The seven worst words ever spoken came out of Brittany Gregory's mom's mouth at breakfast, "I signed you up for math tutoring." Sure, she probably needs it (probably nothing, she'll fail without it), but the thought of having to stay in that school longer than she had to every day makes her sick. It's not the school's fault... just the few jerks inside.Brittany's tutor is none other than Matt Taylor, senior quarterback-- all around hottie. At first, she's shy around him because, hello, Matt Taylor! But as he shows more and more unexpected kindness toward her, Brittany softens around him.Unfortunately for Brittany, Matt's former girlfriend, the beautifully wicked Kendra Moses, has tormented Britt since eighth grade about her weight. In an unusual moment of brains, Kendra realizes Brittany's initials spell B.I.G.-- a hilarious (to the cheerleader) irony since Brittany isn't the smallest girl at school. With the Red Ball (Valentine's Dance) approaching, Brittany has to decide if her growing feelings for Matt are real, or if he's secretly been playing a part in Kendra's game all along.

In Beautiful Is Black, the author focuses on the mental effects on being bullied as a child.Bullies are becoming more common with each year, and more children are turning to suicide as a response to emotions and feelings that they do not understand how to control. Children who are different in any way—from looks to religious beliefs—suffer the most; especially those are biracial or multiracial. It can be life-changing to suffer from bullying during the formative years, especially in elementary school and/or high school. Instead of taking a negative approach to teaching this delicate lesson, consider using a different method that works far better for young people ages six to ten. The book focuses on an elementary age girl, but the look and feel of the book make it a great choice even for older children and high school students.
