There was a time when all was right in Taylor Dresden's world --
that is, as long as she was on the baseball diamond, pitching with
all her heart. But that was years ago. Now, as she heads toward her
senior year, the magic is gone. There's no competition in her New
Jersey high school, and summer league is not much better. With the
scouts losing interest on account of her poor grades, and with the
challenge of the game gone, Taylor has made a difficult decision:
She won't be playing her senior year. Everything changes when a
local, elite, all-boys prep school recruits Taylor for its own
baseball team. One of the first three girls ever to attend, Taylor
begins to see that she genuinely does have the opportunity to
create some real change in her life, her way -- and just maybe for
the better. But the Hazelton School is a rich boy's world, its
student body run by the Statesmen -- an organisation determined to
force Taylor and the other girls out of their school. Their leader,
Sam Barrett, may well be more than he seems, but in a school where
not only the sports, but the classes too, are harder than ever,
Taylor may never have a chance to find out. Taylor knows she's a
great pitcher, but can she be a great student? Can she succeed in
the face of devious boys who will stop at nothing to get rid of
her? Will she rise above them or sink to their level -- or will she
be gone before she can do either? Singled Out, the exciting sequel
to Thrown a Curve, will answer these questions as Taylor struggles
to find her place beyond the pitcher's mound.
A thorough and easy way to discuss disagreements and arguments with
young children. Everyone has been in an argument. Sometimes we
disagree when watching sports, like football or baseball. Sometimes
we fight about where to go or what to do. Sometimes arguments are
simply the result of misunderstandings or differing opinions. If
they're not immediately resolved, though, disagreements can cause
tension that builds up over time and can affect the people around
us. In Sometimes People Fight--Even When They Love Each Other, a
child takes the reader through their parents' recent disagreements,
demonstrating how they start, how they affect him, and how they can
be resolved through discussion, compromise, and forgiveness. This
book thoughtfully teaches young readers about arguing with friends
and family and shows them healthy ways to process and respond to
what they're feeling. Sometimes People Fight--Even When They Love
Each Other gives parents, grandparents, and caregivers the
opportunity to speak with children about this important topic.

In this highly anticipated second novel by the author of the award-winning, bestselling The Thing About Jellyfish, being the new kid at school isn't easy, especially when you have to follow in the footsteps of a classroom prankster like Paulie Fink.
When Caitlyn Breen enters the tiny Mitchell School in rural Mitchell, Vermont, she is a complete outsider: the seventh grade has just ten other kids, and they've known each other since kindergarten. Her classmates are in for a shock of their own: Paulie Fink--the class clown, oddball, troublemaker, and evil genius--is gone this year.
As stories of Paulie's hijinks unfold, his legend builds, until they realize there's only one way to fill the Paulie-sized hole in their class. They'll find their next great Paulie Fink through a reality-show style competition, to be judged by the only objective person around: Caitlyn, who never even met Paulie Fink. Who was this kid, anyway--prankster, performance artist, philosopher, or fool? Caitlyn's quest to understand Paulie is about to teach her more about herself than she ever imagined.
Told via multiple voices, interviews, and other documents, The Next Great Paulie Fink is a lighthearted yet surprisingly touching exploration of how we build up and tear down our own myths...about others, our communities, and ourselves.
Meet spunky, funny, and friendly Geraldine Pu as she takes on a bully and makes a new friend in this first book in a new Level 3 Ready-to-Read Graphics series!
Geraldine Pu’s favorite part of school is lunch. She loves her lunch box, which she calls Biandang. She can’t wait to see what her grandmother, Amah, has packed inside it each day. Then one day, Geraldine gets stinky tofu...and an unexpected surprise. What will she do?
Ready-to-Read Graphics books give readers the perfect introduction to the graphic novel format with easy-to-follow panels, speech bubbles with accessible vocabulary, and sequential storytelling that is spot-on for beginning readers. There’s even a how-to guide for reading graphic novels at the beginning of each book.
“This is not a book about a tragedy. This is a book about survivors, and hope, and belief. I wish this book wasn’t necessary, but it is. Read it. And then pass it on.” —Kathleen Glasgow, New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces
“A whip-smart and deeply felt story about reclaiming life from the rubble of guilt and trauma, Four, Three, Two, One glows brilliantly with heart, humanity, and hope.” —Brendan Kiely, New York Times bestselling coauthor of All American Boys and author of Tradition
Golden “Go” Jennings wasn’t supposed to be on Bus 21 the day it blew up in New York City. Neither was her boyfriend, Chandler. But they were. And so was Rudy, a cute stranger Go shared a connection with the night before. And Caroline, a girl whose silence ended up costing nineteen people their lives.
Though it’s been a year since the bombing, Go isn’t any closer to getting over what happened. With Chan completely closed off to even talking about it, Go makes an impulsive decision: round up the rest of the survivors and head to New York City. There they will board an art installation made of the charred remnants of Bus 21 and hopefully reach some sort of resolution.
But things are never easy when it comes to rehashing the past. Uniting the four stirs up conflicting feelings of anger and forgiveness, and shows them that, although they all survived, they may still need saving.
When summer break brings BIG changes, these BFFs 4EVA may end up
saying good-bye 4EVA in the eighth and final book in this popular
middle-grade series told entirely in text messages, emojis, and
passed notes. Perfect for fans of Invisible Emmie and the Dork
Diaries and now available in paperback. TBH, Cece, Prianka, and
Gabby thought they'd be together forever. But when Gabby's mom
announces she's moving to Texas and a backyard BBQ party gets the
friends' blow-out summer off to a rocky start, they end up spending
more time apart than together! To be honest, Gabby just wants to
get the good-byes over with already. The question is: How can they
be BFF 4EVA if everyone goes their separate ways?
