Book Description
When Gabby Rendons co-worker and self-proclaimed boss accuses Gabby of embezzlement, she is forced to resign her position as glorified clerk at a church affiliated after-school program or face felony charges. Gabby wants nothing more than her safe, if dull, job and life back (secrets and all) after her identity is stolen, her only asset mortgaged, her reputation among her peers ruined, and her favorite tuberous begonia brutalized by a thug searching her things for a jump drive that can prove her innocence if only she can unlock it. An eccentric elderly church matron employs and eventually befriends Gabby. In the process, the matron wrecks Gabbys car, gives her terrible love-life advice regarding the aptly named Leroy Moody and assists Gabby in amateur sleuthing that lands Gabby in jail and accused of murdering her former co-worker.

Except Harlowe's white. And not from the Bronx. And she definitely doesn't have all the answers . . . In a summer bursting with queer brown dance parties, a sexy fling with a motorcycling librarian, and intense explorations of race and identity, Juliet learns what it means to come out--to the world, to her family, to herself.

Pages : 0
Book Description
Case File: The Second Unsittable Summary: Here at A.L.I.E.N. we believe in strengthening the bonds between humans and intergalactics so that one day all beings can live together on Earth in harmony. That day has not come. But our Associates are working hard to achieve this goal, including Gabby Duran, Associate 4118-25125A, Sitter to the Unsittables. Upon successfully completing her first mission, we have assigned Gabby a more . . . puzzling charge. The relationship between trolls and humans has always been rife with tension, and the troll family Gabby is assigned to is especially prickly. But Gabby is not fazed. Our footage shows Associate 4118-25125A playing, laughing, and snacking with Trymmy, the little troll boy, who seems to be thoroughly enjoying himself. Our liaison, Edwina, informed Gabby that trolls love nothing more than a riddle-and stealing items from unsuspecting humans to add to their trove-but Gabby's certain that all this young troll wants is to have fun. However, it might not be as simple as she thinks. After all, there's a reason this particular alien offspring has been labeled "Unsittable." Praise for Gabby Duran: Troll Control "Imaginative details and an action-packed plot make this a fun read." -School Library Journal "[N]ail-bitingly suspenseful. . . .The action is zippy, and there is effective humor built in to balance Gabby's trials. . . .Sitters, take note: even if your charges aren't as unusual as Gabby's, there are plenty of cool ideas to borrow here about the perfect babysitting backpack that will save all sorts of situations." -Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Praise for Gabby Duran and the Unsittables "Positively intergalactic." -Kirkus Reviews "Goofy inventions, wild plot, and peppy dialogue? [A] briskly plotted crowd-pleaser." -Booklist "The humorous details and quick plot make this a fun book for reluctant and avid readers alike." -School Library Journal
