Everyone thinks they know Libby Strout, the girl once dubbed 'America's Fattest Teen'. But no one's taken the time to look past her weight to get to see who she really is. Since her mum's death, she's been picking up the pieces in the privacy of her home, dealing with her heartbroken father and her own grief. Now, Libby's ready: for high school, for new friends, for love, and for EVERY POSSIBILITY LIFE HAS TO OFFER. I know the part I want to play here at MVB High. I want to be the girl who can do anything.Everyone thinks they know Jack Masselin too. Yes, he's got swagger, but he's also mastered the art of fitting in. What no one knows is that Jack has a secret: he can't recognize faces. Even his own brothers are strangers to him. He's the guy who can re-engineer and rebuild anything, but he can't understand what's going on with the inner workings of his own brain. So he tells himself to play it cool: Be charming. Be hilarious. Don't get too close to anyone.Until he meets Libby. When the two get tangled up in a cruel high school game which lands them in group counseling, Libby and Jack are both angry, and then surprised. Because the more time they spend together, the less alone they feel. Because sometimes when you meet someone, it changes the world - theirs and yours.

Reflections
The second edition of Reflections, an anthology of prose pieces, explores the myriad forms this genre has taken over the centuries, from Francis Bacon's 'On Studies', which explores the virtues of reading, to Charles Lamb's 'Dream Children: A Reverie', an imaginative rendering of the author's fancies. The new edition also includes the 1957 Nobel Banquet Speech of the French writer Albert Camus. Speaking in the aftermath of the Second World War, Camus had stressed on the writer's duty to use his craft in the service of those who fight for freedom.A prescribed textbook for the B.A. English and Communicative English as well as the B.A. English Language and Literature programmes of the University of Kerala, each essay in Reflections includes an introduction about the author, a summary, detailed annotations and questions.The collection is a mix of the serious and the light-hearted. Students will discover that Joseph Addison's 'Sir Roger at the Assizes', though written more than 300 years ago, can still raise a smile, while the extracts from The Diary of Anne Frank will throw light on the indomitable spirit of a young girl living through the horrors of the Holocaust.

People think that when you want to change your life, you need to think big. But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way.

He uncovers a handful of simple life hacks (the forgotten art of Habit Stacking, the unexpected power of the Two Minute Rule, or the trick to entering the Goldilocks Zone), and delves into cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience to explain why they matter. Along the way, he tells inspiring stories of Olympic gold medalists, leading CEOs, and distinguished scientists who have used the science of tiny habits to stay productive, motivated, and happy.These small changes will have a revolutionary effect on your career, your relationships, and your life.
