Debut author Jilly Gagnon bursts onto the scene with a story equal
parts bite and romance, perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Jennifer
E. Smith, about falling for someone in front of everyone. In this
modern day love story: Girl likes boy. Girl snaps photo and posts
it online. Boy becomes insta-famous. And what starts out as an
innocent photo turns into a whirlwind adventure that forces them
both to question whether fame-and love-are worth the price...and
changes both of their lives forever. Told from alternating points
of view, #famous captures the sometimes-crazy thrill ride of social
media and the equally messy but wonderful moments of liking someone
in real life.
The girl in this story sees it happening, but she would never do
these mean things herself. Then one day something happens that
shows her that being a silent bystander isn't enough. Will she take
some steps on her own to help another kid? Could it be as simple as
sitting on the bus with the girl no one has befriended (and
discovering that she has a great sense of humor)? Resources at the
end of the book will help parents and children talk about teasing
and bullying and find ways to stop it at school.One child at a time
can help change a school. Since its release in May 2004, this book
has sparked Say Something weeks in schools from Maine to Shanghai.
It has been turned into plays, distributed to hundreds of kids at
conferences, read by principals on large screens, and rewritten by
students in several schools (Do Something! is a favorite title).
Most importantly, Say Something has helped start countless
conversations among kids and adults about teasing. We're
celebrating with this new edition, updated with a new cover and an
author's note. Fountas & Pinnell Level O

"A funny and satisfying love story [that] challenges simplistic preconceptions." --Publishers Weekly
Beckett Gaines, a gay teen living in South Carolina, has his world turned upside-down by a jock in this laugh-out-loud novel that's Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda meets The Parent Trap.
Beck:
The Golden Girls-loving, out-and-proud choir nerd growing up in the "ass-crack of the Bible belt."
Jax:
The Golden Boy, star quarterback with a slick veneer facing uncomfortable truths about himself and his past.
When Beck's emotionally fragile dad starts dating the recently single (and supposedly lesbian) mom of former bully Jaxon Parker, Beck is not having it. Jax isn't happy about the situation either, holding out hope that his moms will reunite and restore the only stable home he's ever known. Putting aside past differences, the boys plot to derail the budding romance between their parents at their conservative hometown's first-ever Rainbow Prom. Hearts will be broken, new romance will bloom, but nothing will go down the way Beck and Jax have planned.
In his hilarious and provocative debut, Greg Howard examines the challenges of growing up different in a small southern town through the lens of colorful and unforgettable characters who stay with you long after the last drop of sweet tea.
CBT skills for coping with angry thoughts, expressing your
emotions, and putting an end to angry outbursts--once and for all.
Being a young man is tough, and you're not always equipped to deal
with the ongoing challenges of school, work, family, and relentless
peer pressure. First of all, it's not all your fault. Our society
encourages boys to repress their emotions--both positive and
negative. You may have been told to "suck it up," or "just be a
man." But burying your emotions can make it extremely difficult to
express yourself, be heard, and feel like your needs are being met.
The result is a frustration that builds and boils over into anger.
The good news is there's an easy-to-learn method for managing your
anger and expressing your emotions in a healthy way. Written by an
expert in anger with decades of experience working with teens, this
book provides you with the tools you need for effective anger
management, as well as essential skills for getting in touch with
and communicating your thoughts and feelings. You'll learn to
understand the emotions that trigger anger, build up your emotional
vocabulary to better express your feelings, and focus on the
positive. You'll also discover anger-reduction techniques to stay
cool when anger intensifies, so you put out the fire and get to a
place of calm. This workbook is packed with tips and tricks to help
you: Replace unhelpful anger with clear communication Break the
habit of catastrophizing and personalizing Reduce the overwhelming
physiological response of anger Channel the positive power of anger
With the right tools, you can take charge of your anger--and your
life. This workbook will show you how. In these increasingly
challenging times, kids and teens need mental health resources more
than ever. With more than 1.6 million copies sold worldwide,
Instant Help Books are easy to use, proven-effective, and
recommended by therapists.
