You say it's up to me to do the talking. You lean forward and your black leather chair groans, like a living thing. Like the cow it was before somebody killed it and turned it into a chair in a shrink's office in a loony bin! Fifteen-year old Callie is so withdrawn that she's not speaking to anyone -- including her therapist at Sea Pines, known to its guests as 'Sick Minds' -- the residential treatment facility where her parents and doctor send her after discovering that she cuts herself. Her story unfolds primarily through dramatic monologues, gradually revealing the family turmoil that led to her self-destructive behaviour.

Perfection Learning

Toby Malone looks up to his brother Jake. Everyone does. He is the cool one, the one who is good at baseball. Even Mr. Furry, the unfortunately named family cat, seems to prefer him to everyone else. Toby and Jake and their little brother have always had an easy, jostling friendship, in which it is them against the rest of the world. But ever since Toby`s father left, things have been off balance. Toby`s mother seems deflated and resigned. And his little brother is exhibiting odd signs of stress. Toby struggles to keep his family together even as things are falling apart. Despite his efforts, though, Jake is drifting farther and farther away, and Toby knows it is because he is becoming increasingly dependent on drugs. Toby tries to cover up for Jake, to spare his mother yet another disappointment. But his attempts to protect Jake and his mother backfire, only adding to the growing tension between the brothers+until Jake finally goes much too far. With great warmth and wry humor, Patricia McCormick draws a portrait of a typical family that is struggling to reconnect after a crisis.

MALALA YOUSAFZAI

Little, Brown Young Readers

Élevée par des parents éclairés dans un Pakistan en pleine transformation, Malala Yousafzai a toujours été encouragée à défendre ses opinions. Son père, en créant sa propre école et en s opposant ouvertement aux talibans, lui a montré la voie. Il a instillé en elle la soif d apprendre, le désir de résister au traitement des femmes dans son pays. Ce jour-là, le 9 octobre 2012, Malala rentre de l école lorsque, soudain, le bus scolaire s arrête. Deux hommes armés lui tirent dessus. Son crime ? Avoir osé prétendre aux mêmes droits que les garçons, et avoir dénoncé les talibans qui incendient les écoles et interdisent aux jeunes filles le droit à l éducation. Pendant dix jours, Malala reste entre la vie et la mort. Mais malgré l exil, les menaces, les mois de rééducation, Malala est, plus que jamais, résolue à lutter pour ses convictions. Voici son histoire. Et voici son combat.
