One way she is still able to feel close to him is by doing what she does best: baking. He taught her everything she knows. But when tasting her creations causes a deep stabbing pain in her abdomen, she tries to power through and be strong in the same way she powers through her emotional pain. She doesn’t mind too much--she’s okay with sharing her baked goods at school in the hopes of making new friends.Lucky for Tess, her baking skills attract the right kind of attention, and she assembles a ragtag team to help her taste her new and classic creations in preparation for the Jubilee Flour Junior Baker West Coast competition. This is a chance to redeem herself and prove that she's a star baker. Above all, Tess is desperate to win first place and make her dad proud.But leading up to the competition, Tess's pain gets worse and worse, and, soon, she finds that she's avoiding so many foods that she's barely eating. When the physical pain becomes too great, Tess will be forced to confront everything she has been trying so desperately to hide.From Newbery Honor author Kirby Larson and her daughter, debut author Quinn Wyatt, comes a poignant, sometimes silly, and always moving story of coming to grips with grief and finding the sweet filling inside every treat.Praise for Gut Reaction by Kirby Larson and Quinn Wyatt:"A powerful story about living with a disease and not letting it define who you are."--Alan Gratz, New York Times bestselling author of Refugee and Two Degrees."Kirby Larson and Quinn Wyatt have cooked up a rich, warm story about Crohn's Disease, courage, and cookies. The voice is heartfelt and authentic, leavened with humor and, oh my frog, delicious desserts. Gut Reaction is a wonderful book about important things, and I recommend it highly."--Karen Cushman, author of the Newbery Award-winning The Midwife's Apprentice."A multi-layered, straight-from-the-heart story written with a light, deft touch,Gut Reaction will inspire readers to pursue their creative passions. I loved this touching, sweet, and engaging book!"--Barbara Dee, award-winning author of Unstuck."Sweet and delicious! You will gobble up this book in one bite!"--Jennifer L. Holm, New York Times bestselling author of The Fourteenth Goldfish."Gut Reaction is a much-needed and important book for everyone: those suffering with Crohn's disease, their family and friends who want to help them, and for all the rest who need to understand. Written with the voice of authenticity by a mother/daughter team who know firsthand the effects of this painful and often embarrassing disease. Toss in a handful of lovable and diverse characters and an edge-of-your-seat cooking competition and Gut Reaction is a recipe for success."--Barbara O'Connor, author of How To Steal A Dog and WISH."I would have finished Gut Reaction in one swoop--but I didn't want it to end. I especially loved the baking connection, but the story's honesty, the humor and the friendships added so many layers. If the topic seems serious--and it is, the way Tess struggles to accept her illness will resonate with readers. Tess Medina is an inspiration. Her story will be one you'll remember long after that last page is turned."--Augusta Scattergood, author of Glory Be and The Way To Stay In Destiny."Great British Baking Show meets Guts by Raina Telgemeie

Guyland: The Perilous World Where Boys Become Men
by Michael KimmelThe passage from adolescence to adulthood was once clear. Today, growing up has become more complex and confusing, as young men drift casually through college and beyond--hanging out, partying, playing with tech toys, watching sports. But beneath the appearance of a simple extended boyhood, a more dangerous social world has developed, far away from the traditional signposts and cultural signals that once helped boys navigate their way to manhood--a territory Michael Kimmel has identified as "Guyland." In mapping the troubling social world where men are now made, Kimmel offers a view into the minds and times of America's sons, brothers, and boyfriends, and he works toward redefining what it means to be a man today--and tomorrow. Only by understanding this world and this life stage can we enable young men to chart their own paths, stay true to themselves, and emerge safely from Guyland as responsible and fully formed male adults.
Guyland: The Perilous World Where Boys Become Men
by Michael KimmelOne of the most eminent scholars and writers on men and masculinity and the author of the critically acclaimed Manhood in America turns his attention to the culture of guys, aged 16 to 26: their attitudes, their relationships, their rules, and their rituals.“Kimmel is our seasoned guide into a world that, unless we are guys, we barely know exists. As he walks with us through dark territories, he points out the significant and reflects on its meaning.”—Mary Pipher, Ph.D., author of Reviving OpheliaThe passage from adolescence to adulthood was once clear.

Guys Like Me
by Dominique Fabre&“Fabre speaks to us of luck and misfortune, of the accidents that make a man or defeat him . . . [He] is the discreet megaphone of the man in the crowd&” (Elle). Lifelong Parisian Dominique Fabre—author of The Waitress Was New—exposes the shadowy, anonymous lives of many who inhabit the French capital. In this quiet, subdued tale, a middle-aged office worker, divorced and alienated from his only son, meets up with two childhood friends who are similarly adrift, without passions or prospects. He&’s looking for a second act to his mournful life, seeking the harbor of love and a true connection with his son. Set in palpably real Paris streets that feel miles away from the City of Light, Guys Like Me is a stirring novel of regret and absence, yet not without a glimmer of hope. &“Fabre&’s unexpectedly touching novel has a laugh of its own behind its low-key, smoothly translated narrative voice . . . The city it evokes isn&’t the Paris of tourists but of local people.&” —The New York Times &“Fabre is a genius of these nuanced, interior moments . . . The story Fabre tells is that of every one of us: looking for meaning in the mundane, moving through our lives, our interactions, as if through the fabric of a dream.&” —Los Angeles Times &“A short, arresting tale that . . . not only offers keen insights into the mind of its middle-aged protagonist, but also provides the reader with a unique tour of what everyday life in the low-key suburbs of Paris must truly be like.&” —Typographical Era
Guía (inútil) para madres primerizas 2: La lucha continúa
by Ingrid Beck Paula RodríguezUn antimanual para madres primerizas. Con el humor inteligente e incisivo de Ingrid Beck y Paula Rodríguez. Si las decisiones durante el primer año de vida de tu bebé te parecían grandes, entonces las que se avecinan son enormes. Hasta hace poco te ponías loca si tu bomboncito pasaba más de un día sin hacer caca y ahora rogás que pase un rato sin evacuar su vientrecito en cualquier lado que no sea el inodoro. Antes temías que se ahogara en su vómito y hoy te aterroriza que se desnuque en la escalera. Ayer nomás te preocupaba que la chica que lo cuida ande con piercings en la cara y hoy se lo tenés que dejar a un grupo de ¡maestras jardineras! que te dicen "mami" y te obligan a participar de los actos escolares (y vos te preguntás: ¿acaso no les pago para que ellas se ocupen de hacer las escarapelas?). Ahora te llegó el momento de entregarle tu niño/a a la gente. Va a tener que hacer algún deporte, comerá comida chatarra y seguramente conocerá gente con la que no coincidís para nada... Y, encima, todos te aconsejarán: "A este/a nene/a le hace falta un hermanito". Con su humor inteligente e incisivo, Ingrid Beck y Paula Rodríguez redoblan la apuesta en este segundo antimanual para madres primerizas.
Guía (inútil) para madres primerizas: Edición ampliada y actualizada (más inútil que nunca)
by Ingrid Beck Paula RodríguezReedición 10º aniversario del best seller argentino más exitoso sobre maternidad: el anti-manual para madres primerizas para sobrevivir al primer año de vida del bebé. Este libro fue el primero en alertar que en la maternidad no todo es color rosa. Tiró por la borda la versión edulcorada que muestra a la mujer en estado de plenitud absoluta. Acá hay dos mujeres reales, profesionales, con una panza que no bajó al mes de parir, como se ve en las revistas; que no duermen, que se constipan, que no tienen tiempo para bañarse, que se convierten en vacas lecheras, que comen sobras, con bebés que las vomitan, con pediatras que no las atienden, con miedos. Pero también madres que ¡volverían a hacerlo! A una década de su primera edición, la Guía (inútil) para madres primerizas sigue siendo un regalo obligado para sobrellevar con humor el primer año de vida de la "pequeña novedad". Se recomienda boca a boca y es, sin duda, uno de los libros más inteligentes que se han escrito sobre ser madre en la actualidad. Su objetivo: desnudar hasta el hueso el discurso dominante de un sistema para el que ni la niñez ni la maternidad están entre las prioridades de las políticas públicas. Hoy, Ingrid Beck y Paula Rodríguez se encuentran menos solas en esta pelea. Los diversos tipos de maternidades y paternidades, junto con la arrolladora fuerza del feminismo, colaboran con la idea de que en esta cuestión no existen verdades religiosas. Esta celebrada y especial edición aniversario es para seguir riéndonos, y también para que los hijos de las autoras, que ahora leen, sepan que fue escrito en su estricta defensa.
