Daria and her friends call themselves the Authentics, because they pride themselves on always keeping it real. But in the course of researching a school project, Daria learns something shocking about her past, which launches her on a journey of self-discovery. It seems everyone is keeping secrets. And it's getting harder to know who she even is any longer.With infighting among the Authentics, her mother planning an over-the-top sweet sixteen party, and a romance that should be totally off limits, Daria doesn't have time for this identity crisis. As everything in her life is spinning out of control - can she figure out how to stay true to herself? One of Kirkus Reviews' Best Books of 2017 Members Reviews: Nazemian's writing is funny and engaging Abdi Nazemian has crafted a sumptuous coming-of-age novel that's witty, page-turning, and moving. As a young woman, Daria, struggles to define herself against the grain of her family, she stumbles upon the complexities of her own identity. Nazemian's writing is funny and engaging, and I found myself racing through the book, thoroughly immersed in Daria's journey. And being of Middle Eastern heritage myself, I loved how Nazemian expertly pulled back the curtain to share a specific yet relatable cultural world with the reader. The Authentics is a fantastic read -- I highly recommend it! Timely, fun, and funny "YA" novel that old(er) and young alike will love. I mean... I'm kicking myself that I couldn't write this review earlier to encourage this as a holiday gift for the "young adult" in your life but I just read it on my flight out of town for vacation. And it's a hit. Novels that are well written in the 1st person are special for me. They do something movies and television simply don't. And that's what we have here: wonderful 1st person story that is part coming-of-age, part mystery, part comedy. The story is focused on Persian-Americans in LA, and happily so. They're a fascinating lot in Nazemian's depiction. But the book additionally has a universe of characters from almost all backgrounds and lifestyles. In these tense and rancorous days, this deft integration is welcome! And fun! And funny! I guess the powers that be deemed it a "YA" novel... or perhaps the author wrote it with that intent. But I just experienced a novel... one that was pleasantly intent on portraying the inner world and outer journey of its young female protagonist. In doing so, I felt young again myself. And for that I'm appreciative. Recommended without reservation. wonderful characters, engaging story I finished the Authentics within hours of receiving it from Amazon and was nothing short of blown away.

The Sidekicks Audiobook by Will Kostakis

Listen to this audiobook in full for free on http://hotaudiobook.com [http://hotaudiobook.com] Title: The Sidekicks Author: Will Kostakis Narrator: David Linski, Tom Bromhead, P. J. Ochlan Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 10-31-17 Publisher: Blackstone Audio Genres: Teens, Fiction & Literature Publisher's Summary: Ryan, Harley, and Miles are very different people - the swimmer, the rebel, and the nerd. All they've ever had in common is Isaac, their shared best friend. When Isaac dies unexpectedly, the three boys must come to terms with their grief and the impact Isaac had on each of their lives. In his absence, Ryan, Harley, and Miles discover things about one another they never saw before and realize there may be more tying them together than just Isaac. In this intricately woven story told in three parts, award-winning Australian author Will Kostakis makes his American debut with a heartwarming, masterfully written novel about grief, self-discovery, and the connections that tie us all together. Members Reviews: Thanks! I want to thank the author for this great read. I blew through it in two days and am enjoying discussing it with my son as he reads it. I'd also like to thank the Catholic School that snubbed Will Kostakis causing a bit of an uproar online...without their close minded bigotry I may have never heard of the book or gotten to share it with my boy. Devastating and devastatingly funny, âThe Sidekicksâ is the new young adult book from Australian author Will Kostakis. Will is the author of fantastic 2013 book âThe First Third,â which went on to win the prestigious Gold Inky Award in 2014 (in which teen readers chose the shortlist, and selected the winner!). So, Willâs third book and first after âThe First Thirdâ (wow, tongue-tied) was a most-anticipated fare â and Iâm happy to say, it absolutely lives up to high reader-expectation. The book is in fact three linked novellas â from the points of view of three boys after the tragic death of their mutual friend (and actually, Isaac is the only thing these boys have in common). The book opens with Ryan, âThe Swimmer,â and sets up a lodestone scene the next two boys will come back to â when theyâre called into the Principalâs office to learn of Isaacâs death the night before. From there we see how each of these boys â Ryan, Harley, and Miles â cope with the death of Isaac, and how he fit into each of their lives â and maybe, how they can each fit into each otherâs lives as they embark on this new normal, without the glue that held their tentative friendship together. Ryan refers to himself, with little ego, as; âRyan Patrick Thomson, Olympic hopeful.â Heâs a minor celebrity at his private Catholic school, and is well aware that his currency on the swim team grants him certain leeway, which his mother (as Head of the English Department) is quick to counteract. Ryan also has a boyfriend that nobody â except Isaac â had any idea about. In a candid discussion with sympathetic teacher Mr Collins, Ryan confronts the idea that in only letting his best friend know the truth about his sexuality, he has compartmentalized his life; âI didnât want to leave my legacy to one person, and risk it being lost. I gave as much of myself to as many people, so that when they put all those pieces together, that would be the mark I left on the world.â I will say that of all the boys, Ryanâs novella was the most powerful and there may have been a slight dip in the action when his chapter concluded.

The Girl in Between Audiobook by Sarah Carroll

Listen to this audiobook in full for free on http://hotaudiobook.com [http://hotaudiobook.com] Title: The Girl in Between Author: Sarah Carroll Narrator: Jessica Almasy Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 10-24-17 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Teens, Fiction & Literature Publisher's Summary: Told in the naive voice of a homeless girl sheltered by her mother from the world, this is a moving debut perfect for fans of David Almond, A Monster Calls, and Room. I'm invisible. Ma says I'm supposed to be so the Authorities don't get me. She goes out into the streets almost every day but I'm not allowed. I've got to stay inside the mill so they don't see me. In an old, abandoned mill, a girl and her ma take shelter from their memories of life on the streets, and watch the busy world go by. The girl calls it the Castle because it's the biggest place they've ever stayed, a home of her own like no other. The windows are boarded up and the floorboards are falling in, but for her neither of those things matter. Then developers show up, and it's clear that their lives are about to change forever. Desperate to save their refuge from the Authorities and her mother from her own personal demons, the girl seeks out the ghosts of the mill. And with only Caretaker - the old man who's slept outside the mill for decades - around to answer her questions, she begins to wonder what kind of ghosts are haunting both the mill and her mother. The Girl in Between is a compelling, witty, and at times heartbreaking novel that explores themes of loneliness and grief with effortless warmth and an unforgettable voice that will stick with you long after you've finished. Critic Reviews: "A deeply moving story of family, homelessness, and the ghosts that won't let us go. Haunting and unforgettable." (Megan Shepherd, New York Times bestselling author of The Secret Horses of Briar Hill) Members Reviews: Five Stars Really great story, heartbreaking though! Excellent! What a great book! This story touched my heart in so many ways. I have a new perspective on the homeless. Excellent read! The Vagabond's Vantage Homes offer a sense of identity, particularly for those in their formative years. Sarah Carrollâs The Girl In Between depicts life on the street and on the move for a young girl and her mother from the eyes of the young girl. Within the walls of her Castle, a young girl can dream of the fairy tale life she wants instead of the harsh reality of homelessness she faces every day. While she has free reign over the Castle, she must be vigilant to remain invisible from the outside world or risk being taken away from her mother by the Authorities. With Authority representatives in yellow vests coming around her Castle to evaluate it, the girl fears that her home may be taken away from her or she from it, which would greatly change her life. In learning about the Castleâs history as a mill from a fellow squatter, called the Caretaker, who is struggling against his past and grief to leave the mill after forty-seven years, the girl realizes that her mother also needs to face whatâs haunting her in order to keep moving forward. A quick read that presents the realities of the world through the lens of a young girl offering a new perspective from which to consider the unfortunate issue of homelessness that plagues society. While the perspective of and experience with homelessness from the vantage point of young girl was quite intriguing and interesting as it was written in a manner that was captivating and using language that befits the narrator, the narrative was ultimately rather confusing, perhaps because it lacked an appreciable plot.
