Trade Paperback

by Beverley Brenna

Shortlisted for Canadian Library Association Young Adult Book of the Year Award 2007 Manitoba Young Readers'' Choice Award nominee 2007 Saskatchewan Young Readers'' Choice Willow Awards nominee Canadian Children''s Book Centre Our Choice Starred Selection White Pine nominee, 2007 McNally Robinson announced that Wild Orchid was one of the top five best selling books in Saskatechewan in 2006. Taylor Jane Simon is 18 years old and spending the summer with her mother in Prince Albert National Park. The holiday has been planned so Taylor''s mother can spend time with her latest boyfriend, Danny, and work in the pizza restaurant near the park that Danny runs. Taylor would just as soon stay at home in Saskatoon, but because she suffers from an autistic condition called Asperger''s Syndrome, she can''t stay on her own. Taylor''s mother encourages her daughter to explore the park''s possibilities on her own. For Taylor, whose life experience has been seriously limited, this means facing the test of meeting new people who work in the park''s nature center - and facing it alone. Summer also holds out the possibility of finding her own boyfriend, though Taylor isn''t quite sure what that may involve. What she discovers will change her life forever. Written as an epistolary novel, Wild Orchid is frank but optimistic, literal yet innocent. A courageous wit attends Taylor''s gradual emergence as her own person, and the reader will find the exploration of Taylor''s mind a revealing and heartwarming encounter. See Details

Hardcover

by Marlee Matlin

"She''s practically perfect," Megan said thoughtfully. She repeated the new girl''s name, practicing the way Ms. Endee had written it on the whiteboard. "Alexis Powell." Megan has spent forever planning her positively purple birthday sleepover. She''s even made glittery purple invitations for every girl in her class. Then a new girl, Alexis, joins their class. Alexis seems perfect: She''s smart, pretty, and rules the soccer games on the playground. But no matter how hard Megan tries to be a friend to Alexis, the new girl is aloof or rude. At first, Megan thinks Alexis is shy. Then Megan starts to fear that Alexis is treating her differently because she''s deaf. When the girls are forced to collaborate on a science fair project, Megan learns the truth -- and realizes that nobody''s perfect. Once again Marlee Matlin draws on experiences from her own childhood to tell Megan''s story. In this funny, poignant book, readers will root for Megan, a spirited young girl who doesn''t let anything stand in her way. See Details
