Frizzy / by Ortega, Claribel A.; Bousamra, Rose.;
Marlene loves three things: books, Her cool Tía Ruby and hanging out with her best friend Camila. But according to her mother, Paola, the only thing she needs to focus on is school and "growing up." That means straightening her hair every weekend so she could have "presentable good hair." But Marlene hates being in the salon and doesn't understand why her curls are not considered pretty by those around her. With a few hiccups, a dash of embarrassment, and the much-needed help of Camila and Tía Ruby--she slowly starts a journey to learn to appreciate and proudly wear her curly hair.LSC

Araña and Spider-Man 2099 : dark tomorrow / by Segura, Alex,1980-author.;
"Araña is a Spider-Girl lost in time ... Miguel is a Spider-Man who's lost his way ... Together, they're our only hope. Araña. It means spider--and it also means Anya Corazon. She was a normal Brooklyn teenager with normal Brooklyn problems--until a few months ago, when she was gifted with amazing spiderlike abilities, from super-strength and heightened agility to web-slinging. A powerful mentor guided her on how best to use these new powers for good--until Anya lost him, just as she lost her mother, just as she's about to lose everything she knows. Nueva York. It is the future of New York City, the home of the Spider-Man of 2099, and where Anya finds herself stranded, tossed across the century. And Nueva York's Spider-Man, billionaire CEO Miguel O'Hara, is Araña's only hope of getting home. But Araña and Spider-Man are about to discover that the enemies they face have dark and powerful connections to both heroes--and that this unlikely team across time will need to save much more than each other ...
