Summary

John Green's The Fault in Our Stars meets Rainbow Rowell's Eleanor & Park in this darkly funny novel from the critically acclaimed author of The Beginning of Everything. 
Up until his diagnosis, Lane lived a fairly predictable life. But when he finds himself at a tuberculosis sanatorium called Latham House, he discovers an insular world with paradoxical rules, med sensors, and an eccentric yet utterly compelling confidante named Sadie—and life as Lane knows it will never be the same. 
Robyn Schneider's Extraordinary Means is a heart-wrenching yet ultimately hopeful story about the miracles of first love and second chances.
Available since: 05/25/2016.

    Get ready, because Cowgirl Kate and her horse Cocoa are back for more adventures on the range. These two best friends love to spend time together—they just don’t always see eye to eye. When Kate decides it’s time for Cocoa to get new horseshoes, her favorite horse has other ideas. And Kate might have to get sneaky to convince Cocoa to get new footwear. Then while riding the range counting the cows, they notice a calf is missing. Perhaps he’s playing hide and seek, which is just what Cocoa wants to do anyway! Kate also practices her roping skills—on Cocoa. Finally, the two even go swimming. But Kate isn’t quite ready to make the giant leap into the farm’s pond. This charming follow-up to the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award winner Cowgirl Kate and Cocoa  is a hit with kids, parents and critics. Partners offers children valuable lessons about friendship.  “This is a pleasing choice as either a beginning reader or a picture book to read aloud.”—Booklist
