He might like her now ... but she has her doubts about how he'll react if he ever looks under all her layers of clothes. In order to survive, Virginia decides to follow a "Fat Girl Code of Conduct," which works, until the unthinkable causes her family's facade to crumble. As her world spins out of orbit, she realizes that being true to herself might be the only way back.

Ink mage / by Gischler, Victor,1969-author.(CARDINAL)663749;
The city of Klaar has never fallen. No enemy has ever made it across the Long Bridge or penetrated the city's mighty walls. Even when a powerful invading army shows up at the gates, the duke and his daughter, Rina Veraiin, are certain that it poses little threat. But they are cruelly betrayed from within and, in a horrific spasm of violence, the city is brought to its knees. With the help of her bodyguard, Kork, the battle-trained young Rina narrowly escapes the slaughter and makes her way to the lair of an ancient sorcerer - the Ink Mage - who gifts her with a strange, beautiful set of magical tattoos. Now a duchess in exile, Rina sets out on a quest to reclaim what is rightfully hers, aided by a motley assortment of followers who will help her in her cause - some for noble reasons and others for their own dark purposes. With the enemy's agents nipping at her heels, Rina must learn to harness her new and startling magical powers if she is to assert her rightful place as ruler of Klaar.--Publisher.

Trial by Internet / by Hurt, Avery Elizabeth,editor.(CARDINAL)415814;
The relative anonymity of the Internet allows us to assert our knowledge like a professor, show off our seemingly perfect lives, and judge like we're presiding over a court of law. The problem with this relatively new phenomenon is that we often make snap judgments about other people's actions or statements without knowing all of the facts, and without giving others the benefit of the doubt. This volume dives deep into the realities of the Internet age: Do we become different people when we're on the Internet? What responsibility do we have in our treatment of others in this new society? Is it our place to be virtual judge and jury?Grade 9 to 12.Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Trial by facebook : a dangerous trend / Craig Charles Haley -- Trial by social media is the new form of people's court / Araceli Cruz -- Internet lynch mobs go after accused woman?and her defenders / Douglas Preston -- The media's court of public opinion finds casey anthony guilty as charged / Keith Long -- Improper internet use by jurors can be contempt of court / Dominic Greive -- Witch hunts and the presumption of innocence : The Web site Crime Talk -- Online, you are guilty even after being proven innocent / Sarah Downey -- As a form of trial by internet, cyberbullying can do serious harm / Hailey Ellis -- Cyberbullying is worse than bullying / Gideon Lasco -- Six disturbing cyberbullying cases that turned into suicide stories / Anonymous -- Official punishment lasts a few years : unofficially it may never end / Alison McCook -- Online complaint sites can ruin people's lives / CiviliNation -- Online vigilantism may increase wrongful convictions / Simon Chandler -- Social media is ruining politics / Nicholas Carr -- Fake election news stories outperformed real news on facebook / Craig Silverman -- Americans have been worried about internet?s influence on politics for several years / Aaron Smith -- Fake news and false rumors can sway an election / Yochi Dreazen -- You may be living in an information echo chamber / Jayson DeMers -- Organizations to contact -- Bibliography -- Index.
