EDISON MIDDLE SCHOOL LIBRARY
Book of the Week
Jocelyn and Alex have always been best friends and their annual joint family vacation to the northwoods of Wisconsin has always been the highlight of their summers. But during the summer before eighth grade, Alex doesn't really want to be friends with Jocelyn anymore. Jocelyn doesn't quite know why, but she's hoping their vacation will rekindle their friendship. But when something goes wrong during a rafting trip, the two girls find themselves alone and lost in the woods. Wearing just swimsuits and water shoes and with only the contents of a wet backpack, they must face flies, black bears, poison ivy, and hypothermia, as well as their broken friendship if they want to make it out of the woods.

PUZZLE OF THE WEEKThis week's question: You are driving a school bus. The bus is empty when you begin your route. At the first stop, 4 people get on. At the second stop, 8 people get on and 2 get off. At the third stop, 3 people get off and 4 get on. What color are the bus driver’s eyes?
Last week's question:
A police officer is driving on the highway and notices a truck driver going in the wrong direction. Instead of pulling him over, the police officer ignores him and drives on. Why would he ignore him? Last week's answer:
The truck driver was walking on the side of the road, not driving. Therefore, the police officer had no reason to pull him over. Congratulations to the following people that got it right!
Danica, Sophia, Robyn, Macie, and Kera

Fat girls and boys and nonbinary teens are: friends who lift each other up, heroes who rescue themselves, big bodies in space, intellects taking up space, and bodies looking and feeling beautiful. They express themselves through fashion, sports and other physical pursuits, through food, and music, and art. They are flirting and falling in love. They are loving to themselves and one another. With stories that feature fat main characters starring in a multitude of settings, and written by authors who live these lives too, this is truly a unique collection that shows fat young people the representation they deserve.
