Summary

Phyre knows there is something life-changing about her new drama  teacher, Mia, from the moment they meet. As Phyre rehearses for the  school play, she comes to realize that the unrequited feelings she has  for Mia go deeper than she's ever experienced. Especially with a  teacher. Or a woman. All the while, Phyre's best friend-addressed  throughout the story in the second person, as "you"-stands by, ready to  help Phyre make sense of her feelings. But just as Mia doesn't  understand what Phyre feels, Phyre can't fathom the depth of her best  friend's feelings...until it's almost too late for a happy ending.  Characters come to life through the innovative screenplay format of this  dazzling debut, and unanswered questions-is "you" male or female?-will  have readers talking.

    Award-winning author/illustrator James Rice’s picture book Cowboy Night Before Christmas sets the classic holiday story in the southwest.   “’Twas a cold Christmas eve on the Southwestern plain,” and two lonely cowboys are shivering from the cold. A knock at the door of their sod shanty rouses them, and they admit a fat little old man with frost on his whiskers and hat.   The old man had been moving a load across the country when his team fled north to escape the panhandle cold. Now he must find a new team to help him finish his rounds.   In this twist on the classic tale, the two cowboys help the mysterious man round up eight replacement longhorns. Together they hitch the cattle up to the odd gent’s wagon and see him on his way. The two cowboys trudge back to their shanty, where they discover the gifts the stranger has left them.  Cowboy Night Before Christmas features whimsical illustrations from James Rice, widely acclaimed as one of the leading author/illustrators of American juvenile fiction. His fifty-plus children’s titles total more than a million and a half copies in print; and his Cajun Night Before Christmas has become a seasonal classic.   Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

He befriends Jack Nin, the stowaway turned cabin boy of Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s ship.

    Praise for the first book in the Ranger in Time series: 
     
    “This excellent story contains historical details, full-page illustrations, and enough action to keep even reluctant readers engaged.” —School Library Journal 
     
    “The third-person narration expertly balances Ranger’s thoughts between the appropriately doglike (squirrels! bacon!) and the heroic (Ranger’s drive to find and protect).” —Kirkus Reviews 
     
    “McMorris’s richly rendered illustrations heighten the plot’s many moments of danger and drama, and Messner incorporates a wealth of historical details into her rousing adventure story.” —Publishers Weekly
