When Juneau invites Maya to join a secret society of artists, vandals, and mischief-makers who fight for justice at their school, the two forge a friendship that inspires her to confront the challenges in her own life... even as their relationship grows romantic, painful, and twisted.

If You Still Recognize Me by CYNTHIA SO. This summer, Elsie is finally going to confess her feelings to her longtime, long-distance crush. That is, until Joan, Elsie’s childhood best friend, literally walks back into her life, and it's like she had never moved away to Hong Kong or ignored Elsie’s dozens of emails and letters. Then Ada mentions her grandmother’s own long-lost pen pal (read: love?), who once lived only a train ride away from Elsie’s home, and Elsie gets the idea for the perfect grand gesture. But as her plan to reunite the two older women ignites a summer of repairing broken bonds, Elsie starts to wonder if she, too, can recover the things she’s lost…
