"Expect depth and razor sharp wit in this YA novel from the author
of The Interestings." - Entertainment Weekly "A prep school tale
with a supernatural-romance touch, from genius adult novelist Meg
Wolitzer." -Glamour "Basically everything Meg Wolitzer writes is
worth reading, usually over and over again, and her YA debut . . .
is no exception." -TeenVogue.com If life were fair, Jam Gallahue
would still be at home in New Jersey with her sweet British
boyfriend, Reeve Maxfield. She'd be watching old comedy sketches
with him. She'd be kissing him in the library stacks. She certainly
wouldn't be at The Wooden Barn, a therapeutic boarding school in
rural Vermont, living with a weird roommate, and signed up for an
exclusive, mysterious class called Special Topics in English.But
life isn't fair, and Reeve Maxfield is dead. Until a
journal-writing assignment leads Jam to Belzhar, where the
untainted past is restored, and Jam can feel Reeve's arms around
her once again. But there are hidden truths on Jam's path to
reclaim her loss.
Children and teenagers are different. Some have more differences
than others and may have difficulties with things such as
participating in group activities, or really understanding how
other people see things and how they think. Some of these young
people want to do things in their own way, and some of them have a
particular interest which fills their lives. Many of those who are
special in this way have Asperger Syndrome or high functioning
autism. Gunilla, who is now an adult, received her diagnosis
several years ago. She has written this book for all children and
teenagers who have similar difficulties. It's an important book -
in fact, it's the only one of its kind. Gunilla's book should be
read by all young people who receive a diagnosis of Asperger
Syndrome, PDD or high functioning autism. It can also be read by
their peers in school, siblings, and other children with whom they
have contact. Adults may read it too, the better to understand the
person with autism or Asperger Syndrome.' - Christopher Gillberg,
MD and Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
For the past five years, Hayley Kincaid and her father, Andy, have
been on the road, never staying long in one place as he struggles
to escape the demons that have tortured him since his return from
Iraq. Now they are back in the town where he grew up so Hayley can
attend school. Perhaps, for the first time, Hayley can have a
normal life, put aside her own painful memories, even have a
relationship with Finn, the hot guy who obviously likes her but is
hiding secrets of his own. Will being back home help Andy's PTSD,
or will his terrible memories drag him to the edge of hell, and
drugs push him over? The Impossible Knife of Memory is Laurie Halse
Anderson at her finest: compelling, surprising, and impossible to
put down.

2021 Schneider Family Book Award Young Children's Honor Book
(American Library Association) Experience the true story of
lifelong activist Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins and her participation in
the Capitol Crawl in this inspiring autobiographical picture book.
This beautifully illustrated story includes a foreword from
Jennifer and backmatter detailing her life and the history of the
disability rights movement. This is the story of a little girl who
just wanted to go, even when others tried to stop her. Jennifer
Keelan was determined to make a change-even if she was just a kid.
She never thought her wheelchair could slow her down, but the way
the world around her was built made it hard to do even simple
things. Like going to school, or eating lunch in the cafeteria.
Jennifer knew that everyone deserves a voice! Then the Americans
with Disabilities Act, a law that would make public spaces much
more accessible to people with disabilities, was proposed to
Congress. And to make sure it passed, Jennifer went to the steps of
the Capitol building in Washington DC to convince them. And,
without her wheelchair, she climbed. ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP! A

dog with themes of friendship, neurodivergence, and courage Harley
the service dog is on the job! He goes to school every day with Ms.
Prichard to make sure she feels safe. Their students are a lot of
fun, but Harley can't play with them while he's wearing his work

perfect in the best, most quiet class in the whole school. Until
the day the old stage curtains catch fire. As the fire alarm blares
and chaos erupts, Harley remembers that Ms. Prichard isn't the only
human in his class who gets upset by loud noises. Inspired by a
true story, Harley the Hero celebrates the work of service animals
and the normalization of neurodivergence. Author-illustrator Peggy
Collins brings Harley and his class to charming life and concludes
with an Author's Note about the real dog behind the fictional
Harley.

It's been almost a year since Sila's mum travelled halfway around the world to Turkey, hoping to secure the immigration paperwork that would allow her to return to her family in the United States.
The long separation is almost impossible for Sila to bear. But things change when Sila accompanies her father (who is a mechanic) outside their Oregon town to fix a truck. There, behind an enormous stone wall, she meets a grandfatherly man who only months before won the state lottery. Their new alliance leads to the rescue of a circus elephant named Veda, and then to a friendship with a unique boy named Mateo, proving that comfort and hope come in the most unlikely of places.
A moving story of family separation and the importance of the connection between animals and humans, this novel has the enormous heart and uplifting humour that readers have come to expect from the beloved author of Counting by 7s.
When Charley goes to the playground and sees Emma, a girl with limb

and different is great! This delightful book will help kids think
about disability, kindness, and how to behave when they meet
someone who is different from them.
