A new school year has started for Julia Gillian, and so far, it's not going very well. Her best friend, Bonwit Kellar, doesn't seem to want to be her best friend anymore. Learning to play trumpet, once Julia Gillian's heart's desire, is much more difficult than it looks. And the school has hired an interim lunch monitor, the all-too-strict Mr. Wintz. As Julia Gillian's music teacher would say, "Where is the joy?". Thankfully, Julia Gillian soon learns that sharing problems is often the only way to solve them, and that life is only as complicated-or joyful-as we want it to be.

Aji's Quest is the true story of a young Quoll who wants to become a great master of the game of Go. Enthusiastic, cheeky, a little impatient, but certainly not hindered by any prior knowledge, Aji allows himself to be sent by Master Tenuki on a quest to the top of mountain Moyo. Getting there is not so easy, though. Aji must cross dangerous cliffs, conquer the guardians of the mountain, and face dangers and obstacles at every turn. Beware the wrath of the clams! Aji's Quest is fast-paced, seemingly chaotic, drawn entirely in style with the written story. Basic knowledge of go is recommended to better enjoy the book.

"Jessica Teich's understanding of trauma is the infallible authority upon which her tale rests. But the delicacy and nuance with which she renders this story is that of a poet." -- Meryl Streep Jessica Teich was among the first wave of women to expose Hollywood's culture of harassment and abuse. Her memoir, The Future Tense of Joy, tells the inspiring story of her own recovery from trauma, empowering other victims to move past silence and shame toward help, healing, and hope. Teich writes openly, courageously, of the challenges facing so many survivors: to feel safe, to find love, to nurture optimism and resilience, and to reclaim the sense of connection -- of belonging -- that defines us as human beings. Kirkus called The Future Tense of Joy "an honest, compassionate memoir about shaking off personal demons." Library Journal said, "Teich looks at motherhood, depression, the effect of damaging relationships, and the challenges placed on successful, driven women. She does so with grace and openness, even while exploring painful parts of her past." (starred review) The Future Tense of Joy belongs with classics of the genre-from Eat, Pray, Love and The Glass Castle to Wild-that celebrate the triumph of truth-telling and the redeeming power of love. Lyrical, funny and brave, Teich's book speaks to anyone eager to emerge from the long shadow of betrayal to find love, liberation, and joy.

Joy Quest is about reclaiming who you are and who you wish to be. Joy Quest is about realigning with what you think, feel, believe, and feel clear about it. Joy Quest is about creating, manifesting the life of happiness, ease, and excitement that you desire. Joy Quest is feeling comfortable in your own skin, knowing what you want, and enjoying the journey of getting there. A quest is open-ended. You have not set an ending destination. A quest is a path of discovery where your direction will change slightly with new information discovered. A quest is a spiritual journey of awakening and alignment with you really are. A quest is a discovery of purpose and passion. Joy Quest is a starting point. Here we discover the direction you wish to go. We begin to walk the path that leads to the stream that flows to your desires-the path of least resistance. Joy Quest is a personal expedition. No one else can tell you which way to go. This path is a discovery by you and for you. What you want and what makes you happy is quite different than what I want and what makes me happy.
