Book excerpt: When a family buys a house in a struggling town for just one dollar, they’re hoping to start over — but have they traded one set of problems for another? Twelve-year-old Lowen Grover, a budding comic-book artist, is still reeling from the shooting death of his friend Abe when he stumbles across an article about a former mill town giving away homes for just one dollar. It not only seems like the perfect escape from Flintlock and all of the awful memories associated with the city, but an opportunity for his mum to run her very own business. Fortunately, his family is willing to give it a try. But is the Dollar Program too good to be true? The homes are in horrible shape, and the locals are less than welcoming. Will Millville and the dollar house be the answer to the Grovers’ troubles? Or will they find they’ve traded one set of problems for another? From the author of Small as an Elephant and Paper Things comes a heart-tugging novel about guilt and grief, family and friendship, and, above all, community.

There’s just one problem—Gage doesn’t actually have a place to live. When Ari’s mother died four years ago, she had two final wishes: that Ari and her older brother, Gage, would stay together always, and that Ari would go to Carter, the middle school for gifted students. So when nineteen-year-old Gage decides he can no longer live with their bossy guardian, Janna, Ari knows she has to go with him. But it’s been two months, and Gage still hasn’t found them an apartment. He and Ari have been “couch surfing,” staying with Gage’s friend in a tiny apartment, crashing with Gage’s girlfriend and two roommates, and if necessary, sneaking into a juvenile shelter to escape the cold Maine nights. But all of this jumping around makes it hard for Ari to keep up with her schoolwork, never mind her friendships, and getting into Carter starts to seem impossible. Will Ari be forced to break one of her promises to Mama? Told in an open, authentic voice, this nuanced story of hiding in plain sight may have readers thinking about homelessness in a whole new way.

Download or read book Mom Dollar Money Color Edition written by Angela Reuss and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-08-12 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having a hard time dealing with kid chaos? Do you feel like your kids are walking all over you? Have they embarrassed you in public places? You are not alone! Almost every parent experiences these things! My name is Angela and I am a single mom of 3 children. As a parent, one thing I should have learned, is that freaking out on kids is not the way. While I began to understand this about parenting, I was just too busy. I had a 40+ hour per week job, and on top of that, I had to do EVERYTHING, and I mean everything: Doctor and dentist appointments, school meetings and functions, emergency room visits and chores such as vacuuming, laundry, cooking, sweeping, mopping, dishes - attempting to get the kids to do their chores was a chore in itself! Then we had things like volleyball, basketball, dance, grocery shopping. Wait, grocery shopping? I forgot to pick up toilet paper from the store today! Crap! Anyway, I had to do all of this while trying to maintain a job and income for our household and trying to fit in some actual quality time in with the kids. Not to mention me time- Wait... Me time? What's that?! I was in this exhausting juggling act of 360 degree parenting. My kids were getting out of control. There was very little structure, and a whole lot of disrespect and backtalk from the kids, not to mention the ever re-occurring sibling fights and arguments. It was tough being the only disciplinarian in the household with no one to call on for backup. I was suffering from extreme anxiety and life stresses- the kids and I were stressing each other out! Throughout all of this, I learned a huge lesson about parenting... Single parent or not, it's on me to GET - IT - TOGETHER It's easy to blame the father for not being there, or blame the media or other kids in our neighborhood or school for my children's behavior. But the truth is, it all comes down to us knowing what to do as parents. Raising kids isn't easy. Like they say, "Kids don't come with a handbook". While kids might not come with a handbook, surprisingly mine helped me write a book and create a system that provides a win-win solution by giving us all what we want! Discipline doesn't have to be a parent vs. kid battle. There is a way out, and the way out is to make your child accountable in a way that doesn't involve a power struggle. As adults, it's hard to remember what it was like to be a kid, or to know how capable kids really are. But the truth is, our kids can do way more than we give them credit for. While we should always parent with love and logic, in that same respect, we should motivate and challenge our kids to aim higher and strive more. Once we get them on that track, things will get a lot easier for everyone. This is why I wrote this book called Mom Dollar Money. While one might think they know what it's about based on the title, it's really not what one would think. No, this book is not about bribing your children. There's actually very little bribery or money involved in this parenting and discipline method. Mom Dollar Money is a special kind of system that breaks down the things we do as an adult, into something that children can understand. With this system, children will feel more in control of getting what they want, while you gain control of getting what you want- especially your sanity! With this kit, children will learn real world life-skills and accountability-without even realizing it! What if you could get something that operates kind of like a nanny, but without the nanny? What if you could have a way to get your children to behave on the spot without freaking out on them? What if you could spend less time freaking out on your kids, and spend more quality time with them? That's exactly what Mom Dollar Money is about!
