School Societies

Twelve-year-old Ethan Tiller thought janitor duty was the worst punishment imaginable—until the mop sneezed. Now, armed with nothing but a talking broom, a suspicious badge, and an overworked mentor named Mr. Dregg, Ethan finds himself swept into the underground world of the Secret Society of Middle School Janitors. These aren’t your average custodians—they battle glue monsters, decode encrypted floor wax, and fend off robo-roaches with citrus-based foam grenades. But something darker is bubbling beneath Lincoln Middle School’s shiny floors. Vaults are being breached. Legendary ...

This box set includes both books in the Marshall High Society duology. A drama-filled, twisting Dark High School Bully Romance ALL in one series bundle. Three powerful families. Three privileged sons. Roman, Ethan, and Klay are dark, devilish, delicious, each in their own way. I shouldn't even be on their radar, but they've marked me. I don't know why. I can't remember the last two years. A mental breakdown, they tell me, after both my parents died. I just want a fresh start to my senior year, a normal life, a graduation. But those three untouchables own Marshall High, and they're fighting...

I should have died. Sometimes I wish I did. At least then I wouldn’t be alone. After my parents’ divorce, my mom moved on with her yoga-teaching boyfriend and my dad threw himself into work, leaving me to figure out how to navigate my new reality on my own. Transitioning from an all-girls school in Malibu to the elite Arlington Park Academy in the suburbs of Chicago means more changes than I can handle. I feel like I’m drowning, losing myself…craving the sense of belonging I lost. Then the overly enthusiastic class president and my next-door neighbor, Emily, claims me as her new ...

Could anything be worse than your parents choosing your wife, especially when she’s a snooty royal? Ask me. I should know. Every Wed Season, eligible singles step up to the plate. It’s my turn. I’d rather go down with the ship but I have traditions to uphold. I’ll do what’s expected of me. Until the girl from my past shows up. Did I mention she’s a princess? She’s not my match. In fact, she’s off limits. But I’ll make her mine. Tradition and high society be damned.

From preschool to higher education and everything in between, Everything I Learned About Racism I Learned in School focuses on the experiences Black and Brown students face as a direct result of the racism built into schools across the United States. The overarching nonfiction narrative follows author Tiffany Jewell from early elementary school through her time at college, unpacking the history of systemic racism in the American educational system along the way.

Is there such a thing as truth? What about trust? How much hurt can one person survive? I’ve opened my heart and had it ripped out, stomped on, and even drowned. It’s taking everything in me not to curl in on myself and let the world fade away. No one should have to go through the pain I have. The only thing keeping me from slipping under is the love the guys have shown me. They’re the only ones I know I can depend on. At least, I hope so. I found something. Something that changes everything. I don’t know if The Society is what I think it is. Can I tell the guys, or are they in on ...

I have a secret. Several actually. Only the guys know who I really am. I finally know the truth about my family, but now I have even more questions. The only people that can answer them are Luca, Skyler, Noah, Vince, and Gavin. They’ve introduced me to a world I never imagined existed. One that comes at a cost. One I can’t tell anyone else about. I’m balancing two lives. Sometimes I’m a normal teen, getting ready for the homecoming dance and falling for my gorgeous boyfriend. The rest of the time, I’m sneaking around and answering to The Society. When everything falls apart, the ...

Three powerful families. Three privileged sons. Roman, Ethan, and Klay are dark, devilish, delicious, each in their own way. I shouldn't even be on their radar, but they've marked me. I don't know why. I can't remember the last two years. A mental breakdown, they tell me, after both my parents died. I just want a fresh start to my senior year, a normal life, a graduation. But those three untouchables own Marshall High, and they're fighting over me. Not in a pretty way. They want to own me, control me, use me for their twisted schemes. The last one is the worst. Cold, cruel, beautiful Klay. ...

I've been lied to, lied about, and lived a lie. I've been beaten and broken. I'm done being the victim. I trusted the wrong people. I let them into my life, my heart, and they turned on me. In one moment, my life changed. I know whom I can count on and who truly cares about me. My guys. Each day the attacks turn more personal. It started with the football team, but now the entire school seems to have something to say about me. I want to be strong, but each word feels like a punch. Not even my own home is the escape I need it to be. Fans of B.L Brunnemer & Autumn Reed will love this slow-...

A handful of sixth-graders have been chosen to attend an exclusive weekend at the Octagon Valley Institute, the mysterious, high-tech lab of the uber famous multimillionaire, genius, recluse Onassander Octagon. What will they do there? No one is telling. Which just makes everyone want to get in. Edwin has high hopes for the weekend—hopes he’ll meet other kids like him—kids who will accept him even though he’s got a photographic memory, genius level math skills and some very specific personality quirks. But when he meets the other kids, he starts to wonder if they’re all in the right place.

The more answers I get, the more questions I have. only know one thing for certain. I need my guys. All of them. I let myself get comfortable. I found a rhythm and thought life might actually calm down for a while. That I might find a new normal, but the Society needs something from me. My guys tell me I can trust them, their parents, and the organization they belong to. My mom’s journal says I can’t. There’s no time to hesitate. No time to overthink. I have to do what I’ve been asked. This is bigger than me or my guys. There’s more at stake than I could have ever realized. Fans ...

Benjamin Pratt’s school is about to become the site of a new amusement park. It sounds like a dream come true! But lately, Ben has been wondering if he’s going to like an amusement park in the middle of his town—with all the buses and traffic and eight-dollar slices of pizza. It’s going to change everything. And, Ben is not so big on all the new changes in his life....

When a high school student started a private Instagram account that used racist and sexist memes to make his friends laugh, he thought of it as “edgy” humor. Over time, the edge got sharper. Then a few other kids found out about the account. Pretty soon, everyone knew. Ultimately no one in the small town of Albany, California, was safe from the repercussions of the account’s discovery. Not the girls targeted by the posts. Not the boy who created the account. Not the group of kids who followed it. Not the adults—educators and parents—whose attempts to fix things too often made them worse.

My heart is split in five. The future I want feels impossible. I can’t hold back. Not anymore. Every step forward is followed by a hard shove ten feet back. I want things to work with the guys, all of them, but keeping the sun from setting seems easier and more likely to happen. Just when I think we’re making progress, the Society steps in and once again messes things up, giving the guys something else to fight over. They say the best things in life are free. I don’t believe that for a second. I just have to hope the price isn’t too high. Nothing Left to Hide is the sixth book in ...

So much beauty. So much hate. Vicious. Cruel. Horrible. All of them. Billionaire daddies. Trust fund babies. Teachers desperate to win their favor. I’m a nobody. Just another scholarship kid who doesn’t deserve to be here. Too bad for them, I’m no stranger to struggle. I live and breathe pain. I'm not afraid to fight. Grayson, head jerk and poor excuse for a decent human being, is the first person I’ve met who sees who I truly am. That scares the hell out of me. I don’t trust him. I don’t trust anyone. And I definitely don’t trust that he won’t hurt me. I still can’t help ...

I had love and lost it. I don’t want that pain again. I have to make a choice. All I wanted was a week off from the drama. I should have known better than to think we could pretend to be normal when we’re anything but. The Society is more than an organization. It’s a lifestyle and it’s time I accept that. The life I want is within reach, but there are consequences I’ll have to face. I wish it was as simple as telling them what I want, but it’s not only my life that will change. Someone is going to have to make a sacrifice, but who? How long can I toe the line before I have to ...

Critical theory emerged in the 1920s from the work of the Frankfurt School, the circle of German-Jewish academics who sought to diagnose—and, if at all possible, cure—the ills of society, particularly fascism and capitalism. In this book, Stephen Eric Bronner provides sketches of leading representatives of the critical tradition (such as George Lukács and Ernst Bloch, Theodor Adorno and Walter Benjamin, Herbert Marcuse and Jurgen Habermas) as well as many of its seminal texts and empirical investigations.

When enemies love and lovers hate. Damian's back in my life, and he's here to save me. I should be thrilled. He's everything that Grayson's not: caring and willing to stand up for me in every way. So why is my body a traitor? My heart, too? Grayson's poison to me, but I can't let him go. Because something's not adding up. I can't shake the feeling that everyone's a liar. They're all hiding secrets. They're all trying to get something from me. Pain or pleasure. Maybe both. I can't trust anyone, not even myself. Because I don't know what I want. Or maybe I do, and that's the problem. Warning:...
