Ready or Not! #1
Author: Megan E. Bryant
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0593226542
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
From prolific author Megan E. Bryant comes the first book in a young middle-grade series about nine-year-old Abby, a girl trying to grapple with all the chaos that can come from growing up. For nine-year-old Abby McAdams, everything seems to be changing. Her cousin and best friend, Zoe, has moved across the country, her mom is going back to work, and Abby is stuck in the only after-school activity still available--running--which she absolutely loathes. Her perspective on the world is changing, too, after an encounter in her community sheds light on the issue of homelessness in her town. On top of everything, sudden changes in Abby's body mean she has to deal with things like deodorant, bras, and uncomfortable conversations. And without her best friend by her side, she's not sure she can handle it all. She's not a grown-up yet, but she definitely doesn't feel like a little kid anymore. She's Abby, in between. Ready or Not! is an accessible and positive exploration of the early stages of puberty, and is the perfect pairing to nonfiction guides like The Care and Keeping of You: The Body Book for Younger Girls.

The Mystery of the Disappearing Underpants

ISBN: 1788036891
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
“Have you ever had something lucky? A pair of trainers that helped you run faster, a pen that made you have the best ideas, a hat that every time you wore it, you won at chess? Well I have my lucky underpants. At least I did until they went missing. Right when I needed them most.” Based on the street where the author grew up, The Mystery of the Disappearing Underpants is a spy story with a difference. When Harry and James form a secret agency for the summer, their first task is to investigate the disappearance of Harry’s lucky underpants and to prevent nosey neighbour, Stacey, from interfering in their business. But when a mysterious couple move into an old house on their street, the children are intrigued. Harry and James must join forces with Stacey in order to uncover what is going on at number 35. And with Harry’s attention diverted from the hunt for his lucky underpants, will he ever be able to find them? Nikki’s debut children’s book explores the consequences of children unknowingly involving themselves with dangerous criminals. It also contains an uplifting and empowering message that will encourage young readers to realise their strengths and believe in themselves. Taking inspiration from Enid Blyton, Judy Blume and Roald Dahl, Nikki’s debut children’s book will appeal to readers aged 9-11 years that enjoy spy and mystery stories.

What Is All This?
Author: Stephen Dixon
Publisher: Fantagraphics Books
ISBN: 1606995278
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 565
Book Description
A massive tome from one of America's greatest living writers. Stephen Dixon’s work has earned him a Guggenheim Fellowship, the American Academy Institute of Arts and Letters Prize for Fiction, the O. Henry Award, and the Pushcart Prize. Fantagraphics Books is proud to re-present his 2010 hardcover collection of short stories, What Is All This?, in paperback form. Dixon’s finely chiseled sentences cut to the quick of people’s lives. None of these stories have been collected in any book before; they have appeared in a wide variety of literary journals over almost 40 years and Dixon has entirely rewritten all of them. Dixon admirers will be cheered to learn that these stories comprise a wholly original work. Centrally concerning himself with the American condition, Dixon explores obsessions of body image, the increasingly polarized political landscape, sex ― in all its incarnations ― and the gloriously pointless minutiae of modern life, from bus rides to tying shoelaces. Using the canvas of his native New York he astutely captures the edgy madness that infects the city through the neuroses of his narrators with a style that owes as much to Neo-Realist cinema as it does to modern literature.
