A team of scientists headed by none other than Doctor Frankenstein create a tender-hearted monster which a group of nosy children find in the school lab. Special features include: a picture dictionary at the beginning of each chapter, activities in each of the four language skills, a crossword, a rap chant, a recording of the text and additional listening activities.
Whoever thought that starting high school would be so exciting? A comet and a constellation have crossed paths, and space experts know this means the possibility of alien encounters! In a town near Boston, Jennifer Dale and her friends have some weird new teachers! Mr. Stone, the English teacher, is particularly strange...
Is it fact or fiction? Special effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman take urban legends and put them to the scientific test. From surviving a plane crash to training a goldfish, the MythBusters team designs an experiment to prove whether it's possible or another myth busted. The concepts presented in each video will have students looking at science in a whole new way.

The beautiful between (fiction novel)
Connelly Sternin, 16, moves through her New York City high school on cruise control. She is an average student who doesn't get into trouble, doesn't sit with the cool kids, and has a quiet home life. Connelly Sternin does not feel she is living the life of a fairy tale princess. But when she is alone in her New York city apartment, studying for the SATs or doing her homework, waiting for her mother to come home, she thinks she knows how Rapunzel felt: isolated, lonely, and betrayed. So when the handsome and charming prince of the school, Jeremy Cole, starts paying attention to her, Connelly believes her life may be changing for the better.
