Summary
Kristina Georgia Snow had everything going for her before she discovered the seductive world of "the monster." On a visit to her negligent, remote father, she snorts crank and enters "a high velocity rush to madness" that doesn't seem to have an end in sight. Kristina is gone, and tough-talking, risk-everything Bree takes her place, changing the whole course of her young life through an addiction more destructive then she ever knew was possible. An intense, harrowing drama written in verse.

Media Reviews
"Powerful and unsettling."
-- Kirkus online
"Readers will appreciate the creative use of form here (some poems...are written in two columns that can be read separately or together), and although the author is definitely on a mission, she creates a world nearly as consuming and disturbing as the titular drug."
-- Publishers Weekly Annex

The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things
by Carolyn MacKler
Fifteen-year-old Virginia Shreves has a larger-than-average body and a plus-size inferiority complex. She lives on the Web, snarfs junk food, and follows the "Fat Girl Code of Conduct." Her stuttering best friend has just moved to Walla Walla (of all places). Her new companion, Froggy Welsh the Fourth (real name), has just succeeded in getting his hand up her shirt, and she lives in fear that he'll look underneath. Then there are the other Shreves: Mom, the successful psychologist and exercise fiend; Dad, a top executive who ogles thin women on TV; and older siblings Anaïs and rugby god Byron, both of them slim and brilliant. Delete Virginia, and the Shreves would be a picture-perfect family. Or so she's convinced. And then a shocking phone call changes everything. With irreverent humor, insight, and surprising gravity, Carolyn Mackler creates an endearingly blunt heroine whose story will speak to every teen who struggles with family expectations - and serve as a welcome reminder that the most impressive achievement is to be true to yourself.
Sexy
by Joyce Carol Oates
It was in November, a Thursday after swim practice. The thing with Mr. Tracy, Darren's English teacher. The thing was how Darren would think of it, afterward. The thing that was vague and not-named. The thing that hadn’t happened, anyway. Darren Flynn has the perfect life -- until that day in November. After that day, after what happened (did it happen?), life is different. Darren is different. Nothing is as it was –– before. His friends, his family, even the people who are supposed to be in charge are no longer who Darren thought they were. Who can he trust, now? This compelling, masterfully written novel by acclaimed author Joyce Carol Oates explores one teenager's search for identity in a complex, deceiving world, and the answers he finds in the most unexpected places.
