From award-winning author Tanita S. Davis comes a nuanced

Black girl named Madalyn who learns that being a good friend means

conversations on days that are partly cloudy. Perfect for fans of A
Good Kind of Trouble and From the Desk of Zoe Washington. Lightning
couldn't strike twice, could it? After a terrible year, Madalyn
needs clear skies desperately. Moving in with her great-uncle, Papa
Lobo, and switching to a new school is just the first step. It's
not all rainbows and sunshine, though. Madalyn discovers she's the
only Black girl in her class, and while most of her classmates are
friendly, assumptions lead to some serious storms. Papa Lobo's
long-running feud with neighbor Mrs. Baylor brings wild weather of
its own, and Madalyn wonders just how far things will go. But when
fire threatens the community, Madalyn discovers that truly being
neighborly means more than just staying on your side of the street-
it means weathering tough conversations-and finding that together a
family can pull through anything. Award-winning author Tanita S.
Davis shows us that life isn't always clear, and that partly cloudy
days still contain a bit of blue worth celebrating.

Many teenagers feel that high school is one of the most
difficult and confusing times of their life. Life rides a roller
coaster as it hits its fantastic highs and then drops back down to
its unwanted lows. This is natural; it happens to everyone.
Unfortunately, many teenagers feel alone in the world. They wonder
why they were punished and everyone else's life seems to be going
so well.
The collection of poems in "You're not Alone" reflects the pain,
confusion, love, hate, heartbreak, anxiety, and loneliness that all
teenagers go through at one point and time. It reminds them that
they are not rowing the boat by themselves but rather, that they
have an entire crew rowing with them. They are all attempting to
reach a like goal: To make it through their teenage years.
Their wish will come true.
