Dear Jade by Danielle Keil Everyone at Ryder High knows what it means to have a teal envelope taped to their locker on the first day of the month. Jade Rose knows. She just doesn’t care. The Secret Admirers game goes against every feminist notion she stands for. It’s old fashioned, misogynistic, and too mainstream for her. That is, until she gets a teal envelope. And finds out that she and her secret admirer have a few things in common already. Her acceptance may have been accidental, but when the clues start coming in the form of movies to watch, she gets sucked in quick. Will Jade and her friends be able to narrow down their list of suspects and figure out who is behind the camera?

The Facade by Judy Corry Everyone has three lives. A public life, a private life, and a secret life. I’m a junior in high school, and yet, I’ve never been on a date. Everybody says it's because my overprotective brothers scare all the guys away, but I can't help wondering if there's something wrong with me. That is, until I hear a rumor that I’m secretly dating my brothers’ best friend. What? Sure, I used to think Mack was the most perfect guy in the universe, but I got over that crush years ago. And even though he teases my brothers about taking me to Make-Out Point, there’s no way he’d actually make good on that threat. I’ve only ever been the dorky girl next door to him. But when Mack’s sleepwalking episodes lead him to staying a few nights on the trundle bed in my room and we talk and share things we never tell anyone else, I start to wonder if a secret relationship is exactly what I want. My brothers have made it clear that Mack is never allowed near me....
