A Series of Unfortunate Events #10: The Slippery Slope

Lemony Snicket

Sinopsis

NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES 
Like bad smells, uninvited weekend guests or very old eggs, there are some things that ought to be avoided. 
Snicket's saga about the charming, intelligent, and grossly unlucky Baudelaire orphans continues to alarm its distressed and suspicious fans the world over. The tenth book in this outrageous publishing effort features more than the usual dose of distressing details, such as snow gnats, an organised troupe of youngsters, an evil villain with a dastardly plan, a secret headquarters and some dangerous antics you should not try at home. With the weather turning colder, this is one chilling book you would be better off without.

Roy G Biv Is Mad at Me Because I...

The Hard Kind of Promise

Gina Willner-Pardo

“A perceptive, poignant novel of middle-school identity and friendship” from the author of Prettiest Doll (The Horn Book). Sarah promised Marjorie when they were five years old that they would be best friends forever. But that was before seventh grade, when everything changed—everything except Marjorie. While Sarah wants to meet new people and try new things, Marjorie still likes doing the same things they always did. It seems the more time the two girls spend together, the more time Sarah wants to spend apart. How did a promise that was so easy to make become so hard to keep? With beautifully drawn characters and vivid details, this incisive novel portrays middle school in all its complexity—both the promise of what is to come and the pain of what must be left behind. This ebook includes a sample chapter of Prettiest Doll. “In this quiet, strongly realistic novel, Willner-Pardo explores the intricacies of preadolescent social life, where the worst possible thing is to be ‘weird.’” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “The sensitively drawn and satisfying conclusion will have girls nodding their heads with understanding as Sarah struggles with the promise she made years ago. A heartwarming story about life’s unexpected lessons, through the eyes of a girl experiencing them for the first time.” —School Library Journal “The dialogue is right-on, and readers will recognize the vicious social warfare from the lunchroom to the school bus.” —Booklist
