Growing Life

Le début de l’été n’a pas été de tout repos pour les BFF. Torbinouche (comme dirait Émy), la seconde moitié s’annonce tout aussi difficile ! Il suffit parfois de peu de choses pour basculer dans la dépendance. Pour Nadeige, un simple jeu vidéo est à l’origine de bien des dérapages. Nuit et jour, elle rêve de massacrer des monstres, de terminer des niveaux et de gagner des bâtons lumineux. Mais pendant ce temps, elle passe à côté de la vraie vie.

Bronte Mettlestone is 10 years old when her parents are killed by pirates. This does not bother her particularly: Her parents ran away to have adventures when she was a baby. She has been raised by her aunt Isabelle, with assistance from the butler, and has spent a pleasant childhood of afternoon teas and riding lessons. Now, however, her parents have left detailed instructions for Bronte in their will. (Instructions that, annoyingly, have been reinforced with faery cross-stitch, which means that if she doesn't complete them, terrible things could happen!)

In this third installment of the Minecraft Gamer's Adventure series, Steve is invited to participate in an elite building competition on Mushroom Island. His friends - Max, Lucy, and Henry - are impressed and want to join their friend on a journey to the island.

Depuis qu’elle est en couple avec Talbot, Émy-Lee file le parfait bonheur. Son amoureux est gentil, drôle, et surtout, il est très attentionné.

Peut-être devrait-elle s’en débarrasser ?

The Boy lives in a cottage with his mother and father, and the Dragon lives in a cave on the Downs. The Boy is his only friend. The Dragon is not at all the sort of Dragon one might expect to meet, however: he's polite and friendly.

A distinctive new voice: Rex Ogle's story of starting middle school on the free lunch program is timely, heartbreaking, and true. Free Lunch is the story of Rex Ogle's first semester in sixth grade. Rex and his baby brother often went hungry, wore secondhand clothes, and were short of school supplies, and Rex was on his school's free lunch program. Grounded in the immediacy of physical hunger and the humiliation of having to announce it every day in the school lunch line, Rex's is a compelling story of a more profound hunger - that of a child for his parents' love and care.
