The High School 'Royalty' Want To Stop The New Girl In School. A Feel Good Young Adult Novel. Read A Free Sample Of The Queen Bee Of Bridgeton Without Leaving Your Browser!

Don't miss Planet iPad Free Book alert, replete with the literary spectrum from Tolstoy's War And Peace to a short about a vampire who faints and the sight of blood...28 new titles since yesterday!

Here's the set-up for Leslie DuBois' The Queen Bee Of Bridgeton, just 99 Cents on Kindle:

When fifteen-year-old Sonya Garrison is accepted into the prestigious Bridgeton Academy, she soon discovers that rich girls are just as dangerous as the thugs in her home of Venton Heights. Maybe more so. 

After catching the eye of the star, white basketball player and unwittingly becoming the most popular girl in school, she earns the hatred of the three most ruthless and vindictive girls at Bridgeton. 

Can she defeat the reigning high school royalty? Or will they succeed in ruining her lifelong dream of becoming a world class dancer?

From the reviewers:

The Queen Bee of Bridgeton (Dancing Queen #1) by Leslie DuBois was a feel good YA novel. Fifteen year old Sonya Garrison attends the private school Bridgeton Academy and longs to be a famous dancer. She is bullied continuously by girls at her school. Through the novel, she becomes involved with a basketball player and becomes instantly popular. With the ways things are nowadays in schools with bullying, this novel hit it on the head. Loved it. 

I like it that it's told from a black girl's perspective. Most of the novels I read are told from a white character's perspective, and as much as I enjoy those novels, it's nice to read something that's not about someone who is the same ethnicity as myself.

He Was White, She Was Black And In The Sixties That Meant Big Trouble. Read A Free Sample Of Our eBook Of The Day, Ain't No Sunshine Without Leaving Your Browser!

Here's the set-up for Leslie DuBois' Ain't No Sunshine, just $0.99 on the Kindle:

Summertime in Virginia, in the turbulent Sixties.  Race relations grow more strained.  Stephen's father is murdered, and the boy is pulled over by police 700 miles away from the scene of the crime. A broken taillight causes the pullover.  The fact that Stephen's girl friend is in the car complicates things.  The fact that Stephen is white and she is black really complicates them.

WHITES ONLY

Those words adorned every building in Livingston, Virginia during the summer of 1963, confusing and angering a five-year-old Stephen Phillips. 

Those words told Stephen that what he felt for his colored neighbor Ruthie was wrong.

 As he grows older, Ruthie becomes the only ray of sunshine in his abusive life and he is not willing to let her go without a fight, a fight that could lead to murder.

From the reviewers:

The title of this story comes from the Bill Withers song: 

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone. 

It's not warm when she's away. 

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone 

And she's always gone too long anytime she goes away. 

I didn't think I would like this story because I knew it would be full of misery and pain. Well, it was, but the ending was surprisingly beautiful! I loved it!

This is a story of racism, love, and secrets from the past all colliding in one couple's lives. 

This story contains a lot of pain but leaves you with hope at the end. Not necessarily justice, but definitely with hope. 

The author holds no punches in her writing. She writes about ugly subjects most people would prefer to hide, including the characters in this story. The father is abusive, the son is in love with the mulatto neighbor girl, and the passion and anger in the book grow until it explodes. 

Editor's note:  And the next review, not written in the King's English but with a heartfelt eloquence that cannot--and should not--be ignored:

love this so deep what i learn in this book love has no color when you love someone you should them. great read fast to i will buy book again fromm this author
