Letting Go of Stress
by R. W. Alley J. S. JacksonChildren aren't immune to stress. Kids are especially prone to feel fear before stressful events in their lives. Family, school, and team sports' schedules have been crammed into their daily activities so extensively that many children are robbed of their free recreational "growth" time, and an alarming number of kids are experiencing high levels of stress because of this. All of these realities can lead to our children having the same kinds of fears and concerns we adults have, especially about things they often have no control over. In this invaluable book, author J. S. Jackson helps children explore attitudes and ideas to try and diminish some of the stress they feel in their lives.

Letting Swift River Go
by Jane YolenIn the middle of this century, the Swift River towns in western Massachusetts were drowned -- purchased by the government and flooded in order to form the Quabbin Reservoir. Letting Swift River Go tells of this dramatic event through the eyes of a young girl, Sally Jane, as she watches her thriving hometown transformed into a wilderness and then submerged. Sally Jane's story vividly recalls life and changing times in rural America: playing by the Old Stone Mill and later watching it be torn down; harvesting maple sap and seeing those same trees uprooted; walking to school along a winding blacktop road and returning many years later to float above that same road in a rowboat on the new reservoir. Exquisite illustrations by two-time Caldecott medalist Barbara Cooney capture the changing landscape and the people of New England in Jane Yolen's lyrical, evocative story. Drawn from history, Letting Swift River Go proves that the memory of a place can stay with you always.

Levantarse del polvo (Polvo y estrellas #3)
by Kevin KillianyPolvo es para los héroes. Mara Duval, una espacial nacida en la Estación Tombaugh, bajó a la Tierra preparada para soportar seis semanas de exilio en este páramo atestado de enfermedades y desgarrado por la guerra que los espaciales llaman polvo. En su lugar, descubrió que el control absoluto que el Servicio Espacial tiene sobre el acceso al espacio está construido sobre mentiras, y a la gente que merece ser parte de la búsqueda por las estrellas se le niega este derecho. Mara empezó a correr la voz, y por sus crímenes fue “desaparecida” sin previo aviso. Pero el Servicio Espacial necesita desesperadamente de gente que explore y colonice los mundos exteriores, jóvenes que puedan ser moldeados según la tradición espacial. Para atraer la atención nacional, lanzan la primera competencia de Campo de Entrenamiento: un concurso de varios meses de duración, en el que los doce primeros finalistas ganarán un codiciado lugar en el Entrenamiento de Oficiales Junior del Servicio Espacial. Y gracias a Mara, el Campo de Entrenamiento está abierto a cualquiera. Jael Alden siempre ha sabido que su futuro está en las estrellas —pero décadas de discriminación por parte del Servicio Espacial están en su camino. El Campo de Entrenamiento le da una oportunidad para enfrentarse directamente al Servicio Espacial, para hacer que uno de esos puestos sea suyo. No le importa que la competencia esté arreglada en su contra, diseñada para hacer que todos los contendientes fallen. Jael toda su vida ha deseado las estrellas —y está dispuesta a arriesgarlo todo para demostrar que los mejores siempre se levantarán del polvo. "La prosa deliciosamente inmersiva de Kevin Killiany te jala junto a los personajes, su situación, su locación y sus vidas. Una lectura muy convincente." ~ Keith R. A. DeCandido, Autor de novelas en "Star Trek,” “Supernatural,” “Sleepy Hollow,” y más. Evolved Pub
