Big Guy

Robert Stevenson

Lättläst på engelska om Derek som hoppat av skolan och jobbar inom äldrevården. Han är homosexuell, men hur ska han våga berätta det för sin pappa? Derek har också träffat en kille via internet, men ska han våga träffa honom i verkligheten?

Derek is seventeen. He has dropped out of school and is working in a nursing home. He lives alone with his less-than-supportive father who looks down on everything in Derek's life. Derek can't even imagine what his father would do if he knew the truth - Derek is gay.

Recently, Derek has been exchanging email with Ethan. They have established a real friendship over the internet. In fact the friendship has blossomed into much more, at least for Derek. There's a problem, though. Derek sent Ethan a picture that doesn't really resemble the Derek of today. It was taken some time ago before Derek's mother left to join a cult. He has put on some extra weight since the picture was taken, and now Ethan has just broken the news that he wants to meet in person. Should he tell the truth or break things off?

Jennifer Mulrine var bara 14 år när hon skrev den här boken. Den är på engelska, men lättläst!

But Chris is trying to break free from all this. She just needs a little help along the way.

Bree Tanners andra liv

Stephenie Meyer

För alla Twilight-fans kommer nu en spin-off bok som handlar om Bree Tanner, den nyfödda vampyren som har en biroll i Eclipse, eller som den heter på svenska: Ljudet av ditt hjärta.

Stephenie Meyer berättar här den trollbindande historien om Bree Tanner och armén av unga vampurer från det att de förbereder sig för att förgöra Bella och familjen Cullen fram till det oförglömliga slutet. En bok fylld av fara, kärlek och mystik!

Stephenie Meyer själv beskriver boken så här:
"Jag är lika förvånad som alla andra över den här boken. När jag började arbeta med den 2005 var det bara som en övning i att utforska den andra sidan av Ljudet av ditt hjärta, som jag just då redigerade. Jag trodde att den kanske skulle sluta som en novell som jag kunde publicera på min hemsida. Senare, när arbetet med guideboken till Twilightsagan inleddes, tänkte jag mig att Brees historia skulle kunna passa bra där. Men berättelsen växte sig längre än jag hade förväntat mig, tills den var alldeles för lång för guiden."

Boken finns också att låna på engelska och heter då The short second life of Bree Tanner!

Who owns Kelly Paddik?

Beth Goobie

Kelly Paddik, after years of abuse and a suicide attempt, is sent to the Marymound School for Girls for rehabilitation, where she begins to plan her escape...

I pushed open the car door, dug my feet into the ground, and made a run for it. Behind me, I heard my social worker start yelling. At the driveway entrance the huge iron gate still stood open. I had to get away - that was all I could think about. I was through the gate, and there was the street ahead of me. Everything in me pulled together and began to run, fast as my heart was beating, faster. Kelly Paddik is locked up...
