Boys are Dogs
“With my dog, all I had to do was learn
some rules, pitch my voice a certain
way, and give him commands.

Pepper’s behavior got better every day.
It got me thinking…. Was it actually
possible to train boys like I trained my
dog? “
Once upon a time three
 boys were lost at sea.

 One almost drowned.

One almost went crazy.

  One fell off a cliff.
Ana Shen has a Chinese American father and an
  African American mother. On eighth-grade
graduation day both sets of grandparents are in
    town to celebrate. Ana’s best friend has
convinced her to invite Jaime, the cutest boy in
     school, over for a home-cooked meal.

    Ana feels caught between her grandparents
  constant arguing. But when they all sit down for
 their hot, sour, salty, and sweet meal, Ana comes
to understand how each of these different flavors,
          like family, fit perfectly together.
Meet a Family
with lots of different flavors
Three Guys
     in
Big Trouble!
In a remote area of Alaska, twelve-year-old Willow
helps her father with their sled dogs when she is not
at school, wishing she were more popular. All the
while she is unaware that the animals surrounding
her carry the spirits of ancestors who care for her.
If
                           my
                         parents
                       had called
                     me Diamond,
                   would I have been
                 one of those sparkly
                 kinds of girls? I’m not
               sparkly. I’m definitely not
         a precious diamond – you know,
       the kind of person everyone looks at
    the minute she steps into a room. I’m the
 exact opposite: I’m skinny, average height,
brown hair, and ordinary eyes. Good. I don’t
want to sparkle like a jewel. I would much rather
  blend in than stick out. Also, I’m not one of
     those dog-obsessed kids who talk about
       nothing but racing in the Jr. Iditarod.
          I like being alone with my dogs
           on the trail. Just us, the trees,
              the snow, the stories I see
                 In the animal tracks.
                    No teachers, no
                      parents, no
                       sneak-up-
                         on-you
                          boys.
What if you
could make all
 your wishes
 come true by
simply writing
 them down?
Twelve-year old Gracie is always flying under the
radar of her overworked parents and outspoken
siblings. But when she buys an old journal at a
yard sale, Gracie is stunned to realize that
everything she writes in the journal comes true.

At first Gracie uses the journal selfishly,
controlling her mother’s BlackBerry and
eliminating the dress code at school.

Then she starts to think about bigger issues.
Before she can make headway on any of those
issues, the journal falls into the wrong hands.
Daniel X was born with the
world's most extraordinary
power: the power to create.

This talent has helped him
survive-but couldn't save his
parents who were murdered
by an evil alien.

But Daniel, like his parents, is
also an alien and vows to
hunt down his family's
assassin.
