  When an evil king threatens the destruction of Zintaurus, one dog, Kaytaiya, must undertake a heroic quest. But not in her own dog body! Magically transformed by the exiled Queen Ravenna into the body of a cat, she is sent to find the Little Plane that holds the key to the survival of her homeland, and bring it back by train. But everyone she encounters has problems of their own and needs her support. The train, Joe, must have his will restored, having fallen under the spell of the mind-numbing weed, false bliss blossom. The plane is in deep despair, having been involved in a tragic accident, and has lost the ability to fly. Freckles, the mysterious one-armed dog sent to help the travelers, is socially isolated and in need of a friend.“Rescuing Zintaurus” is a magical musical play for middle grades that the Chicago Tribune raved, “well worth a listen” and the Hyde Park Herald called, “charming…it should delight adults, too.” Through the writing of psychiatrist Bob Druker, ably assisted by acclaimed Chicago songwriter Steve Dawson, there is much to learn about depression, substance abuse, trauma, loss and healing. A final dramatic confrontation awaits in Zintaurus between the forces of good and evil. Can good prevail? Yes, if the travelers can overcome their individual post traumatic problems. Otherwise, Zintaurus and its Rock of Truth and the very concept of Truth itself will be no more.Overcoming trauma is one of the most timely issues at this moment in history. And Druker argues that it is intimately related to another very timely issue, the defending of individual truth within ourselves, and in the world at large.

  In this beautifully written contemporary middle grade debut, an eighth grader's study of asexuality in science class leads her to understand her own asexual identity as she embarks on a journey toward self-discovery and self-advocacy. For readers of Alex Gino and Ashley Herring Blake. 
  There’s the part of me that doesn’t understand kissing or cuteness or attraction, and then there’s the part of me that feels so lonely. How do I make sense of those two parts? Maybe I’ll never make sense of them. 
  What do you do when there's a question inside you that feels so big, you don't know how to put words to it? How do you even begin to ask it? 
  Fourteen-year-old Lizzie is experiencing a lot of change: Her family had to move after the incident with their neighbor, leaving behind not only her beloved apple tree but what feels like her childhood along with it. Lizzie's brother is too busy for her in his first semester of college, and her friends are more interested in dating than dolls. It’s hard not to feel left behind, especially as she tries to explain the fact that she still has zero interest in boys, girls, or the baffling behavior known as “flirting.” 
  But just as Lizzie’s world feels like it's closing in, a class lesson on asexual reproduction in plants piques her curiosity, leading her to look up whether people can be asexual too—and suddenly, her world opens up. Lizzie finally finds an identity, a word for all her messy, unnamable feelings that feels like it fits, although she quickly realizes that a label isn’t enough if no one believes it’s real. 
  Accessible, moving, and compassionate, Just Lizzie effortlessly braids a nuanced individual journey of identity with the bittersweet angst of growing up, growing apart, and learning there are many ways to live and love.
