Jawbreaker

"A USA Today bestseller perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier's Smile, a refreshingly honest middle-grade debut novel about toxic sibling rivalry, socioeconomic disparity, and dental drama. Max Plink’s life is complicated. Her parents aren’t getting along. The school bullies are relentless―and her own sister is the cruelest of them. Worst of all, her mouth is a mess. With a mismatched puzzle of a jaw, Max has a Class II malocclusion, otherwise known as a severe overbite. She already has braces, which means she lives on Advil and soft foods after each orthodontist appointment. But now Max has to wear painful (and totally awkward) orthodontic headgear nicknamed “the jawbreaker.” Could things get any worse? Yes. The journalism competition Max wants to enter has a video component. But being on camera means showing her face not just to her junior high classmates, but possibly the whole city. Going viral is the last thing Max needs, but winning this competition is what she wants most. Turns out, following her dreams is complicated, too. Inspired by Christina Wyman’s own experience with a Class II malocclusion, Jawbreaker is a humorous, heartfelt, and refreshingly relatable story."

Choose You, but You Choose: A Journey to Self-Love

"Have you ever wondered what it would be like to truly love yourself? To feel worthy, confident, and enough in your own skin? I asked myself that same question during a three-year relationship. One day, I realized I didn’t love myself—I didn’t feel good enough to be someone’s wife, or even worthy of being a girlfriend. That’s when I made a life-changing decision: I chose to end the relationship and begin a journey to learn how to love myself. Choose You, But You Choose is a self-love book for men and women, offering an honest and heartfelt look at breaking free from the need for external validation. We often stay in relationships or situations out of fear or comfort, but true self-love means making difficult, sometimes uncomfortable choices. Whether it’s walking away from a relationship, confronting a vice, or facing a hard truth, the choice to love yourself is always yours. This self-love workbook will guide you through that process. If you’ve ever struggled with feelings of unworthiness or wondered how to love yourself, this book offers practical tools and encouragement to help you on your journey. You’ll discover how to choose self-love over unhealthy relationships, bad habits, or external distractions, and realize that you are worthy of love, trust, and betting on yourself. Sometimes, the biggest risk you’ll ever take is on yourself—and that’s one worth taking. Are you ready to choose you?"
