Books with title Across The Stream

Just because the (hot) boy across the street saved me from a couple of embarrassing moments lately doesn’t mean I forgive him for the past four years. Four years of him acting like I don’t exist, except when he needs to make a joke out of someone: me. Four years of acting like we hadn’t been best friends once, that is until he cut me out of his life to hang out with the popular crowd. No way. I’m not going to forgive him for that stuff. But then from out of nowhere he kisses me. Ugh! Now I can’t get him and his steamy kiss out of my head. I still haven’t forgiven him—I won’t do it—but now I DREAM about him. Constantly. And it’s no longer the dreams where I get to toss him out a window. No, these involve kissing. And panting. And whispering “I love you.” Shoot. Me. Now.This book is told in two parts. (They are both in this book.) The other part of the story is about the 17-year-old girl’s best friend, Stormy, who is having guy troubles of her own.Stormy’s tale: A hot tough hockey player at our high school left me a steak. A STEAK!! He also left a (bizarrely sweet) bewildering note with it. It said, “This is juicy and well-done … just like your performance tonight.” (Don’t get too excited about that, my “performance” was in the sad school play.) Later, he told me he was being romantic with the steak. He was only teasing, but he said, “What? I heard girls like food for gifts—I was being romantic.” Like I said, he was only teasing. Sadly, he’s ALWAYS teasing me. So it bites that I’m falling for the guy, but I am. Hard. Because he’s just the way I like my steak—hot, tender and delicious. Plus, Mmmm, that boy can kiss!SUMMARY: The tough hockey player at school has it bad for sweet, shy Stormy. Can he show her that he can be sweet too?—tender even?

When Emily discovers an enchanted land in the forest, it changes her lonely life forever. Emily never met her father, her angry mother drinks too much, and try as she might to take care of herself, the other kids mock her unruly hair and old clothes. When Emily meets a group of bullies who taunt the fact that she has no one to love her, Emily runs into the woods and cries like she’s never cried before. She sobs so hard that her pain comes flowing out of her mouth in a dark ghostly apparition called a Glimmer. As the Glimmer wafts over a stream, Emily, both horrified and shaken, looks up to see a little cat with the sweetest rosebud face staring at her. When Emily follows the cat to her home across the stream, she meets trees who speak by thrumming and animals who teach her about both love and courage.Emily learns that Destiny, one of the laws of Magic, drew her to this land. Darkness, an ancient evil force, feeds on Magic; leaving despair where there was once joy and beauty. Darkness threatens to destroy the enchanted land, where Emily has finally found love and belonging, as well as her own world. Emily travels to Darkness Edge, where the malicious force has taken the form of a writhing crater. It spews a deadly fog whose touch slowly bleeds life and Magic from its victims. Whole forests have been destroyed; for miles animals lay waiting for death from despair. Although the landscape becomes increasingly cold and forsaken, Emily is warmed by the tenderness of her traveling companions. Emily realizes that to save all that she holds dear, she must face the thing she fears the most; the Glimmer holding all her pain.The author has made available a detailed description of how to use The Land across the Stream to teach children how mindfulness can be used to achieve emotional regulation.
