Summary

A riveting debut that combines the relentless immediacy of Thirteen Reasons Why with the can't-look-away drama of TV shows like Biggest Loser. 
 
A  lonely obese boy everyone calls "Butter" is about to make history. He  is going to eat himself to death-live on the Internet-and everyone is  invited to watch. When he first makes the announcement online to his  classmates, Butter expects pity, insults, and possibly sheer  indifference. What he gets are morbid cheerleaders rallying around his  deadly plan. Yet as their dark encouragement grows, it begins to feel a  lot like popularity. And that feels good. But what happens when Butter  reaches his suicide deadline? Can he live with the fallout if he doesn't  go through with his plans?  
 
With a deft hand, Erin Jade Lange  allows readers to identify with both the bullies and the bullied in this  all-consuming look at one teen's battle with himself.

    In the second book in the Time After Time series our favourite time-travelling best friends are back!
What if something happened long ago that still makes you sad? Graham is Molly and Beth's favourite uncle, so they really want to help him fix the past – and since the girls know of a mysterious door that can take them back in time, maybe they can! But how can they find who they're looking for without apps or social media? And what will the girls make of the 60s, where the hairstyles are wild, the slang is weird and no one's heard of ciabatta?
And can they help Graham fix a friendship that was destroyed back in 1960? The girls soon discover that fun with friends is just the same whatever time you live in and that real friendship lasts forever – even when you're apart.
This is an exciting story about time-travel, family, friendship and love.
