Most children, especially children on the autism spectrum, accept
adults' friendliness at face value. Sometimes it can have tragic
consequences. Written by a Deputy Sheriff, this book is credited
with foiling at least 22 stranger abductions. Characters Bobby and
Mandee explain stranger danger in a way that is accessible, but not
frightening, for children. Read it to your child and role-play
different scenarios. Create a password only you and your child
know, label backpacks on the inside (so strangers won't know your
name). Strangers can be men or women, old or young. Adults should
not touch, give gifts to, or ask for help from children. If they
do, don't keep it a secret! Tell an adult! Arm your child with the
knowledge that may save his or her life.

'My name is Finlay McIntosh. I can see OK, can hear perfectly fine and I can write really, really well. But the thing is, I can't speak. I'm a st-st-st-stutterer. Hilarious, isn't it? It's like the word is there in my mouth, fully formed and then, just as it's ready to leave my lips . . . POP! It jumps and ricochets and bounces around my gob. Except it isn't funny at all, because there's not a thing I can do about it.'
Finlay's mother vanished two years ago. And ever since then his stutter has become almost unbearable. Bullied at school and ignored by his father, the only way to get out the words which are bouncing around in his head is by writing long letters to his ma which he knows she will never read, and by playing Scrabble online. But when Finlay is befriended by an online Scrabble player called Alex, everything changes. Could it be his mother secretly trying to contact him? Or is there something more sinister going on?

comes to school and starts pointing out all the ways in which Pip
is different. Suddenly she doesn't like any of the same things she
used to...the things that made her Pip. A wonderful springboard for

brave and unforgettable story that will inspire readers to rethink
how we treat survivors. Hermione Winters is captain of her
cheerleading team, and in tiny Palermo Heights, this doesn't mean
what you think it means. At PHHS, the cheerleaders don't cheer for

small town. The team's summer training camp is Hermione's last and
marks the beginning of the end of...she's not sure what. She does
know this season could make her a legend. But during a camp party,
someone slips something in her drink. And it all goes black. In

be anyone's cautionary tale. "This story of a cheerleader rising up
after a traumatic event will give you Veronica Mars-level feels
that will stay with you long after you finish."-Seventeen Magazine
