The Devil Wears Prada meets Private Benjamin in this funny and charming story of a fashionista teen blogger who gets sent to military school, perfect for fans of Sarah Mlynowski and Kasie West. Frankie Brooks knows what she wants in life: to become the world’s next great fashion editor. All she needs to do is get into the elite American Fashion Academy in New York City. If she gets in, her life plans will be going right on schedule. Anna Wintour, watch out. But after Frankie messes up one too many times—hey, it’s hard not to prioritize her acclaimed fashion blog above all else—her parents come up with entirely different plans for her future: military school. How is Frankie, the least athletic person in the world, who knows absolutely nothing about the military, going to survive a whole semester at the famed—and feared—Academy? With classmates who seem to be totally uninterested in her, a course load that’s even more difficult than her old school’s, and the weird War Games competition she has to join, Frankie finds that her life is way tougher than it used to be. And no one, including her roommate Joni, seems to understand Frankie at all. As she learns how to cope with impossible military drills and intimidating specialized classes and is maybe even falling for super-hot and super-smart cadet Jack Wattson, can Frankie prove to everyone that being a fashionista doesn’t mean she can’t succeed?

Author Katie Sise spins another fully loaded tale of technology, secrets, and big-time romance in this story of what it takes to be #trulybeautiful. Poor Blake Dawkins! She's rich, she's gorgeous, and she's the queen bee of Harrison High.

Then every high school in America becomes obsessed with posting selfies on the ubiquitous Pretty App. Next: Leo, an adorable transfer student, arrives at Harrison and begins to show Blake that maybe being a queen bee doesn't mean being a queen b*tch. And though Audrey suspects somebody's playing foul, Blake finds herself catapulted to internet fame after being voted one of the prettiest girls in the country. She's whisked away to star in a reality show—in Hollywood, on live TV. But she doesn't know who to trust. Because everybody on the show wants to win. And nobody is there to make friends.

This book discusses how human wellbeing is constructed and transferred intergenerationally in the context of international migration. Research on intergenerational transmission (IGT) has tended to focus on material asset transfers prompting calls to balance material asset analysis with that of psychosocial assets – including norms, values attitudes and behaviors. Drawing on empirical research undertaken with Latin American migrants in London, Katie Wright sets out to redress the balance by examining how far psychosocial transfers may be used as a buffer to mediate the material deprivations that migrants face via adoption of a gender, life course and human wellbeing perspective.

Audrey McCarthy est une geek de terminale. Il y a trois ans, son père est mort dans un accident. Avant ce tragique événement, elle avait plutôt la cote, était meilleure copine avec Blake (la fille ultra populaire du lycée), tout allait bien. Audrey a bien sûr eu du mal à se remettre de la mort de son père, et à présent, elle traîne avec les accros d’informatique, c’est-à-dire que niveau popularité, elle peut repasser. Et sa vie sentimentale n’est pas non plus à son summum. C’est alors qu’on annonce la tenue d’un grand concours qui récompensera l’élève qui saura créer l’app la plus novatrice. Le gagnant se verra offrir une bourse d’études pour aller dans l’université de son choix. En cherchant l’appli la plus novatrice à créer, elle arrive rapidement à l’idée d’élaborer un programme qui permettrait de définir l’homme idéal de l’utilisatrice et de l’informer dès que ce dernier se trouve à proximité. Mais les choses ne vont pas se passer comme Audrey l’avait prévu, et il semble que trouver un nouveau copain ne soit pas aussi facile que de télécharger une nouvelle app !
