"You Truly Assumed is a beautiful portrayal of the multitude of
ways to be Black and Muslim while navigating our contemporary
world. A must-read for everyone."--Adiba Jaigirdar, author of The
Henna Wars In this compelling and thought-provoking debut novel,
after a terrorist attack rocks the country and anti-Islamic
sentiment stirs, three Black Muslim girls create a space where they
can shatter assumptions and share truths. Sabriya has her whole
summer planned out in color-coded glory, but those plans go out the
window after a terrorist attack near her home. When the terrorist
is assumed to be Muslim and Islamophobia grows, Sabriya turns to
her online journal for comfort. You Truly Assumed was never meant
to be anything more than an outlet, but the blog goes viral as
fellow Muslim teens around the country flock to it and find solace
and a sense of community. Soon two more teens, Zakat and Farah,
join Bri to run You Truly Assumed and the three quickly form a
strong friendship. But as the blog's popularity grows, so do the
pushback and hateful comments. When one of them is threatened, the
search to find out who is behind it all begins, and their
friendship is put to the test when all three must decide whether to
shut down the blog and lose what they've worked for...or take a
stand and risk everything to make their voices heard. "I reached
the ending with tears in my eyes--tears cued not by sadness but
hope and elation." --S. K. Ali, New York Times bestselling author
of The Proudest Blue and Love from A to Z

An achingly honest and frequently hilarious coming-of-age novel
about an Arab American trans swimmer fighting to keep their head
above water in a landlocked Midwestern town. River McIntyre has
grown up down the street from Sea Planet, an infamous marine life
theme park slowly going out of business in small-town Ohio. When a
chance encounter with a happy, healthy queer person on the annual
field trip lands River literally in the shark tank, they must admit
the truth: they don't know who they are-only what they've been told
to be. This sets off a wrenching journey of self-discovery, from
internalized homophobia and gender dysphoria, through layers of
coming out, affirmation surgery, and true freakin' love. "River is
the most emotionally engaging character I've read in a long time,
and this novel is a deep and comprehensive exploration of the
journey transgender people trek through the confining world they're
born into. Eye-opening, heartfelt, and real-with a massive payoff
of true love." -A.S. King, author of Dig, winner of the Michael L.
Printz Award
Harry is known as the party wrecker. When his own party comes

The child narrator of A Different Dog can't speak - we assume it is
from a disability or a reaction to a trauma in his past. He is
teased by the other kids and is a loner. On a cold winter's day,
when everyone is participating in a fun run on the mountain, our
narrator finds himself alone at the scene of a car accident where
the driver has died. But there is a little dog in the car... What
follows is a moving story of survival and redemption (and somehow
humour in the midst of all that), all told in a 96-page novella.

"A sweet and sensitive story about how tricky moments and
overwhelming feelings can feel not so tricky and not so
overwhelming when you have a bright spot to follow. Aimee Chase's
cleverly melodic writing style makes The Bright Spot a special book
that shows kids they are never alone in their feelings and offers
them the tools to manage anxious moments." --Monica Sweeney,
bestselling author of How the Crayons Saved the Rainbow and Can You
Yawn Like a Fawn?: A Help-Your-Child-to-Sleep Book Stuck in your
worries? Bright ideas are everywhere! Lexi is all about rules and
schedules, so when the first day of school brings unwelcome
surprises (like a giant hairball on her favorite new dress), she
starts to get anxious. Before her confidence shrinks to zero and
her worries spin out of control, a friendly bright spot appears and
shines its light on everyday tools and strategies for overcoming
anxiety. Thanks to the glowing personality and positive vibes of
her adorable new friend, nothing can stop Lexi from facing the day
like the champion she truly is. With beautiful illustrations and a
glint of humor, school-aged children will love seeing themselves in
this tale of triumph over adversity. The Bright Spot is both a
teaching tool and a heartwarming story of pushing through
uncomfortable moments, managing anxiety, and becoming your own best
guide.
Mirabelle's mum is a witch, her dad is a fairy, and she is a bit of
both! Mirabelle doesn't mean to cause trouble, it just seems to
follow her round. But when she and her brother go to stay at their
fairy grandparents she is determined that nothing will go wrong,
and she is going to be on her very best, most fairy-like,
behaviour. But being good all the time is really tiring. And a
little bit of mess leads to a little bit of secret witch magic,
which leads to even more mess, and even more magic, until
everything is in total chaos! Can Mirabelle get the mayhem under
control before Granny finds out?
