Three authors. Three appealing and relatable characters. One smart YA novel about a trio of unlikely friends who team up to take down the school cyberbully. 

 

"Mean stuff spreads so fast. One click. Post. Send. Share. Online bullying = sometimes suicides, so all the private schools have strategies for dealing with it. At St Hilda's, it's Wellness classes. We greeted the idea with genuine enthusiasm. Why not? Everyone loves the chance to slack off."

 

Popular Ady seems cool and confident at school, but at home her family is falling apart. Brainiac Kate wants to pursue her dreams of playing music, even if it jeopardizes her academic scholarship. And swim champ Clem finds herself disenchanted with the sport . . . and falling for a very wrong boy. When these three very different girls are forced to team up in a wellness class, they're not too pleased. But over time, they bond--and when they're all targeted by PSST, a website that dishes out malicious gossip and lies, they decide to take a stand, uncover the culprits, and fight back. But can they really fix a broken system? With each girl's story told by a different author, as well as intriguing questionnaires from the wellness class included throughout, this empowering novel explores today's most relevant topics-- from cyberbullying and fat shaming to drug abuse and financial stress.

A Practical Guide to Life's Essential Daily Habit

The author uses his own spiritual journey to illustrate how tending to your soul through prayer can change your life for the better. -- Provided by publisher.Most of us are trying to put together the jigsaw puzzle we call life without a very important piece. Over time this becomes incredibly frustrating. In this extraordinary book, Matthew Kelly powerfully demonstrates that we cannot live the life we have imagined, or experience the joy we yearn for, unless we learn to tend the soul. From there, with his classic style of practical wisdom, he teaches us how to remedy this problem. When our bodies are hungry, our stomachs growl. When our souls are hungry, we become irritable, restless, confused, overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, discontent, and tend to focus on the things that matter least and neglect the things that matter most. Are you taking care of your soul? Are you feeding it and nurturing it? Or are you ignoring it and neglecting it? The reality is, most people have never really been taught how to tend their souls. I Heard God Laugh will help you to do just that, and so much more. If you ever wondered how Matthew Kelly has been able to write and speak the way he has over the past three decades, he is about to share his secret with you. As he shares what transformed his life, along with intimate details of his own journey and struggle, he teaches us how to apply the great spiritual lessons learned to our own lives. At every turn he floods the reader with hope and demonstrates unmistakably that the best is yet to come! -- Provided by publisher.

Avoiding Relapse Through Self-Awareness and Right Action

In addition to staying connected to our support systems and avoiding opportunities to use during the coronavirus pandemic, we can also keep confronting and conquering the self-destructive things we think and do that undercut our health and sanity.

In simple, down-to-earth language, Dr. Allen Berger introduces us to twelve of the most common assumptions and attitudes that can sabotage recovery--and gives us the tools to overcome these challenges. This useful guide helps us keep our recovery going strong with fresh perspectives on how the process of change begins with basic self-awareness and a commitment to working a daily program. 

Although there are many ways to mess up recovery, Dr. Berger identifies critically important and widespread patterns of thought and behavior. These include:

- confusing self-concern with selfishness 

- not making amends 

- using the program to try to become perfect 

- not getting help for relationship troubles 

- believing that life should be easy 

This highly accessible book helps us become more honest with ourselves and face the self-defeating thoughts and actions that put our sobriety at risk.

A Novel

Finalist for the Governor General's Literary Award for Young People's Literature-Text Dads can be such a drag Life has been a struggle for Toby Goodman. Her mother died by suicide five years ago, and her father left their small town before Toby was born. Now a teenager living on her grandparents' dairy farm, Toby has trouble letting people in. She keeps even her closest friend, the brash but endearing Trisha, at arm's length, and recently ended her first relationship, with Trisha's burnout brother, Mike. Convinced that she is destined to follow her mother's path, Toby creates a plan to escape her pain. But after learning the news that her father is coming home and finally wants to meet her, Toby must face the truth of her family's story. Not only is her father gay, but he's also a world-famous female impersonator--and a self-absorbed, temperamental man-child who is ill-prepared to be a real parent. When Toby's careful plans go awry, she is forced to rebuild the life she thought she knew from the ground up. While she may not follow an expected path, through the support of a quirky but lovable circle of friends and family, Toby may finally be able to put together the many different pieces that make up her past, her present and her future.

Emotional Awareness

New York Times mega-bestselling author of The Seat of the Soul, Gary Zukav takes a giant leap forward in his message, with this guide to the next level of spiritual growth.

"THE LONGEST JOURNEY YOU WILL MAKE IN YOUR LIFE IS FROM YOUR HEAD TO YOUR HEART."

With the rare combination of profound psychological insight and deep spirituality that has already drawn millions of readers to his two great national bestsellers, The Seat of the Soul and Soul Stories, prizewinning author Gary Zukav now joins with his spiritual partner Linda Francis to help us develop a new emotional awareness that is central to our spiritual development.

In The Seat of the Soul, Zukav brilliantly set forth his fundamental concepts, explaining how the expansion of human perception beyond the five senses leads to a new understanding of power as the alignment of the personality with the soul -- "authentic power." In Soul Stories, he showed how such concepts as harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for Life express themselves in other people's lives. Now, in The Heart of the Soul, he and Francis take the next major step forward in showing us the importance of emotional awareness in applying these concepts to our own daily lives.

The Hidden Life of Garbage

Eat a take-out meal, buy a pair of shoes, or read a newspaper, and you're soon faced with a bewildering amount of garbage. The United States is the planet's number-one producer of trash. Each American throws out 4.5 pounds daily. But garbage is also a global problem; the Pacific Ocean is today six times more abundant with plastic waste than zooplankton. How did we end up with this much rubbish, and where does it all go? Journalist and filmmaker Heather Rogers answers these questions by taking readers on a grisly, oddly fascinating tour through the underworld of garbage.

Said to "read like a thriller" (Library Journal), Gone Tomorrow excavates the history of rubbish handling from the 1800s to the present, pinpointing the roots of today's waste-addicted society. With a "lively authorial voice" (New York Press), Rogers draws connections between modern industrial production, consumer culture, and our throwaway lifestyle. She also investigates controversial topics like the politics of recycling and the export of trash to poor countries, while offering a potent argument for change.


Gone Tomorrow

A small book about letting go of a victim mentality. 183 pages. Slight wear on cover top and bottom at spine. 

The messages contained in this handbook are intended to lift mankind from the entrapment of the victim consciousness that keeps the level of experience ensnared in fear and frustration. Humanity was intended to live, not in luxury, but in abundance. The information found between these covers will lead all that read and reread with an open mind to the discovery of the truth of who and what they truly are. The end of the search for these answers is provided at last in clarity and conciseness.

Black and Brown Pain

This book boldly confronts the reality of black/brown mental pain head on. There is a systematic and racist belief that black/brown people can deal with and ignore pain better than any other race. Speaking from experience in the minority communities of America, there is a negative stigma surrounding mental health. Instead of seeking professional heap for conditions such as ptsd, depression and anxiety many resorts to self-medication, drug, opioids, alcohol, etc. or isolation in an attempt to solve their problem on their own. Black/brown people are reluctant to discuss mental health issues and seek treatment because of the shame and stigma still associated with such conditions in our communities. As a black person it is not easy expressing emotional pain because we are told not to show those emotions. I am approaching it both from community education and cultural competency. Laquita D. Wright knows that black & brown people are hurting. She knows because she is one of them. "Mental Health Awareness: Black & Brown Pain," shed lights on the need to improve access to mental health treatment within the underrepresented communities. For many centuries, Indigenous people of color have experienced trauma in all aspect of our lives. This book is a must read and a guide to finding relief through mental help.

How to Turn on and Turn up Your Mindset

We have all heard the self-help gurus throw around the term "Mindset" as being the key to success. The problem is they use the term freely without ever answering the question, "What is my mindset made of and how do I get the one I want?" After posing that question for two years to every expert he could find, PJ McClure set out on a 12-year quest to discover the answer himself. Interviewing and studying hundreds of people who were successful in every area of life and comparing them with thousands who were not, PJ uncovered the greatest public secret of our age. In Flip the S.W.I.T.C.H., PJ McClure reveals the seven pieces of your mindset and how you can take control of each one to program yourself for whatever success you desire. Through his personal stories of discovery and those the people he has studied, you learn how close you already are to life-long success, fulfillment and happiness. PJ's message of choice, possibility and personal responsibility has already transformed thousands of lives in 23 countries. Now it's time for yours.
