See you in the cosmos by Jack Cheng

All eleven-year-old Alex wants is to launch his iPod into space. With a series of audio recordings, he will show other life forms out in the cosmos what life on Earth is really like.

But for a boy with a long-dead dad, a troubled mum and a mostly-not -around brother, Alex struggles with the big questions.

Where do I come from?
Who’s out there?
And above all,
How can I be brave?

Determined to find the answers, Alex sets out on a remarkable road trip that will turn his whole world upside down….

Not if I see you first by Eric Lindstrom

The rules according to Parker Grant:

Don’t deceive me. Ever. Especially using my blindness. Especially in public.

Don’t be weird. Seriously other than having my eyes closed all the time, I’m just like you only smarter.

There are NO second chances. Violate my trust and I will never trust you again. Betrayal is unforgivable.

Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy

Willowdean Dickson (Dumplin’, to her family) has been at home in her own skin. Her thoughts on having the ultimate bikini body? Really the criteria is simple. Do you have a body? Put a swimsuit on it.

But life as Willow knows it is about to change, and when this happens she suffers an unaccustomed, and unwelcome, attack of self-doubt. In an effort to take back her confidence, she enters the local Miss Teen Blue Bonnet beauty pageant.

With starry Texas nights, red candy suckers, Dolly Parton songs and a wildly unforgettable heroine – Dumplin’ is guaranteed to steal your heart. And send you out to buy that bikini!
