Romeo & What's Her Name
by Shani PetroffIn this fast-paced romance that combines flirty fun and situational comedy, a spunky heroine must navigate secret crushes, high school hijinks, and of course, Shakespeare. Understudies never get to perform...which is why being Juliet's understudy in the school's yearly Shakespeare production is the perfect role for Emily. She can earn some much-needed extra credit while pursuing her main goal of spending time with Wes, aka Romeo, aka the hottest, nicest guy in school (in her completely unbiased opinion). And she meant to learn her lines, really, it's just:a) Shakespeare is HARD,b) Amanda (the "real" Juliet) makes her run errands instead of lines, andc) there's no point, since Amanda would never miss her chance to be the star of the show. Then Amanda ends up in the hospital and Emily, as the (completely unprepared!) understudy, has to star in the most famous scene from Romeo and Juliet opposite the guy of her dreams. Oops?Shani Petroff’s Romeo and What’s Her Name is a laugh-out-loud funny novel chosen by readers like you for Macmillan's young adult imprint Swoon Reads.Praise for Romeo and What's Her Name:"This has all the hallmarks of a high-school romance: a swoon-worthy male lead, a requisite mean girl, and plenty of backstage dallying and wacky miscommunication. Spunky Emily has great friends beside her, and it's this, even more than her budding romance with Wes, that makes this a worthwhile read. Flirty and fun." —Booklist"Petroff’s latest offering, published by Macmillan’s crowdsourced imprint, will delight romance lovers with its fast pace and humorous tone. This sweet, lighthearted look at high school romantic foibles will be of particular interest to fans of books by Ann Brashares and Jennifer Echols." —School Library Journal"[Emily is] the American Bridget Jones...this book is simply amazing!" —Jenn, reader on SwoonReads.com"The characters, the pacing, the plot are all on point! Absolutely hilarious book!" —Sara, reader on SwoonReads.com"An amazing set up, authentic characters (who are definitely swoon worthy), and a dynamic storyline.

Roof Over our Heads
by Marguerite DicksonWhen Georgia Lane has to leave Boston to live in Lane's Cove, she feels it is the end of everything. Ten years before, when her father was killed in an automobile accident, Mrs. Lane had gone to Boston with six-year-old Georgia and found a job. At sixteen, Georgia is happy in school and in her friendship with Lorraine Fitzgerald. It is a blow to have to leave her busy city life, and go back to a small Maine town. But Mrs. Lane has lost her job, and when Great-aunt Susan Burnham's will leaves the house to Mrs. Lane, there is no choice. It is a roof over their heads. Before they go back, Mrs. Lane courageously tells her daughter the truth. The day Mr. Lane was killed, $10,000 was missing from the bank where he worked. The money was never found, so Mrs. Lane sold their home and turned the money from the sale over to the bank, to cover the loss. Mother and daughter return to a town where people remember what happened. They find good neighbors in old friends, the Aliens. The son, Vee—Vincent Lockwood Allen, IV— is a senior at the high school, where Georgia is a junior. He drives "little George," as he promptly nicknames her, to school every day, along with Mona Fairchild and Curt Kennedy, also neighbors. Mona's antagonism to Georgia,- and her pointed, slighting references to her father, add to Georgia's misery. Herb Small, Great-aunt Susan's nephew, insists that his aunt intended the Burnham house for him, and his efforts to find a missing will to prove this, add to the confusion. Georgia makes a place for herself at school, and in her spare time remodels the old house. Lorraine comes for a summer visit, and the two girls help put on an Ancestors' Fashion Show in town. Uppermost in Georgia's mind, however, is the mystery of the missing $10,000, but every clue leads up a blind alley. She determines to solve the mystery and clear her father's name, and her efforts to do so make a story that builds to a dramatic and a completely logical climax. (12-16) This is a Junior Literary Guild selection, chosen as an out standing book for older readers (B Group).
