Does My Head Look Big in This
by Randa Ahdel-Fattah
 |
Sixteen-year-old Amal makes the decision to
start wearing the hijab full- time and everyone has a reaction. Her
parents, her teachers, her friends, people on the street. But she stands
by her decision to embrace her faith and all that it is, even if it does
make her a little different from everyone else.
Can she handle the
taunts of "nappy head," the prejudice of her classmates, and still attract
the cutest boy in school?

Boot Camp
by Todd Strasser
 |
In the middle of the night Garrett is taken from his home to Harmony Lake,
a boot camp for troubled teens. Maybe some kids deserve to be sent there,
but Garrett knows he doesn't. Subjected to brutal physical and
psychological abuse, he tries to fight back, but the battle is futile. He
won't be allowed to leave until he's admitted his "mistakes" and conformed
to Harmony Lake's standards of behavior. And there's no way to fake it.
Beaten, humiliated, and stripped of his pride, Garrett's spirit is slowly
ebbing away. Then he hears whispers of an escape plot. It's incredibly
risky -- if he's caught, the consequences will be unthinkable -- but it
may be his only way out.
