The Delicate Power of Modesty

EVERY WOMAN IS BORN WITH POWER!





We live in the age of low-rise jeans, belly-button rings, and backless shirts. Many girls and young women today could not even define the word modesty, let alone tell you how to live it out. Teen girls often ask: 

 * Why can't I wear what everyone else is wearing? 
 * My parents are hung up on their old sense of fashion.
 * Times have changed, why can't I? 
 * Isn't is really the guy's problem if he is tempted?

In a fresh and trusted voice, Dannah Gresh has a new message for them: modesty itself is a delicate yet formidable power. In Secret Keeper, she teaches that modesty not only issues a challenge for one man to romantically earn your virtue, but it also expresses your love for and obedience to God.



The book also includes The "Truth or Bare" Fashion Tests and Fashion Challenges that will resonate with teen girls.

Twelve-year-old Myrtle Hardcastle has a passion for justice and a Highly Unconventional obsession with criminal science. Armed with her father's law books and her mum's microscope, Myrtle studies toxicology, keeps abreast of the latest developments in crime scene analysis, and Observes her neighbours in the quiet village of Swinburne, England.



When her next-door neighbour, a wealthy spinster and eccentric breeder of rare flowers, dies under Mysterious Circumstances, Myrtle seizes her chance. With her unflappable governess, Miss Ada Judson, by her side, Myrtle takes it upon herself to prove Miss Wodehouse was murdered and find the killer, even if nobody else believes he - not even her father, the town prosecutor.



With sparkling wit and a tight, twisty plot, Premeditated Myrtle, the first in a series from an award-winning author, introduces a brilliant young investigator ready to take on hard cases and maddening Victorian rules for Young Ladies of Quality in order to earn her place among the most daring and acclaimed amateur detectives of her time or any other.

"As enchanting as it is wise, the true magic of this secret garden story is in its unflinching, heart-wrenching exploration of grief, belonging, and inner strength. Once I stepped into the witch's garden with Piper, I did not want to leave." --Jessica Khoury, author of The Mystwick School of Musicraft
"Piper Peavey is a protagonist all her own in a spellbinding story that has a touch of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and a dab of Circus Mirandus." --Quinn Sosna-Spear, author of The Remarkable Inventions of Walter Mortinson
"Magical and mysterious, a captivating read from start to beautiful end." --Megan Frazer Blakemore, author of The Water Castle and The Story Web

The Secret Garden meets Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children in this rich, charming middle grade adventure about a girl determined to infiltrate her grandmother's enchanted garden with the help of some magically gifted friends.

Mallory Estate is the last place twelve-year-old Piper Peavey wants to spend her summer vacation. The grounds are always cold, the garden out back is dead, a mysterious group of children call the property home, and there's a rumor that Melena M. Mallory--the owner of the estate and Piper's wealthy grandmother--is a witch.

But when Piper's father falls ill, Mallory Estate is exactly where she finds herself.

The grand house and its garden hold many secrets--some of which may even save her father--and Piper will need to believe in herself, her new friends, and magic if she wants to unlock them before it's too late.

Love changes us all.

Learning to walk again is the easy part.

For twelve-year-old Charley, recovering from the accident that shattered her leg is nowhere near as difficult as facing the solitude of a summer without her best friend and with a father who does nothing, now, but work. Solitude means time to think, time to hear for the first time the awful silence left in her world two years ago by her mother's death.

But the summer holds a surprise for Charley, in the form of a mysterious dog who appears in the woods across the lake from her home. In order to connect with this wild spirit she names Coyote, Charley will have to do more than just walk. She will have to follow Coyote into the heart of her memories: the woods her mother loved so much. And she will have to learn to listen past the silence.

This unsentimental, unforgettable story comes straight from the heart of Newbery Honor author Stephanie S. Tolan. As she describes Charley's difficult emotional and physical journey, she weaves together themes of nature, family, and love into a complex and powerful portrait of recovery.
