First Comes Love
“An engaging story of sisterly love . . . Illuminating and engrossing.”—People
How to Set a Fire and Why
“The most remarkable achievement of this novel is its narrative voice. It belongs to Lucia Stanton, the novel’s disaffected, Holden Caulfield-style young narrator and heroine. Lucia is a marvelous creation and the richness of her voice — its intelligence, its casual precision — is felt on the very first page…. Sometimes, you hear the ghost […]

[Emma] Cline gorgeously maps the topography of one loneliness-ravaged adolescent heart. She gives us the fictional truth of a girl chasing danger beyond […]
The House of Secrets
"A fast-paced and twisty thriller not to be missed."¯Library Journal
The Seed Collectors
“[A] hyperbolic, raunchy, hilarious immersion in the connected lives of some intensely imperfect people… Thomas is a literary star in the United Kingdom. She should be in the United States, too.”—Kirkus Starred Review
