The kids must rely on their wits, wilderness skills and a stranger, where the only way out is together. This is a must read for fans of supernatural suspense, survival stories, and unforgettable friendships.

(Based off of the Wings of Fire book series by Tui T. Sutherland. None of these characters are mine, and neither is the lore. Tui is an amazing writer and these are her characters, not mine.

According to her brother, high school sophomore Emily Randazzo has a "GPS brain" which set her route and won't let her try a new one. But as far as Emily is concerned, her whole life has been spent in trials - like trying to decide whether she should live in Brooklyn with her strict Mom or suburban Jersey with her lenient Dad - or trying to figure out how other people's brains work and why hers is so different from theirs - or trying to navigate when she should stand firm in her ways, versus being flexible for others. After so many years struggling to fit in and be happy, Emily finally feels that she's found her lane in life. She's attending an all-girl school that she loves, made some good friends like her bestie Jenny, and set a goal to be accepted to Yale University. So of course she doesn't want to change direction now! However, a weekend visit to the relaxed rules at her father's home puts new detours in Emily's path, starting in the form of two boys: her brother's best friend Kelly, and next-door-neighbor Evan. Soon enough Emily begins to wonder if she should recalculate. Divided between two parents, two states, two boys and the possibilities of two extremely different lives, Emily is trying to figure out who, what and where she wants to be in her future.

Professor Sprout had never expected that her plan for a Tuesday Lunch club for lonely students of all houses would be accepted, but finally with the arrival of Adelaide Potter, sister of The Harry Potter and unpopular loner, perhaps it had a chance. With an odd assortment of students, and a plan for each of them to talk about a subject every week, surely they would get to know each other in no time.

Forty-two failed dates. One unexpected tear. And the quiet system crash of a queer developer learning how to feel. /// Jamie doesn't feel much. He's lived with flat affect as long as he can remember, compensating with logic, routines, and romantic comedies filed under reference. As a queer man longing for connection but unable to express it, he's catalogued every failed date--clinically, precisely, and alone. Then comes Date Forty-One. And a single, unexpected tear. What follows isn't a breakthrough. It's a slow, quiet system failure--one that makes him question everything he thought he understood about himself. And in the background--steady, patient--is Alex. A coworker with grief in his eyes and strawberry wafers in his coat pocket. This isn't a love story. But it is a story about love. About presence, repair, and learning that the first genuine feeling doesn't always need to be dramatic. Sometimes it's just true.
