"Astrid Jones copes with her small town's gossip and narrow-mindedness by staring at the sky and imagining that she's sending love to the passengers in the airplanes flying high over her backyard. Maybe they'll know what to do with it. Maybe it'll make them happy. Maybe they'll need it. Her mother doesn't want it, her father's always stoned, her perfect sister's too busy trying to fit in, and the people in her small town would never allow her to love the person she really wants to: another girl named Dee. There's no one Astrid feels she can talk to about this deep secret or the profound questions that she's trying to answer. But little does she know just how much sending her love--and asking the right questions--will affect the passengers' lives, and her own, for the better"--

Attack of the Black Rectangles

Four teenagers are on the verge of exploding. The anxieties they face at every turn have nearly pushed them to the point of surrender: senseless high-stakes testing, the lingering damage of past trauma, the buried grief and guilt of tragic loss. They are desperate to cope, but no one is listening.

Dark Minds

Award-winning author Amy Sarig King takes on censorship and intolerance in a novel she was born to write. When Mac first opens his classroom copy of Jane Yolen's The Devil’s Arithmetic and finds some words blacked out, he thinks it must be a mistake. But then when he and his friends discover what the missing words are, he's outraged. Someone in his school is trying to prevent kids from reading the full story. But who? Even though his unreliable dad tells him to not get so emotional about a book (or anything else), Mac has been raised by his mom and grandad to call out things that are wrong. He and his friends head to the principal's office to protest the censorship... but her response doesn't take them seriously. So many adults want Mac to keep his words to himself. Mac's about to see the power of letting them out. In Attack of the Black Rectangles, acclaimed author Amy Sarig King shows all the ways truth can be hard... but still worth fighting for.

Year We Fell from Space

A 1a coisa que você precisa saber é que tudo o que eu fiz foi uma pergunta idiota. A 2a coisa que você precisa saber é que essa pergunta idiota me trouxe muitos problemas com Nader McMillan, o cara que faz bullying comigo desde que eu tinha 7 anos. E uma semana atrás ele pegou bem pesado comigo. Foi aí que eu comecei a ver formigas. A 3a coisa que você precisa saber é que meu avô Harry desapareceu durante a Guerra do Vietnã e nunca foi encontrado. Então, todas as noites, eu tento resgatá-lo da sua prisão na selva em meus sonhos. Mas nunca consigo. A 4a coisa que você precisa saber é que minha mãe é uma lula e meu pai, uma tartaruga. Ela tenta afogar os seus problemas nadando o dia todo em uma piscina pública, e ele nunca está por perto e desaparece dentro da casca no primeiro sinal de confronto. Então, se juntarmos Nader McMillan, a minha pergunta idiota, vovô, e tudo o mais na minha vida, somos só eu e as formigas. "A grande sacada de Todo mundo vê formigas é que ele vai ajudá-lo a entender que as pessoas que parecem muito diferentes de você, na verdade são muito parecidas. Faça um enorme favor a você mesmo e leia este livro!" – James Patterson, autor da série best-seller Bruxos e Bruxas
