The moment she meets the other student members of the stage crew, Mia realizes she’s not at St. Hilary’s anymore. There’s Zoe, a Goth punk rock singer with fifteen facial piercings; Henry, a caffeine addict with the self-declared ability to predict people’s coffee preferences; and Eric, a former childhood friend who’s definitely outgrown his shy ways and geeky appearance. At first, Mia’s mortified when she’s forced to perform for audiences dressed as Playtime Pal--the clown who introduces the plays--or be a last-second stand-in for a kid who’s just tossed his cookies on stage (after she has cleaned it up, of course) or is abruptly hauled off for a family vacation. But as the summer progresses, Mia realizes something very strange--she actually enjoys acting! As Mia begins to explore this less meek version of her former self, Tim does something that destroys her trust in him and shatters her heart. This act of betrayal ultimately sends Mia into the arms of the easy-going, Adonis-like, and very willing Eric. And when the summer comes to an end, bringing Tim back into her Des Moines, Iowa life, Mia has a tough decision to make: Should she return to Tim and her former shy ways, or should she continue to let this new Mia grab some of her own? In this sequel to the much-loved Mia the Meek, readers will again enjoy spending time with Mia Fullerton, watching as she navigates the next stage of adolescence, one humorous and memorable fiasco at a time.

Michael Ende – Poetik und Positionierungen (Abhandlungen zur Literaturwissenschaft)
by Thomas Boyken Thomas ScholzDie Beiträge untersuchen Michael Endes Poetik und das Verhältnis des als Kinder- und Jugendbuchautor wahrgenommenen Autors zum literarischen und intellektuellen Feld der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Dass sich Ende während seiner gesamten Schriftstellertätigkeit um die Anerkennung des literarischen und intellektuellen Feldes der Bundesrepublik bemüht hat, ist dokumentiert und Bestandteil des feuilletonistischen und akademischen Ende-Diskurses. Welche Strategien und Verfahren Ende für diesen Zweck einsetzte und in welchen Wechselbeziehungen diese zu seinem literarischen Werk stehen, wird hier erstmals systematisch untersucht. Dabei greifen die Beiträge sowohl auf Endes literarische Texte als auch auf seine (literatur-)theoretischen Reden aus, um Endes Poetik und seine Positionierungsstrategien zu konturieren.

Michi Challenges History: From Farm Girl To Costume Designer To Relentless Seeker Of The Truth: The Life Of Michi Weglyn
by Ken MochizukiA powerful biography of Michi Weglyn, the Japanese American fashion designer whose activism fueled a movement for recognition of and reparations for America’s World War II concentration camps. The daughter of Japanese immigrants, Michi Nishiura Weglyn was confined in Arizona’s Gila River concentration camp during World War II. She later became a costume designer for Broadway and worked as the wardrobe designer for some of the most popular television personalities of the ’50s and early ’60s. In 1968, after a televised statement by the US Attorney General that concentration camps in America never existed, Michi embarked on an eight-year solo quest through libraries and the National Archives to expose and account for the existence of the World War II camps where she and other Japanese Americans were imprisoned. Her research became a major catalyst for passage of the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, in which the US government admitted that its treatment of Japanese Americans during World War II was wrong. Thoroughly researched and intricately told, Michi Changes History is a masterful portrayal of one woman’s fight for the truth—and for justice.
Mick & Michelle
by Nina RossingFifteen-year-old Mick Mullins has a great life: his parents are sweet, his sister is tolerable, and his friendships are solid. But as summer descends on Queens, he prepares to turn his carefree existence upside down by disclosing a secret he has kept long enough. It’s time to work up the courage to reveal that he is not a boy, but a girl—and that her name is Michelle. Having always been the perfect, good boy, Michelle is terrified that the complicated truth will disappoint, hurt, or push away the people closest to her. She can’t continue hiding for much longer, though, because her body is turning into that of a man’s, and she is desperate to stop the development—desperate enough to consider self-medicating with hormones. Most of all, Michelle fears that Grandpa, who is in a nursing home after a near fatal stroke, won’t survive the shock if he finds out that his favorite grandchild, and the only boy, is a girl. If she kills her beloved Grandpa by leaving Mick behind, she isn’t sure embracing her real identity will be worth the loss.
