Mia the Meek (Mia Fullerton #1)
by Eileen BoggessNovel About A Common Teen Concern: Shyness Mia the Meek, the first installment in the Mia Fullerton series, is a tweener/teenage comedy about a 14-year-old girl, Mia, who resolves to cease her meek and timid ways once she enters high school, and then encounters unexpected hurdles when she overcompensates for her previous weaknesses. Poised to begin her freshman year at St. Hilary’s High School, Mia Fullerton has set two goals for herself: first and foremost, to shed her long-held nickname of “Mia the Meek,” and then to soar confidently into a new social, academic, and family life. Unfortunately, her transformation is made all the harder by any number of factors, including her bratty little brother, and her own tendency to overdo things. The week before school starts, Mia wakes up to discover new neighbors have moved in next door. Forced by her mother to take them her special chocolate chip cookies, the very shy Mia encounters Tim, the family’s handsome yet seemingly arrogant oldest son. The Mia-Tim relationship that develops seems to be all about competition--everything from literature to the basketball court. School begins, and Mia immediately meets with all sorts of additional, unexpected challenges. Her new locker is right next to that of her arch-enemy, the ever-popular Cassie. In science lab, Mia’s paired with Tim, with whom she constantly bickers. Her mom, who, to make a point, willingly tells her students about little Mia in diapers, becomes her very own English teacher. And, before she knows it, Mia's best friend nominates her for class president. What’s worse, she’s running against Cassie! But when she learns that her crush, Jake Harris, has seconded her nomination, Mia agrees to run. After all, she reasons, what better way to emerge from her shell? As the year goes on, Mia’s misadventures multiply, as do her successes. She becomes class president--with the help of an improvised speech and an unconventional catch phrase. She begins to date Jake Harris. She helps lead her team in the Academic Quiz Bowl. And she tries to balance her new friends with her old ones. In the end, Mia emerges a far different person than when she set out, though it isn’t the person she had imagined that first day at St. Hilary’s. She’s a “Mia in progress,” learning from her mistakes and humorous successes, and welcoming her future. In Mia, author Eileen Boggess has created the best kind of modern female role model--the kind who sees most of her flaws and wants to change them; one who’s not only intelligent but athletic; and one who, while struggling with all the problems of girls her age, is valiantly trying to find her way through a very awkward time of life. Look for Mia the Melodramatic and additional books in the Mia series.

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.
