Young Adult

Most young people began dating with little or no information to guide them in choosing whom to date and whom not to date. The criteria for choosing the right person to date seems primarily to be "Is she pretty? Is he handsome? Do you like him or her?" Because people generally end up marrying someone they date, young people need to be armed with some knowledge as they start the dating process. The purpose of this book is to give teens some things to think about as they began to date. Visit the author at MJRodriguezsite.wordpress.com.

And as time later tells, everyone understands that situations in life is a matter of time and tide...

Her life revolves around her girlfriends, managing her blood sugar, and Jonah, who has been the on-again-off-again object of her affection for as long as Andy can remember. Jonah is funny and sweet, with a healthy dose of anxiety. He also has a secret. When he can no longer pretend his feelings for Andy are just friendly, he has to decide if telling her the truth is worth the risk of losing her forever. Told from the perspective of both characters, their story takes place over the course of one week. It took some unplanned proximity and perfect timing for Andy and Jonah to realize neither of them want to be friends anymore. Interested in more from this author? Check out www.daebackuswrites.com

Dès notre première rencontre, il a changé ma vie. Il a brisé ma carapace, il a découvert la fille que j'étais. Avant de le rencontrer, je ne m'intéressais absolument pas à ce genre de garçon. Je n'aimais pas les "Bad Boys" comme lui. Et puis, ma vie sentimentale était déjà assez compliquée avant qu'il ne s'immisce dans mon coeur. Ce garçon n'arrête pas de me faire tourner en rond mais bien-sûr, trop aveugle pour m'en apercevoir, je suis tombée dans ses bras. Je me dis qu'à tout moment je peux retourner dans mon ancien pays et tourner la page, l'oublier. Mais ça m'est impossible. Il a pris une trop grande place dans mon coeur pour que je puisse l'oublier aussi facilement...

ITA: GUERRIERI NEL SILENZIO è una raccolta di racconti brevi nata con l'obiettivo di fornire gli strumenti per capire che non c'è nulla di più normale della diversità.Questo libro contiene anche la traduzione in inglese a cura di Edoardo Magnotta.ENG: WARRIORS IN THE SILENCE is a collection of short stories, born with the goal of providing the tools to understand that nothing is more normal than diversity.The book contains also the english translation edited by Edoardo Magnotta.Perché leggere GUERRIERI NEL SILENZIO può aiutare?Può aiutarti se hai paura di affrontare il tuo coming out. Oppure se sei un genitore che non riesce ad accettare il coming out del proprio figlio.Può aiutarti se hai un figlio con DSA e temi che possa sentirsi diverso dagli altri. O, viceversa, se tu stesso hai un DSA e i tuoi genitori sono restii ad accettarlo.Può aiutarti se hai spesso a che fare con razzismo e/o xenofobia.Può aiutarti se i tuoi sentimenti vengono solitamente sminuiti o negati da chi ti circonda.Non è semplice parlare di diversità con chi fatica a comprenderla.Ancor meno facile è sentirsi accettati quando dall'altra parte c'è un muro fatto di stereotipi e pregiudizi.Ma in fin dei conti cos'è il pregiudizio? Un giudizio già concepito da qualcun altro, pronto e confezionato per chi non ha gli strumenti adatti alla costruzione di un proprio pensiero.In questi casi è quindi inutile cercare di spiegarsi sempre negli stessi termini. È necessario cambiare linguaggio, un po' come si fa con i bambini.Lo scopo di GUERRIERI NEL SILENZIO è dimostrare che la "diversità" è soltanto un nostro costrutto mentale.I quattro racconti brevi contenuti nel libro (Hinata, Yoko, Sachi e Hisota) affrontano ciascuno una tematica carica di pregiudizi e la semplificano attraverso delle metafore, forse più accessibili all'immaginario collettivo. Questi racconti sono adatti anche alla lettura nelle scuole medie, perché nati con lo scopo di prevenire il bullismo.Il bullismo non è una causa, è una conseguenza. Una conseguenza dei nostri stessi pregiudizi, che inevitabilmente finiamo per trasmettere alle menti più giovani.

An hour or two of reading could save you from a lifetime of suffering Believe me, you don't want this to happen to you. You might not be using a dating app, as I was, but any form of social media is fair game. This includes Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn - and the like. I'll share with you how I picked up, in real-time, how an unsuspecting professor on LinkedIn found himself at grave risk of being snared by the same gang that caught me. I made all of the mistakes, and broke new ground, so that you don't have to. Unexpectedly, once I was finally over the worst of it - and thanks to my friend Santie's insistence that I not waste a good crisis - I was able to use this experience as the unlikely catalyst for my own life-makeover, and for inspiring others to overhaul their lives too, whether or not they'd been snagged by an online terror gang. I'm as savvy as anyone I know, and yet, within moments, I'd found myself in a lot of trouble. Not only had I put my own life on the line, but the lives of friends and family too. It was not a good situation to be in. I'd had no idea that my own ignorance - and, yes, sheer stupidity - would turn my life on its proverbial head within just a few short seconds. Looking back, I admit to having felt that something was amiss, but it had been exciting enough to ignore the warning signs. Once you've launched something into cyberspace, it's there forever. You can't take it back. I knew this, but I was having fun. Life was good. Within moments, my life had been reduced to a horror movie. It took me a while to work out exactly what I was looking at; I recognised my name, my work website and my friends and family, but everything else was the stuff of nightmares - and it simply didn't add up. How did that information and those images find their way into this WhatsApp conversation? Thereafter it didn't take long to work out that I'd been snagged by an online terror gang. I'd never even heard of the term SEXTORTION, but I very quickly became an expert on the topic. I didn't like what my research unearthed. It turns out that there are thousands of innocent people, all over the world, who are being reeled in by these terrible people every single day. Like me, they're very quickly terrorised into handing over tons of money. But that only invigorates these excuses for human beings into ratcheting up their ghastly threats, in an effort to extort more money. The worst part of all, is the fallout. The experience leaves people broken and traumatised. Teens and those who are more vulnerable, are even at risk of committing suicide. It's an awful scenario, and it's on the up. I say it again, that an hour or two of reading could save you from a lifetime of suffering...

I started my Friday by accidentally tripping the girl with snakes for hair. As the lone human attending Fairfield High, Anastasia Graves is used to not fitting in. But things get even more awkward when she's assigned to a senior project with a bunch of Frightless, misfit monsters whose powers don't quite work right-among them a siren with no voice, a beautiful gorgon with a powerless gaze, and a seer whose prophecies are sketchy at best. They soon realize they were specially chosen to travel to the human world, but excitement soon turns to confusion and even terror as they discover a plot to take over the town of Beckton, which seems to be spearheaded by someone with connections to Fairfield High-someone who isn't human. Before they know it, Anastasia and her outcast friends find themselves less concerned about passing grades and more with uncovering the mystery they've unwittingly stepped into... and with making it back to school alive.

Awakening Worlds is an eco-fantasy about the perils of human supremacy and the destiny of planet Earth.Venus (a.k.a. Roselyn), sister of the unborn Earth, is sent to the human world by her mother, the Universe, to protect a child in possession of the new spirit of Earth. If all goes to plan, she will save her sister. But she must save her before humankind destroys her!When Roselyn, daughter of the universe, learns humanity's growing disregard for Earth's health is putting her mother's life in danger, she volunteers to nurture a new spirit in preparation for the birth.Roselyn arrives in the body of a magical bird, fresh from the world of ancient sunlight in 1784, and she soon discerns that human life is dispensable if she is to succeed in fulfilling the prophecy of the next world."This fantasy novel simply blew me away! Well-written, with lyrical prose reminiscent of Dylan Thomas, it tells the story of a race to save the Earth from dying. The green message is not in the least preachy, though: it's wrapped up in a fable where the Universe sends the Earth's spiritual sister, Roselyn, to guide the one woman who can save the planet. As well as the sheer delight of the description of Roselyn's journey, there are humorous moments as Roselyn has to disguise herself as a man to achieve her aims. Tense, fantastical and spiritual, the story feels like a big warm hug. And we'd all like one of those, right?""Hugely imaginative and thought-provoking debut novel from J.C. Thomas. Thomas navigates the landscape of this high concept novel with deftness and ease, which is a triumph for a book that explores the perils of climate change, and the importance of respecting our place in the universe by keeping rhythm with Earth, not fighting against her music.""A very clever and exquisitely written story, "Awakening Worlds" is a modern climate change fairytale. Roselyn, the spirit of Venus, is tasked with saving the Earth from the ravages of Man. As oil slicks pollute the oceans and cities gobble up green fields, Roselyn is in a race against time to find the Earth's spirit and help the planet survive. If Roselyn fails, the Earth and all humans will die."
