Book Description
An adventure_filled coming of age story set in World War II era Austin, Texas. It is the summer of 1942, and young teen Charlie Hardin has been set loose on the streets of Austin, Texas with only one command from his parents: stay out of trouble. Charlie means to do just that. He never wants to disobey, but sometimes in a boy's life situations come up that he cannot ignore and still be true_blue to his own restless soul. And when that time comes . . . It's up to Charlie Hardin. It's up to Charlie Hardin when a secret path over a wall topped with glass shards needs cutting through an ancient oak, even if that means venturing out on the brittle ends of tree limbs where any fall could break an arm, a leg_or a neck. It's up to Charlie Hardin when a dog_shooting neighbor must be taught to keep his hands off Charlie's loyal best friend, even if that means inventing the world's most effective long_range pumpkin slingshot. And it's up to Charlie Hardin to explore a boy_sized storm culvert that leads into darkness simply because that's what a red_blooded boy has to do, even if it leads to the heart of a perilous criminal plot built on Nazi schemes and greed. Charlie understands that, no matter the cost, when danger arrives at his doorstep, to be brave, resolute, clever_and sometimes just a tiny bit nuts_is the only thing that counts, when all is said and done. For the one surefire ingredient every glorious summer adventure always requires is a willing and resolute adventurer. And in Austin, Texas, in the summer of 1942, that adventurer comes in the form of one unstoppable young teenager named Charlie Hardin!

My So-Called Superpowers: All the Feels
Author: Heather Nuhfer
Publisher: Imprint
ISBN: 1250138655
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 153
Book Description
My So-Called Superpowers: All the Feels is the third book in a heartwarming middle-grade series about a girl whose emotions turn into uncontrollable superpowers. Veronica’s powers have taught her a lot—about her family, her friends, and how to be herself. They’ve also literally rained on her parade, turned her green with jealousy, and set her school on fire. You win some, you lose some. Now Veronica’s finally figuring out how to control her superpowers. But then she discovers there might be a way to get rid of them forever—and to live a “normal” life. Featuring ten black-and-white illustrations by Simini Blocker, All the Feels raises the stakes for this middle-school girl who has to decide if being “normal” is as fun as going on a roller-coaster ride of superpowered emotion. An Imprint Book Praise for My So-Called Superpowers: “Heather Nuhfer has hilariously and achingly captured what it’s like to be in middle school, trying to control the weird things that make you different but also super. It’s impossible not to root for Veronica. Super real, super fun, and just generally and genuinely super.” —Dana Simpson, New York Times–bestselling author of the Phoebe and Her Unicorn series “My So-Called Superpowers is vibrant, lively, and hums along at a snappy pace. It has a genuinely warm, welcoming Saturday-morning cartoon feeling to it.”—Tony Cliff, New York Times–bestselling author of the Delilah Dirk series
