M OR F?<br />
“Marcus and Frannie are “brain twins,”<br />
best friends each looking for romance.<br />
Frannie thinks she has found just the<br />
person in Jeff, but she’s much too shy<br />
and insecure to send him an e-mail.<br />
Marcus, on the other hand, has no problem<br />
finding the right words to keep Jeff<br />
interested, which he discovers when he<br />
impersonates Frannie. This is a creative,<br />
funny romance, written with style and<br />
sophistication. …It’s a classic tale of<br />
mistaken identity and inaccurate assumptions,<br />
filled with twists of plot that will<br />
tantalize and please teen readers…sets a<br />
high bar for future teen novels featuring<br />
gay characters.” —Publishers Weekly<br />

PAULSEN, GARY<br />
THE FOXMAN<br />
No one knows the Foxman is even<br />
there until Carl and his cousin stumble<br />
upon his shack deep in the woods. He<br />
doesn’t say his name or show his face—it<br />
is hidden behind a mask. Carl is happy<br />
to leave the next day, having seen the<br />
Foxman’s hideously mutilated face. But<br />
his cousin will come back to learn some<br />
of the Foxman’s sure instinct for the wild<br />
and why he has decided to hide away<br />
from mankind.<br />

POPCORN DAYS AND<br />
BUTTERMILk NIGHTS<br />
Although Carley would rather be anywhere<br />
but here, a poverty-stricken Minnesota<br />
farm town, he realizes that staying<br />
with his uncle’s family is better than<br />
reform school—where he was heading.<br />
“Paulsen has written a beautiful vignette<br />
of farm life in the 1940’s.”<br />

TILTAWHIRL JOHN<br />
His uncle wanted him to stay home and<br />
work the farm, but the boy knew there<br />
was a world out there he had to see. Yet<br />
being a runaway meant he was outside<br />
the law—fair game for anyone to use.<br />
That’s how he got caught on the farm<br />
gang, caught and almost killed. It was<br />
Tiltawhirl John who saved him, taught<br />
him how to be a carnie, to run the<br />
traveling show scams, and to keep a step<br />
ahead of the suckers.<br />

PAUSEWANG, GUDRUN<br />
THE FINAL JOURNEY<br />
It is wartime. Eleven-year-old Alice is on<br />
a train with no seats, no lights, no sanitary<br />
facilities. Her parents and her grandmother<br />
are missing, and Alice doesn’t<br />
know where she is going. Maybe she will<br />
get to play outside again, maybe she will<br />
see her parents. But as the train rolls on,<br />
Alice begins to realize that just when you<br />
think things can’t possibly get any worse,<br />
they do. “No reader will be immune to<br />
the plight of these people, powerless in<br />
the face of overwhelming evil.”<br />
