› Find signed collectible books: 'Gingerbread'Book summary:"I have promised to be a model citizen daughter....I have confined my Shrimp time to making out with him in the Java the Hut supply closet and quick feels on the cold hard sand at the beach during our breaks, but enough is enough....Delia and I are planning a party at Wallace and Shrimp's house and I am spending the night whether Sid and Nancy notice or not. I will be as wild as I wanna be."
After being kicked out of a fancy New England boarding school, Cyd Charisse is back home in San Francisco with her parents, Sid and Nancy, in a household that drives her crazy. Lucky for Cyd, she's always had Gingerbread, her childhood rag doll and confidante.
After Cyd tests her parents' permissiveness, she is grounded in Alcatraz (as Cyd calls her room) and forbidden to see Shrimp, her surfer boyfriend. But when her incarceration proves too painful for the whole family, Cyd's parents decide to send her to New York to meet her biological father and his family, whom Cyd has always longed to know.
Summer in the city is not what Cyd Charisse expects -- and Cyd isn't what her newfound family expects, either.
With Gingerbread, debut author Rachel Cohn creates a spirited world of in-your-face characters who are going to stay with readers for a long time. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Shrimp'Book summary:With Shrimp, pop culture wordsmith Rachel Cohn successfully resurrects Cyd Charisse, the irrepressible punk princess from her breakout hit, Gingerbread. C.C. is back from an emotional summer in NYC where she met her biological father for the first time and nursed her karmic wounds after a messy breakup with her short-statured surfer boyfriend, Shrimp. Now, it is the start of senior year in San Francisco, and C.C. is determined to get the surfer boy of her dreams back. She is aided and abetted by new friends, Helen and Autumn, and "old" girlfriend, sunny octogenarian Sugar Pie. When Cyd's cool half-sib Danny invites her back to NYC for a long weekend, will C.C.'s turn eastward--away from Shrimp's surfer dreams?
Shrimp's bright cover belies the frank, sexy narrative within that is definitely not for the tween audience of Cohn's middle-grade novel, The Steps. But older teen fans are going to love guessing what their unapologetic, espresso- and Nestle Crunch bar-addicted antiheroine will do next. Are Shrimp and C.C. destined to move in together after graduation? Or will Shrimp's brother's wedding give them second thoughts? Whatever happens, Cyd Charisse is convinced that "at the end of the road, there will always be a Shrimp." Cohn's Shrimp is a witty, sparkling sequel that was definitely worth the wait. --Jennifer Hubert
Amazon.com Exclusive Content
In this exclusive essay, author Rachel Cohn tells Amazon.com readers why she decided to write a sequel to her wildly popular novel, Gingerbread, how she "hears" from Cyd, and what she thinks of Shrimp. Enjoy!
Why Shrimp? by Rachel Cohn
When authors are lucky (or mildly disturbed you be the judge), character voices speak to them when theyre least expecting it. This is what Cyd Charisse does to me. She wakes me up from deep sleeps to narrate commune fantasies; she accosts me on the subway to rummage through the deep well of my purse for a notepad and pen to jot down her observations on the Manhattan freak experience; she makes me use up frequent flyer miles for jaunts to San Francisco to savor her favorite dim sum.
I knew when I finished writing her story in Gingerbread that she and I were not finished it was just a question of when she would decide to kidnap my attention again. She was helped along the way by a bounty of readers writing to me to demand to know if Cyd Charisse and her true love, Shrimp, would find their way back to each other. But CC, like her author, needed some time and maturity before she could figure that one out.
Of course, when Cyd Charisse was ready, she demanded to be heard. She did not want a sequel that basically played out the same issues as her first book. She wanted a new story that could stand on its own independent, like CC herself. In Gingerbread, shed earned a peace dividend with her family, and come into some hard-won maturity too. She and I both wanted to see how this peace and maturity would play out within the framework of her senior year of high school, that crucial and vulnerable time in teenagers lives before they are flung out into the world on their own.
Cyd Charisse let me know in no uncertain terms that however long it took, she was determined to reclaim Shrimp. But Shrimp had complications of his own. Hed returned from his summer away from San Francisco with new appendages called parents, who brought new stress to his mellow mentality. He was struggling through his own issues, not necessarily ready to bounce back into a relationship with hyper-girl CC.
Shrimp and Cyd Charisses relationship needed its own maturity, for them to rediscover each other as friends, in order for romance to blossom again. This time out, their matured relationship could actually be harder to navigate: they needed to move past the infatuation of their first romance and truly get to know and understand one another as individuals. (And of course, theres the small matter of CCs crush on her true loves brother to deal with.)
Cyd Charisse is her own force of nature, never shy about her feelings or motivations. Shrimp, however, may prove more elusive. Whether theyre able to work through their complications and complicated personalities to find their way back to each other well, CC is bursting to tell, and you can read Shrimp to find out!

› Find signed collectible books: 'Two Steps Forward'Book summary:Four stepsiblings from two opposite sides of the world are sharing a summer together in one strange city: Los Angeles.
NYC fashionista girl Annabel is determined to hate LA, where her dad and his family have relocated. But just when Annabel thinks her summer is beyond ruined, she gets a surprise from Down Under . . . and let's just say he's a good kisser.
Lucy misses her home country, Australia, but thinks LA isn't so bad after all. If she could only get her stepsister Annabel on board to loving LA too -- and get that weird Wheaties boy to stop staring at her!
Wheaties, boy-genius, doesn't mind where he's spending the summer, so long as lovable Lucy is nearby. He's trying not to worry about how his dad and stepmother's marriage problems will affect his living situation. And he'd really like to know the secret of that Ben dude's swoony appeal to the girls.
Ben, the Aussie athlete god, would rather be spending his school break playing footy with his mates back in Melbourne. He'd also really rather not have his dad's loud girlfriend sharing their American vacation. And he'd definitely like to know how he got interested in the pretty Annabel girl all over again.
Told from the alternating points of view of Annabel, Lucy, Wheaties, and Ben, Two Steps Forward is funny and genuine -- and shows how love can create all kinds of families.

› Find signed collectible books: 'You Know Where to Find Me'Book summary:Miles has spent almost her entire life in the shadow of her first cousin Laura. Laura is completely overprivileged--smart, gorgeous, and a student at a prep school outside of D.C. Miles is overweight, anti-social, and lives with her mom in the carriage house on her uncle's property. As far as Miles is concerned, Laura has the perfect life--until she commits suicide, leaving her dad Jim and Miles lost in the wake of the event. Miles already feels like she has no future--she was planning to drop out of school--and now she has no one. Her best friend, Jamal, is dating Bex, one of Laura's annoying friends, and Miles's mother jets off to London for the summer, leaving her with her virtual-stranger dad, Buddy. When Miles finds out that her mother isn't planning to return and Jamal tells Miles that he and Bex are planning to move to NYC, Miles hits rock bottom and overdoses on drugs. She almost dies--just like Laura did. But with the help of Jim, Buddy, Jamal, and even Bex, Miles gains the strength to face her situation and accept help. This is a forceful, emotional story about finding love and cobbling together a family. [via]
