 | Separate Sisters by Nancy Springer
Donni and Trisha are only a year apart, but they're as different as sisters can be. Donni jokes that her middle name is immature since she's always getting sent to the principal's office. As far as Donni is concerned, her sister is Trisha the Perfect--she's in all honors classes; she's Mom's little helper; and she never does anything wrong. Now that Mom and Dad have split up, there's even more keeping Donni and Trisha apart--Donni lives with their laid-back, uninvolved father, and Trisha stays with their super-organized, concerned mother. Since the divorce, things have gone seriously downhill. Donni's always pulled crazy stunts--like painting on a classmate during art class. But now she can't seem to control her rage. Then Donni makes a discovery about Trisha that sends her over the edge. Will she and Trisha ever find a way to bridge the gap between them? Or are they doomed to be separate sisters...forever?

 | Bright Red Scream by Armando Favazza, Marilee Strong
Self-mutilation is a behavior so shocking that it is almost never discussed. Yet estimates are that upwards of eight million Americans are chronic self-injurers. They are people who use knives, razor blades, or broken glass to cut themselves. Their numbers include the actor Johnny Depp, Girl Interrupted author Susanna Kaysen, and the late Princess Diana. Mistakenly viewed as suicide attempts or senseless masochism -- yen by many health professionals - cutting is actually a complex means of coping with emotional pain. Marilee Strong explores this hidden epidemic through case studies, startling new research from psychologists, trauma experts, and neuroscientists, and the heartbreaking insights of cutters themselves -- who range from troubled teenagers to middle-age professionals to grandparents. Strong explains what factors lead to self-mutilation, why cutting helps people manage overwhelming fear and anxiety, and how cutters can heal both their internal and external wounds and break the self-destructive cycle. A Bright Red Scream is a groundbreaking, essential resource for victims of self-mutilation, their families, teachers, doctors, and therapists. AUTHOR: Armando Favazza, Marilee Strong
