Actually clean book recs for teens

Long before she was the terror of Wonderland—the infamous Queen of Hearts—she was just a girl who wanted to fall in love. Catherine may be one of the most desired girls in Wonderland, and a favorite of the unmarried King of Hearts, but her interests lie elsewhere. A talented baker, all she wants is to open a shop with her best friend. But according to her mother, such a goal is unthinkable for the young woman who could be the next queen. Then Cath meets Jest, the handsome and mysterious court joker. For the first time, she feels the pull of true attraction. At the risk of offending the king and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into an intense, secret courtship. Cath is determined to define her own destiny and fall in love on her terms. But in a land thriving with magic, madness, and monsters, fate has other plans. In her first stand-alone teen novel, the New York Times-bestselling author dazzles us with a prequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

في البداية، كان هناك عشرة — تشكيلة غريبة من الغرباء دُعوا كضيوف لعطلة نهاية الأسبوع إلى جزيرة خاصة صغيرة قبالة ساحل ديفون. مضيفهم، وهو مليونير غريب الأطوار لا يعرفه أيٌّ منهم، لا أثر له. والقاسم المشترك الوحيد بين الضيوف هو ماضٍ آثم لا يرغبون في كشفه — وسرّ سيحسم مصيرهم. إذ إن كلاً منهم قد وُسِم للقتل. وتوجد في كل غرفة من غرف القصر أنشودة أطفال شهيرة مؤطرة ومعلّقة: «خرج عشرة أولاد صغار لتناول العشاء؛ اختنق أحدهم، فلم يبق منهم إلا تسعة. سهر تسعة أولاد صغار حتى وقت متأخر؛ نام أحدهم أكثر من اللازم، فلم يبق منهم إلا ثمانية. سافر ثمانية أولاد صغار في ديفون؛ قال أحدهم إنه سيبقى هناك، فلم يبق منهم إلا سبعة. كان سبعة أولاد صغار يقطعون العصي؛ قطع أحدهم نفسه إلى نصفين، فلم يبق منهم إلا ستة. كان ستة أولاد صغار يلعبون قرب خلية؛ لسعت نحلة طنانة أحدهم، فلم يبق منهم إلا خمسة. ذهب خمسة أولاد صغار إلى القانون؛ دخل أحدهم محكمة الإنصاف، فلم يبق منهم إلا أربعة. خرج أربعة أولاد صغار إلى البحر؛ ابتلع سمك رنجة حمراء أحدهم، فلم يبق منهم إلا ثلاثة. كان ثلاثة أولاد صغار يتمشون في حديقة الحيوان؛ عانق دب كبير أحدهم، فلم يبق منهم إلا اثنان. جلس ولدان صغيران تحت الشمس؛ احترق أحدهما، فلم يبق إلا واحد. بقي ولد صغير واحد وحيدًا؛ خرج وشنق نفسه، فلم يبق أحد». وحين يدركون أن جرائم القتل تقع كما تصفها الأنشودة، يتصاعد الرعب. ويسقطون ضحية واحدًا تلو الآخر. وقبل أن تنتهي عطلة نهاية الأسبوع، لن يبقى أحد. من الذي دبّر هذه الخطة الخبيثة؟ ومن الذي سيبقى ليروي الحكاية؟ لا أحد فوق الشبهة سوى الموتى.
