Monday I Love You
by Constance C. GreeneGrace has two big problems--how will she cope? Grace Schmitt is a bit of a dreamer. In her mind, she's the most popular girl in school, with flowing golden hair and too many friends to count. And let's not forget all the boys who admire her perfectly proportioned figure. Everything is, in a word, perfect. Unfortunately, Grace's life is a bit more complicated than that in reality. Going into tenth grade, her body changes rapidly, leaving her feeling ungainly, awkward, and conspicuous, mostly because of her large bust. It's become such a problem that she's begun saving money for breast-reduction surgery. Things come to a head when a circle of cruel classmates, led by Ashley, the actual most popular girl in school, decide to see if Grace's breasts are real. On the worst day of her life, it takes a miracle (in the form of Ms. Govoni, the gym teacher) to save Grace from life-altering humiliation. Little does she know, the experience will trigger an astounding series of events that test her character, bolster her self-esteem, and turn her life around.

Monet and the Impressionists for Kids invites children to delight in Cassatt's mothers and children, Renoir's dancing couples, and Gaugin's island scenes; 21 activities explore Monet's quick shimmering brush strokes, Cezanne's brilliant rectangles of color, Seurat's pointillism, and Degas's sculpture-like circles of dancers. Kids will learn how the artists' friendships sustained them through repeated rejection by the Parisian art world, and how they lived, painted, and thrilled to the vibrant life of Paris at the approach of the 20th century.

Monet's Ghost
by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro[From the front inside flap:] "When Geena Howe first discovers her ability to project herself inside a painting, she thinks it is the most wonderful thing in the world. She can explore the worlds of her favorite artists, from Mondrian to Rembrandt, for as long as she wants. The only rule is that she must leave at the same spot where she entered the painting in the first place. Disaster strikes when she enters a painting by Claude Monet of a pond filled with water lilies. The inhabitants of the castle at the far end of the painting inform her that the castle and entire vicinity are haunted. Geena is skeptical of this "ghost" that supposedly changes the landscape regularly, but changes her mind when the castle, the land around it, even her clothes and hair are altered! Worse, the changes have eliminated the water lily pond, cutting Geena off from home. Geena must brave a huge maze in order to confront the ghost and convince it--or them--to put the pond back so she can get home!" During her days and nights trapped in the castle, Geena discovers first hand the different between the culture in her time and that of France over a century ago. A boy, Crispin, about her age, who knows he and his surroundings will probably change every few hours, finds the courage to travel through the rough castle with Geena to help her find the place in the lily-covered moat where she arrived. His guidance and information, food he helps her to pack and the lanterns he shows her how to light are among many of his efforts on her behalf. Though he finds what she tells him about her high school impossible to believe, and they argue constantly, he makes pickle and cheese sandwiches for her and shares his best advice. Geena also meets a beautiful, anxious lady and a deceitful, overly friendly centaur and is followed by large, frightening crows in this historic fantasy featuring a famous ghost, or is he a ghost?
