But they are also four kids chosen for an elite middle school track team - a team that could qualify them for the Junior Olympics if they can get their acts together. They all have a lot to lose, but they also have a lot to prove, not only to each other, but to themselves.

Melody is not like most people. She cannot walk or talk, but she has a photographic memory; she can remember every detail of everything she has ever experienced. She is smarter than most of the adults who try to diagnose her and smarter than her classmates in her integrated classroom - the very same classmates who dismiss her as mentally challenged because she cannot tell them otherwise. But Melody refuses to be defined by cerebral palsy.

The first time she saw him, she flipped. The first time he saw her, he ran. That was the second grade, but not much has changed by the seventh. Juli says, "My Bryce. Still walking around with my first kiss." He says, "It's been six years of strategic avoidance and social discomfort." But in the eighth grade, everything gets turned upside down: Just as Bryce is thinking that there's maybe more to Juli than meets the eye, she's thinking that he's not quite all he seemed.

Publisher's summary
Dive into an audiobook experience like no other, brought to you by the critically acclaimed and internationally award-winning writer and actor Aaron Braxton. Prepare to embark on an incredible journey with Jesse and the Caterpillar Who Got Its Wings.
Narrated by Aaron, this audiobook is a captivating and emotionally charged coming-of-age portrait set against the backdrop of the Midwest. Meet Jesse, a 10-year-old, awkward and often misunderstood, 5th grader, with a unique perspective on the world, driven by intelligence and insatiable curiosity. Join him as he navigates the complexities of relationships, embarks on a quest for greatness, and faces the challenges of growing up. Alongside 10-year-old Khalilah, Jesse experiences the highs of love, the lows of loss, and the weight of tragedy.
Throughout this poignant narrative, the metamorphosis of caterpillars as they evolve from craving, crawling creatures to graceful winged beauties serves as a metaphor for life itself. Jesse learns valuable lessons, gains self-awareness, and discovers an identity he never fully grasped. But just when he thought he had life figured out, an unexpected disaster shakes the very foundations of his understanding.
This transcendent work invites you into the mind of an ordinary yet extraordinary African American boy. It's a tale that will make you laugh, shed tears, and, in a world that often feels uncontrollable, ponder the question: "When the carefree age of innocence is lost, what remains in its place?" Jesse emerges as a hero for all ages, a testament to the belief that "When there's greatness inside, no one can say you can't fly."
Don't miss the chance to embark on this unforgettable auditory adventure with Jesse and the Caterpillar Who Got Its Wings. Moreover, this audiobook is academically aligned with Common Core Standards, making it an enriching experience for both young and old.

Falling in love wasn't the plan. But how could I resist his promises of hope? Of forgiveness? Of a future I had stopped dreaming of? We were shattered. We were scarred.

When Adam Blake lands the best elective ever in his senior year, serving as an aide to the school psychologist, he thinks he's got it made.

Story
Victor hates his life. He has no friends, gets beaten up at school, and his parents are always criticizing him. Tired of feeling miserable, Victor takes a bottle of his mother’s sleeping pills - only to wake up in the hospital. Bull is angry, and takes all of his rage out on Victor. That makes him feel better, at least a little. But it doesn’t stop Bull’s grandfather from getting drunk and hitting him. So Bull tries to defend himself with a loaded gun. When Victor and Bull end up as roommates in the same psych ward, there’s no way to escape each other or their problems. Which means things are going to get worse - much worse - before they get better.

Sam Jones and Zoe Miller have one thing in common: they both want an escape from reality. Loner Sam flies under the radar at school and walks on eggshells at home to manage her mom’s obsessive-compulsive disorder, wondering how she can ever leave to pursue her dream of studying aerospace engineering. Popular, people-pleasing Zoe puts up walls so no one can see her true self: the girl who was abandoned as an infant, whose adoptive mother has cancer, and whose disabled brother is being sent away to live in a facility.
