Home for the Holidays (Mother Daughter Book Club)

The girls of the Mother-Daughter book club are up to a variety of holiday-themed antics—and nothing is going quite as planned. Megan and Becca have boy trouble on their families’ joint Christmas cruise, while Cassidy and her family find a college-viewing trip to California has them second-guessing which state to call home. And poor Emma and Jess end up snowed in overnight in New Hampshire after an unexpected blizzard hits! Considering that the book club has just read Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, a creepy New England inn is not the ideal place to be stranded. Between fights, ghosts, and blizzards, everything seems to be going wrong. Will the girls be able to find their holiday spirit in time for Christmas?..

Out of My Mind

Melody has a photographic memory. She remembers everything that has ever happened to her in precise, exact detail—from the words to a song she once heard when she was little to what she ate for a typical mundane breakfast. She also knows thousands and thousands of facts. Her head is like a video camera that is always recording. Always—and there’s no delete button. She’s the smartest kid in her whole school—but, NO ONE knows because she has virtually no way of communicating. Melody has cerebral palsy. All most people see is a special needs kid--never suspecting that trapped inside this eleven-year old girl is more information and insight than they ever imagined. Being stuck inside her head is making Melody go out of her mind—that is until she discovers a computerized talking device that will allow her communicate for the first time ever. A dream come true! At last, she's able to talk, to be in a regular classroom, and have regular conversations! Melody even joins the Whiz Ki..
