As the daughter of a drug dealer, Wavy knows not to trust people, not even her own parents. It's safer to keep her mouth shut and stay out of sight. Struggling to raise her little brother, Donal, eight-year-old Wavy is the only responsible adult around. Obsessed with the constellations, she finds peace in the starry night sky above the fields behind her house until one night her stargazing causes an accident. After witnessing his motorcycle wreck, she forms an unusual friendship with one of her father's thugs, Kellen, a tattooed ex-con with a heart of gold.

Pedophilia apologist piece
Revisado: 08-02-20
This books seems to dive into the question “Is it ever acceptable to groom a child into becoming an older man’s lover? What if the child had really messed up parents and the adult male lover was TRYING not to give in was super super nice. What if the child really, really , REALLY WANTED IT? Maybe then! “ unfortunately, most men and women who have an attraction to children and young adolescents see themselves as “the good guys” wanting to show the kids “real love.” Look at NAMBLA. Look at Mary K Laterneau. It’s a pedophila apologist’s love story. I’m sure this book will be used as an excuse to go for it for ages to come.

He’s the president with the asterisk by his name: Richard Milhous Nixon, the only US president to resign from office. But Richard Nixon’s legacy to the history of the US is much more complicated than the scandal of Watergate. His is the classic story of American legend - a young man who rose from his humble roots to achieve power and influence. Was Nixon a villain or a hero? Meet the president whose personality consisted of conflicting layers of pragmatism, patriotism, and self-doubt, which caused a fall from grace that roiled American democracy.

Tiny little flaws in the recording is the only reason this did not receive a perfect score. This was very informative!

Kirsten Raymonde will never forget the night Arthur Leander, the famous Hollywood actor, had a heart attack on stage during a production of King Lear. That was the night when a devastating flu pandemic arrived in the city, and within weeks, civilization as we know it came to an end.

A groundbreaking story about a teenage girl who discovers she's intersex...and what happens when her secret is revealed to the entire school. Incredibly compelling and sensitively told, None of the Above is a thought-provoking novel that explores what it means to be a boy, a girl, or something in between.

A keeper

I'm a homeschooling mom who is always on the prowl for quality YA books. I'd like to teach my children not only about history, math and science but also about life and issues in addition outside their own realm of possible personal experiences. I thought this book was very thought provoking and emotional, and that teens who have never heard of the term " intersex" might.not only learn the meaning, but get to " live" as someone going through the diagnosis and learning to cope with being so different. it was very well written and relatable. I qi definitely keep this in our home library
