perfect boyfriend, Joey. She remembers that last kiss, soft, lingering, and

From Goodreads: Gigi, Bea, and Neerja are best friends and total
overachievers. Even if they aren't the most popular girls in school, they
aren't too worried. They know their "real" lives will begin once they
get to their Ivy League colleges. There will be ivy, and there will be cute
guys in the libraries (hopefully with English accents) But when an unexpected
event shows them they're missing out on the full high school experience, it's
time to come out of the honors lounge and into the spotlight. They make a pact:
They will each take on their greatest challenge--and they will totally
"rock" it.

public speaking--and go head-to-head with gorgeous California Will. Bea used to
be one of the best skiers around, until she was derailed. It could be time for

stayed behind the scenes--until now.
These friends are determined to show the world that smart girls really can get
what they want--but that could mean getting way more attention than they ever
bargained for. . . .

Publish Date: July 1, 2012
From Goodreads: In Dos Rios, Texas,
life is all about borders -- and what happens when you cross the line. A fresh
new series in the tradition of Bluford High explores what it's like to grow up
on the edge.
A quinceanera for the record books?
If Fabiola Garza had her way, her quinceanera would be as simple and as
non-traditional as possible-just two airline tickets to New York City and her best friend in tow.
Sadly, things hardly ever go Fabi's way.
After mean girl Melodee lays down a quinceanera challenge in front of the
entire school, Fabi is forced to upgrade her party plans. Melodee is rich and
popular-her quinceanera will be effortlessly epic. Fabi is at a loss as to how
to make her party remotely as fun and fabulous as Melodee's is sure to be.
Younger sister Alexis steps in with a scheme to get Fabi on the TV show Quince
Dreams-but Fabi isn't convinced she won't end up in a quince nightmare instead.
Choke by Diana Lopez
Publish Date: July 1, 2012
From Goodreads:
A heartfelt novel about the disturbing "choking
game" trend -- and one girl's struggle for self-acceptance.
If she could -- if her parents would let her -- eighth-grader Windy would
change everything about herself. She'd get highlights in her hair, a new
wardrobe; she'd wear makeup. But nothing ever changes. The mean girls at school
are still mean, and Windy's best friend Elena is still more interested in
making up words than talking about boys.
And then one day, Windy gets the change she's been looking for. New girl Nina
-- impossibly cool, confident, and not afraid of anyone -- starts hanging out
with Windy! Nina even wants to be "breath sisters." Windy isn't sure
what that means, exactly, but she knows she wants to find out. It sounds even
better than a BFF.
Windy is right, at first. Being a breath sister gains her a whole new set of
friends, girls she feels closer to and cooler with than anyone else. But her
inclusion in the new crowd comes at a dangerous price. Windy wants to change
everything about her life ... but is she really willing to give up everything
in the process?
