"Hiyama Nachi is an intrepid, impulsive middle-schooler who's coming to realize just how hard it is to be different from those around her. Her fair skin and inability to tan makes her stand out from the rest of her classmates, and their teasing only makes her growing self-consciousness worse and worse. When she meets a shy kindred spirit in classmate Kaisei Utsumi and discovers his secret (he has a tail?!), Nachi's initial rejection gives way to a growing fascination toward him--more than just for what sets him apart, but for his kind, reserved nature and the rarity of his smiles. Despite Utsumi's reluctance to let her get closer, Nachi is too stubborn for her own good. Unfortunately, she soon comes to realize just how cruel the world is to those who are deemed different..."--Rated T; for Teen, age 13+.

Abortion /
Although abortion was officially decriminalized in the United States by the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, perspectives on abortion have always been, and remain today, radically different from state to state and person to person. Religion, access to birth control, the development of women's health care, and institutions such as Planned Parenthood are all at play in the public understanding of abortion. With recent changes in the Supreme Court causing uncertainty for the future of abortion access, the debate between pro-choice and pro-life advocates blazes on. Through this collection of articles, readers will discover stories of women's individual experiences, public protests, and groundbreaking U.S. legislation.Grade 7-12- Subjects: Young adult literature.; Young adult literature.; Abortion; Abortion;

- Coming of age in Samoa : a psychological study of primitive youth for western civilisation / by Mead, Margaret,1901-1978.;
Rarely do science and literature come together in the same book. When they do -- as in Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, for example -- they become classics, quoted and studied by scholars and the general public alike. Margaret Mead accomplished this remarkable feat not once but several times, beginning with Coming of Age in Samoa. It details her historic journey to American Samoa, taken when she was just twenty-three, where she did her first fieldwork. Here, for the first time, she presented to the public the idea that the individual experience of developmental stages could be shaped by cultural demands and expectations. Adolescence, she wrote, might be more or less stormy, and sexual development more or less problematic in different cultures. Mead's revolutionary book, dedicated to the girls of Tau, was one of the first studies to pay attention to girls' lives. Her keen observations contain many ideas that are still powerful today-that sexuality is culturally-shaped, that adolescence need not be stressful, and that the lives of adolescent girls are worthy of attention and respect. Now this groundbreaking, beautifully written work as been reissued for the centennial of Mead's birth, featuring introductions by Mary Pipher, Ph.D. (Reviving Ophelia) and by Mead's daughter, Mary Catherine Bateso (Composing a Life).- Subjects: Samoans; Girls; Children; Women, Samoan; Adolescence.;
