Pretty Is
Snip! With one cut of the scissors, Erin’s social life changes absolutely. It’s hard enough being a new girl, but it’s that much worse to have a dorky older sister in the same school. When she is snubbed by the pretty and popular crowd, Erin commits an over-the-top vengeful act. This novel focuses on issues of family loyalty, peer pressure, and the desperate desire to belong. How Erin comes to terms with what she has done and with her sister makes this book a good choice for any girl threading her way through the challenging corridors of middle school.
The Normal Kid
Sylvan has been angry ever since his parents split up. And now that an embarrassing photo has appeared in the paper, he’s stuck with a lame nickname too.
Charity is back in the United States after several years in Africa. And she’s learning that home can be a strange place when you’ve been away for a while.
Neither of them knows what’s up with Brian. He spends whole afternoons alone on his trampoline.
From the first day of school, Sylvan knows he doesn’t want to hang out with weirdos like Charity or Brian. He’d rather just be a normal kid. But when the principal gets ready to fire their favorite teacher, Sylvan, Charity, and Brian have to find a way to work together.
Tracktown Summer
Jake has felt fatherless ever since his parents separated, and so he can’t wait to spend the summer with his dad. But the house Dad rented is a shabby place next to the railroad tracks, with no friends and nothing to do. Then, through a pickup game of hoops, Jake befriends a neighbor boy. Adrian is charming at first, but soon Jake starts to sense a streak of desperation in him. Jake gets sucked into Adrian’s bizarre life, in which recklessness escalates to danger. Witnessing Adrian’s highly dysfunctional, sometimes violent, family gives Jake new perspective on his own situation.
