In a one-of-a-kind collaboration, seventeen of the most recognizable YA writers—including Shaun David Hutchinson, Neal and Brendan Shusterman, and Beth Revis—come together to share the viewpoints of a group of students affected by a school shooting.

It took only twenty-two minutes for Kirby Matheson to exit his car, march onto the school grounds, enter the gymnasium, and open fire, killing six and injuring five others.

But this isn’t a story about the shooting itself. This isn’t about recounting that one unforgettable day.

This is about one boy—who had friends, enjoyed reading, playing saxophone in the band, and had never been in trouble before—became a monster capable of entering his school with a loaded gun and firing bullets at his classmates.

Each chapter is told from a different victim’s viewpoint, giving insight into who Kirby was and who he’d become. Some are sweet, some are dark; some are seemingly unrelated, about fights or first kisses or late-night parties. This is a book told from multiple perspectives—with one character and one event drawing them all together—by some of YA’s most recognizable names.

An achingly real and profoundly moving love story about two Minnesota teens whose lives become intertwined through school, role-playing games, and a chance two-a.m. bike accident.

It is Labor Day weekend in St. Paul, Minnesota, and boy and girl collide on a dark street at two thirty in the morning: Lesh, who wears black, listens to metal, and plays MMOs; and Svetlana, who embroiders her skirts, listens to Björk and Berlioz, and dungeon masters her own RPG. They should pick themselves up, continue on their way, and never talk to each other again.

But they don’t.

This is a story of two people who do not belong in each other’s lives, who find each other at a time when they desperately need someone who doesn’t belong in their lives. A story of those moments when we act like people we aren’t in order to figure out who we are. A story of the roles we all play—at school, at home, with our friends, and without our friends—and the one person who might show us what lies underneath it all.

From the author of the universally praised indie hit Brooklyn, Burning comes a funny, unforgettable, and completely original love story.

On the first day of their spring break, best friends Tucker and Maya discover a "Special Collection" of Titanic artifacts at the local museum. But the artifacts have more power than they know. When they touch a magic ticket, Tucker and Maya find themselves transported 100 years in the past Ñ to Titanic's maiden voyage. Now they must figure out how to save a new friend, and return to the present, before time runs out.

After Tucker and Maya are jolted back to the present by Titanic's iceberg collision, they don't know what will happen to their new friend, Liam, who is still trapped onboard. They travel back to 1912 again to make sure Liam and his parents, all third-class passengers, make it to the lifeboats in time. But none of the passengers seem to realize the severity of the situation. Tucker and Maya must convince everyone that the unsinkable ship is sinking, and find Liam, before it's too late.

Best friends Maya and Tucker didn't expect to spend their spring break onboard the Titanic in 1912. But now that they've discovered a special collection of artifacts has the power to send them back in time, they're on a mission. They must travel back in time again to save their friend Liam and his parents, third-class passengers onboard the Titanic, and change history. Can they convince the captain to change the course of the doomed ship before it hits the iceberg?"

With Titanic already sinking, Tucker and Maya are frantic to get back to 1912. The two friends travel back to 1912 one last time and join the survivors in the lifeboats as they wait and hope for a rescue. In a twist of fate, their final interaction with Liam teaches them a piece of their own history as well.

When you're sixteen and no one understands who you are, sometimes the only choice left is to run. If you're lucky, you'll find a place that accepts you, no questions asked. And if you're really lucky, that place has a drum set, a place to practice, and a place to sleep. For Kid, the streets of Greenpoint, Brooklyn, are that place. Over the course of two scorching summers, Kid falls hopelessly in love and then loses nearly everything and everyone worth caring about. But as summer draws to a close, Kid finally finds someone who can last beyond the sunset.
