Asking for help is only the first step Jennifer can’t go on like this—binging, purging, starving, all while trying to appear like she’s got it all together. But when she finally confesses her secret to her parents and is hospitalized at the Samuel Tuke Center, her journey is only beginning. As Jennifer progresses through her treatment, she learns to recognize her relationships with food, friends, and family—and how each relationship is healthy or unhealthy. She has to learn to trust herself and her own instincts, but that’s easier than it sounds. She has to believe—after many years of being a believarexic. Using her trademark dark humor and powerful emotion, J. J. Johnson tells an inspiring story that is based on her own experience of being hospitalized for an eating disorder as a teenager. The innovative format—which tells Jennifer’s story through blank verse and prose, with changes in tense and voice, and uses forms, workbooks, and journal entries—mirrors the protagonist’s progress toward a healthy body and mind.

This is the story of Alvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca, the Spanish explorer and first European ever to set foot in some parts of the American Southwest. He and a handful of survivors of a doomed mission to explore Florida washed ashore on an island off the Texas coast in 1528. For eight years he wandered through what is now Texas, Mexico, and perhaps parts of Arizona and New Mexico before finding fellow Spaniards near the Pacific coast of Mexico in 1536. When he finally returned to Spain, he wrote a report of his travels, including observations of the different Native American tribes with which he became familiar.Young readers will relish de Vaca's tale of danger, suspense, hardship, ingenuity, and perseverance. He deserves a larger role in the history of the discovery and exploration of the New World, if for no other reason than he survive eight years in the desert Southwest and lived to tell the tale.
