Amanda Moss is a young hairstylist with ambitions to become a musician and play in a band. She was adopted at age three after her parents were killed in a car crash. At least that's what her adoptive mother Shelley has always told her. Shelley is also a hairdresser. But beyond that, mother and daughter don't see eye to eye on much. Then one day Amanda's life changes dramatically when a stranger shows up and tells her a very different story about her parents. Her real mother has just died of cancer while serving a life sentence for the murder of Amanda's father. Suddenly Amanda feels her whole life has been a lie. Was her mother really guilty? When she also discovers that her father was in a successful rock-and-roll band when he was killed, she goes looking for former band members to try to find out what really happened so many years before. In the process she learns some unpleasant truths about her family. She also learns that you can love and hate someone at the same time.

See below for English description. Lorsque les parents de Chloé montrent des photos à leurs invités pendant une réunion de famille, la fillette est contrariée. Alors que tout le monde souligne la similitude de leurs visages, Chloé ne peut s'empêcher de constater que son visage ne ressemble en rien à ceux de sa famille. Mais son père et sa mère lui rappellent qu'être adoptée ne veut pas dire qu'elle ne fait pas partie de la famille. Ce qui compte, c'est que sa famille l'aime et prenne soin d'elle. Cette histoire réconfortante dépeint les beautés de l'adoption et explore le thème de l'acceptation. When Chloé's relatives bring out the family photo albums at a reunion, she starts to feel upset. While everyone remarks on the similar features they have, she can only focus on how she doesn't share any. But Mommy and Daddy come to the rescue, reminding her that being adopted doesn't mean she doesn't belong. What matters most is that her family loves and cares about her! This heartwarming story illustrates the beauty of adoption and explores themes of self-acceptance and belongingness. Original title: A Helping Hand: Chloe's Special Family: A Story About Adoption

In this romantic, enemies-to-lovers fantasy mystery, cursebreaker Marlow Briggs reluctantly pretends to be in love with a powerful noble to gain entry into an illustrious—and deadly—society that holds clues to her mother's disappearance. This edge-of-your-seat novel is perfect for fans of Veronica Mars, These Violent Delights, and Chain of Iron. “Gasp-inducing, heart-rending, and beautifully crafted, Garden of the Cursed is nothing short of genius.” —Jennifer Lynn Barnes, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Inheritance Games series "A delicious read full of swoony romance, dangerous gangsters, wondrous magic, and an elaborate mystery that will keep the pages flying." —Tricia Levenseller, New York Times–bestselling author of Blade of Secrets Since fleeing the gilded halls of Evergarden for the muck-filled canals of the Marshes, Marlow Briggs has made a name for herself as the best cursebreaker in Caraza City. But no matter how many cases she solves, she is still haunted by the mystery of her mother’s disappearance. When Adrius Falcrest, Marlow's old friend and scion of one of Caraza's most affluent spell-making families, asks her to help break a life-threatening curse, Marlow wants nothing to do with the boy who spurned her a year ago. But a new lead in her mother’s case makes Marlow realize that the only way to get the answers she desperately seeks is to help Adrius and return to Evergarden society—even if it means suffering through a fake love affair with him to avoid drawing suspicion from the conniving Five Families. As the investigation draws Marlow into a web of deadly secrets and powerful enemies, a shocking truth emerges: Adrius’s curse and her mother’s disappearance may just be clues to an even larger mystery, one that could unravel the very foundations of Caraza and magic itself.

Cynthia Hand is the master of pulling at your heartstrings. The How & the Why tells both sides of an adoption story with love, compassion, and care. --Brigid Kemmerer, New York Times bestselling author of Letters to the Lost A poignant exploration of family and the ties that bind, from New York Times bestselling author Cynthia Hand. Cassandra McMurtrey has the best parents a girl could ask for; they've given Cass a life she wouldn't trade for the world. She has everything she needs--but she has questions, too. Like, to know who she is. Where she came from. Questions her adoptive parents can't answer, no matter how much they love her. But eighteen years ago, someone wrote Cass a series of letters. And they may just hold the answers Cass has been searching for. Alternating between Cass's search for answers and letters from the pregnant teen who placed her for adoption, this emotionally resonant narrative is the perfect read for fans of Nina LaCour and Jandy Nelson.--Booklist (starred review)

"Est-ce que je bougeais beaucoup, quand j'étais dans ton ventre? Tu n'étais pas dans mon ventre, mais tu bougeais beaucoup dans ma tête. » C'est en fouillant la littérature jeunesse pour parler à sa fille de son adoption que Catherine a eu l'idée de ce texte : elle y trouvait beaucoup de koalas chez les ours polaires ou vilains petits canards chez les cygnes. Catherine n'est pas un cygne et sa fille n'est pas un vilain petit canard. Elles sont des arbres à musique qui n'ont pas les mêmes racines, mais dont les feuilles ont appris à jouer les mêmes symphonies. Un texte en dentelle, d'une vérité émouvante illustré tout en nuance, en couleur et en texture"

From the celebrated author of Sarah, Plain and Tall, Patricia MacLachlan, comes another humorous and poignant early middle grade novel. My Life Begins! explores how life begins for Jacob when his triplet sisters are born, and how siblings get to know each other as time, and love, evolve. Jacob is nine years old when his life changes. He wants a litter of puppies. But instead his parents have a different surprise. Jacob will be an older brother soon. And there won't be only one new baby. There will be three! When the triplets are born, Jacob thinks puppies are cuter. The babies look identical to him and he gives them a name: "the Trips." For a school science project, Jacob decides to study the Trips. It feels like magic as they begin to smile, talk, and grow. Slowly, he gets to know each of them. They call his mother "Mama" and his father "Da." But what will they call him? One day, one of the Trips calls him "Jay." As each of the triplets become unique and more special with each day, Jacob starts to wonder if "the Trips" is still a good name for them. They aren't puppies, or a bunch of bananas, and they aren't just "the Trips" anymore. What should he call them that will show what they mean to him? Can he figure out their "forever name?" And will he ever get a puppy?
