A beautiful—and necessary—story about teen mental health.In the gut-punching but uplifting tradition of Adam Silvera and Kathleen Glasgow comes a queer coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of the Florida mangroves."Raw and compassionate.” —Kirkus, starred reviewHow do you face your fears when everything is terrifying?Fifteen-year-old Brynn can’t stop thinking about death. Her intrusive thoughts and severe anxiety leave her feeling helpless—and hopeless. So after her mom interprets one of Brynn’s blog posts as a suicide note, she takes extreme measures, confiscating Brynn’s phone, blocking her Internet access, and banishing her to stay with her father who lives “off the grid” on a houseboat in the Florida mangroves. Isolated from her online friends—her only friends—Brynn resigns herself to a summer of mind-numbing boredom and loneliness… until Skylar appears. Skylar is everything Brynn isn’t—sultry, athletic, and confident. Yet Brynn feels at home around this fearless girl who pushes her to try new things and makes her belly flutter with nerves that have nothing to do with anxiety. When Brynn discovers that Skylar is trapped in the bayou and can’t tell her why, she resolves to free her new crush from the dark waters, even if it means confronting all of her worst fears.Through Brynn's funny, awkward, and sincere narration, The Immeasurable Depth of You explores the ways mental illness can impact a life by centering a character who is learning (sometimes messily) to accept all parts of herself.

In Scary Cat 4, Pipa and her friends explore a Spooky house. There are no supernatural threats. Rather, the air of mystery is what feeds the infantile fears of the characters. At first, Pipa's friends are hyper focused on a so called "Haunted Doll". The doll apparently has the ability to speak. The initial investigations show the doll not doing anything. While investigating the doll, a bug lands close to Pipa's face. This triggers Pipa's bug phobia. So, she naturally runs deeper into the spooky house. The book then becomes a hide and seek game. The readers and Pipa's friends are tasked with finding where Scary Cat is hiding. The book teaches children to use their powers of observation and to think critically. Just because someone tells you that a place is haunted by ghosts, you shouldn't believe them. Just because a doll can talk, one shouldn't imminently think ghosts are involved. Talking dolls are real, and they talk because they have a robotic component that gives them the ability to speak. I hope you find Pipa's next Scary adventure amusing and humorous.
