My Life as a Diamond
Ten-year-old Caspar “Caz” Cadman loves baseball and has a great arm. He loves the sounds, the smells, the stats. When his family moves from Toronto to a suburb of Seattle, the first thing he does is try out for the local summer team, the Redburn Ravens. Even though Caz is thrilled when he makes the team, he worries because he has a big secret.
No one knows that back in Toronto, Caz used to live a different life. And it’s nobody’s business. Caz will tell his new friends when he’s ready.
Save Me, Kurt Cobain
Save Me, Kurt Cobain is published by Delacorte Press, Random House.
What if you discovered that Kurt Cobain is not only alive, but might be your real father? After glimpsing him on a ferry from Seattle, Nico follows the man with the blazing blue eyes to a remote Vancouver Island cabin—and her life will never be the same.
