How hard can it be to become the Perfect Darcy? All she has to do is:- Rebuild her reputation with the marching band (even if it kills her)- Forget about Wickham and his lies (no matter how tempting they still are), and- Distract Fitz Darcy — helicopter-sibling extraordinaire — by getting him to fall in love with his classmate, Lizzie Bennet (this one might be difficult…)Sure, it's a complicated plan, but so is being a Darcy.

Accused!: The Trials of the Scottsboro Boys: Lies, Prejudice, and the Fourteenth Amendment
by Larry Dane BrimnerAn ALSC Notable Children's Book * A Kirkus Reviews Best Book * A Notable Social Studies Trade Book for Young PeopleThis chilling and harrowing account tells the story of the Scottsboro Boys, nine African-American teenagers who, when riding the rails during the Great Depression, found their lives destroyed after two white women falsely accused them of rape. Award-winning author Larry Dane Brimner explains how it took more than eighty years for their wrongful convictions to be overturned.In 1931, nine teenagers were arrested as they traveled on a train through Scottsboro, Alabama. The youngest was thirteen, and all had been hoping to find something better at the end of their journey. But they never arrived. Instead, two white women falsely accused them of rape. The effects were catastrophic for the young men, who came to be known as the Scottsboro Boys. Being accused of raping a white woman in the Jim Crow south almost certainly meant death, either by a lynch mob or the electric chair. The Scottsboro boys found themselves facing one prejudiced trial after another, in one of the worst miscarriages of justice in U.S. history. They also faced a racist legal system, all-white juries, and the death penalty. Noted Sibert Medalist Larry Dane Brimner uncovers how the Scottsboro Boys spent years in Alabama's prison system, enduring inhumane conditions and torture. The extensive back matter includes an author's note, bibliography, index, and further resources and source notes.

Acéptate: Mi libro contra el acoso
by Inma FrancoEres precios@ tal y como eres, no necesitas cambiar tu forma de ser para contentar a nadie.¡Acéptate! Hola, soy Inma Franco. Cuando era una niña me diagnosticaron el síndrome de Saethre-Chotzen, pasé varias veces por el quirófano y me quedaron secuelas. Para algunos mi rostro era «diferente», y por ello sufrí acoso escolar. Muchas personas se rieron de mí, me hicieron creer que era un estorbo y, en los peores momentos, un monstruo. Durante un tiempo me lo repitieron tanto que creí que era verdad y que el problema era yo. Cuando ya no pude más, empecé a luchar contra los prejuicios, aprendí a valorarme y a creer que los sueños, con esfuerzo, se pueden hacer realidad. Esta es una historia de amor verdadero, del más puro que puede existir: el de aceptarse y quererse a uno mismo tal y como es. Sé que es posible y que tú también puedes hacerlo, por eso te comparto mi historia.
