Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lucy Moon is the kind of girl who champions animal rights--during hunting season. She wears a woven hemp hat in support of third-world workers. She is the kind of girl who spots injustice and isn't afraid to fight it. But now that she’s in junior high, things have changed. The qualities that used to make Lucy distinctive now just mark her as uncool. It seems like everyone has been brainwashed–except for Lucy, who has activism in her DNA. But when her latest cause lands her with a harsh detention sentence, a “bad influence” reputation, and a vandalized locker, Lucy begins to lose her verve. Can she stand up for her beliefs and survive junior high?

Book excerpt: This powerful, timely novel in verse exposes provocative truths about periods, sex, shame, and going viral for all the wrong reasons. After school one day, Frankie, a lover of physics and astronomy, has her first sexual experience with quiet and gorgeous Benjamin—and gets her period. It’s only blood, they agree. But soon a gruesome meme goes viral, turning an intimate, affectionate afternoon into something sordid, mortifying, and damaging. In the time it takes to swipe a screen, Frankie’s universe implodes. Who can she trust? Not Harriet, her suddenly cruel best friend, and certainly not Benjamin, the only one who knows about the incident. As the online shaming takes on a horrifying life of its own, Frankie begins to wonder: is her real life over? Author Lucy Cuthew vividly portrays what it is to be a teen today with this fearless and ultimately uplifting novel in verse. Brimming with emotion, the story captures the intensity of friendships, first love, and female desire, while unflinchingly exploring the culture of online and menstrual shaming. Sure to be a conversation starter, Blood Moon is the unforgettable portrait of one girl’s fight to reclaim her reputation and to stand up against a culture that says periods are dirty.

Download or read book The Gothic Girl written by Xavier P. and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2014-04-11 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mayra is a different gothic girl who returns to her country trying to elude with it the ghost of her best friend who torments her. The point is that comes to a place that despite being a city, most of its inhabitants are dressed in denim clothing. The novel is inspired by the life of a real girl who belonged to such style and is narrated differently like some facts occurred, and others that probably would have passed, if there was existed will. I think the details that are told not differ much from the behavior of people or their imaginations. Although I know that this behavior of fantasy and poetry is not exclusive to them, I think most of them manifest more sensitivity to the things that surround them. I would like that to better understand the novel; reference is made to the details mentioned at the time they are indicated. This English version has been improved in its wording and added some changes in content. Thank you for your attention and I hope you enjoy it.
