  Marianne Blume has always known she's not smart. 
   
  After years of trying and trying at school, Marianne has mastered the art of getting by on luck, deflection, and her winning personality—that is, until she lands in Mr. Garcia’s class. Suddenly she’s at risk of flunking math, repeating the eighth grade, and being left behind by her best friend, Skyla.  
   
  To receive much-needed extra credit and get into high school, Marianne makes the desperate decision to join her school’s Quiz Quest team, only to find out they have problems of their own … and that they need to win the state championships for her to get the credit.  
   
  Now Marianne will need to believe she can succeed—like, truly believe it for the first time in her life—while also helping her teammates pull it together. Can Marianne learn to be smart? What does it mean to be “bright,” anyway? And will she be left in eighth grade forever? 
   
  Brigit Young (The Prettiest) has written an empowering story about bucking labels, overcoming preconceptions, and learning to hold your head—and hand—up high.

  It’s New Year’s Eve and the last thing Spid wants to do is celebrate. Now Spidmas is over, he feels unloved and unappreciated. But just as Spid is thinking he’ll never make anything of himself, Bid comes up with an idea that changes everything.This adventure is about recognising and taking charge of your feelings. And inspiring resolutions for the year ahead. It features two songs: 'New Year Ensemble' and 'Sheen Neean Kwai Luh (Xin Nian Kuai Le)' which is Chinese for Happy New Year. You can also find music videos of the songs at https://spidthespider.com and https://www.youtube.com/spidthespider. Spid is a lowly spider, who wants to better himself, write songs, and marry his girlfriend Bid, though he is prone to hilarious mishaps mostly of his own making. He is hard-working, cool, and a role model for young children. As well as encouraging children to read and love books, Spid's adventures also teach valuable life lessons, including determination and what psychologists call a 'growth mindset' (desire to better oneself and succeed), the importance of friendship, and sustainability. With very creative prose, Spid's adventures are fun for parents, and teachers to read to, and with, their children. They present lots of opportunities to invest dramatic licence thus helping adults and children interact and engage. The humour works at multiple levels from silly and slapstick to more sophisticated wordplay and concepts. Thus, children will discover more and enjoy reading the stories multiple times.
