Corrugated Castle. Fancy Foil Fish Mobile. Paper Bead Bangles. Braided Rag Coasters. Old Shoe Flower Pots. Puppy Dog Sock Puppet. With a little imagination, just about anything we think of as trash can be transformed into an art project good enough to give as a gift or to keep and treasure yourself. In her first Storey Kids book, "Nature's Art Box, master crafter Laura C. Martin showed kids how pebbles, twigs, seedpods, and shells can be turned into things of beauty. Now in "Recycled Crafts Box, she uses as her art supplies the paper, plastic, metal, and cloth we usually consign to the recycling bin or the garbage can. The way Martin sees it, just about everything around us holds artistic possibilities. Plastic picnic plates can be cut up to make a bouquet of flowers that will never wilt (and don't need watering). Roll leftover gift wrap into tight tubes and cut it into small sections to make one-of-a-kind beads. Decorate the sides of old paint cans with acrylic paint and tie sturdy rope to the handles to make a pair of stilts. Along the way, Martin offers sidebars on the history of rubbish and profiles of artists whose medium is junk. She passes along important lessons about being a good steward of the Earth. But the lessons are light and fun--never preachy. Fun for kids, perfect for involved and home-schooling parents, and ideal for schoolteachers who have seen their art supply budgets slashed, "Recycled Crafts Box shows budding artists how to make something beautiful and save the planet at the same time.

She's All That goes desi in this hilarious, affecting, and sweetly
romantic comedy by the author of More Than Just a Pretty Face.
Arsalan has learned everything he knows from Nana, his 100-year-old
great-grandfather. This includes the fact that when Nana dies,
Arsalan will be completely alone in the world, except for his
estranged and abusive father. So he turns to Beenish, the
step-daughter of a prominent matchmaker, to find him a future life
partner. Beenish's request in return? That Arsalan help her ruin
her older sister's wedding with a spectacular dance she's been
forbidden to perform. Despite knowing as little about dancing as he
does about girls, Arsalan wades into Beenish's chaotic world to
discover friends and family he never expected. And though Arsalan's
old-school manners and Beenish's take-no-prisoners attitude clash
every minute, they find themselves getting closer and closer -
literally. All that's left to realize is that the thing they both
really want is each other, if only they can get into step. Praise
