    Některé holky ano
    • Za lásku se člověk nesmí stydět! Morgan, elitní atletka, je na konci posledního ročníku nucena přestoupit na jinou střední školu poté, co se ukáže, že být homosexuálka je v rozporu s kodexem chování její soukromé katolické školy. Tam se seznámí s Ruby, která má dva koníčky: opravuje svůj modrý Ford Torino z roku 1970 a účastní se místních soutěží krásy, aby splnila sny své despotické matky. Ty dvě se postupně sbližují. Ale zatímco Morgan - svobodná, hrdá a odhodlaná začít znovu - nechce, aby jejich rodící se vztah zůstal utajen, Ruby ještě není připravena vyjít s pravdou ven...

    • Fallon a Chloe bývaly nejlepší kamarádky, ale loni v létě si spolu těsně před tím, než Chloe odjela na vysokou, něco začaly. A po několika nedorozuměních teď spolu nemluví. O rok později je Chloe ze školy zpátky doma a Fallon se jí ze všech sil snaží vyhnout – což je extrémně složité, protože jejich mamky spolu podnikají. A obě dcery mají přes léto pracovat v jejich zmrzlinářské dodávce. Když se naskytne příležitost odprezentovat koncept luxusní gurmánské zmrzliny bohatým investorům – což by mohlo pomoci s rozšířením zmrzlinářského byznysu a vyřešit všechny finanční problémy – Fallon dostane za úkol vyrazit s autem hned na několik food festivalů po celé zemi. Sama to ale nezvládne a Chloe je jediná, kdo by jí mohl pomoct. Napětí mezi nimi stoupá. Podaří se Fallon zachovat chladnou hlavu?

      In this queer, paranormal YA graphic novel debut from the author of Some Girls Do and the illustrator of Wonder Woman: Warbringer, a young witch races to solve the grisly supernatural murders of her coven members before the killer strikes again. "[This] gorgeously illustrated tale mashes together murder mystery and witchcraft." —Nerdist Emsy has always lived in sunny California, and she’d much rather spend her days surfing with her friends or hanging out with her girlfriend than honing her powers as a fire elemental. But when members of her family’s coven back east are murdered under mysterious circumstances that can only be the result of powerful witchcraft, her family must suddenly return to dreary upstate New York. There, Emsy will have to master her neglected craft in order to find the killer . . . before her family becomes their next target.

    • From the author of Hot Dog Girl comes a fresh and funny queer YA contemporary novel about two teens who fall in love in an indie comic book shop. Jubilee has it all together. She's an elite cellist, and when she's not working in her stepmom's indie comic shop, she's prepping for the biggest audition of her life. Ridley is barely holding it together. His parents own the biggest comic-store chain in the country, and Ridley can't stop disappointing them--that is, when they're even paying attention. They meet one fateful night at a comic convention prom, and the two can't help falling for each other. Too bad their parents are at each other's throats every chance they get, making a relationship between them nearly impossible . . . unless they manage to keep it a secret. Then again, the feud between their families may be the least of their problems. As Ridley's anxiety spirals, Jubilee tries to help but finds her focus torn between her fast-approaching audition and their intensifying relationship. What if love can't conquer all? What if each of them needs more than the other can give? "A deep dive into first love while learning to manage significant mental health challenges . . . Dugan's strength is in creating a diverse cast of characters. Ridley is bisexual, Jubilee struggles with how to identify and label her sexuality, and most of the supporting characters are queer-identified." --School Library Journal

      A fresh and funny contemporary YA rom-com about teens working as costumed characters in a local amusement park. Elouise (Lou) Parker is determined to have the absolute best, most impossibly epic summer of her life. There are just a few things standing in her way: She's landed a job at Magic Castle Playland . . . as a giant dancing hot dog. Her crush, the dreamy diving pirate Nick, already has a girlfriend, who is literally the princess of the park. But Lou's never liked anyone, guy or otherwise, this much before, and now she wants a chance at her own happily ever after. Her best friend, Seeley, the carousel operator, has always been up for anything, but she's decidedly not on board when it comes to Lou's quest to set her up with the perfect girl or Lou's scheme to get close to Nick. And it turns out that this will be their last summer at Magic Castle Playland—ever—unless she can find a way to stop it from closing. Jennifer Dugan's sparkling debut coming-of-age queer romance stars a princess, a pirate, a hot dog, and a carousel operator who find love—and themselves—in unexpected people and unforgettable places.

      Hot Dog Girl
    • From the author of Some Girls Do and Hot Dog Girl comes a sweet and salty queer YA rom-com about two girls on a summer road trip in an ice cream truck. Fallon is Type A, looks before she leaps, and always has a plan (and a backup plan). Chloe is happy-go-lucky, flies by the seat of her pants, and always follows her bliss. The two girls used to be best friends, but last summer they hooked up right before Chloe left for college, and after a series of misunderstandings, they aren’t even speaking to each other. A year later, Chloe’s back home from school, and Fallon is doing everything in her power to avoid her. Which is especially difficult because their moms own a business together—a gourmet ice cream truck where both girls work. When a meeting with some promising potential investors calls their parents away at the last minute, it’s up to Fallon to work a series of important food truck festivals across the country. But she can’t do it alone, and Chloe is the only one available to help. Tensions heat up again between the two girls as they face a few unexpected detours—and more than a little roadside attraction. But maybe, just maybe, the best things in life can’t always be planned.
