A fresh, relatable story with a sprinkling of magic, about a girl who just wants to fit in but her magic powers make her stand out, from award-winning journalist and author Radhika Sanghani. Perfect for fans of Lottie Brooks and Dork Diaries. Sabina Patel has never been popular. And in her new school, in a new town where she doesn't know anyone, Sabina feels more out of place than ever.
When she accidentally unlocks magic powers and starts to see visions of the future, Sabina worries that she'll be even more unpopular than before. But she quickly becomes one of the most popular girls in school, with everyone desperate for her to predict their test answers, prom dates and class election results. Then she starts seeing futures she'd rather not know about and Sabina's not sure if she's unlocked a gift or a curse. A book about learning to be happy in the present, rather than letting the future take over your life.

While the physical and emotional trials of waiting on transplant
lists are featured in popular media, the struggles recipients face
years after surgery are not. Voices of Teenage Transplant Survivors
introduces illness narratives from an unrecognized patient
population: recipients of heart, liver, and kidney transplants.
Offering unique narratives by adolescents who use poetry to explore
issues surrounding the changing body, independence, identity, and
mortality, the book showcases a message of healing and voices of
hope amid uncertainty. Illuminating the physical, psychological,
and existential challenges confronted by adolescents for which
organ rejection and side effects loom in their future, Sample
details the poetry workshops where these adolescents articulated
experiences silenced by family, friends, and the culture of
medicine. She includes close readings and analyses of their
writings, along with writing prompts and references to narrative
medicine theory. This powerful book offers something new for
medical and health professionals, medical humanities researchers,
students, and the public.

illustrated, bite-sized stories to engage young readers to face new
challenges head-on. COVID-19 seized the world in 2020. From the
likes of the plague, the Spanish Flu and SARS, invisible enemies

battle against pandemics. - Who is Patient Zero and what are super
spreaders? - When did the Theory of Germs begin? - Why did
scientists risk their own lives? - How did history prevail against
pesky pandemics? Former TV journalist Hwee Goh and historian/artist
David Liew collaborate on a well-researched, fun book on key
milestones of the pandemics that have shaped our world.
