Designed for use in schools, this comic teaches children about
restorative justice through the story of Jake and Ryan. After a
misunderstanding between Jake and Ryan leads to a fight in the
playground, both boys are left feeling angry and fearful about what
might happen when they see each other again. Rather than keeping
Jake and Ryan apart, their teacher arranges a restorative meeting
to allow the boys to understand the situation from the other's
perspective and transform their negative emotions into positive
ones. This comic is a key resource in helping children aged 8-13 to
understand restorative justice and prepare for a restorative
meeting. The comic also features a resource section for teachers,
explaining more about restorative practices and how they can be
used in schools to foster respect and emotional literacy among
students.

Ross Molloy just wants to be normal. He doesn't want to lose his
hair, or wear a weird hat, or deal with the disappearing friends
who don't know what to say to 'the cancer kid'. But with his recent
diagnosis of a rare eye cancer, simply blending in is no longer an
option. Ross - and his friends and his family - all need to work
out how to deal with this devastating challenge that Life has
thrown down. Maybe Batpig can come to the rescue?
Based on Rob
Harrell's own real life experience with eye cancer, and including
amazing comic-strip artwork, this poignant and authentic novel is
unforgettable, hilarious and uplifting.
A timely and heartfelt collection of essays inspired by the #MeToo
movement, edited by acclaimed author Janet Gurtler. Featuring Beth
Revis, Mackenzi Lee, Ellen Hopkins, Saundra Mitchell, Jennifer
Brown, Cheryl Rainfield and many more. When #MeToo went viral,
Janet Gurtler was among the millions of people who began to reflect
on her past experiences. Things she had reluctantly accepted--male
classmates groping her at recess, harassment at work--came back to
her in startling clarity. She needed teens to know what she had
not: that no young person should be subject to sexual assault, or
made to feel unsafe, less than or degraded. You Too? was born out
of that need. By turns thoughtful and explosive, these personal
stories encompass a wide range of experiences and serve as a
reminder to readers that they, too, have a voice worthy of being
heard--and that only by listening and working together can we
create change.
Meet 25 of the bravest humans of all time! Stand Up, Stand Out! is
filled with the incredible and inspiring stories of rebel heroes
who stood up for what they believed in, spoke out against
injustice, and overcame impossible obstacles. Portraits created by
hand-picked contemporary illustrators and snappy, compelling text
bring these people's achievements vividly to life, and relate their
stories back to those of young readers today. From world leaders
such as Gandhi and Nelson Mandela to unsung heroes Irena Sendler
(who rescued 2,500 children in World War 2) and Juliane Koepcke
(who survived an airplane crash in the rainforest aged 17). Each
profile concludes with a 'What Can You Do?' section in which the
story is related to everyday scenarios children might encounter,
and suggests ways for them to show bravery or peacefully protest
against injustice.

How do you save the world from monsters if no one will admit they exist?
She stumbled backwards, her eyes wide, as the figure started coming out
of the canvas
...
She tried to be brave. Well, she said, her hands only a little shaky,
at least tell me what I should call you.
...
Well, little girl, it replied, I suppose you can call me Pet.
There are no more monsters anymore, or so the children in the city of
Lucille are taught. With doting parents and a best friend named
Redemption, Jam has grown up with this lesson all her life. But when
she meets Pet, a creature made of horns and colours and claws, who
emerges from one of her mother's paintings and a drop of Jam's blood,
she must reconsider what she's been told. Pet has come to hunt a
monster, and the shadow of something grim lurks in Redemption's house.
Jam must fight not only to protect her best friend, but also to uncover
the truth.
In their riveting and timely young adult debut, acclaimed novelist
Akwaeke Emezi asks difficult questions about what choices a young
person can make when the adults around them are in denial.

Utilizing experiences and expertise from English educators, young
adult literature authors, classroom teachers, and mental health
professionals, this book considers how secondary English Language
Arts can address school gun violence. Curated by field experts,
contributions to this volume pay special attention to how a
school's culture and climate affect how teachers and students
communicate around difficult topics that are embedded in the
curriculum, but not directly addressed. As the first book that
helps teachers and teacher educators to grapple with the topic of
school violence specifically in the English education classroom,
this book promotes young adult literature and writing activities
that address timely and unfortunately recurring events.
Saints and Misfits-a William C. Morris Award finalist and an
Entertainment Weekly Best YA Book of the Year-is a "timely and
authentic" (School Library Journal, starred review) debut novel
that feels like a modern day My So-Called Life...starring a Muslim
teen. There are three kinds of people in my world: 1. Saints, those
special people moving the world forward. Sometimes you glaze over
them. Or, at least, I do. They're in your face so much, you can't
see them, like how you can't see your nose. 2. Misfits, people who
don't belong. Like me-the way I don't fit into Dad's brand-new
family or in the leftover one composed of Mom and my older brother,
Mama's-Boy-Muhammad. Also, there's Jeremy and me. Misfits. Because
although, alliteratively speaking, Janna and Jeremy sound good
together, we don't go together. Same planet, different worlds. But
sometimes worlds collide and beautiful things happen, right? 3.
Monsters. Well, monsters wearing saint masks, like in Flannery
O'Connor's stories. Like the monster at my mosque. People think
he's holy, untouchable, but nobody has seen under the mask. Except
me.

one day an unexpected letter drops on the doormat addressed to her.
What can it be? Who can be writing to her? Perhaps it's from the

she makes up her mind. Without even opening the letter, she leaves,
heading for a more colorful future. "Dear Daisy Dunnington "is a
book full of imagination and hope.

Every day Jimmy takes 'Skinny Kid's' lunch at school. No way will
he be caught dead standing in that FREE LUNCH line. Even when he's
called into the principal's office, Jimmy just shrugs. "Yeah.
Whatever." Until a surprising act of kindness stops him in his
tracks. For a split second a door cracks open into Jimmy's heart.
Who knows? Maybe he'll just kick that door right open.
Today's middle school girls have it rough.
In a few short years, they go through an incredible number of
biological and emotional changes, making this the most
formative--and riskiest--time in their lives. Groups turn on each
other, a trusted childhood friend can reveal secrets by sending a
text message or updating a Facebook status, and deciding where to
sit in the cafeteria can be a daily struggle. As any tween will
tell you, life for a middle school girl can be summed up in one
word: "drama."
Haley Kilpatrick's own turbulent middle school experience inspired
Girl Talk, a nonprofit organization in which high school mentors
offer a "just been there" perspective to tween girls, helping them
build self-esteem and develop leadership skills. Here, Haley
delivers the definitive guidebook, packed with anecdotes from real
girls around the country, who offer their insight into why her
friends' approval is suddenly vitally important, why she feels
pressured to be perfect, why she's no longer telling her parents
everything, and what three vital things adults can offer to the
girls in their lives to downplay the drama.
Filled with practical strategies from tweens and teen mentors to
help adults understand what girls today are facing, "The Drama
Years "is a must-read for anyone struggling to help girls navigate
the often difficult transition into adolescence.
