Amy LeTourneur, master of snark and plucker of heartstrings, writes young adult novels that make readers feel “all the feels” while tackling gritty, real-life issues with honesty and grace. Her written works include Reflection, a young adult novella, and Life is a Kaleidoscope, her debut young adult novel and the first book in The Kaleidoscope Series.
Reflection
What happens when you discover the enemy before you . . . is really just a reflection of you?
Melina Christopoulos is the devil in Dior.
At least that’s how sixteen-year-old AJ Hertz has always seen her. And he should know. He’s been best friends with Lina’s triplets, Theo and Lexi, since third grade. But Lina? She’s hated him from hello…and the feeling is pretty much mutual.
Reflection is the first novella in The Lost Summer Series, the companion prequels to The Kaleidoscope Series, which debuts in May!

Life is a Kaleidoscope
Book 1 in The Kaleidoscope Series
What do you do when your world spins and you lose everything that made you you?
Life is a kaleidoscope, doodlebug.
Those words haunt seventeen-year-old AJ Hertz. They’re one of the last things he remembers about the summer before his senior year.
The summer before his whole world came crashing down.
