The Education of Queenie McBride by
Lyndsey D'Arcangelo
A sequel to "The Trouble With Emily Dickinson," best friends JJ and Queenie are now college freshmen.
Queenie comes from a wealthy family, so she's used to coasting through life. Over privileged and overconfident, she doesn't know what it's like for people who have to work hard to earn things. But when she meets Pudge, a homeless gay teen, her worldview begins to shift. And she gets a real-world education that extends far beyond the classroom.
Luckily, her best friend JJ is there to help keep her in line. With the help of Izzy, a strong-headed and beautiful social worker, Queenie somehow learns how to be there for Pudge, leave her old habits behind and become the person she’s always wanted to be.
Sometimes the most important education happens outside of the classroom. You can’t be there for others if you don’t take care of yourself.

The Trouble With Emily Dickinson by
Lyndsey D'Arcangelo
Josephine Jenkins, better known as JJ, is in her senior year at Sampson
Academy. She’s a closet poet, a talented writer suffering from stage
fright, and she’s committed the ultimate lesbian faux pas — she’s fallen
in love with a straight girl.
Kendal McCarthy is uber popular. She’s
the campus beauty and a cheerleader. Though she may seem to have her
life figured out, she’s still searching for that elusive high school
experience that will help her make sense of herself before she leaves
for college.
When Kendal and JJ inadvertently cross paths, their lives
suddenly become a bit more interesting in ways that neither of them ever
imagined.
Filled with unique and witty banter courtesy of Queenie
McBride, JJ’s over-privileged confidant, this tale of innocent love
exposes the reality of what can happen when two polar opposites collide
in the most unexpected way through the poetry of Emily Dickinson.
