Above All Else
What would you do to stand on top of the world?
Teenage climbing prodigies Rose Keller and Tate Russo have been training their whole lives for the ultimate climb: Everest. But between Rose's ailing mother, Tate's demanding father, and a simmering will-they-won't-they romance, neither teen's head is fully in the game.
Everyone on this expedition has something to prove; exhaustion and oxygen deprivation steadily chip away at their ability to make good decisions. The higher they climb, the more isolated each team member becomes. Rose and Tate will have to dig deep to determine what – or who – they value above all else.

Fourteen-year-old Ricky Bloom is pretty pissed off. Her body hurts constantly (thanks, chronic illness), her family's a mess (thanks, Disaster-Formerly-Known-As-My-Parents), and her crush is completely clueless. What's a girl to do but cuss (a lot) and skip school (also a lot)?
But it gets worse. When her truancy (a.k.a. The Charade) is discovered, Ricky might have to do the unthinkable: repeat ninth grade. She'll do whatever it takes to get the hell out of middle school – even if it means changing the person she's become.
