A mindful, gentle picture book about patience and learning to find beauty in the act of waiting.

Sometimes, you have to wait.

For the line at the public pool on a hot summer day.
For mom to come home after being away.

For your legs to grow just a bit longer to ride a new big kid bike.

The seconds drag on... each one feels like forever. Why can’t you have it now?

But while you wait, you might notice things: a possible new friend who is also in line, why homecoming hugs are extra special, and how beautiful the world is when you’re not racing by.

Sometimes, when you have to wait, you find the good in the moments between now and later.

Sixteen-year-old Kit Tyler is marked by suspicion and disapproval from the moment she arrives on the unfamiliar shores of colonial Connecticut in 1687. Alone and desperate, she has been forced to leave her beloved home on the island of Barbados and join a family she has never met.

Torn between her quest for belonging and her desire to be true to herself, Kit struggles to survive in a hostile place. Just when it seems she must give up, she finds a kindred spirit. But Kit’s friendship with Hannah Tupper, believed by the colonists to be a witch, proves more taboo than she could have imagined and ultimately forces Kit to choose between her heart and her duty.

Having recently joined the school newspaper, Karen decides to investigate a mysterious online troll that goes by the moniker M1N0T4UR. This leads her to a treacherous maze beneath the school where Karen and her friends must complete a set of phases to leave the labyrinth.

When an average girl moves to Mt. Olympus, she discovers her new classmates are gods and mythological creatures are actually real—as if junior high isn't hard enough!

Starting a new school can be difficult, but starting school at Mt. Olympus Junior High, where students are gods and goddesses, just might take the cake.

'Sensitive, intuitive, restrained . . . will take its place with the books that endure.'--Saturday Review 'Written with rare intuition and pictured with warm sympathy and charm.'--The Horn Book 'No young person . . . will ever forget it.'--Book Week —

==================================================

Una historia sobre Wanda, que usaba el mismo vestido descolorido todos los días en la escuela, pero afirmaba tener cien vestidos en casa.

"... para Maddie, ese asunto de preguntarle a Wanda todos los días cuántos vestidos y cuántos sombreros y cuántos de esto y esto otro tenía la estaba molestando. Maddie también era pobre. Por lo general, vestía ropa heredada de alguien. Gracias a Dios, no vivía a la altura de Boggins Heights ni tenía un nombre gracioso."
