Broken things
An unforgettable, mesmerizing tale of exquisite obsession, spoiled innocence, and impossible friendships. It's been five years since Summer Marks was brutally murdered in the woods. Everyone thinks Mia and Brynn killed their best friend. That, driven by their obsession with a novel called The Way into Lovelorn, the three girls had imagined themselves into the magical world where their fantasies became twisted, even deadly. The only thing is: they didn't do it. On the anniversary of Summer's death, a seemingly insignificant discovery resurrects the mystery and pulls Mia and Brynn back together once again. But as the lines begin to blur between past and present and fiction and reality, the girls must confront what really happened in the woods all those years ago--no matter how monstrous.

A Radical Future: Gender and Science Fiction in Contemporary Korean Literature
Short stories included in the literary magazine Azalea, such as \"Road Kill\" by Park Min-kyu and \"Art and the Acceleration of Gravity\" by Bae Myung Hoon, may qualify as SF-a promising start-but even taken all together, these works did not predict the burgeoning, robust interest in the genre we see today. In less than the five years since my encounter with a disillusioned SF fan in my course, science fiction has become the most popular genre in South Korean literature,4 and as a feminist literary scholar with little knowledge of SF, I was drawn to how this new popularity is led by women writers and a new generation of women readers who are known as \"young feminists\" in their 20s. [...]what is the significance of this phenomenon in the history of South Korean women's literature? Gender role reversal (the ship's captain is a woman) and gestures toward gender fluidity through the robot Bubs (Ŏptong-i in the original)6 added a bridge to feminist elements found in Korean science fiction that will be explored later in this paper. [...]with or without the marketing power of the film or drama series, both science and speculative fiction by a young generation of South Korean writers-the majority of them women-have been leading bestsellers in the print book market for the last several years, a phenomenon reflected in recent English translations of Korean SF and speculative fiction including On Origin of Species and Other Stories (2021) and I am Waiting For You (2021) both by Kim Boyoung (b.1973); Readymade Boddhisattva: The Kaya Anthology of South Korean Science Fiction (2019); and Cursed Bunny (2021) by Chung Bora (Chŏng Pora, b.1976), to name just a few. Along with articles on scientific knowledge, futuristic, apocalyptic, and fictional works with scientific themes by writers like Han Nagwŏn (1924-2007) were serialized in magazines for young adults (Zur 191-214),8 and as Ko Changwŏn's article explains, the target audience for SF- including occasional translations of foreign works-was limited to children and young adults until the 1990s (Ko 231).

Writing Books that Hold Up, from Pay Phones to Cell Phones: An Interview with YA Suspense Novelist Lois Duncan
Several more of her books have been made into movies, and she has won numerous regional and national awards, including the distinguished American Library Association's Margaret A. Edwards Award for her diverse and extensive body of writing for young people.

(1992), of all her books the one she most considers a work of love. A vengeful act committed by the girls in the book - shaving a boy's head - which had seemed \"a horrible thing to do to a boy when the book was first written, would seem like nothing today. [...]I had to provide my characters with such things as computers, digital cameras, and cell phones.
