Paperback. Zustand: Good. A few months into the school year, Annabelle Louis is starting to find her place at McManus Middle School. But Annabelle's therapist, Dr. Varma, still thinks there's room for improvement in Annabelle's social life, especially since Mom will be leaving soon for an overseas assignment. Knowing there's a school dance coming up, Dr. Varma challenges Annabelle to learn how to dance. What keeps Annabelle interested in the challenge are the hilarious videos she posts on her vlog, Daphne Doesn't, making fun of the various styles of dance she's learning. The videos are a hit, and as Daphne Doesn't goes viral around McManus Middle School and elsewhere, Annabelle's alter ego won't stay secret for long.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A ripped-from-the-headlines novel of ambition, music, and innocence lost, perfect for fans of Elizabeth Acevedo and Jason Reynolds! Be bold. Get seen. Be Heard. For seventeen-year-old Denver, music is everything. Writing, performing, and her ultimate goal: escaping her very small, very white hometown. So Denver is more than ready on the day she and her best friends Dali and Shak sing their way into the orbit of the biggest R&B star in the world, Sean "Mercury" Ellis. Merc gives them everything: parties, perks, wild nights -- plus hours and hours in the recording studio. Even the painful sacrifices and the lies the girls have to tell are all worth it. Until they're not. Denver begins to realize that she's trapped in Merc's world, struggling to hold on to her own voice. As the dream turns into a nightmare, she must make a choice: lose her big break, or get broken. Inspired by true events, Muted is a fearless exploration of the dark side of the music industry, the business of exploitation, how a girl's dreams can be used against her -- and what it takes to fight back.…

But when a new teacher at school coordinates a beauty pageant and convinces Vanessa to enter, Vanessa's view of her own world begins to change.
