This is the first book in a series and the next two are below. I have read this one and book two. So I will only give you the information on this book . The Series is The Gordon Family Saga
Eleven-year-old Dewey Kerrigan is on her way to live with her father who's working on a government project for the war, in a place that doesn't officially exist. When she gets there, she discovers that everything in Los Alamos is top-secret-especially the mysterious "gadget" her father is building with other top mathematicians and scientists. Dewey is happy to experiment by herself, taking machines apart and inventing new ones. But one girl just won't leave her alone-Suze Gordon, a building artist who's as much of a misfit as Dewey. When the two of them have t join forces, neither of them likes it. But together, they start to discover just how much the gadget will change everything-the war, their families, and their future.

This is the first book in the Uncommoners series.
I have read this book and hoping to continue on with the series.
Not long after policemen armed with toilet brushes appear at their door, Ivy Sparrow and her older brother, Seb, go tumbling into a world unlike their own. Welcome to Lundinor, the secret underground city where uncommon buttons can mend headaches, uncommon bells chime in to offer directions, and uncommon vacuum cleaners are perfect if you need to make a clean getaway-which Ivy usually does!
But life in Lundinor isn't all charmed. The town is tormented by an evil guild called the Dirge that has kidnapped Ivy and Seb's parents. To get them back, Ivy must race to uncover the greatest uncommon treasure of them all...if only she knew what she was looking for.
I have read this book and really enjoyed it.
When she arrives at the famed Barbizon Hotel in 1952, secretarial school enrollment in hand, Darby McLaughlin is everything her modeling agency hall mates aren't: plain, self-conscious, homesick, and utterly convinced she doesn't belong. Yet when Darby befriends Esme, a Barbizon maid, she's introduced to an entirely new side of New York City: seedy jazz clubs where the music is as addictive as the heroin that's used there, the startling sounds of bebop, and even the possibility of romance.
More than half a century later, the Barbizon's gone condo and most of its long-ago guests are forgotten. But rumors of Darby's involvement in a deadly skirmish with a hotel maid back in 1952 haunt the halls of the building as surely as the melancholy music that floats from the elderly woman's rent-controlled apartment. It's a combination too intoxicating for journalist Rose Lewin, Darby's upstairs neighbor, to resist-not to mention the perfect distraction from her own imploding personal life. Yet as Rose's obsession deepens, the ethics of her investigation become increasingly murky, and neither woman will remain unchanged when the shocking truth is finally revealed.
Still Me By: JoJo Moyes
Still Me By: JoJo Moyes
This is the final book in the Me Before You series. I haven't read this series yet because I was waiting to get all the books. I will give you the synopsis of the first book.
Louisa Clark is an ordinary girl living an exceedingly ordinary life-steady boyfriend, close family-who has barely been farther afield than her tiny village. She takes a badly needed job working for ex-Master of the Universe Will Traynor, who is wheelchair-bound after an accident. Will has always lived a huge life-big deals, extreme sports, worldwide travel-and he is not interested in exploring a new one.
Will is acerbic, moody, bossy-but Lou refuses to treat him with kid gloves, and soon his happiness means more to her than she expected. When she learns that Will has shocking plans of his own. Lou sets out to show him that life is still worth living.
This is the first book in the Vale Hall Series. I have read this book.
Brynn Hilder is desperate to escape her run-down neighborhood and hopeless future for better things-at any cost. She spends her free time conning, spoiled, entitled rich kids out of their allowances, and any guilt she feels is worth the ultimate goal: college.
When she's recruited to the elite, mysterious Vale Hall, it seems too good to be true...and maybe it is. Turns out, she's been brought in for a reason, and it's not her good grades.
The director of Vale Hall wants Brynn to put her conning skills to use on much bigger, riskier targets. Instead of honors English, her assigned reading is A History of Scams. She'll be graded on how well she can execute classic hustles and deceptions.
But this might just be where Brynn belongs. For the first time ever, she has what feel like real friends. And there's Caleb-hot, smart, and he seems really into her. Then again, they're all basically professional liars. The only one who seems honest is the senator's son she's been assigned to con for her semester project...but he wouldn't be her mark if he wasn't hiding something.
As truth and lies begin to blur all around her, Brynn will have to decide how far she's willing to go to get wat she wants, and how much of her true self she's willing to risk
Honesty may be the best policy, but at Vale Hall, cheaters always win.
