Paperback. Zustand: Good. For every kid, there's a horse that can help. At least, that's the idea at Quartz Creek Ranch. But Hanna doubts it will be true for her. Going to Quartz Creek was her mother's idea; Hanna's too terrified of horses to even go near them. Then Hanna meets Shy Guy, a gray gelding who's just as afraid of people as she is of horses. Of all people, Hanna is the one Shy Guy begins to trust, revealing his grace and skill in the arena. But when Shy Guy's mysterious past comes to light, everything they've worked for starts slipping away. Can Shy Guy's confidence in Hanna give her the self-confidence she needs to save him.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Whether you call them kicks or sneakers, runners or gutties, you probably have a pair of athletic shoes in your closet. The earliest sneakers debuted in the 1800s and weren't much more than a canvas upper and a flexible sole made of a crazy new material--rubber. The stuff might have been new to Americans then, but for thousands of years, the indigenous peoples of the Amazon Basin of South America had been using latex made from the milky sap of hevea trees to protect their feet from rocks, sticks, and biting insects. Once Charles Goodyear figured out how to make the stuff more durable, sneakers were here to stay. Early sneakers were initially designed for elite athletes, but kids and teens quickly adopted them. Some of the first brands included Converse, Brooks, and Saucony. German companies Adidas and Puma started up during World War II. The Nike shoe debuted in the 1970s (with a bit of inspiration from a waffle iron). As fitness crazes took off in the 1980s, people all over the world started buying the shoes for workouts and everyday wear. At about the same time, companies began hiring high-profile athletes and pop stars for big-dollar endorsements, and shoe sales soared into the stratosphere to the tune of billions of dollars each year. In Sneaker Century, follow sneaker fashions and the larger-than-life personalities behind the best known athletic shoe brands in history. Learn how teen sneakerheads became important style makers and drove the success of NIKE, Inc., and other shoe companies. Look behind the scenes at the labor-intensive process of manufacturing sneakers. Explore the sneaker frontier of the future--recycled shoes, earth-friendly initiatives, and high-fashion statements. Get ready to speed through the Sneaker Century.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Honest, poignant, and diverse stories about first sexual experiences, The V-Word explores consent, relationships, pressure, and growing up--with helpful resources for teens and the adults who support them. "Losing it." "Popping your cherry." "Handing in your V-card." There are plenty of ways to talk about your first sexual experience--but there's no single way it's supposed to happen. Will it be romantic or awkward? Exciting or disappointing? Something you're ready for--or something you decide to wait on? And how do you know what's right for you? In The V-Word, seventeen writers--including Christa Desir, Justina Ireland, Sara Ryan, Carrie Mesrobian, Erica Lorraine Scheidt, and Jamia Wilson--pull back the sheets and tell honest, unfiltered stories about first sexual experiences. They explore everything from straight sex to queer sex, choosing to wait to feeling ready, and the complicated mix of excitement, uncertainty, pleasure, pressure, humor, and vulnerability that can come with intimacy. Funny, sexy, awkward, meaningful, cringe-worthy, empowering, and sometimes transformative, these stories don't preach or prescribe. Instead, they offer a range of real experiences and perspectives, giving teens space to think about consent, boundaries, relationships, readiness, and what they want for themselves. Because there's no "right" time, no perfect first time, and no one else's experience that has to become your own. The V-Word is an invitation to ask questions, trust yourself, and make choices on your own terms. …
