Ali McKenna is tired of being petite and living in the shadows cast by her taller, curvier, and more interesting sisters, Millie the Exotic and D’asia the Genius. Both, by virtue of their existence, serve to make Ali’s life more trouble than it’s worth. Now that Ali is graduating from the 8th grade, she is excited for the opportunity to make a name for herself in high school. All she needs to accomplish this is an invite to her nemesis Demitry Haggardy’s end of summer kickback and a little uninterrupted time with heartthrob Gage Campbell, and she’s certain the rest will fall in place.
But Ali couldn’t have been more wrong! An ill-timed parent-teacher conference leading to D’asia’s promotion to Advanced Placement courses at Wilma Rudolph High is only the beginning of her troubles. Suddenly younger sister,“Dull D’asia,” who made Ali’s life as the only petite member of their robust family slightly bearable, has started her period, had a growth spurt, and begun developing at a seemingly accelerated rate. Now the freshman year that Ali dreamed about is quickly fading into non-existence. She must find a way to stand apart from her siblings and keep Demitry Haggardy off her back while getting Gage Campbell to finally take notice. Desperate, she devises a plan to gain weight – and in all the right places. Unfortunately for Ali, her body has a little trouble determining what those places are!

Olivia: Rebirth of the Anointed (Book 1)
SKU: 978-0972124669
For decades, the children of the planet Marieux were told
tales of the birth of a savior that would free their world from
the clutches of the heartless organization that controlled it for
years. Military rule, unjust laws, and recruitment of women for the purpose of serving the needs of their oppressor, exemplified the society into which they were born. But with each passing year, as civilization was further plunged into the depths of despair, it became even less conceivable that the prophecy of the Anointed Daughter of the Marinites was true.
Seventeen-year-old Olivia Kalaath, has heard this story since childhood and rejected it for just as long, despite at times being accused of being this prophecy come reality. After all, she has the golden skin tone and the extraordinary instincts synonymous with the mythical figure. Either way, being different has its price. In order to keep herself and her mother below the Shadow Realm Allegiance's radar, she practices the age-old art of concealing, a survival technique she learned as a child. But when her best friend goes missing, Olivia must decide what she believes in once and for all.
