Summary

New York Times bestselling author of One Last Word and Coretta Scott King award-winning Bronx Masquerade Nikki Grimes offers fresh novel in verse story about young heartbreak and hope. 
 
For  twelve years, Joylin Johnson's life has been just fine. A game of  basketball with the boys-especially her friend Jake-was all it took to  put a smile on her face. Baggy jeans, T-shirt, and hair in a ponytail  were easy choices. Then, everything suddenly seemed to change all at  once. Her best girl friend is now flirting with her best guy friend. Her  clothes seem all wrong. Jake is acting weird, and basketball isn't the  same. And worst of all, there is this guy, Santiago, who appears from . .  . where? What lengths will Joy go to--and who will she become--to  attract his attention?  
 
In short poems that perfectly capture the  crazy feelings of adolescence and first crushes, award-winning author  Nikki Grimes has crafted a delightful, often hilarious, heart-tugging  story.
Available since: 09/12/2012.
Print length: 160 pages.

    Can life get any worse for Dane the Defiant?The same villagers who once praised him for his courage in defeating Thidrek the Terrifying now blame him for everything that has gone wrong since then: The torrential downpours. The dwindling food supplies. Even the rampant outbreaks of armpit lice. Dane's deceased father would never have let things get so bad, the village elders say. But then Dane is summoned to the fortress of King Eldred, where he receives the final piece of his father's legacy: an ancient secret written in mysterious runes that leads to no less than the treasure of the gods. But the treasure, he learns, is cursed, and his mother is kidnapped. And so, braving an army of angry trolls and warring frost giants (and other fantastic creatures there isn't space here to describe), Dane and his friends must decipher the cryptic clues and embark on a quest to find the enchanted treasure and save her life. Oh, and all the while battling ultimate evil. Can Dane be the hero he has always wanted to be? Or will he fall prey to the curse and betray those he loves?
