The wildest dreams bookshop

Page, Gracie,


"Sometimes real life is sweeter than fiction..."--Cover. "First published in the United Kingdom by Harper Fire, an imprint of HarperCollins Children's Books, in 2025."--Colophon. Series name and numbering from Fantastic Fiction. Seventeen-year-old Anna's summer is not off to a good start. She's pretty sure she's flunked her exams, and her boyfriend, Max, has unceremoniously dumped her. So when her aunt invites her to come work and live at her seaside bookshop, Anna takes her up on the offer--what other choice does she have? At least there she can hide out, maybe get her mess of a life back on track without the distractions of everyone she knows. But there are plenty of other kinds of distractions in this sleepy little town: the infuriatingly hot local surfer who keeps crossing her path, for instance, plus the celebrity book launch Anna unwittingly agrees to host at the bookshop. It might not be any less messy than her real life, but this summer is going to be anything but boring!

The color of a lie

Johnson, Kim, 1979-


Two worlds. Two different versions of himself. Calvin knows how to pass for white. He's done it plenty of times. For his friends in Chicago, when they wanted food but weren't allowed in a restaurant. For work, when he and his dad traveled for the Green Book. This is different. After a tragedy in Chicago forces the family to flee, they resettle in an idyllic all-white suburban town in search of a better life. Calvin's father wants them to embrace their new lifestyle, but that's easier said than done. Hiding your true self is exhausting -- which leads Calvin across town, where he can make Black friends who know all of him... and where he can spend more time with his new crush, Lily. But when Calvin starts unraveling dark secrets about the white town and its inhabitants, passing begins to feel even more suffocating -- and dangerous -- than he could have imagined. Expertly weaving real historical events with salient reflections on being Black in America, acclaimed author Kim Johnson takes readers back in time to reveal powerful truths whose echoes are still felt.

After everything that the citizens of Beartown have gone through, they are struck yet another blow when they hear that their beloved local hockey team will soon be disbanded.

Amidst the mounting tension between the two rivals, a surprising newcomer is handpicked to be Beartown’s new hockey coach. Soon a new team starts to take shape around Amat, the fastest player you’ll ever see; Benji, the intense lone wolf; and Vidar, a born-to-be-bad troublemaker. But bringing this team together proves to be a challenge as old bonds are broken, new ones are formed, and the enmity with Hed grows more and more acute.
