Book Description
Breaking all the rules: a fresh and funny 'tween girl novel from the white-hot author of Town House Zoë Costello knows rules. Like every other seventh grader, she knows not to run in the halls or whisper during class. But more importantly, Zoë knows her rules, or as she prefers to call them, her unwritten rules, all of which she generously dispenses to her grade 7 "clients," a.k.a. classmates. These dozen or so tenets cover key life issues, such as Inside Jokes Require a Minimum of EIGHT Days of Friendship. Or, A Smart Girl Doesn't Put Up With Anything. Ever. And, of course, one of the most important unwritten rules: Never Question Zoë's Advice. Ever since the day in kindergarten when Zoë neutralized the jungle-gym bully, she's been the go-to girl for classmates, teachers and even her mom and beloved grandma. So, when Maisie, a new girl with a "reputation," arrives at school, Zoë is determined to help her fit in. But Zoë's meddling backfires, and now her own never-to-be-questioned advice has left Zoë with a lot of questions, no answers and no friends. Is there any unwritten rule that can help her now? And so it was. The Zoë Lama was born. From that day on, requests came in almost daily for advice ranging from how to break in a new pair of flip-flops with minimal bleeding, to how to crush on a boy in a younger grade without destroying your reputation. I soon discovered an added bonus. Being the knower-of-all-unwritten rules automatically provided me with an untouchable reputation--a happy side effect I'm thankful for every single day. As long as The Zoë Lama reigns, my status is safe. The day my reign ends is the day my people will drop the peace and harmony crap and eat me alive. --from The Invisible Rules of the Zoë Lama

The Summer We Lost Her
Author: Tish Cohen

ISBN: 1501199684
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
For fans of Jodi Picoult and Anna Quindlen, comes an “astonishingly profound…exquisitely written drama” (Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You) about a husband and a wife, a missing child, and the complicated family secrets that can derail even the best of marriages. It’s been a busy—and expensive—few years for Matt and Elise Sorenson and their young daughter Gracie, whom they affectionately call Little Green. Matt, a Manhattan lawyer, has just been offered a partnership, and Elise’s equestrian ambitions as a competitive dressage rider may finally vault her into the Olympics. But her long absences from home and endless hours of training have strained their relationships nearly to the breaking point. Now they’re up in the Adirondacks, preparing to sell the valuable lakefront cabin that’s been in Matt’s family for generations. Both he and Elise agree it’s time to let it go. But as they navigate the memories the cabin holds—and come face to face with Matt’s teenage crush, now an unnervingly attractive single mother living right next door—Gracie disappears without a trace. Faced with the possibility that they’ll never see their daughter again, Elise and Matt struggle to come to terms with what their future may bring. The fate of the family property, the history of this not-so-tiny town, and the limits of Matt and Elise’s love for each other are inextricably bound up with Gracie’s disappearance. Everything for the Sorenson family is about to change—the messy tangle of their past, the harrowing truth of their present, and whether or not their love will survive a parent’s worst nightmare.

Channel Kindness: Stories of Kindness and Community
Author: Born This Way Foundation Reporters
Publisher: Feiwel & Friends
ISBN: 1250245575
Category : Young Adult Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
A New York Times Bestseller For Lady Gaga, kindness is the driving force behind everything she says and does. The quiet power of kindness can change the way we view one another, our communities, and even ourselves. She embodies this mission, and through her work, brings more kindness into our world every single day. Lady Gaga has always believed in the importance of being yourself, being kind to yourself, and being kind to others, no matter who they are or where they come from. With that sentiment in mind, she and her mother, Cynthia Germanotta, founded Born This Way Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to making the world a kinder and braver place. Through the years, they've collected stories of kindness, bravery and resilience from young people all over the world, proving that kindness truly is the universal language. And now, we invite you to read these stories and follow along as each and every young author finds their voice just as Lady Gaga has found hers. Within these pages, you’ll meet young changemakers who found their inner strength, who prevailed in the face of bullies, who started their own social movements, who decided to break through the mental health stigma and share how they felt, who created safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth, and who have embraced kindness with every fiber of their being by helping others without the expectation of anything in return. In one story, you’ll read about a young person with an autoimmune disease, who after being bullied at school, learned how to practice self-love and started an organization with the mission of educating others about the importance of self-love, too; and in another story, you’ll meet a young person who decided to start a movement to help eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health and encouraged others to talk about their feelings openly and honestly, a reminder that kindness and mental wellness go hand in hand. Not only were we moved by these individual acts of kindness, but we were also touched by the many stories of organizations, neighborhoods, and entire communities that fully dedicated themselves to helping those in need and found new, innovative ways to make our world a kinder and braver place. Individually and collectively, these stories prove that kindness not only saves lives but builds community. Kindness is inclusion, it is pride, it is empathy, it is compassion, it is self-respect and it is the guiding light to love. Kindness is always transformational, and its never-ending ripples result in even more kind acts that can change our lives, our communities, and our world.
