What Goes Up

What Goes Up

by Katie Kennedy | Hardcover, $17.99 »

"An exemplary blend of humor, adventure, and inter-dimensional space travel, Katie Kennedy's What Goes Up is a real jewel among sci-fi novels. It has an enthralling storyline and a diverse assembly of characters, and Kennedy was able to make the most out of both. The story was both interesting and action-packed, and her characters were extremely well-written. What Goes Up did not disappoint in the slightest."  —Danielle (13), B.I.T. reader
 
Far From the Tree

Far from the Tree: Young Adult Edition--How Children and Their Parents Learn to Accept One Another . . . Our Differences Unite Us

by Andrew Solomon, Laurie Calkhoven (Adapted by) | Hardcover, $18.99 »

"Far From the Tree in a nonfiction book that tells stories of children who have a unique identity from their parents such as deafness, dwarfism, transgender, child criminal, down syndrome, autism, schizophrenia, physical or mental disability, being a prodigy, or a child born of rape. Each of these different identities or characteristics of the children made them different from their parents which led to lots of challenges for their whole family. I am very privileged to have gotten the chance to read this book because it helped me to better appreciate those with disabilities or even just kids who are acting strange. This book is very touching and deep and I recommend it for anybody who wants a challenge or a change of heart."   —Ryanna (14), B.I.T. reader

This book creates a complete world that I want to live in and explore, full of fun friendships and magical mysteries. If you like stories about overcoming challenges, hysterical accidents, and danger you will love this book! "  —Eric
