  "This lyrical title captures the vulnerability of a tween dealing with many challenges …"—School Library Journal, starred review 
    
  The worst is yet to come. 
    
  Twelve-year-old Collin is always prepared for something to go wrong. Ever since he lost his mom in a car accident, he's filled his journal with careful research on how to survive any disaster: avalanches, riptides, even halitosis. Too bad there's no guidebook on what to do when your dad starts hoarding.  
    
  Determined to hide his increasingly messy home life from his friends, Collin navigates middle school alongside the hilarious and clueless Liam, and Georgia, Collin's maybe-crush. Can Collin learn to be vulnerable around those he loves, even when he can't control every possible scenario?

  Sylvia never expected to be at the center of a landmark legal battle; all she wanted was to enroll in school. 
   
   
    
  Aki never expected to be relocated to a Japanese internment camp in the Arizona desert; all she wanted was to stay on her family farm and finish the school year. 
   
   
    
  The two girls certainly never expected to know each other, until their lives intersected in Southern California during a time when their country changed forever. 
   
   
    
  Here is the remarkable story based on true events of Sylvia Mendez and Aki Munemitsu, two ordinary girls living in extraordinary times. When Sylvia and her brothers are not allowed to register at the same school Aki attended and are instead sent to a "Mexican" school, the stage is set for Sylvia's father to challenge in court the separation of races in California's schools. Ultimately, Mendez vs. Westminster School District led to the desegregation of California schools and helped build the case that would end school segregation nationally. 
   
   
    
  Through extensive interviews with Sylvia and Aki—still good friends to this day—Winifred Conkling brings to life two stories of persistent courage in the face of tremendous odds.

  A Complete Summary of Sell Like Crazy 
  If you are passionate about the sales and marketing world, perhaps you have already met a customer who is difficult to please when it comes to presenting your product or offering your services. It is common to believe that efficiency, which surely identifies you totally, is a guarantee to close sales and business with potential customers. Many times, believing that doing everything right will lead you directly to success is a mentality that stagnates us and generates frustration when we do not perceive the results we want immediately. In the same way, starting in the sales and trade world can be very intimidating and can generate some mistakes at the pace. The most important thing is to maintain the best attitude in the world and not only have a positive mentality, instead create effective strategies that will allow you to avoid the objections that stand in your way or, in the worst case, learn to manage them and not let them hinder your business. 
  This book can help you with the possible objections that any client may face to your proposals and you will acquire a basic understanding of them, since understanding the other is the first step to approach him or her, so reflecting on the needs of your clients and why they might reject you will help you to respond assertively and not do so defensively and inefficiently. Furthermore, it is important to understand that an objection can give us enough information to improve the product or actively convince the client, everything depends on our receptivity to the objection and to the words of the other who is refusing, but who is only exposing his most elementary needs.
