When you're 12 years old and 6 foot tall, you'd better be prepared for a hilarious ride through that notoriously tricky first year of high school.

She's practically, almost, nearly, entirely famous! The only problem is no one else saw the parrot ... And no one saw Alma see the parrot ... And no one has seen the parrot since.

Student Success
Student Success helps students develop positive behaviors that will lead to success in college and beyond. The book provides a practical framework, how-to exercises, a behavioral observation measurement system, behavioral profiles, self-tests, and a behavioral change methodology for individuals, families, and schools seeking to establish, assess, and improve behavioral performance. It introduces students to the 5C Elements of Behavior: Communication, which conveys appropriateness; Choice, which conveys judgment; Caring, which conveys concern for others; Commitment, which conveys duty; and Coping, which conveys fortitude. These five elements are the core to understanding how students can monitor, measure, and modify their behavior to reach their academic—and ultimately life—goals. Down-to-earth and practical, the book emphasizes real-life situations that all students face, offering them the opportunity to weigh the best solutions for any problem they encounter.

Out of Bounds (The Too-Tall Tales of Alma T. Best, #1)
When you're 12 years old and 6 foot tall, people ask the most annoying questions. The #1 Most Annoying Question according to Alma T. Best is, 'Do you play basketball?' Uh, no. She hates basketball. Then Alma wins a scholarship to attend Holy Grace, a fancy, basketball-obsessed girls school, and she worries about fitting in.

The Helpline

Germaine Johnson likes Sudoku, biscuits and maths. She is great with numbers and not so great with people. But after an incident at work leaves her jobless, she's forced to accept a position she's entirely wrong for: answering the phones of the Senior Citizen's Helpline. However, it turns out that the role involves a more interesting secret project: to shut down the local community centre and stop the elderly 'troublemakers' in their tracks. Germaine initially believes she is the no-nonsense woman for the job - until she gets to know the very people she's trying to evict. As the rebelling senior citiziens begin to open Germaine's eyes to a life outside boxes and numbers, she realises that she may be the only one capable of pulling their feuding community together . . . Witty, big-hearted and hugely enjoyable, The Helpline is what you might get if you crossed The Rosie Project with Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine.

The Briar and the Rose
Loosely based on "The Ballad of Barbara Allen" and the Irish folktale of the same title, "The Briar and the Rose" is a historical, paranormal romance of love lost, memories forgotten and two lives redeemed from guilt. Devan, Marquess of Castlereagh, has just returned to Dahlingham, his Ireland estate, to mourn Lady Katherine, who died in a great fire the night of the ball at Dakshire -- the very night they were to run away to Gretna Green and elope. Enter Raven, found near death in his gardens with no memory of her past. When Devan first sees her, his heart nearly stops -- she is the spitting image of his lost Katherine, but her Irish brogue proves beyond doubt that she is not. From historical Ireland to the beau monde and the elegant ballrooms of Regency London, together, Devan and Raven discover the truth of her past, and a passionate love so strong it cannot be denied. Laura Mills-Alcott currently resides in Northeast Ohio with her three beautiful children, two dogs and too many cats.
All About Yves
A timely and thought-provoking memoir about the trans experience. 'Rees provides us with their deep insights into contemporary trans and gender diverse history as it's being made . . . All About Yves is the book I wish I'd been able to give my mother when I was transitioning.' Sam Elkin, Transgender Victoria Board Member Was I always trans, part boy beneath my skin, or was it that I landed in a place where 'girl' was a container so small it could break your bones?

What happens when, aged 30, you understand you're transgender?...
