*Silver medal winner in the 'Middle Grades Fiction' category of the
Nautilus Book Awards 2015* Astie has always been different. Her
12th birthday is looming and she still has not decided on her
thesis. All the Learners at the Hub picked theirs years ago. If it
wasn't for her cousin, Jakob, life would be unbearable on Elemental
Island. On the verge of being diagnosed with Social Syndrome, she
stumbles upon Danny who has landed in a forbidden flight machine.
To protect him, Astie persuades Jakob to tamper with the Overseer's
memory. On the run from the Monitors together, Astie calls on her
unique qualities to forge a friendship with the stranger and
discover his reason for coming to the island. What she finds will
shake the foundations of the place she calls home. Set on a
secretive island utopia where science and logic rule, this
intriguing novel explores and celebrates differences in people from
an alternative perspective. It is engaging reading for children
aged 8-13.
"Fig Arnold is an original and irresistible heroine in a story full
of hope, art, and love." --R. J. Palacio, author of Wonder "A
thoughtful portrayal of mental illness with queer content that
avoids coming-out cliches." --Kirkus Reviews For Fig's dad,
hurricane season brings the music. For Fig, hurricane season brings
the possibility of disaster. Fig, a sixth grader, loves her dad and
the home they share in a beachside town. She does not love the long
months of hurricane season. Her father, a once-renowned piano
player, sometimes goes looking for the music in the middle of a
storm. Hurricane months bring unpredictable good and bad days. More
than anything, Fig wants to see the world through her father's
eyes, so she takes an art class to experience life as an artist
does. Then Fig's dad shows up at school, confused and looking for
her. Not only does the class not bring Fig closer to understanding
him, it brings social services to their door. As the walls start to
fall around her, Fig is sure it's up to her alone to solve her
father's problems and protect her family's privacy. But with the
help of her best friend, a cute girl at the library, and a
surprisingly kind new neighbor, Fig learns she isn't as alone as
she once thought . . . and begins to compose her own definition of
family. Nicole Melleby's Hurricane Season is a radiant and tender
novel about taking risks and facing danger, about friendship and
art, and about growing up and coming out. And more than anything
else, it is a story about love--both its limits and its incredible
healing power.
