Description

It's the start of a new school year for Tyler, and with it comes brand-new problems. There are new bullies, new rules, and Tyler's starting to have a new understanding of his body. In the gym locker room, he notices how his body's soft curves contrast with the thin frames and toned muscles of the other boys. And on TV, it seems like someone who looks like Tyler never gets the girl. But is being thin the same thing as being healthy? What's wrong with being fat, anyway? When his dad forces the Page family to start dieting, Tyler discovers the difference between building a body that conforms to society's expectations and one that actually feels good to live in.

Every volume of Science Comics offers a complete introduction to a particular topic-dinosaurs, the solar system, volcanoes, bats, robots, and more. In this volume, you'll see real-life sea creatures like giant isopods, colossal squids, blood-sucking lampreys, horrific anglerfish, and many more! Unravel the mysteries of how they evolved to survive where there is no light, hardly any food, and water pressure so intense it would squash you like a sea slug! Whether you're a fourth grader doing a natural science unit at school or a thirty year-old with a secret passion for airplanes, these books are for you!

Description

It's the first day of senior year and seventeen-year-old Essie Rosen is already over it. Her best friend went off to college and barely responds to her texts, her brother's on the other side of the country in rehab, every conversation with her mom becomes a fight, and her long-term boyfriend, Bruno, feels weirdly distant. Essie's counting down the days until she can escape her Long Island hometown and join her bff at NYU, where she's sure she'll get into the acting program she's dreamed about for years. But when Essie gets dumped and botches her college audition, her entire trajectory changes. Instead of doing community theater, she ends up slumming it in the school play, where she's cast opposite the unexpectedly charming Christopher Sun... the younger brother of the drug dealer who got Essie's brother hooked. Is he the perfect rebound-or the worst decision Essie could make?
