Krystal Sutherland – författare

John Green meets Rainbow Rowell in this irresistible story of first love, broken hearts, and the golden seams that put them back together again. Henry Page has never been in love. He fancies himself a hopeless romantic, but the slo-mo, heart palpitating, can''t-eat-can''t-sleep kind of love that he''s been hoping for just hasn''t been in the cards for him—at least not yet. Instead, he''s been happy to focus on his grades, on getting into a semi-decent college and finally becoming editor of his school newspaper. Then Grace Town walks into his first period class on the third Tuesday of senior year and he knows everything''s about to change. Grace isn''t who Henry pictured as his dream girl—she walks with a cane, wears oversized boys'' clothes, and rarely seems to shower. But when Grace and Henry are both chosen to edit the school paper, he quickly finds himself falling for her. It''s obvious there''s something broken about Grace, but it seems to make her even more beautiful to Henry, and he wants nothing more than to help her put the pieces back together again. And yet, this isn''t your average story of boy meets girl. Krystal Sutherland''s brilliant debut is equal parts wit and heartbreak, a potent reminder of the bittersweet bliss that is first love.From the Hardcover edition.

From the author of Our Chemical Hearts comes the hilarious, reality-bending tale of two outsiders facing their greatest fears about life and love—one debilitating phobia at a time.   Ever since Esther Solar’s grandfather was cursed by Death, everyone in her family has been doomed to suffer one great fear in their lifetime. Esther’s father is agoraphobic and hasn’t left the basement in six years, her twin brother can’t be in the dark without a light on, and her mother is terrified of bad luck.   The Solars are consumed by their fears and, according to the legend of the curse, destined to die from them.   Esther doesn’t know what her great fear is yet (nor does she want to), a feat achieved by avoiding pretty much everything. Elevators, small spaces and crowds are all off-limits. So are haircuts, spiders, dolls, mirrors and three dozen other phobias she keeps a record of in her semi-definitive list of worst nightmares.   Then Esther is pickpocketed by Jonah Smallwood, an old elementary school classmate. Along with her phone, money and a fruit roll-up she’d been saving, Jonah also steals her list of fears. Despite the theft, Esther and Jonah become friends, and he sets a challenge for them: in an effort to break the curse that has crippled her family, they will meet every Sunday of senior year to work their way through the list, facing one terrifying fear at a time, including one that Esther hadn’t counted on: love.

Iris, Grey y Vivi Hollow son tres hermanas incuestionablemente extrañas. Cuando eran niñas, desaparecieron en una calle de Edimburgo y regresaron un mes más tarde sin recordar lo sucedido. A partir de ese momento comenzaron a experimentar cambios espeluznantes. Primero, su cabello oscuro se volvió blanco. Luego, sus ojos azules se tornaron negros. Y aunque nunca aumentan de peso, comen sin mesura, incapaces de aplacar su insaciable apetito. La gente las encuentra insoportablemente bellas, inquietantemente excitantes e inexplicablemente peligrosas.Pero ahora, diez años después, Grey desaparece dejando unas pistas confusas sobre su paradero e Iris y Vivi comienzan su búsqueda. Sin embargo, no son las únicas que están tras ella.
