Ellie Kobata has spent most of high school on the sidelines, keeping her art Instagram private and shying away from the world. She can’t even tell her only friend, Lia, who she really is: Ellie is part of a secret magical community, and no one outside of it can know it exists. The only person Ellie could fully relate to was Jack Yasuda – her childhood friend who mysteriously started to snub her a few years ago. But before senior year, Ellie is ready to take some risks and have a life-changing summer, starting with her Anti-Wallflower List – thirteen items she’s going to check off one by one. With this list, she hopes to finally come out of her shell; even though she can’t share her full self with the world. But when number four on Ellie’s list goes horribly wrong—revenge on Jack Yasuda—she’s certain her summer is cursed. Instead of spending her summer with Lia, Ellie finds herself stuck in a car with Jack driving to a magical convention. But as Ellie and Jack travel down the coast of California, number thirteen on her list—fall in love—may be happening without her realizing it. In The Charmed List, Julie Abe sweeps readers away to a secret magical world, complete with cupcakes and tea with added sparks of joy, and an enchanted cottage where you can dance under the stars.

They're very much alive, and her oldest brother will absolutely assume the throne. Once he becomes a little less feathered . . . and beaky. The trouble is, that requires Wren to fulfill the terms of the curse that transformed her brothers into swans—which means she can't speak a word to a living soul. For six years. Prince Basil wants to become king at eighteen about as much as he wants to inherit the war that's burdened his kingdom for six long years. With the death of his father, he's determined to ignore all advice and reach out to their enemies for an armistice. Even if there's no one to negotiate with except the kingdom's silent, timid crown princess. After all, there must be more to her than meets the eye . . . otherwise the dragons Basil regards as friends wouldn't take such an interest in her. But other forces are at work, ones with no desire to see the war end. If Wren and Basil want to save their people, they'll have to learn to trust each other. Because the only way to uncover their true enemies might be to embrace the ones they thought they knew."
