Facing bullying at home and her family being torn apart, Avalon anxiously waits with her best friend, Atticus, for the magical power they are supposed to inherit between their tenth and eleventh birthdays.

The infinity year of Avalon James

Avalon James and Atticus Brightwell have a secret--one that they aren't allowed to discuss with anyone. This secret is shared between two best friends. When you and your best friend turn ten years old magical things are said to happen. You both will receive some kind of magical power. It can be a power you can call on time and time again. Or it can be a power that comes once when you need it most. It's your Infinity Year and the possibilities are endless. The past year hasn't been great with her family being torn apart and bullying at school, so Avalon is depending on her magical ability to appear soon and help. With the clock ticking and her eleventh birthday approaching, which would be the end of her powers, Avalon's hopes are running high. Will she and Atticus get the powers they so desperately want and need? Dana Middleton's debut novel is a wonderfully enchanting story of the possibility of magic and the even more magical bond between two best friends.

Eighth-grader Jewel has all the usual middle school problems (crush on an unattainable boy, ex-BFF), but the thing that is making life a torment at school is the horn growing out of her forehead, which cannot be removed simply; she has two friends she can depend on and an invisible unicorn companion, but she would really like to be normal in time to read her essay in regional French speaking competition--and maybe she has found a doctor who can do it, but there will be consequences to face.

Not a Unicorn
