The Marvelous

In this exuberant YA novel, six teens are locked together in a mansion, vying for a life-changing cash prize in a competition run by a reclusive heiress.
Everyone thinks they know Jewel Van Hanen. Heiress turned actress turned social media darling who created the massively popular video-sharing app, Golden Rule.
After mysteriously disappearing for a year, Jewel makes her dramatic return with an announcement: she has chosen a few lucky Golden Rule users to spend an unforgettable weekend at her private estate. But once they arrive, Jewel ingeniously flips the script: the guests are now players in an elaborate estate-wide game. And she's tailored every challenge and obstacle to test whether they have what it takes to win—at any cost.
Told from the perspective of three dazzling players—Nicole: the new queen of Golden Rule; Luna: Jewel's biggest fan; and Stella: a brilliant outsider—Marvelous will charm its way into your heart and keep you guessing how it all ends because money isn't the only thing at stake.
From the author of Let's Talk About Love and If It Makes You Happy, Claire Kann delivers a captivating queer YA adventure filled with suspense, humor, and heart. Perfect for fans of contemporary YA fiction with diverse characters and LGBTQ+ themes.
