Laurie Halse Anderson - Prom
Philadelphia ​high school who doesn't care about the prom. It's pretty much the only good thing that happens there, and everyone plans to make the most of it--especially Ash's best friend, Natalia, who's the head of the committee and has prom stars in her eyes. Then the faculty advisor is busted for taking the prom money and Ash finds herself roped into putting together a gala dance. But she has plenty of help--from her large and loving (if exasperating!) family, from Nat's eccentric grandmother, from the principal, from her fellow classmates. And in making the prom happen, Ash learns some surprising things about making her life happen, too.

Laurie Halse Anderson - Shout
Bestselling ​author Laurie Halse Anderson is known for the unflinching way she writes about, and advocates for, survivors of sexual assault. Now, inspired by her fans and enraged by how little in our culture has changed since her groundbreaking novel Speak was first published twenty years ago, she has written a poetry memoir that is as vulnerable as it is rallying, as timely as it is timeless. In free verse, Anderson shares reflections, rants, and calls to action woven between deeply personal stories from her life that she's never written about before. Searing and soul-searching, this important memoir is a denouncement of our society's failures and a love letter to all the people with the courage to say #metoo and #timesup, whether aloud, online, or only in their own hearts. Shout speaks truth to power in a loud, clear voice-- and once you hear it, it is impossible to ignore.

Laurie Halse Anderson - Jégviráglányok
_– ​Halott lány közeledik – mondják a fiúk a folyosón._ _– Áruld el a titkodat! - suttogják a lányok egyik vécéből a másikba._ _Én vagyok az a lány._ _A combjaim közötti hézag, a hézagon átsütő fény vagyok._ _Porcelán keretre drótozott csontváz vagyok, az, amit ők akarnak._ Lia és Cassie, a piszkafa testbe fagyott jégviráglányok, valamikor a legjobb barátnők voltak. Ám Cassie meghalt, Lia anyját lefoglalja a mások életének megmentése, apja nincs otthon, mert az ügyeit intézi, a mostohaanyjának fogalma sincs, Lia fejében pedig egyre mondja a hang, hogy te parancsolsz, maradj erős, adj le még többet, nyomjál még kevesebbet. Ha így folytatja – vékony, vékonyabb, legvékonyabb – egyszer talán eltűnhet mindenestül. Ebben a regényben, amely Laurie Halse Anderson legmegrázóbb alkotása a Nemzeti Könyvdíjat elnyert Hadd mondjam el óta, az író egy lányt kísér el a hátborzongató alászállásra az anorexia mindent megemésztő bugyraiba.

Chemistry ​honors student and cross-country runner Kate Malone is driven. Daughter of a father who is a reverend first and a parent second ("Rev. Dad [Version 4.7] is a faulty operating system, incompatible with my software.") and a dead mother she tries not to remember, Kate has one goal: To escape them both by gaining entrance to her own holy temple, MIT. Eschewing sleep, she runs endlessly every night waiting for the sacred college acceptance letter. Then two disasters occur: Sullen classmate Teri and her younger brother, Mikey, take over Kate's room when their own house burns down, and a too-thin letter comes from MIT, signifying denial. And so the experiment begins. Can crude Teri and sweet Mikey, combined with the rejection letter, form the catalyst that will shake Kate out of her selfish tunnel vision and force her to deal with the suppressed pain of her mom's death? "If I could run all the time, life would be fine. As long as I keep moving, I'm in control." But for Kate, it's time to stop running and face the feelings she's spent her whole life racing away from.
