Rosie isn't your normal '90s girl. It's not that she's the new kid in junior high. It's not the creepy apartment building she lives in. It's not even her dead mother (and deadbeat dad). It's the shadow people - strange, ghost-like beings that visit her in the night and tell her things. But what do they want? Are they trying to hurt her, protect her or both? It's up to Rosie to unravel the mystery, all the while navigating cute boys, mean girls and all the rest of the pitfalls of the 7th grade."'Rosie and the Shadow People' is a scary but emotionally gripping adolescent thriller with awesome '90s retro details. Fans of Christopher Pike will enjoy Rosie's interactions with the shadow people...and her harrowing investigation into why they're following her." - Zoe Aarsen, author of "Light as a Feather"

Book Description
One summer's night in 1946, over 1,000 European Jews waited silently on an Italian beach to board a secret ship. They had survived Auschwitz, hidden and fought in forests and endured death marches--now they were taking on the Royal Navy, running the British blockade of Palestine. From Eastern Europe to Israel via Germany and Italy, Rosie Whitehouse follows in the footsteps of those secret passengers, uncovering their extraordinary stories--some told for the first time. Who were those people on the beach? Where and what had they come from, and how had they survived? Why, after being liberated, did so many Jews still feel unsafe in Europe? How do we--and don't we--remember the Holocaust today? This remarkable, important book digs deep and travels far in search of answers.

Lighter Than My Shadow
Author: Katie Green
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1407086189
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 517
Book Description
A poignant, heart-lifting graphic memoir about anorexia, eating disorders and the journey to recovery Like most kids, Katie was a picky eater. She’d sit at the table in silent protest, hide uneaten toast in her bedroom, listen to parental threats that she’d have to eat it for breakfast. But in any life a set of circumstance can collide, and normal behaviour might soon shade into something sinister, something deadly. Lighter Than My Shadow is a hand-drawn story of struggle and recovery, a trip into the black heart of a taboo illness, an exposure of those who are so weak as to prey on the vulnerable, and an inspiration to anybody who believes in the human power to endure towards happiness. ‘Even at its most heartbreaking it never feels sombre ... Inspiring, plucky and, in the end, consoling, it’s hard to put down’ Observer
