When compared to her nearly perfect little sister, Phoebe Paz Petersen feels she doesn't measure up in her parents' eyes. Okalee is smart and beloved for her sunny disposition, which makes it hard for Phoebe to stand out in their small town in Montana. But if she can get picked for the coveted solo in the school choir, she'll stop being a middle-school nobody and finally get her chance to shine.
Despite her sister's annoying perfection, Phoebe actually loves spending time with Okalee. They have one very special, secret tradition: River Day-when they hold hands and make their way across the cold, rushing Grayling River, to celebrate the first hint of spring. This year's River Day crossing, however, goes horribly wrong, and Phoebe's world is suddenly turned upside down.
Heartbroken and facing life without Okalee, Phoebe is more determined than ever to sing the solo in the school concert as a way of speaking to her sister one last time. But Phoebe's so traumatized by what happened, she's lost her beautiful singing voice.
Kat Waters wants the choir solo for herself and is spreading a terrible rumor about what really happened to Okalee on River Day. If Phoebe tells the truth, she believes her family will never forgive her and she may never get to sing her goodbye to Okalee. Even worse, somebody is leaving Phoebe anonymous notes telling her they saw what really happened at the river.
Missing Okalee is an empathy-building novel about the unbreakable bond between sisters and finding the courage to do what's right amid heartbreak and tragedy.

¡Primera caída!
'Hey, deberías ver cómo quedó mi rival', dice el Conde de Terciopelo, quien se está tomando más en serio que nunca las luchas y se va de gira por todo el país. Los fans le aplauden a rabiar, pero él, que es un sentimental empedernido, extraña a su familia y a sus amigos.
Además, Vladimir -su entrenador, que está en quinto de primaria- se enamora de una niña que llega a su edificio, y tendrá que probar suerte con los consejos del Terciopelo y su mamá para saber cómo tratar a las mujeres. Mientras tanto, Karla hace un megacoraje cuando se entera de quién le gusta a Vladimir y decide vengarse, ñaca ñaca.
¿Es difícil ser superheroína? No mucho. Azul y Ali sólo tienen que rescatar al es-laim mágico (antes deben entender quién es), viajar a la Isla de los Unicornios, descubrir y dominar todos sus poderes (incluido el hechizo de invisibilidad), y sobre todo, hacerle frente a la chica más mala de la escuela. Ah, y todo esto lo tienen que lograr antes del día de su cumpleaños. Azul y Ali son más que amigas, son Best Friends Forever, y como tal lo comparten todo, hasta las celebraciones de cumpleaños. Aunque este año tal vez sus planes no salgan como quisieran, entre otras cosas, porque la mamá de Ali insiste en verlas como princesas, y no entiende que ellas son algo mucho mejor: son superheroínas (bueno, apenas están aprendiendo a serlo).

¡Tercera caída!
El conde de terciopelo había llegado casi casi a la cima de su carrera tras ganar el campeonato de peso wélter, pero el canijo Golden Fire lo retó a un combate máscara contra máscara en el clásico plan de '¿Qué, eres gallina?'. El Conde cayó en la trampa y ¡aceptó el desafío!
No será fácil pues, en una jugada maestra, GOLDEN FIRE logró meterse prácticamente hasta la cocina de la casa del Conde, y ahora el Aterciopelado tendrá que enfrentar esos 'pequeños' asuntos de familia. Aparte, Vladimir sigue en la baba y no se atreve a invitarle un helado a su vecina Leonor. La temible Karla, fúrica por no tener la atención del niño que le gusta, está decidida a sacar a esa escuincla mensa de la jugada.
Nada como un poco de poesía y música (desafinada) para relajar el alma sensible y mantener la concentración en este alocado mundo del pancracio, digo, las luchas.

From the creator of 13 Reasons Why, What If It's Us is soon to be a feature film!
