Weekly, starred review for MELISSA (previously titled GEORGE)
Rick's never questioned much. He's tagged along with his best
friend Jeff, even when Jeff's acted like a bully. He's let his Dad
joke with him about girls, even though it makes him feel
uncomfortable. Everyone around him seems to think that they've
figured him out. But the truth is, Rick hasn't given his own
identity much thought. Now Rick's in middle school, and it's a
place of new possibilities. With the help of his new friends that
he meets at the Rainbow Spectrum club, Rick embarks on a journey to
find out who he truly is. An inspiring story about finding your
place in the world.

Claire Cashmore, MBE and Paralympic gold medallist, was born without a
left forearm – but she never let being different stand in the way of
her big dreams. Splash is based on Claire’s real-life experience: this
gold-medal-winning swimmer really was scared of water … until one day,
everything changed!
These are Claire’s big sisters.
They call her Bear and ruffle her hair.
And whatever Claire’s sisters can do,
Claire can do too …
But there is one thing Claire won't do …The water in the swimming pool
makes her feel squirmy inside. Follow her sisters? No thank you! Not
today?
Can Claire conquer her fears? Can she set foot in the water – and what
will happen if she does?
Splash features a brilliantly bold heroine, who happens to be
differently abled, and brims with fun, positivity and Claire Cashmore’s
inspirational growth mindset message.
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of This Is Where It
Ends comes another heartbreaking, emotional and timely page-turner
that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The Hope Juvenile
Treatment Center is ironically named. No one has hope for the
delinquent teenagers who have been exiled there; the world barely
acknowledges that they exist. Then the guards at Hope start acting
strange. And one day...they don't show up. But when the teens band
together to make a break from the facility, they encounter soldiers
outside the gates. There's a rapidly spreading infectious disease
outside, and no one can leave their houses or travel without a
permit. Which means that they're stuck at Hope. And this time, no
one is watching out for them at all. As supplies quickly dwindle
and a deadly plague tears through their ranks, the group has to
decide whom among them they can trust and figure out how they can
survive in a world that has never wanted them in the first place.
