Not Exactly Love

NOT EXACTLY LOVE tells the funny and moving story of a precocious, word-happy girl named Leda Johnson who suffers from a secret and severe case of semi-requited love - meaning she has a friend who is a boy but not her boyfriend, but she wishes he was. With "Rolling and Rocking," St. Luke's first annual Valentine's Day roller skating party, rapidly approaching, she wonders what will come of her unspoken dream.\nThrough the diary Leda resolves to keep, we see the world from her delightfully unique perspective. Along the way to resolving the discrepancy between what she has and what she wishes she had, Leda befriends a mysterious gray cat, becomes a semi-expert on love songs from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, faces many ups and downs, and learns valuable lessons about what real love is.

The Carver and the Queen

In the age of Imperial Russia, deep in the Ural Mountains, two teenagers plot their escape from serfdom and dream of a destiny beyond their birth. Petr, a castoff orphan, longs to make a name for himself as a sculptor of malachite, the Ural's most treasured gem. His best friend Lena harbors an even more impossible goal: to escape an arranged marriage to the cruel village bailiff and become an artist in her own right. When their bid for freedom falls to pieces, Petr seeks help from the mythical Malachite Queen, only to find himself trapped in an underworld where godlike skill comes at the cost of his humanity. Now Lena must take on a kingdom of stone, and time is running out. She has only one night to find Petr and outwit the queen before the mountain becomes their tomb.

A Christmas Carol: Annotated for Teen and Middle Grade Readers (Owl's Nest Classics)

"Bah!" said Scrooge, "Humbug!" "Christmas a humbug, Uncle!" said Scrooge's nephew. "You don't mean that, I am sure?" &#65279;&#65279;----- On a cold, dark night in October 1843-during one of the long, solitary walks he liked to take-Charles Dickens came up with an idea that would change the world. As he looked around the city of London, he saw that many of the traditional customs of Christmas so popular in the past had fallen out of fashion. In some homes the holiday was not even celebrated at all. And so he came up with an idea for a story that would help put the Christmas spirit back in Christmas-not just in England, but all over the world, and not just for his time, for all time. For nearly two hundred years, A Christmas Carol has been one of the world's best-known and best-loved stories-one that readers return to again and again for its timeless message about love and redemption. The Owl's Nest Classics Edition brings Dickens's masterpiece to life with annotations and thoughts for reflection that will engage young readers' hearts and minds and will inspire them see their own lives in a new way.
