Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie by David Lubar

Welcome to Scott Hudson's freshmen year of high school...

He isn't the best looking or most popular guy around, and he has no clue how to talk to Julia, the girl he was "friends" with in kindergarten, and who has morphed into a real looker over the summer. Besides that... he has other issues:

* Senior smack him on the head on the bus unless he sits behind Sheldon, who get hit instead

* None of his friends are in class with him, cause he is in the"smart classes"

* His gym teacher is demented

* His mom is pregnant! This will disrupt his being the youngest and most spoiled.

* His older brother has some issues

* And you won't believe what a guy (Scott) will do to try to get close to a girl (Julia)!

Ride along on the journey of Scott's freshman year as he tries to adapt to all that is going on, while documenting some advise for his unborn sibling in a journal so he won't forgot to tell him the important stuff about high school.

Door Mat by Kelly McWilliams

You probably know someone like Jamie. Or maybe you are someone like Jamie. She's pretty average and she tends to let people walk all over her. Sort of like a dooormat. Even her parents don't seem to notice her. But Jamie's life is about to change. Her best friend is pregnant and wants Jamie's help. But what can a 14 year old girl do to help?

Heartbeat by Sharon Creech

Heartbeat is the story of 12 year old Annie, who loves to run for the shear pleasure of running. It's when she feels the most free in year when everything seems to be shifting. Her mother is pregnant, her grandfather is aging, and her best friend, Max, is increasingly moody. Everything is changing, just like the apple that Annie has been assigned to draw one hundred times.

The story is written in free verse. Annie is attempting to understand not only herself, and her place in the family, but also to understand those around her. How do we become who we are? To what degree should we conform? How are we unique, and yet alike?
