Download or read book The Kind Fashionista written by Joanna Slodownik and published by Joanna Slodownik. This book was released on 2021-01-09 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ★ Can a group of fashion-challenged dorks and social misfits steal the fashion show from the glamorous but mean fashionistas, proving that personality, smarts, and self-expression win (almost) every time? ★ A FUN NEW RELEASE FOR GIRLS 2021! (Available in paperback and as Kindle Unlimited download.) When the Find-Your-Style fashion design, sewing, and jewelry making workshop is announced, culminating with a FASHION SHOW & EXTRAVAGANZA, I don’t even think about participating. After being officially appointed one of the biggest fashion DISASTERS by the school fashionistas, I don’t believe I would even stand a chance and don’t want to humiliate myself in front of the entire school and town. Besides, being trendy and following the latest fashion is not something that I’m concerned about. In my book, practicality wins every time over appearances, and what’s ACTUALLY INSIDE YOUR HEAD is more important than what color your hair is and whether it’s been blow-dried, curled, and hair-sprayed. I mean, who has the time to waste on coordinating your clothes and accessories with your nails every morning, not to mention the money it costs? Not me! I can think of at least ten better things to do. Or—make it a thousand! (And even if I had loads of money to spare, I’d donate it to a farm sanctuary or animal shelter rather than waste it on products that are superfluous and superficial and just plain silly.) It’s only when I realize that participating in the show may actually give my friends and me a chance to get back at the mean fashionistas that I decide to join the ‘circus’ but do it on my terms. There is only one problem—signing up is easy, but what will we present? With the show’s big date getting closer, there’s little time to figure out our revenge. As we go on that journey, we get close and personal with the contents of our closets and face our dorkiness, self-consciousness, and other demons. We also discover that we are not just smart and caring individuals with an important message to share with the world (and our school mates) but have a distinct personal style as well. *** This book will almost definitely change the way you think about fashion. And you’ll never look at the contents of your closet the same way again! Note: The Kind Fashionista is a fun book about fashion and style with an important message to share—an exciting new release in tween and teen fiction for girls 2021, as well as middle school new releases for girls. If you’re looking for entertaining, educational, inspirational, and uplifting stories to read for your kid, funny books about dorks, new tween fiction best sellers, and fun fashion design gifts—definitely check out this book and the whole new series, Rebel Girls With A Cause, that middle-schoolers, tweens, and teens, will enjoy.

Eileen struggles to cope and to hold herself together as life continues to throw curveballs along her path. In the end, she must surrender to an understanding that there is more to life than we can ever fully comprehend. Eileen had always searched for her ‘happy ever after’, but the end of her story is very different than what she had expected. She finds that though it does not match up to her original expectations, it does lead to peace and true happiness. A Certain Kind of Light explores the difficulty that Eileen faces in coming to terms with the spiritual awakening that meeting this man triggers and the consequences that this has for her life. A Certain Kind of Light is a book exploring the universal difficulty of comprehending that there is much more to living than we may originally perceive. It is a story about liberation and discovery, with a protagonist who learns to be who she really is in a world that demands the opposite. Shifting between the mundane and the extraordinary, Mary’s debut novel explores how an experience can illuminate the ordinary and transform it into something magical. The book has a small, but strong and memorable cast, and is filled with fascinating contrasts between the visible and the invisible, and the factual and the unknown. Mary is inspired by Neil Gaiman and Angela Carter. A Certain Kind of Light is an intriguing and ultimately uplifting book that will appeal to readers of spiritual fiction and magical realism.

Twenty-five years ago, a young girl left home to walk to school. Her younger sister soon followed. But one of them arrived, and one of them didn’t. Her sister’s disappearance has defined Willa’s life. Everyone thinks her sister is dead, but Willa knows she isn’t. Because there are some things that only sisters know about each other—and some bonds only sisters can break. Willa sees fragments of her sister everywhere — the way that woman on the train turns her head, the gait of that woman in Paris. If there’s the slightest resemblance, Willa drops everything, and everyone, and tries to see if it is her. When Willa is invited to a dinner party thrown by her first love, she has no reason to expect it will be anything other than an ordinary evening. Both of them have moved on, ancient history. But nothing about Willa’s life has been ordinary since the day her sister disappeared, and that’s not about to change tonight. Sarah Easter Collins has written an extraordinary novel about memory, lost love, and long-buried secrets that sometimes see the light of day.

Book excerpt: Jazmine Crawford doesn’t make decisions. She doesn’t make choices. She doesn’t make friends. Jazmine Crawford only wants one thing: to be invisible. For Jazmine, it’s a lot easier to take out her hearing aid and drift along pretending that nothing’s wrong than it is to admit that she’s heartbroken about her dad dying. She’s been drifting and ignoring her over-worried mum for four years now. When bad girl Shalini and her mates adopt Jazmine, she quickly finds herself involved in more than she can handle. Sitting in disgrace in the principal’s office, Jazmine is offered a choice: help drama teacher Miss Fraser in the upcoming production of The Secret Garden or face a four week suspension. It’s Miss Fraser who clinches the decision. “I believe in you Jazmine,” she says. “I know you can do this.” And Jazmine, terrified, disbelieving and elated all at the same time, joins the play. For a while it’s all good. Drama star and chocolate lover Liam is friendly and Jazmine realises that making friends, talking to her mother and feeling her emotions isn’t as scary as she thought. In a final happy twist of fate, acting diva Angela quits the play and with only a week to go, Miss Fraser asks Jazmine to take on the main role of Mary. But then Shalini returns from her suspension. She’s out for payback, and she has just the ammunition she needs to force Jazmine to quit the play and go back to her old ways. Will Jazmine be confident enough to stand up for herself against Shalini? Will Liam still like her if he finds out who she really is? And does she have the strength to face the truth about what really happened to her dad?
