Sound Effects Part 5
Selene was speechless as the beautiful girl who she had slammed the locker of that very morning plopped down beside her.
"Hey, can I sit here?" the girl asked, obviously oblivious to the many pairs of eyes staring at her.
Selene couldn't say a word, but her eyes must have said something, because the girl smiled and looked like she wasn't going anywhere.
"Hey, Makenzy! Don't sit with her!! Come sit with us!" she heard Mason Kent call from the opposite side of the room.
The girl, whom she was guessing was Makenzy, looked up at Mason, and looked back at her.
Selene's eyes quickly flashed to her lunch, avoiding eye contact.
Selene could tell all the pressure was on Makenzy; the whole cafeteria was watching her for her next move.

Book of The Month
It's always trouble to pick a title out of the 1,000 story library of the world, but sometimes you have to anyways. This month I chose the book, "Showoff" by Gordon Korman.
This book is actually the most recent of the series written staring "The Man With The Plan," Griffin Bing and his top-notch team consisting of the narcoleptic Ben, dog-whisperer Savannah, the shy technology wizard Melissa, climber Pitch, and actor Logan. Griffin is known for his crazy, out of the world plans from book 1, "Swindle."
Summary:
Griffin Bing and his friends are back - and this time, things have gone to the dogs!
After former attack dog Luthor goes berserk at a dog show, he's accused of ruining the career of the three-time national champion. Griffin has always wondered whether you could teach such a vicious dog new tricks . . . but he also smells a setup of some kind. He feels bad for Luthor - bad enough to spring him from the pound.
The only way for Luthor to make everything right is to do the unthinkable. . . and become the new national champion. Can Griffin Bing, The Man With The Plan, turn this beast into a beauty? Very soon, the whole world will want to know the answer.
Don't miss any antics of The Man With The Plan, from Gordon Korman:
"Swindle"
"Zoobreak"
"Framed"
Tip: This book is best understood after reading the whole series.
Recommended For:
Mystery Lovers, Adventure Seekers, nd Dog Lovers

Make It in America by Story Sharer
~Prologue~
I review the lyrics, over and over, still not believing my fate. Who knew a song by that TV brat, "Victoria Justice," could change my life forever?
• • •
America Cherry is your average, 15 year-old, American rich chick, going to a big school, has rich parents, and annoying, stuck-up enemies.
But her whole life changes when she hears a song that may be surprising and fun. When America hears it, this is serious. Not only is it a song that gets you to party, but a song with lyrics that may not make sense.
As America faces her hardships a year has passed and it dawns on her that the lyrics aren't just written for show.
The lyrics are her life story.

Thirteen-year-old Genevieve, or Gen, Welsh has no idea what her family is getting in to when they spend the summer at Camp Frontier in Wyoming. Gen, her parents, and her younger brother, Gavin, relenquish all their electronics, toiletries, clothing, and all other modern conveniences to live in a small cabin designed to reflect frontier life in 1890. Three other families live near them, doing the same thing, along with the camp owners and their teenage daughter, Nora. But as Gen learns to churn butter and milk a cow, she also sends texts to her friends back home on the new cell phone her parents promised her if she gives Camp Frontier a chance.

The Brittle Battle For Queen of Hearts Part 1
By M2
Ansley stood there in a dreaming trance, looking at the Valentine Dance poster.
"Ans? Earth to Ansley?" one of Ansley's best friends, Lia Simone called. "C'mon! We just GOTTA go to our seats at the dock. I'm dying to see my Justin!" she said love-struck.
Ansley smiled. "Of course! Only your POPULAR Justin, Kia's POPULAR Cale and my POPULAR Joshie would be on the dock! We ALL are popular!"
Ansley was so caught up on boasting about how popular she was that she hadn't noticed a runaway corn dog stand hurdling toward her.
Luckily, her boyfriend, Josh Dweller, pushed her out of the way. Unfortunately for her, the chili sauce on the cart tipped over, and landed right on her designer, chic, white blouse and splattered a smaller portion on Lia and Kia.
A boy her grade came running over. "Man, my cart!" he exclaimed pulling it upright to it's normal position.
"That's YOUR cart!?" Ansley screeched looking at the disaster on her clothes as the boy nodded. "YOU, YOU GEEK! DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU DID TO MY SHIRT?! THIS IS GENUINE!"
"Look, dork face." Josh reached for a napkin on the cart and tried to help his shrieking girlfriend. "Just take your dumb corn dog cart away, and you are forbidden from coming to the 'popularity dock' ever."
Shame-faced boy picked up his cart, and walked away.
