Abandoned by her mom as a small child, she's spent most of her life in and out of foster homes.Starting a new school is never easy, but she's just hoping to get through the day completely unnoticed--and preferably without a trip to the principal's office. The last thing she expects is to bump into the one person from her past that she thought she had a real connection to. Only it's not the reunion she dreamed it would be, because he seems to have completely forgotten all about her.-If You Knew Me (and Other Silent Musings) by Mary Crawford-Sadie Anderson used to being considered different and a little strange.

Maybe she should just focus on her art and ignore everything else.Elijah Fisher has gone to the same school with the same friends since preschool.

When cuss words fly of your mouth without warning, it's difficult to make friends.Why can the new girl in class see him when everyone else looks away? What would she think if she really knew him?-What If? by Heather Helms-Even though Liz has moved nine times, she still manages to keep up her grades and never has a problem making friends.

Then the unexpected happened that change my life. That day I, Rex Woodson, lost myself. Consumed by darkness, one person showed up. She showed me a new path, but after everything I had gone through, would I be able to persevere?-Cross My Heart by Cheryl Van Eck-Mario Vasquez knows how the world views him. He's a punk, a loser, a Mexican thug headed for trouble. But he can't, no, he won't let that discourage him. His world might be precariously balanced, but he is determined to fight his way out.
