Paperback. Condición: Good. If you're a girl, you should strive to look like the model on the cover of a magazine. If you're a boy, you should play sports and be good at them. If you're smart, you should immediately go to college after high school, and get a job that makes you rich. Above all, be normal.Right? Wrong, say 35 leading middle grade and young adult authors. Growing up is challenging enough; it doesn't have to be complicated by convoluted, outdated, or even cruel rules, both spoken and unspoken. Parents, peers, teachers, the media, and the rest of society sometimes have impossible expectations of teenagers. These restrictions can limit creativity, break spirits, and demand that teens sacrifice personality for popularity. In these personal, funny, moving, and poignant essays, Kathryn Erskine (Mockingbird), Matthew Quick (The Silver Linings Playbook), Gary D. Schmidt (The Wednesday Wars), Sara Zarr (Story of a Girl), and many others share anecdotes and lessons learned from their own lives in order to show you that some rules just beg to be broken.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. The inspiring follow-up to Fantastic Failures brings together even more true stories of remarkable people who faced mistakes, rejection, and setbacks--and learned, adapted, and kept going--in this engaging celebration of resilience, perseverance, and the power of trying again. Everyone makes mistakes--even the people we admire most. Young people face plenty of pressure to succeed, fit in, and get things right the first time. But mistakes and setbacks aren't signs that you should give up--they're opportunities to learn, adapt, and keep going. In More Fantastic Failures, educator Luke Reynolds returns with another inspiring collection of true stories showing young readers that failure is a natural part of learning, growing, and discovering what they're capable of.

Along the way, Reynolds explores scientists and other innovators whose mistakes, failed experiments, and unexpected results led to important discoveries, reminding readers that sometimes getting something "wrong" can open the door to something entirely new.
