Through stories of youth using their many voices in and out of
school to explore and express their ideas about the world, this
book brings to the forefront the reality of lived literacy
experiences of adolescents in today's culture in which literacy
practices reflect important cultural messages about the interplay
of local and global civic engagement. The focus is on three areas
of youth civic engagement and cultural critique: homelessness,
violence, and performing adolescence. The authors explore how youth
appropriate the arts, media, and literacy as resources and how this
enables them to express their identities and engage in social and
cultural engagement and critique. The book describes how the youth
in the various projects represented entered the public sphere; the
claims they made; the ways readers might think about pedagogical
engagements, practice, and goals as forms of civic engagement; and
implications for critical and arts and media-based literacy
pedagogies in schools that forward democratic citizenship in a time
when we are losing sight of issues of equity and social justice in
our communities and nations.

Augusta's pirate-captain father insists that pirates must be
rotten, sneaky, and brainy. But Augusta prefers fanciness to
foulness. Despite the crew’s opposition, she sets out to prove
that a successful pirate can be fancy, sneaky, and brainy, too. In
Bad Pirate, unlikely buccaneer Augusta Garrick that integrity pays
off, even when it means running against the pack. In Good Pirate,
the sea pup is still under pressure to fit in, this time by
abandoning her love for fancy things. After all, says her father
the captain, a good pirate must be rotten, sneaky, and brainy. But
is there really any reason a pirate can’t be sneaky, brainy, and
fancy? When the rest of the crew is captured by Captain
Fishmonger’s mangy pirate cats, Augusta gets the chance to show
just what a well-dressed, sweet-smelling, clever pup can do. With
swashbuckling energy and satisfying pirate dialogue, Kari-Lynn
Winters has written a sequel worthy of Bad Pirate’s popular and
critical success. Dean Griffiths brings personality to every
crewmember, telling stories within stories through his richly
detailed illustrations. A treasure for any landlubber who knows you
can’t judge a mind by its cover.

Phoebe, the daughter of a white French-Canadian mother and a
Jamaican English-speaking father, dislikes her school nickname of
"French Toast." Gently prompted by her blind grandmother, she uses
descriptions of familiar foods from both cultures to explain the
family's varied skin colors—and realizes she can take ownership
of the nickname proudly.

In a read-aloud perfect for conversations about team stewardship
and growth mindset, a boy overshadowed by a family of skilled
hockey players finds an innovative way to shine. In Jackson Moore's
small town, his family is known for producing hockey heroes-but he
worries that he'll never measure up to their amazing skills. On the
ice he feels like a potato on skates, and his teammates begin to
wonder if he really is a Moore. Then, when a shortage of equipment
puts his team at risk of losing their spot in the Winterfest
Tournament, Jackson makes a game plan of his own and realizes that
his problem-solving and stewardship abilities are hallmarks of a
true MVP. Just like Jackson, award-winning author Kari-Lynn Winters
grew up playing in the shadow of a big hockey family. In On the
Line she demonstrates with heart and humor how scoring goals is not
the only path to team heroism. An author's note furthers the
conversation about sportsmanship, teamwork, and building supportive
communities. Lively art by award-winning illustrator Scot Ritchie
perfectly captures the action on and off the ice as Jackson learns
to celebrate the skills he has-and to enjoy the game in spite of
the ones he doesn't.
