Kody Keplinger Libri

Bianca Piper ha diciassette anni, è cinica ma leale e sa benissimo di non essere la più carina tra le sue amiche. D'altronde sa anche di essere più sveglia e intelligente rispetto a molte sue coetanee, che si lasciano incantare dal fascino di ragazzi come Wesley Rush, il più corteggiato e viscido della scuola. Bianca infatti detesta Wesley. Ma dato che le cose in famiglia non vanno granché bene e Bianca è alla disperata ricerca di una distrazione, un giorno si ritrova a baciare proprio Wesley. E... scopre che le piace! Tanto che, sempre più desiderosa di fuggire dai propri problemi familiari, finisce per farci sesso e per ricorrere a questo "diversivo" ogni volta che qualcosa va storto. Ma quando viene fuori che Wesley è bravo ad ascoltare e che anche la sua, di vita, è più scombinata del previsto, Bianca intuisce che la situazione le sta sfuggendo di mano e si rende conto con terrore che potrebbe essersi innamorata proprio del nemico...

Sonny Ardmore è una bugiarda ineguagliabile. Da sempre si inventa bugie per nascondere che suo padre è in prigione, e adesso racconta in giro che sua madre l’ha cacciata di casa. Ogni notte si intrufola di nascosto in casa della sua migliore amica con la scusa di non avere altro posto dove andare a dormire. Amy Rush è l’unica persona con cui Sonny condivide segreti, vestiti e anche la sua nemesi, all’anagrafe Ryder Cross. Ryder è appena arrivato alla Hamilton High School e ha tutta l’aria di essere uno di quegli insopportabili fighetti snob. Ma ha un punto debole: Amy. Così, quando il ragazzo scrive un’email a Amy chiedendole di uscire, le due amiche colgono la palla al balzo per fargli uno scherzo indimenticabile. Ma senza volerlo, Sonny finisce per chattare con Ryder tutta la notte, e arriva alla terribile conclusione che forse potrebbe addirittura piacerle. C’è solo un piccolo problema: Ryder è convinto che quella con cui sta chattando sia Amy. Sonny questa volta dovrà inventarsi un piano geniale per far capire a Ryder che è lei la ragazza dei suoi sogni, e la cosa si rivela davvero più complicata di quanto pensasse…

In Kody Keplinger's lyrical middle-grade debut, eleven-year-old Nola Sutton faces a summer of change when her best friends, the Swift boys, are torn apart by their father's departure.

Hadley is an angry girl: angry at her mother for embezzling money, angry at her estranged older sister, Beth, whom she has to live with while her mother is in jail, angry at having to move to Kentucky away from her friends, and angry at the world because she has retinitis pigmentosa and is slowly going blind; but then she meets Lila, a rescued pit bull who has not responded to anyone else--so if Hadley can train Lila, maybe the dog can get adopted into her forever home, and just maybe Lila can help Hadley deal with her own problems.

New York Times bestselling author of The DUFF Kody Keplinger and artist Sara Kipin reimagine an iconic DC antihero with a gothic-horror twist.

Whitley Johnson's dream summer with her divorce dad has turned into a nightmare. She's just met his new fiancee and her kids. The fiancee's son? Whitley's one-night stand from graduation night. Just freakin' great. Worse, she totally doesn't fit in with her dad's perfect new country-club family. So Whitley acts out. She parties. Hard. So hard she doesn't even notice the good things right under her nose: a sweet little future stepsister who is just about the only person she's ever liked, a best friend (even though Whitley swears she doesn't "do" friends), and a smoking-hot guy who isn't her stepbrother...at least, not yet. It will take all three of them to help Whitley get through her anger and begin to put the pieces of her family together. Filled with authenticity and raw emotion, Whitley is Kody Keplinger's most compelling character to date: a cynical Holden Caulfield-esque girl you will wholly care about.

Fed up with the increasingly violent rivalry between the football and soccer teams at Hamilton High, Lissa and other players' girlfriends go on strike, but the girls will succeed only if their libidos can be controlled longer than the boys' can, in a comedic reimagining of the classic Greek play Lysistrata.

Six survived to tell the story, but who knows the truth? An addictive page-turner from bestselling US sensation Kody Keplinger, author of THE DUFF. It's been three years since the Virgil County High School Massacre. Three years since my best friend, Sarah, was killed in a bathroom stall during the mass shooting. Everyone knows Sarah's story - that she died proclaiming her faith. But it's not true. I know because I was with her when she died. I didn't say anything then, and people got hurt because of it. Now Sarah's parents are publishing a book about her, so this might be my last chance to set the record straight . . . but I'm not the only survivor with a story to tell about what did - and didn't - happen that day. Except Sarah's martyrdom is important to a lot of people, people who don't take kindly to what I'm trying to do. And the more I learn, the less certain I am about what's right. I don't know what will be worse: the guilt of staying silent or the consequences of speaking up . . .

Bo Dickinson is a girl with a wild reputation, a deadbeat dad, and a mama who’s not exactly sober most of the time. Everyone in town knows the Dickinsons are a bad lot, but Bo doesn’t care what anyone thinks. Agnes Atwood has never gone on a date, never even stayed out past ten, and never broken any of her parents’ overbearing rules. Rules that are meant to protect their legally blind daughter—protect her from what, Agnes isn’t quite sure. Despite everything, Bo and Agnes become best friends. And it’s the sort of friendship that runs truer and deeper than anything else. So when Bo shows up in the middle of the night, with police sirens wailing in the distance, desperate to get out of town, Agnes doesn’t hesitate to take off with her. But running away and not getting caught will require stealing a car, tracking down Bo’s dad, staying ahead of the authorities, and—worst of all—confronting some ugly secrets.
