But when she is sent to the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina to live with a family she barely knows, it seems unlikely that her wish will ever come true. That is until she meets

Wishbone, a skinny stray dog who captures her heart, and Howard, a neighbor boy who proves surprising in lots of ways. Suddenly Charlie is in serious danger of discovering that what she thought she wanted may not be what she needs at all.

With his help, Ally learns not to be so hard on herself and that dyslexia is nothing to be ashamed of. As her confidence grows, Ally feels free to be herself and the world starts opening up with possibilities.

Sticks and Stones by Abbey Cooper – Acceptance

Ever since she was a baby, the words people use to describe Elyse have instantly appeared on her arms and legs. At first it was just “cute” and “adorable,” but as she’s gotten older and kids have gotten meaner, words like “loser” and “pathetic” appear, and those words bubble up and itch. And then there are words like “interesting,” which she’s not really sure how to feel about.

Now, at age twelve, she’s starting middle school, and just when her friends who used to accept and protect her are drifting away, she receives an anonymous note saying “I know who you are, and I know what you’re dealing with. I want to help.” As Elyse works to solve the mystery of who is sending her these notes, she also finds new ways to accept who she is and to become her best self.

Fans of Wonder by R.J. Palacio will enjoy this book for its similar writing style, compelling characters, and upbeat tone…A quirky, clever, and lighthearted look at what it means to accept oneself…” ―School Library Journal

Half a World Away by Cynthia Kadohata – Belonging

Eleven-year-old Jaden is adopted, and he knows he’s an “epic fail.” That’s why his family is traveling to Kazakhstan to adopt a new baby–to replace him, he’s sure. And he gets it. He is incapable of stopping his stealing, hoarding, lighting fires, aggressive running, and obsession with electricity. He knows his parents love him, but he feels…nothing.

When they get to Kazakhstan, it turns out the infant they’ve traveled for has already been adopted, and literally within minutes are faced with having to choose from six other babies. While his parents agonize, Jaden is more interested in the toddlers. One, a little guy named Dimash, spies Jaden and barrels over to him every time he sees him. Jaden finds himself increasingly intrigued by and worried about Dimash. Already three years old and barely able to speak, Dimash will soon age out of the orphanage, and then his life will be as hopeless as Jaden feels now. For the first time in his life, Jaden actually feels something that isn’t pure blinding fury, and there’s no way to control it, or its power.

From camels rooting through garbage like raccoons, to eagles being trained like hunting dogs, to streets that are more pothole than pavement, the vivid depictions in Half a World Away create “an inspiring story that celebrates hope and second chances” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

 Seven Miles Deep – Chantrea – by Valerie Lord – Curiosity & Adventure

Thirteen-year-old Jake is an ordinary boy, much like any other boy. Except maybe he’s a bit short. And he doesn’t like spiders or snakes.

He does like the ocean though, and when he gets to visit his dad on a (supposedly) deserted tropical island and discovers a submarine hidden under the house, all he can think about is taking it down and exploring. But when he gets his chance, will he make the discovery of his life, or the biggest mistake ever?

Unlike Jake, Cori actually lives in the ocean, but he’s never gotten to explore it either. He’s always dreamed of seeing the endless, mysterious waters beyond the caves of Chantrea, so he’s thrilled when he’s sent on a mission into the great Outside.

But Cori’s mission isn’t the adventure he’d hoped for. Now he must hide from predators and fight for his life, and he may never find his way home. Even if he can, it may be too late…
