Replica / by Oliver, Lauren,1982-author.(CARDINAL)339488; Container of (work):Oliver, Lauren,1982-Lyra.(CARDINAL)632245; Container of (work):Oliver, Lauren,1982-Gemma.(CARDINAL)632247;

"Replica" is a 'flip book' that contains two narratives in one, and it is the first in a duology. Turn the book one way and read Lyra's story; turn the book over and upside down and read Gemma's story. Lyra's story begins in the Haven Institute, a building tucked away on a private island off the coast of Florida that from a distance looks serene and even beautiful. But up close the locked doors, military guards, and biohazard suits tell a different story. In truth, Haven is a clandestine research facility where thousands of replicas, or human models, are born, raised, and observed. When a surprise attack is launched on Haven, two of its young experimental subjects--Lyra, or 24, and the boy known only as 72--manage to escape. Gemma has been in and out of hospitals for as long as she can remember. A lonely teen, her life is circumscribed by home, school, and her best friend, April. But after she is nearly abducted by a stranger claiming to know her, Gemma starts to investigate her family's past and discovers her father's mysterious connection to the secretive Haven research facility. Hungry for answers, she travels to Florida, only to stumble upon two replicas and a completely new set of questions.820LAccelerated Reader ARAccelerated Reader AR

Not under my roof : parents, teens, and the culture of sex / by Schalet, Amy T.;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Raging hormones, regulated love -- Dutch parents and the sleepover -- American parents and the drama of adolescent sexuality -- Adversarial and interdependent individualism -- "I didn't even want them to know": connection through control -- "At least they know where I am": control through connection -- Romantic rebels, regular lovers -- Sexuality, self-formation, and the state -- Conclusion: Beyond the drama -- Methodological appendix."For American parents, teenage sex is something to be feared and forbidden, and sex is often a source of family conflict. In the Netherlands, where teenage pregnancies are far less frequent than in the United States, parents aim above all for family cohesiveness, often permitting young couples to sleep together and providing them with contraceptives. Probing our child-rearing for what it tells us about our culture, Amy Schalet's Not Under my Roof offers an unprecedented, intimate account of the different ways that girls and boys in both countries negotiate sex, love, and growing up."--P. [4] of cover.

Technology's child : digital media's role in the ages and stages of growing up / by Davis, Katie(Assistant professor),author.(CARDINAL)404136;

Includes bibliographical references and index.What happens to the little ones, the tweens, and the teenagers, when technology--ubiquitous in the world they inhabit--becomes a critical part of their lives? This timely book Technology's Child brings much-needed clarity to what we know about technology's role in child development. Better yet, it provides guidance on how to use what we know to help children of all ages make the most of their digital experiences. From toddlers who are exploring their immediate environment to twentysomethings who are exploring their place in society, technology inevitably and profoundly affects their development. Drawing on her expertise in developmental science and design research, Katie Davis describes what happens when child development and technology design interact, and how this interaction is complicated by children's individual characteristics and social and cultural contexts. Critically, she explains how a self-directed experience of technology--one initiated, sustained, and ended voluntarily--supports healthy child development, especially when it takes place within the context of community support. Children's experiences with technology--their "screen time" and digital social relationships--have become an inescapable aspect of growing up. This book, for the first time, identifies the qualitative distinctions between different ages and stages of this engagement, and offers invaluable guidance for parents and teachers navigating the digital landscape, and for technology designers charting the way.
