Calling the moon : 16 period stories from BIPOC authors / by Salazar, Aida.; Méndez, Yamile Saied.;
For Angela, it came on the basketball court--while playing on the boys' team. For Penny, it came on a school field trip to the lake (making for some cringeworthy moments of humor). And to Layla's disappointment, it came at the start of her first fasting Ramadan, meaning that she won't be able to fast after all. Whether it spurs silence or celebration, whether the subjects are well prepared or totally in the dark, the young people in these sixteen stories find that getting a period not only brings change to their bodies, it also brings joy, sorrow, self-discovery, and yes, sometimes even gifts.

Cherish Farrah : a novel / by Morrow, Bethany C.,author.;
"Seventeen-year-old Farrah Turner is one of two Black girls in her country club community, and the only one with Black parents. Her best friend, Cherish Whitman, adopted by a wealthy white family, is something Farrah likes to call WGS--White Girl Spoiled. With Brianne and Jerry Whitman as parents, Cherish is given the kind of adoration and coddling that even upper-class Black parents can't seem to afford--and it creates a dissonance in her best friend that Farrah can exploit. When her own family is unexpectedly confronted with foreclosure, the calculating Farrah is determined to reassert the control she's convinced she's always had over her life by staying with Cherish, the only person she loves--even when she hates her. A troubled Farrah manipulates her way further into the Whitman family but the longer she stays, the more her own parents suggest that something is wrong in the Whitman house. She might trust them--if they didn't think something was wrong with Farrah, too. As strange things start happening at the Whitman household--debilitating illnesses, upsetting fever dreams, an inexplicable tension with Cherish's hothead boyfriend, and a strange journal that seems to keep track of what is happening to Farrah--it's nothing she can't handle. But soon everything begins to unravel when the Whitmans invite Farrah closer, and it's anyone's guess who is really in control. Told in Farrah's chilling, unforgettable voice and weaving in searing commentary on race and class, this slow-burn social horror will keep you on the edge of your seat until the last page"--

The return of Ellie Black : a novel / by Jean, Emiko,author.;
It's been twenty years since Detective Chelsey Calhoun's sister vanished when they were teenagers, and ever since she's been searching: for signs, for closure, for other missing girls. But happy endings are rare in Chelsey's line of work. Then a glimmer: local teenager Ellie Black, who disappeared without a trace two years earlier, has been found alive in the woods of Washington State. But something is not right with Ellie. She won't say where she's been, or who she's protecting, and it's up to Chelsey to find the answers. She needs to get to the bottom of what happened to Ellie: for herself, and for the memory of her sister, but mostly for the next girl who could be taken--and who, unlike Ellie, might never return.

But for Hannah Mills and C.J. Adams the myth would become as real as the wild mountain range the wraith stallion called home. Hannah and her father Frank arrive at Mustang Matty Steadman's Bear Mountain Ranch, a spread which runs parallel to the Utah Nevada border. Hannah has come west to photograph the famous wild horses found on Matty's ranch. C.J. is from the neighboring ranch. Although C.J. is put off by Mattie's request to watch Hannah, she reluctantly agrees to show her around. The girls become instant friends and they discover that the wild horses are disappearing from the range at an alarming rate. Novak is a wealthy, mysterious stranger, who appears to be the instigator of a sinister plot to steal all the mountain mustangs. While taking photographs of the wild herd one afternoon, the two girls happen upon the mysterious 'Wild Stallion.' The girls rush home to tell Matty and her ranch hands, Dallas and Ty Brody, about their discovery. Matty cautions all of them not to tell anyone about the black stallion because unscrupulous mustangers would want the rare stallion and would stop at nothing to get him.Canadian Home Video Rating: G.DVD, widescreen presentation ; Dolby digital ; NTSC.
