by Jessica LeaderMarina is mean. Sachi is nice. Marina is Barney's. Sachi is Burlington Coat Factory. It's bad enough they're forced to coexist in their middle-school's high-profile video elective--but now they're being forced to work together on the big semester project. Marina's objective? Out her wannabe BFF as a fashion victim to the entire middle school. Sachi's objective? Prove that she's not just the smiley class pencil-lender and broaden her classmates' cultural horizons. Work together in harmony? Yeah, that would be a "no." How can Sachi film something meaningful, and Marina, something fabulous, if they're yoked to each other?

Nice Work, Franklin!
by Suzanne Tripp JurmainAs one of our most inspirational and determined presidents, Franklin Roosevelt overcame his disability to lead the country out of the Great Depression.Franklin Roosevelt idolized his cousin Teddy Roosevelt. He started wearing eyeglasses like Teddy, he spoke like Teddy, and he held the same public offices as Teddy. But then one day his life changed—he got sick. He developed polio and he could no longer walk. But Franklin also had Teddy&’s determination, so after physical therapy and hard work, he ran for governor of New York and won. Then a different kind of sickness, the Great Depression, spread across the country: Banks were closing, and thousands lost their jobs. Franklin said that if you have a problem, solve it. If one solution doesn&’t work, try another but above all TRY SOMETHING. So Franklin ran for president, and on Inauguration Day, he made it clear that together they would conquer this sickness. He got to work creating jobs and slowly America started getting better. Suzanne Tripp Jurmain and Larry Day of George Did It and Worst of Friends fame are teamed up again to tell the story of how our only disabled president saved himself and then saved the country.
