The listing, Laurie Halse Anderson Young Adult Teen Books has ended.
You are bidding on two novels by Laurie Halse Anderson. She writes Young Adult fiction, and her books are wonderful reads. You will love her edgy, breezy, and at times humorous style of writing.
Prom -
Ashley Hannigan doesn't care about the prom, but she's the exception. It's pretty much the only good thing that happens in her urban Philadelphia high school, and everyone plans to make the most of it -- especially Ash's best friend, Natalia, who's the head of the committee and has prom stars in her eyes.
Then the faculty advisor is busted for taking the prom money. Suddenly, Ash finds herself roped into putting together a gala dance out of absolutely nada. But she has help--from her large and loving (if exasperating!) family, from nat's eccentric grandmother, from the principal, and from her fellow classmates. And in making the prom happen, Ash learns some surprising things about making her life happen, too.
Wintergirls -
Lia and Cassie are best friends, wintergirls frozen in fragile bodies, competitors in a deadly contest to see who can be the thinnest. But then Cassie suffers the ultimate loss--her life--and Lia is left behind, haunted by her friend's memory and feeling guilty for not being able to save her.
In her most powerfully moving novel since Speak, award winning author Laurie Halse Anderson explores Lia's struggle, her painful path to recovery, and her deserpate attempts to hold on to the most important thing of all--hope.
Please note that both books are paperbacks. They have mild cover creasing or spine creasing. Also, someone highlighted on a few of the pages in Wintergirls.
