A new middle-grade tale from critically acclaimed, award-winning author Kristin Levine about facing your fears, set in Vienna during the Bosnian genocide. Most twelve-year-olds would be excited to fly to Austria to see their dad for the summer but then Becca is not most twelve-year-olds. Suffering from severe anxiety, she fears that the metal detectors at the airport will give her cancer and the long international flight will leave her with blood clots. Luckily, she's packed her Doomsday Journal, the one thing that always seems to help. By writing down her fears and what to do if the worst happens, Becca can get by without (many) panic attacks. Routines and plans help Becca cope but living in a new country is full of the unexpected--including Becca's companions for the summer. Like Felix, the short and bookish son of Becca's dad's new girlfriend. Or Sara, the nineteen-year-old Bosnian refugee tasked with watching the two of them for the summer. As Becca explores Vienna and becomes close to her new friends, she soon learns she is not alone in her fears. What matters most is what you do when faced with them.

What does the gospel say about your fears? What does it say about the irrational ones, like sinkholes in the Target parking lot? How does it speak to the rational ones, like pet scan predictions? And does the gospel have a word for the fears you feel you'll have for life, like the possibility of losing the one you love most? Growing up in the green room of SNL, being born to a fire-eater and adopted by a SWAT cop, having internal organs explode, and adopting a deaf girl from China, Scarlet Hiltibidal has been given some strange life experiences—and lived in fear through most of them. But life changed for Scarlet when she learned to hold the gospel up to her fears. She realized that though she can't fix herself or protect herself, Jesus walked into this broken, sad, scary place to rescue, love, and cast out her—and your—fear. Seeing life in light of the cross will help you avoid fear, overcome fear when you can’t avoid it, and live beyond fear when you don’t overcome it. You don't have to be afraid of all the things.
Discusses the basic psychological principles of interpersonal relationships.
Is it too much to ask that the world be a safer place than it was a hundred years ago? Obviously so. The safer tomorrow of our dreams is mad, bad, and dangerous.

I'm Afraid, You're Afraid: 448 Things to Fear and Why is a textbook of life's hazards - from Abstinence to Zippers, Martinis to Yard Sales. It's all here. Things you mustn't touch, places to flee, creatures and people to avoid. Be afraid, be very afraid, but don't forget to laugh, especially at your fears. BABY-FACED BOYS Looks deceive. Baby-faced boys are more likely to be delinquent and commit more crimes than their less cherubic-looking pals, divulges a recent study that suggest that the sweet-appearing juvies intentionally try to derail their submissive image by acting naughty, not nice. DARK-COLORED CLOTHES Seeking one human, M/F, S/M/D, juicy, no DDT; reply to Stagnant Pool 29. Not to get personal, but you're likely to be bitten by smitten mosquitoes if you insist on wearing dark-colored clothes that advertise what a tasty Goth you are. JERKY The can-be-lethal E.coli bacteria has been found in venison jerky. An Oregon outbreak of food poisoning was traced to the hides of deer slaughtered by hunters. Call it Bambi's revenge. PARAKEETS Sounds a might peckish but a plumed pet can make you sick as a dog. Psittacosis, a disease transmitted to humans from birds of the parrot family, is spread by inhaling bird-dropping dust, which can remain infectious for weeks. Now you know what the caged bird flings. PICKING YOUR NOSE The indecorous practice of nosepicking can be calamitous. If a ransacking finger gouges the mucous membranes of your nasal passage, it might bring on an infection that could travel to your brain and cause a blood clot. Use a hankie, not your pinkie. REFRIGERATOR MAGNETS Fridge magnets attract trouble. Little kids swallow them; adults get facial cuts and eye lacerations after sideswiping the appliance decorations. Ice the kitsch. STUFFED ANIMALS House mites often infect cuddly toys. The scavenging little buggers might decide to abandon Winnie the Pooh to take refuge on your flaky, oh-so-tasty scalp. Nesting in your hair, the mites deposit poop proteins and, if you're prone to asthma, the fecal pellets could set off an attack. Shampoo your beanie, baby. YO-YOS Dentists are reeling about the tooth-cracking dangers of yo-yos, which can whirl as fast as 11,000 rpm. Parents, mind dentists' warning: For very young, uncoordinated children, no yo-yo, ma.

Finalist for the 2019 Lambda Literary Award, Transgender Nonfiction Nominated for the 2019 Forest of Reading Evergreen Award Winner of the 2018 Alcuin Society Awards for Excellence in Book Design – Prose Non-Fiction "Cultural rocket fuel." --Vanity Fair "Emotional and painful but also layered with humour, I'm Afraid of Men will widen your lens on gender and challenge you to do better. This challenge is a necessary one--one we must all take up. It is a gift to dive into Vivek's heart and mind." --Rupi Kaur, bestselling author of The Sun and Her Flowers and Milk and Honey A trans artist explores how masculinity was imposed on her as a boy and continues to haunt her as a girl--and how we might reimagine gender for the twenty-first century. Vivek Shraya has reason to be afraid. Throughout her life she's endured acts of cruelty and aggression for being too feminine as a boy and not feminine enough as a girl. In order to survive childhood, she had to learn to convincingly perform masculinity. As an adult, she makes daily compromises to steel herself against everything from verbal attacks to heartbreak. Now, with raw honesty, Shraya delivers an important record of the cumulative damage caused by misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia, releasing trauma from a body that has always refused to assimilate. I'm Afraid of Men is a journey from camouflage to a riot of colour and a blueprint for how we might cherish all that makes us different and conquer all that makes us afraid.
Simon Lester Henry Strauss is not in the least afraid of any haunted house, but there is something else that terrifies him.
