I Was a Teenage Fairy

La série jeunes adultes culte aux Etats-Unis, bientôt au cinéma ! Weetzie est un petit brin de fille qui a grandi avec sa mère, starlette alcoolique, et son père, scénariste junkie, dans le Los Angeles des années 1980. Pour trouver l'amour, Weetzie fait équipe avec Dirk, son meilleur ami. Cette quête les mènera jusqu'à un réalisateur qui ne quitte jamais son imper, le mystérieux Max, et à un surfeur aux cheveux platine, Duck. Mais, déstabilisée par des événements tragiques et menacée par l'ex aigrie (et un peu sorcière sur les bords) de Max, Weetzie devra retirer les lunettes qui lui font voir la vie en rose pour se confronter à la noirceur du monde et découvrir la recette du bonheur...

Weetzie Bat

Powerful, riveting, and real. Sixteen celebrated authors bring us raw, insightful stories that explore guns and teens in a fiction collection that is thought provoking and emotionally gripping. For fans of Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock and Give a Boy a Gun, and with an array of YA talent like the late great Walter Dean Myers, the poetic Joyce Carol Oates, the prophetic Elizabeth Wein, and the gritty Chris Crutcher, these are evocative voices that each has a different perspective to give. Capturing the hurt and the healing, victims and perpetrators, these stories get to the heart of the matter. From a boy whose low self-esteem is impacted when a gun comes into his possession to a student recalling a senseless tragedy that befell a favorite teacher, from a realistic look at hunting to a provocative look at a family that defies stereotypes, each emotional story stirs the debate to new levels. The juxtaposition of guns and their consequences offers moving tales, each a reminder of how crucial the question of guns in our society is, and the impact they have on all of us. Other acclaimed contributors are Marc Aronson, Edward Averett, Francesca Lia Block, Alex Flinn, Gregory Galloway, Jenny Hubbard, Peter Johnson, Ron Koertge, Chris Lynch, Eric Shanower, Will Weaver, and Tim Wynne-Jones.

Guarding the Moon - A Mother's First Year

When you were a baby I sat very still to hold you. I could see the veins through your skin like a map to inside you. I stopped breathing so you wouldn't ... You were just a boy on a bed in a room, like a kaleidoscope is a tube full of bits of broken glass. But the way I saw you was pieces refracting the light, shifting into an infinite universe of flowers and rainbows and insects and planets, magical dividing cells, pictures no one else knew ... Your whole life you can be told something is wrong and so you believe it.
