my sister s keeper all the truth that by jodi picoult in
TRANSCRIPT
Liz has always believed she’s too black, too poor,
too awkward to shine in her small, rich, prom-
obsessed town. But Liz has an escape plan to attend
an uber-elite college, play in their world-famous
orchestra, and become a doctor. But when the finan-
cial aid she was counting on unexpectedly falls
through, Liz’s plans come crashing down . . . until
she’s reminded of her school’s scholarship for prom
king and queen. There’s nothing Liz wants to do less
than endure a gauntlet of social media trolls, catty
competitors, and humiliating public events, but de-
spite her devastating fear of the spotlight she’s willing
to do whatever it takes to get to college. The only
thing that makes it halfway bearable is the new girl in
school, Mack. She’s smart, funny, and just as much of
an outsider as Liz. But Mack is also in the running for
queen. Will falling for the competition keep Liz from
her dreams . . . or make them come true?

new kidney, she begins to question
how much she should be prepared to
do to save the older sibling she has
always been defined by. So Anna

and feelings to the love of her life, the boy who's
owned her heart as long as she can remember -
even if he doesn't know it - her childhood friend,
Lucas. But when Roswell Station is attacked by
enemies, long-buried secrets come to light . . .
and Judith's world starts to shift on its axis.
Before she knows it, Judith is forced to choose:
continue to live in silence, or recover her voice,

world, and the lives around her, forever.

es - but he dreams of a better life. They've
been friends since they were children, and
they both know that's as far as it can ever go.
Noughts and Crosses are fated to be bitter
enemies - love is out of the question. Then - in

Can you love someone you can never touch? Stella Grant
likes to be in control - even though her totally out of
control lungs have sent her in and out of the hospital
most of her life. At this point, what Stella needs to con-
trol most is keeping herself away from anyone or any-
thing that might pass along an infection and jeopardize
the possibility of a lung transplant. Six feet apart. No
exceptions. The only thing Will Newman wants to be in
control of is getting out of this hospital. He couldn't care
less about his treatments, or a fancy new clinical drug
trial. Soon, he'll turn eighteen and then he'll be able to
unplug all these machines and actually go see the world,
not just its hospitals. Will's exactly what Stella needs to
stay away from. If he so much as breathes on Stella she
could lose her spot on the transplant list. Either one of
them could die. The only way to stay alive is to stay apart.
But suddenly six feet doesn't feel like safety. It feels like
punishment. What if they could steal back just a little bit
of the space their broken lungs have stolen from them?
Would five feet apart really be so dangerous if it stops
their hearts from breaking too?
