Author: Meg Haston
Release Date: July 7, 2015
Published by: HarperTeen
Seventeen-year-old Stevie is trapped. In her life. In her body. And now in an eating disorder treatment center on the dusty outskirts of the New Mexico desert.
Life in the center is regimented and intrusive, a nightmare come true. Nurses and therapists watch Stevie at mealtime accompany her to the bathroom, and challenge her to eat the foods she's worked so hard to avoid.
Her dad has signed her up for sixty days of treatment. But what no one knows is that Stevie doesn't plan to stay that long. There are only twenty-seven days until the anniversary of her brother Josh's death--the death she caused. And if Stevie gets her way, there are only twenty-seven days until she too will end her life.
In this emotionally haunting and beautifully written young adult debut, Meg Haston delves into the devastating impact of trauma and loss, while posing the question: Why are some consumed by their illness while others embark on a path toward recovery? (Summary from Goodreads)

This one sounds heavy, but I always find the best lessons in these types of stories. I'm interested.

A week after Mother found her sleeping on the ceiling, Amy Thomsett is delivered to her new school, Drearcliff Grange in Somerset. Although it looks like a regular boarding school, Amy learns that Drearcliff girls are special, the daughters of criminal masterminds, outlaw scientists and master magicians. Several of the pupils also have special gifts like Amy's, and when one of the girls in her dormitory is abducted by a mysterious group in black hoods, Amy forms a secret, superpowered society called the Moth Club to rescue their friend. They soon discover that the Hooded Conspiracy runs through the School, and it's up to the Moth Club to get to the heart of it. (Summary from Goodreads)

I'm interested in Paperweight. It does sound heavy but I think it'll be a beautiful read. :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThese both sound so good! I think the The Secrets of Drearcliff Grange School is particularly right up my alley!

Paperweight sounds a bit too heavy for me but The Secrets of Drearcliff Grange School sounds pretty cool! I hadn't heard of either of these so thanks for putting them on my radar!
