Lo Simpson Starts a Revolution

by Melanie Florence

In this funny yet moving coming-of-age novel, a girl finds comfort, and eventually her voice, by writing letters to The Doctor from her favorite TV show, Doctor Who. Lo and Jazz have been best friends ever since Jazz defended her when Bobby Zucker called her a horse face in second grade. But lately Jazz has seemed more interested in bikinis, boys and bras (ugh), and Lo is still perfectly happy with her comic books and Doctor Who. When Jazz ditches Lo for the It Girls, Lo feels completely adrift...until she overhears someone talking about the latest FanCon. There are others like her! With help from her new friends, and taking a cue from the Doctor (in whom she confides by writing letters), Lo begins to find her voice. Between giving Bobby Zucker a wedgie for harassing the It Girls, to bringing an abrupt end to spin-the-bottle at a party, to speaking up to the principal and demanding period supplies in student bathrooms, Lo finds her inner activist and the self-confidence that comes with growing up—on her own terms. The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.

by Jim Hancock Kara E. Powell

El sexo es todo. El sexo es nada. Así que, ¿cuál es la verdadera descripción? Por la manera en que mucha gente habla, pensarías que el sexo es como la comida, o comemos tres veces al día o nos morimos del hambre. Por otro lado, sabes que el sexo definitivamente no es poca cosa. Es demasiado potente, demasiado instintivo para sencillamente negarlo. Tarde o temprano, todos deben lidiar con ello. Este libro ofrece un acercamiento enteramente personal hacia tu sexualidad y Dios. En otras palabras, el sexo es más que pelvis y formas de conectarse. La sexualidad esta tejida a través de todo tu cuerpo, tu mente y tu espíritu. Esa es la forma en que estamos diseñados. Es la forma en que Dios nos creó. Significa que si quieres alcanzar el máximo disfrute del sexo, hallar a la persona correcta, el tiempo y los motivos adecuados, tienes que trabajar con esa conexión de cuerpo, mente y espíritu. Y este libro te ayuda a hacer justo eso con grandes dosis de tus propias percepciones sobre la sexualidad e ideas tomadas de la Biblia… cosas que te sorprenderán de aquel que te creó para que fueras un ser sexual desde el principio. He aquí algunas cosas que encontrará en él: Conversación sexual: Mensajes culturales y bíblicos referentes al sexo. Identidad sexual: Lo que la gente piensa sobre la sexualidad. Intimidad: Cortejo y acercamientos no sexuales. Deseo: La diferencia entre apetitos y necesidades. Límites: ¿Qué tan lejos es demasiado lejos?
