DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Linnet waited with her eyes closed for the door to open and her mother to peek in. Waited for her to touch Linnet's shoulder blades lightly...Linnet knew that touch in her bones, as if it had happened every night of her life. An imprint, a memory of the skin itself." So begins this startling first novel about an eleven-year-old girl who suddenly begins to grow wings -- wings with soft auburn feathers, which only at first can be hidden with long hair and loose clothes. Funny, sad, and hopeful, this remarkable story captures a girl's shock at feeling alone in life, as it follows her journey to answer a most important question: how can a girl with wings ever fit into the world?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this "unforgettable" novel for fans of Ibi Zoboi and Erika L. Sánchez (SLJ, starred review), two sisters in Nigeria are separated—one in the lap of luxury, the other fighting for a chance to thrive—in this award-winning novel where the line between family and foe is blurred. Sisters Cheta and Zam couldn’t be more different. Cheta, sharp-tongued and stubborn, never shies away from conflict—either at school or at home, where her mother fires abuse at her. Timid Zam escapes most of her mother’s anger, skating under the radar and avoiding her sister whenever possible. In a turn of good fortune, Zam is invited to live with her aunt’s family in the lap of luxury. Jealous, Cheta also leaves home, but to a harder existence that will drive her to terrible decisions. When the sisters are reunited, Zam alone will recognize just how far Cheta has fallen—and Cheta’s fate will rest in Zam’s hands. Debut author Rimma Onoseta deftly explores classism, colorism, cycles of abuse, how loyalty doesn’t always come attached to love, and the messy truths that sometimes, family is not a source of comfort, and that morality is all shades of grey.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Growing your wings fully could happen quickly; however, taking flight doesn't always occur in an instant. . . . But every worthwhile dream is worth the effort, the pain, the heartache of setbacks and failures, and the time invested. I urge you to believe that you can fly. You will begin to experience the ecstasy of being free, totally free, to soar to new heights!" Sue Augustine What, exactly, are wings, and why are they so important? As Sue Augustine tells us, wings are important because they provide a Power of Purpose. They allow women to navigate the currents of the winds of life and avoid the barriers and obstacles in it. WINGS are, in fact, W orth, I nsight, N urturing, G oals, and S trategies. In order to live a happy, productive life, a woman needs to be able to stretch her wings and fly. Sue Augustine provides women everywhere with a guide to a life with no barriers a life of magnificent possibilities.
