut all that changes when the Frankengirls show up. During the very first week of school, someone plasters the halls with Photoshopped images of three \"perfect tens\"--images of scantily clad girls made from real photos of girls at school. The student body is livid. And the two presidential candidates, Angeline Quinn and Leo Torres, jump on the opportunity to propose their solutions and secure votes. After their messy break up, Leo and Angie are fighting tooth and nail to win this thing and their constituents are mesmerized as they duke it out.<br \/>\nAs if things couldn't be more dramatic, the school's two newspapers get involved. The Red &amp; Blue is run by Angie's sister Cat and she prides herself on only reporting the facts. But her morals are tested when The Shrieking Violet--written by an anonymous source and based less on facts and more on fiction--blatantly endorses Leo. Rumors fly, secrets are leaked, and the previously mundane student election becomes anything but boring.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2020-02-04T05:00:14+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"Happy Tuesday!\\r\\n\\r\\nTop Ten Tuesday\\u00a0is a Bookish Meme hosted by\\u00a0That Artsy Reader Girl, and this week's theme is BOOKS I PREDICT WILL BE 5 STAR READS!\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nOops!

She stopped letting people get that close to her with a tape measure a while ago.<br \/>\nEver since everything changed the summer before ninth grade, Greer has felt out of control. She can't control her first impressions, the whispers that follow, or the stares that linger after. The best she can do is put on her faithful XXL sweatshirt and let her posture--and her expectations for other people--slump.<br \/>\nBut people\u2014strangers and friends\u2014seem strangely determined to remind her that life is not supposed to be this way. Despite carefully avoiding physical contact and anything tighter than a puffy coat, Greer finds an unexpected community on the volleyball squad, the team that hugs between every point and wears a uniform \"so tight it can squeeze out tears.\" And then there's Jackson Oates, newly arrived at her school and maybe actually more interested in her banter than her breasts.<br \/>\nLaura Zimmermann's debut is both laugh-out-loud funny and beautifully blunt, vulnerable and witty, heartbreaking and hopeful.
