'Yeah... a snogging fest.'
'Sacré bleu!'
Jas looked like she was thinking which is a) unusual and b) scary.
I said, 'But then this weird thing happened. He had his hands on my waist, standing behind me.'
'Oo-er...'
'D-accord. Anyway, I turned round and he sort of leaped out of the way like two short leaping things.'
'Was he dancing?'
'No... I think he was frightened of being knocked out by my nunga-nungas...'
Then we both laughed like loons on loon tablets (i.e. A LOT).

Whenever her feelings get the best of her, Jaynell Lambert climbs into an old junker in Clifton Bailey’s Automobile Salvage and Parts and pretends to drive away. It’s the summer of 1968, and within a year the dirt road in front of her house will be paved, Grandpap will move in, and men will walk on the moon. It’s enough to make anyone wonder. But for now, Jaynell, her sister, Racine, and their parents live with dust and potholes, dreaming of their lives turning into something grand.
Grandpap’s moving in shouldn’t mean much more than Jaynell giving up her room and setting another place at the table. But when he goes out and buys a 1962 emerald green Cadillac convertible, nothing is the same again.
Kimberly Willis Holt has written an unforgettable story of dreams and legacies, capturing a time when all of America joined together to watch the first man walk in the moon. A time when a Cadillac and the legacy of an old man could transform a family and show them how to dance.
As a little girl, Teresa Carreño loved to let her hands dance across the beautiful keys of the piano. If she felt sad, music cheered her up, and when she was happy, the piano helped her share that joy. Soon she was writing her own songs and performing in grand cathedrals. Then a revolution in Venezuela forced her family to flee to the United States. Teresa felt lonely in this unfamiliar place, where few of the people she met spoke Spanish. Worst of all, there was fighting in her new home, too-the Civil War. Still, Teresa kept playing, and soon she grew famous as the talented Piano Girl who could play anything from a folk song to a sonata-so famous, in fact, that President Abraham Lincoln wanted her to play at the White House! Yet with the country torn apart by war, could Teresa's music bring comfort to those who needed it most?

From the reviewers: '...Vered’s mission to inform children and their parents about the dangers and consequences of finger sucking is well accomplished in this interactive story. This is both a fine story and a PLAN! Recommended...'
'...The story is interesting and fun to read, the message is significant and perhaps even lifesaving. Sucking the thumb can lead not only to crooked teeth but to unwanted future behavior, such as the need to put something in one’s mouth, perhaps cigarettes. In this age of coronavirus, it can lead to a serious illness. In the story, the young child fails to give up her habit of thumb sucking. But then her mother thinks of an idea that may work. And it does. It is an idea that other parents will want to adopt...'
In these days of the Coronavirus, where it is recommended not to touch your face, getting rid of a thumb-sucking habit is not only very important, it's a must!
Good luck!

Whether they’re on the baseball field or in Nate’s basement devouring the newest issue of their favorite comic book, Dan and Nate are always talking. Until they’re not.
After an accident at baseball practice, Nate’s fallen into a coma. And if Dan ever wants to talk to Nate again, he’s got to take a page out of his hero Captain Nexus’s book, and do whatever it takes to save the day.
But heroes have powers—and without Nate, all Dan has is a closet stuffed with comics and a best-friend-shaped hole in his heart. There’s no way a regular kid can save the day all on his own. Right?
