"Millicent Chalmers isn’t here to make friends.
She’s here to win, and she’s on track to set a record if—no, when—she wins the state debate tournament for the fourth year in a row. Calm, cool, and always in control, Millie doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her, least of all the sexist bullies
bent on destroying her reputation.
Taggart Strong couldn’t care less about winning debate, much to the consternation of his teammates, school, and parents. In fact, he might even enjoy losing, as long as the side he believes in wins.
But when a tournament takes a scary turn, Millie and Tag find themselves unexpectedly working together. Maybe Millie can teach Tag a thing or two about using his head, and Tag can teach Millie a little bit about following her heart.
In this witty, smart, and feminist romantic comedy, author Jen Doll explores what it means to set boundaries while you’re breaking down barriers."
"The truth will set you free. But first you have to find it.
What do Nell, who just moved to a small town in Alabama from the Chicago suburbs; Doris, a liberal among conservative thinkers; and Grant, a football star who’s plummeted from grace, all have in common? A summer job working at Unclaimed Baggage, a store where lost luggage goes to find a home.
In this fish-out-of-water novel by noted journalist Jen Doll, three teens realize that people aren’t always what they seem, secrets hide in plain sight, and everybody has a little extra baggage weighing them down. But true friendship—and love—will help you find your place."
