No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list Everyone knows Libby Strout! She is the girl who once became known as "America's Fattest Teen." But no one has bothered to see beyond her weight. After her mother's death, Libby shut herself in her house trying to cope with her grief and figure out what to do with her fragile father. Now, however, she feels ready for high school, for new friendships, for love, and for every opportunity life has to offer. As for Jack Maslin, everyone knows him too! Or at least they think they do, because Jack has a well-hidden secret: he can't recognize even the most familiar faces. So, while he can manage to rebuild and reprogram any machine, he can't understand the workings of his own mind... When Libby and Jack get caught up in a harsh teenage game, they end up in the school's counseling group. Libby is angry with Jack, and Jack is angry with Libby. But the more time they spend together, the less lonely they feel because sometimes when you get to know someone, it can change the world. Yours and the other's. After All the Bright Places, Jennifer Niven gives us another heartbreaking and captivating love story that talks about what it's like when you find someone who sees you exactly as you are. When Jennifer Niven was little, she wanted to be one of Charlie's Angels, but her true love is writing books. All the Bright Places is her first book for a young audience and was immediately universally accepted both in America (over thirty weeks on the New York Times bestseller list) and worldwide (translated into forty languages and available in over a hundred countries). It has been honored with the title of Best Young Adult Book of 2015 by Goodreads, Time Magazine, NPR, the Guardian, Publisher's Weekly, YALSA, Barnes & Noble, BuzzFeed, the New York Public Library, and more. It has also been shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal and the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize. Jennifer has created Germ (www.germmagazine.com), an online magazine run by high school girls and boys that talks about beginnings, prospects, and all the wonderful and anxious things that happen in between. She lives with her partner and their book cats in Los Angeles. "Niven creates an unbeatable duo of heroes and a stunning story." Publishers Weekly "A thoughtful exploration of identity and self-acceptance." School Library Journal "A story of personal growth and self-esteem." Bookish "Holding Up the Universe is a beautifully written and very true book. It also includes one of my favorite characters of all time: Libby Strout, whom I'm sure you'll fall in love with!" Nicola Yoon, author of the bestseller Everything, Everything "Holding Up the Universe is both funny and heartbreaking, overflowing with love, emotion, and hope. It's a wonderful book, a hymn to life, which will make you want to open your arms wide, lift your face to the sky, and start spinning just like its wonderful heroine, Libby Strout." Kerry Kletter, author of The First Time She Drowned
