More about the books:
Skinny
Skinny is the vicious voice that lives inside 15-year-old Ever Davies's head. Ever knows she weighs over three hundred pounds, knows she'll probably never be loved, and Skinny makes sure she never forgets it. Partly in the hopes of trying out for the school musical—and partly to try and save her own life—Ever decides to undergo a risky surgery that may help her lose weight and start over.

Through to You
Camden Pike has been grief-stricken since his girlfriend, Viv, died. And now, he'd give anything for one more glimpse of her. But when Cam makes a visit to the site of Viv's deadly car accident, he sees some kind of apparition. The apparition's name is Nina, and she's a girl from a parallel world, and in this world, Viv is still alive. But things are different in this other world, and Viv isn't the same girl Cam remembers.

Send Me a Sign
Mia is always looking for signs. One sign she didn't expect to look for was: "Will I survive cancer?" It's an answer her friends would never understand, prompting Mia to keep her illness a secret. Mia is determined to survive, but when you have so much going your way, there is so much more to lose. This is a heart-wrenching and ultimately uplifting story of one girl's search for signs of life in the face of death.

The Space Between
Daphne waits in Pandemonium, a city in Hell, wondering what lies in store for her. Will she become a soulless demon, or follow in her brother Obie's footsteps, saving lost souls on Earth? But when Obie saves a boy named Truman and then goes missing, Daphne is sent on a mission to Earth with Truman. As they search for Obie, they discover what it means to love and be human in a world where human is the hardest thing to be.
