All the Bright Places: A Story of Love, Loss, and Finding Yourself

An Unforgettable Tale of Two Teens on the Edge

This New York Times bestseller, described by Entertainment Weekly as "sparkling" and a story that "get[s] under your skin," is a heart-wrenching and unflinching exploration of love, loss, and the resilience of the human spirit.

Get ready to be captivated by the story of Theodore Finch and Violet Markey, two teenagers who find solace and connection in each other while facing their own personal demons.

Theodore Finch: A Boy Haunted by Death

Theodore Finch is a complex character who is deeply fascinated by death. He constantly contemplates suicide, yet simultaneously seeks out the beauty and wonder in life. He struggles with his inner demons, but manages to find reasons to keep going, to stay alive, and to experience the world with intensity.

Violet Markey: Grieving and Searching for a Future

Violet Markey is consumed by grief after the tragic death of her sister. She counts down the days until graduation, dreaming of escaping her small town and the painful memories that haunt her. Her life is a series of routines and rituals, a shield against the raw emotions that threaten to overwhelm her.

A Chance Encounter with Life-Changing Consequences

Their paths collide on the ledge of the school's bell tower, six stories above the ground. In this moment of shared vulnerability, they find a connection that transcends their individual struggles. Finch helps Violet to see the beauty in the present, encouraging her to embrace life rather than simply enduring it. Violet, in turn, becomes a beacon of hope for Finch, reminding him of the reasons to keep fighting.

A Love Story That Will Stay with You Long After You Finish the Book

As their bond strengthens, Violet’s world expands, while Finch’s begins to shrink. This poignant contrast highlights the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing each moment.

**Prepare to be moved by a story that is both heartbreaking and hopeful. "All the Bright Places" is a testament to the power of love, the resilience of the human spirit, and the importance of finding beauty in even the darkest of times.**

<p>From James Dashner, the author of the 1 New York Times bestselling Maze Runner series, which includes The Maze Runner—now a 1 movie worldwide—and The Scorch Trials—soon to be a major motion picture from Twentieth Century Fox that hits theaters on September 18, 2015—comes an all-new, edge-of-your seat adventure.&nbsp;The Eye of Minds is the first novel in the Mortality Doctrine series set in a world of hyperadvanced technology, cyberterrorists, and gaming beyond your wildest dreams . . . and your worst nightmares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Michael is a gamer. And like most gamers, he almost spends more time on the VirtNet than in the actual world. The VirtNet offers total mind and body immersion, and the more hacking skills you have, the more fun. Why bother following the rules when most of them are dumb, anyway?

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But some rules were made for a reason. Some technology is too dangerous to fool with. And one gamer has been doing exactly that, with murderous results.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The government knows that to catch a hacker, you need a hacker. And they’ve been watching Michael. If he accepts their challenge, Michael will need to go off the VirtNet grid to the back alleys and corners of the system human eyes have never seen—and there’s the possibility that the line between game and reality will be blurred forever.

Charlotte Davis is in pieces. At seventeen she's already lost more than most people do in a lifetime. But she's learned how to forget. The broken glass washes away the sorrow until there is nothing but calm. You don't have to think about your father and the river. Your best friend, who is gone forever. Or your mother, who has nothing left to give you.&nbsp;

Every new scar hardens Charlie's heart just a little more, yet it still hurts so much. It hurts enough to not care anymore, which is sometimes what has to happen before you can find your way back from the edge.&nbsp;

A deeply moving portrait of a girl in a world that owes her nothing, and has taken so much, and the journey she undergoes to put herself back together. Kathleen Glasgow's debut is heartbreakingly real and unflinchingly honest. It's a story you won't be able to look away from.</p>

<p>Shiori'anma, the only princess of Kiata, has a secret. Forbidden magic runs through her veins. Normally she conceals it well, but on the morning of her betrothal ceremony, Shiori loses control.

<p>A sorceress in her own right, Raikama banishes the young princess, turning her brothers into cranes. She warns Shiori that she must speak of it to no one: for with every word that escapes her lips, one of her brothers will die.</p>

<p>Penniless, voiceless, and alone, Shiori searches for her brothers, and uncovers a dark conspiracy to seize the throne. Only Shiori can set the kingdom to rights, but to do so she must place her trust in a paper bird, a mercurial dragon, and the very boy she fought so hard not to marry. And she must embrace the magic she's been taught all her life to forswear--no matter what the cost.</p>
