Need - Joelle Charbonneau
“No one gets something for nothing. We all should know better.”
Teenagers
at Wisconsin’s Nottawa High School are drawn deeper into a social
networking site that promises to grant their every need . . . regardless
of the consequences. Soon the site turns sinister, with simple pranks
escalating to malicious crimes. The body count rises. In this chilling
YA thriller, the author of the best-selling Testing trilogy examines not
only the dark side of social media, but the dark side of human nature.Killing Time in Crystal City - Chris Lynch

From the first moment of adventure, Kevin’s life takes a turn for the exciting. Making friends seems easy with his new persona, especially when a group of homeless beach bums instantly includes him in their crew. But do they like the real Kevin, or the guy he’s pretending to be? And will this new lifestyle help Kevin escape from the misery of his former life—or will it drag him right back into the reasons he left home?

Jennifer can’t go on like this—binging, purging, starving, all while trying to appear like she’s got it all together. But when she finally confesses her secret to her parents and is hospitalized at the Samuel Tuke Center, her journey is only beginning.
As Jennifer progresses through her treatment, she learns to recognize her relationships with food, friends, and family—and how each relationship is healthy or unhealthy. She has to learn to trust herself and her own instincts, but that’s easier than it sounds. She has to believe—after many years of being a believarexic.
Using her trademark dark humor and powerful emotion, J. J. Johnson tells an inspiring story that is based on her own experience of being hospitalized for an eating disorder as a teenager. The innovative format—which tells Jennifer’s story through blank verse and prose, with changes in tense and voice, and uses forms, workbooks, and journal entries—mirrors the protagonist’s progress toward a healthy body and mind.
