The Reason for Janey
by Nancy Hope WilsonPhilly’s life changes greatly when, after her parents' divorce, her mother takes in Janey, a retarded adult, to live with them. "I like to know the reasons for things,” says Philura Higley Mason. “When I know the reason for something, it fits. I can manage it.” She especially wants to know why Janey, a mentally retarded woman who moved in four months ago, fits into the family better than Dad, who moved out three years ago. After all, what makes a family a family? Last year, Philly won first prize at the fifth-grade science fair, so this year, superbrain Danny Stapleton is determined to outdo her. But Philly can’t even choose a topic. She’s wondering instead about Janey--that little-girl locket she wears, that mismatched pack of cards she carries, and that place she lived that makes Mom strangely angry: the Morrisville State School for the Mentally Retarded. And when Janey’s mother died, what happened to her father? As Philly uncovers Janey’s past, she unexpectedly collides with her own. Suddenly she must confront new truths about Dad, about Mom, and about herself. (She even makes some discoveries about Danny Stapleton.) The author of Bringing Nettie Back (also Macmillan U.S.A.) has artfully interwoven such complex issues as divorce, mental retardation, keeping secrets, and what it really means to be a family.

How could Evan Mathews unravel my constant universe in just one day?” In the affluent town of Weslyn, Connecticut, where most people worry about what to be seen in and who to be seen with, Emma Thomas would rather not be seen at all.

It challenges her to recognize her own worth―at the risk of revealing the terrible secret she’s desperate to hide. Reason to Breathe is one girl’s story of life-changing love, unspeakable cruelty, and her precarious grasp of hope.

Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm: Revised Edition Of Original Version (Rebecca Of Sunnybrook Farm Ser. #No. 1)
by Kate Douglas Wiggin Annie DaltonA delightful children's classic tells the story of young Rebecca Rowena Randall, the mischief she gets into, and the difference she makes to the lives of those around her Set in Riverboro, Maine, this quintessentially American story is a remarkable depiction of rural life in the United States at the turn of the 20th century. We first meet Rebecca when she is on her way to live with her spinster aunts, Miranda and Jane, due to her family's financial straits. She has left behind her beloved home she grew up in, Sunnybrook Farm, her widowed mother, and six siblings. A cheerful and imaginative little girl, Rebecca soon forms a close bond with her Aunt Jane. Her natural wit and charm also endear Rebecca to the people of the village, who are struck by her positivity. However there remains a shadow over Rebecca's happiness: Aunt Miranda is baffled by her niece's vivid imagination, and childish wonder at all she sees. But when her mother falls ill and Rebecca is forced to look after her old farmstead home as well as her ailing mother, it may just be that Miranda has grown fond of her niece after all.

HarrisHugely popular when it was first published in 1903 and admired by authors from Jack London to Mark Twain, this delightful novel introduced a heroine as irrepressible and fun-loving as Tom Sawyer, who would serve as a role model for a century of American girls and women. When ten- year-old Rebecca Randall comes to live with flinty aunt Miranda and her sentimental sister Jane in a small town in Maine, they expect to turn her into a proper young lady. Instead, Rebecca will end up changing them. Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farmis as charming today as it was one hundred years ago and is unexpectedly poignant in its evocation of an America contemplating the choices open to women facing their futures in a new era.
