Balancing Act
by Dominique Moceanu Alicia ThompsonTwelve-year-old Noelle Onesti has gymnastics in her blood. Not only does she have natural ability, talent and drive, but back in Romania, her mother was also an Elite gymnast. So if there's one girl destined to come home with a gold medal at the Junior National Championships, it's Noelle. But Noelle’s a worrier, and she knows it won’t be easy for her family to put up the money to send her to the competition. She tries to focus on her training, but when a boy asks her to the school dance, her mind is a whirlwind of dresses, crushes, and family responsibilities. Noelle knows that if she wants to achieve her Olympic dreams, she can’t let anything get in the way. Her teammates—graceful Christina, quiet Jessie, and lively Britt—can’t wait for the trip to Junior Nationals in Philadelphia, and Noelle doesn’t want to let them down.
Balancing Act
by Wendy GrahamFourteen-year-old Josie is talkative, impulsive and awkward. She desperately wants to fit in at school, but the kids think it?s weird that she?s always counting things. And constantly wiping things clean. And avoiding lifts and packed trains. During visits to the city to see her therapist, Josie becomes besotted with a city busker. She fantasizes about him and travels into town to watch his performances at every opportunity. One day Josie?s life begins to overlap with that of Macka, another school outcast. Macka is quiet, sharp-eyed and takes a while to trust people. A bit like the wedge-tail eagles and other birds of prey he trains after school at the Wildlife Haven. While Josie is besotted with the busker, Macka finds himself besotted with Josie. The two soon realise their lives are following similar paths, which causes a series of misunderstandings and missed opportunities, but also helps each develop a sense of self-worth. Written in a lively and humorous style whilst also invoking compassion and empathy for young people who don't fit in, BALANCING ACT by Wendy Graham is a well-rounded and powerful story of finding and accepting yourself.

by Claudia GrayEl amor puede salvarte la vida, incluso cuando estás muerto... Quinta entrega de la serie paranormal romántica «Medianoche». A pesar de su flirteo con Bianca en la Academia Medianoche, Balthazar lleva siglos siguiendo una norma: no enamorarse. Sabe bien que su corazón de vampiro no puede latir, pero sí romperse de dolor con cada amor perdido. Así que se ha encerrado en un mundo oscuro y solitario, sin felicidad ni sufrimiento. Sin embargo, cuando el viejo vampiro que acabó con su vida humana reaparezca para amenazar la de Skye, una buena amiga de Lucas, Balthazar deberá tomar partido para vengarse... y protegerla. «Salió del baño y Balthazar la miró brevemente. O esa era su intención, porque fue incapaz de despegar los ojos de ella. Llevaba una camiseta negra y mallas, pero ambas prendas se ceñían a su cuerpo menudo, sus pechos, su cintura, sus caderas, sus muslos... "Con humanas, no", se recordó mientras pensaba en su primer amor. Pero aquella vieja regla le pareció muy lejana. Skye rehuyó su mirada, como si le hubiera leído el pensamiento. Cuando volvió a mirarlo a los ojos, él sintió el impacto: un calor que le inundó las venas, tan real como la sangre. -Pues, si de verdad vas a quedarte hasta mañana... -Es lo mejor -dijo Balthazar, aunque sus probabilidades de poder pegar ojo acababan de disminuir de una forma espectacular. Esa noche no iba a dormir bien. -El banco que hay debajo de la ventana puede servirte. Pero eres muy alto; a lo mejor no estás cómodo...»
