Robyn Schneider's The Beginning of Everything is a witty and heart-wrenching teen novel that will appeal to fans of books by John Green and Ned Vizzini, novels such as The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and classics like The Great Gatsby and The Catcher in the Rye.Varsity tennis captain Ezra Faulkner was supposed to be homecoming king, but that was before—before his girlfriend cheated on him, before a car accident shattered his leg, and before he fell in love with unpredictable new girl Cassidy Thorpe.As Kirkus Reviews said in a starred review, "Schneider takes familiar stereotypes and infuses them with plenty of depth. Here are teens who could easily trade barbs and double entendres with the characters that fill John Green's novels."Funny, smart, and including everything from flash mobs to blanket forts to a poodle who just might be the reincarnation of Jay Gatsby, The Beginning of Everything is a refreshing contemporary twist on the classic coming-of-age novel—a heart-wrenching story about how difficult it is to play the part that people expect, and how new beginnings can stem from abrupt and tragic endings.

This is the kind of love story people remember for how awkward, funny, and painfully real it feels. Eleanor and Park aren’t polished dream characters, they’re two outsiders finding safety in each other through music, comics, and quiet moments. If you like romances that feel nostalgic, a little heart-wrecking, and deeply human, this one really lingers.

Recommendation:
- This book is a perfect choice for those who love a blend of fantasy and mystery. With its unique combination of fiction and vintage photography, "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" offers a thrilling reading experience that will keep you hooked from beginning to end. Follow Jacob's journey to a remote island where he uncovers the secrets of an abandoned orphanage and its peculiar inhabitants. Get ready for a spine-tingling adventure that will leave you wanting more.
First, a warning; then, a threat. Then, an attack that leaves a series of seemingly-innocuous historical photos destroyed.
A mysterious coded poem - attached to a 1954 archived photo of the National Service riots in Singapore - sets off a chain of events that unravels secrets from the past.
But no one except Owen, the school’s resident freak, can see that the obscure mathematical and disparate clues are connected by only one thing—concepts linked to the Fibonacci sequence. It’s up to Owen and his only friend Clara to decipher what the clues mean, and to uncover a hidden secret—Singapore’s dark past during a time when the dreaded Kempeitai reigned and communism held its sway—before it is too late.
