About the Books
Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé burst onto the YA scene with Ace of Spades, a debut thriller that hit bestseller lists within its first week and won the 2022 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work in the Youth/Teens category. Set at the wealthy, predominantly white Niveus Private Academy, it follows Chiamaka Adebayo and Devon Richards, the school's only two Black students, as an anonymous texter known only as Aces begins exposing their darkest secrets. What starts as a cruel prank spirals into a chilling look at institutional racism and privilege. The included Special Edition preserves that story while adding exclusive bonus content for collectors. Where Sleeping Girls Lie shifts to Alfred Nobel Academy, where new student Sade Hussein's first night takes a dark turn when her roommate vanishes, pulling Sade into a web of rumors and a clique known as the Unholy Trinity. Rounding out the set, The Doomsday Date is a compact World Book Day story packing an emotional gut-punch about friendship and impending catastrophe into one tense night.
