Brothers Aaron and Ashton Mason have very active imaginations. In particular, theyre fond of racecars and the Indy 500. In the safety of their basement, they pretend a cardboard box is a fast-moving car and even manage to win a race or two. In their minds, they can hear the roar of the engines and cheers from the crowd. Of course, racing cars can be dangerous, so their playtime is sometimes interrupted by crazy crashes and emergency visits to the pit crew. They soon find a second cardboard box. Now, Aaron and Ashton can race against each other. But this time something feels different. The cheers are a little bit louder, and suddenly, things change. No longer in their basement, the brothers find themselves roaring through the real Indy 500! They have no idea how they got there, but they better figure it out or they could be in big trouble. After all, Mom hates when they miss dinner. To make it home, the boys must work together as they embark on the adventure of a lifetime at the racetrack.

A Seventeen Magazine Best Book of the Year “A winsome, hilarious tale about losing the map and finding a better way to a happy ending. I loved it!” —#1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner Seventeen-year-old Nora Holmes is an artist, a painter from the moment she could hold a brush. She inherited the skill from her grandfather, Robert, who's always nurtured Nora's talent and encouraged her to follow her passion. Still, Nora is shocked and elated when Robert offers her a gift: an all-expenses-paid summer trip to Europe to immerse herself in the craft and to study history's most famous artists. The only catch? Nora has to create an original piece of artwork at every stop and send it back to her grandfather. It's a no-brainer: Nora is in!

But seconds after saying goodbye to Alice at the airport terminal, Nora hears a voice call out: "Wait! Stop! I'm coming with you!" And . . . they’re off. 13 Little Blue Envelopes meets Gilmore Girls in this fun, funny, and bittersweet summer adventure from Observer writer and the hilarious voice behind @GuyInYourMFA, Dana Schwartz.

Gordon collapses into his lunch and awakes in the hospital surrounded by his maritime-enthusiast lover, his mother, a co-worker, the doctor and the nurses. Reluctantly, he had been composing a song for a children's television show that features a frog - Mr. Bungee - and the spector of this large green character and the unfinished work haunts him throughout his medical ordeal. What was thought to be a tumor turns out to be something more operable and Gordon recovers, grateful for a chance to compose the songs he yearns to produce.
