The Beginning of Everything (9780062217141)

Robyn Schneider's The Beginning of Everything is a witty and heart-wrenching teen novel that will appeal to fans of books by John Green and Ned Vizzini, novels such as The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and classics like The Great Gatsby and The Catcher in the Rye. Varsity tennis captain Ezra Faulkner was supposed to be homecoming king, but that was before--before his girlfriend cheated on him, before a car accident shattered his leg, and before he fell in love with unpredictable new girl Cassidy Thorpe.

Here are teens who could easily trade barbs and double entendres with the characters that fill John Green's novels. Funny, smart, and including everything from flash mobs to blanket forts to a poodle who just might be the reincarnation of Jay Gatsby, The Beginning of Everything is a refreshing contemporary twist on the classic coming-of-age novel--a heart-wrenching sto...

Light Through Darkened Windows a Shut-In Story (Classic Reprint) (9781332419821)



Excerpt from Light Through Darkened Windows a Shut-in Story The place, consisting of a dozen acres, was kept in perfect order; the sunny garden at the south, with gnarled grapevines clambering along its walls and a double row of box-bushes stretch ing down the center; the evergreens and orna mental shrubs and large vases, with blooming plants, occupied the front lawn. Tb the east an open turfy space, in the center of Which stood a large weeping-willow, separated the house from the great brick barn with its flanking cribs. The house was almost fifty years old. Its massive walls were faced with bricks, to which the ivy clung with tenacious feet wherever it was allowed to run. The gables terminated in broad, double chim neys, between which a railed walk intended for a lookout, but rarely used for that or any other purpose, rested on a peak of the roof. A low portico paved with stone extended along the front, which was further shaded by two enor mous sycamore-trees as old as the house itself.
