Ce roman pour jeunes adultes élégant capture l'expérience des immigrants d'une famille indo-américaine avec humour et cœur. Récit alterné de voix adolescentes à travers trois générations, il explore la sororité, les premiers amours, l'amitié et l'héritage culturel, pour le meilleur ou pour le pire. D'une grand-mère inquiète que ses enfants perdent leur identité indienne à une fille engagée dans une relation amoureuse biraciale interdite, en passant par une petite-fille militante pour la préservation des tigres du Bengale, l'auteure primée Mitali Perkins tisse les fils d'une famille en train de se forger une identité américaine. Voici une histoire vaste de cinq femmes à la fois intimement relatable et entièrement nouvelle.

Amber's dad has moved to New Jersey, which means shared custody and more parental fighting. This time Amber has a strong desire to get her ears pierced--and is once again stuck in the middle.

Amber Brown and Justin Daniels are best friends. They've known each other for practically forever, sit next to each other in class, help each other with homework, and always stick up for each other. Justin never says things like, "Amber Brown is not a crayon." Amber never says, "Just in Time." They're a great team - until disaster strikes. Justin has to move away, and now the best friends are fighting. Will they be able to work it out before it's too late?

Cathy's Book was literally a word-of-mouth success story, with over 120,000 copies of the groundbreaking, interactive teen novel in print. Perhaps less noticeable was the heart of the book: a good story well told. Now fans of Cathy Vickers will return to the exciting, unpredictable world that made the first book such a success. Cathy was your average high school student-doodling in the margins of her journal, crushing on a cute boy, and hanging out with her best friend Emma. As this story begins, she's trying to keep a job, her journal is stolen, the cute boy is not who he seems to be, and even Emma's side project/start-up company, Doubletalk Wireless, is about to get caught up in the mystery surrounding Cathy and her search for the truth about her father. Her presumed-dead father. It's just a simple story really: Girl loves Boy, Boy disappears, Girl discovers secret that will alter the course of humanity....

This stunning debut combines reading with the world of internet gaming to create a masterful new genre that will allow teens to take the story from the page into the world of cyberspace and beyond. Things weren't so peachy in Cathy's life before Victor broke up with her. Her father died unexpectedly, she's failing school, and her best friend is mad at her. But when Cathy decides to investigate Victor's reasons for ending their relationship, things suddenly go from bad to very, very, very bad as her findings produce more questions than answers. For instance, what does the death of Victor's co-worker, the strange mark that appeared on Cathy's arm, and the surreal behavior of several Chinese elders have to do with it? Through Cathy's unique and irresistible voice—and lots of proof in the form of letters, photographs, date book entries, telephone numbers readers can call, websites they can access, as well as secrets only a careful reader will be able to decipher—readers will enter a strange and fascinating world where things often aren't how they appear. Two-color illustrations plus supplemental material. Ages: 12 and up
