The Magic Box, by Olga Cossi, Pelican Publishing Company, Inc
Mara Bennetti is one of Covello High School's star basketball players, and her team is vying for the coveted trophy in the state championship. But because her mother, a member of the school board, has introduced a school ban on athletes who smoke, Mara's chances of playing in the big game could be in jeopardy! An absorbing tale packed with fast-paced action on the courts and a deep understanding of youth's struggles and triumphs, Cossi's courageous book goes one-on-one with sports and health issues.
Reader's Reviews
I really like sports books, especially ones that deal with the serious issues all kids have to face. I could totally relate to all that Mara was going through with her friends, her basketball team, and her parents. I just couldn’t put the book down!

The Kids’ Yoga Book of Feelings, by Mary Humphrey / Photographs by Michael Frost, Marshall Cavendish Children’s Books
Yoga is an art that emphasizes a calm, happy state of being. Yoga helps to harmonize your feelings to achieve a more balanced way of living. Each of the poses described has an animal or familiar object linked to the feeling it expresses. In addition, thers an affirmation about the feeling being released. For example, as you assume the pose of the polar bear, you say, "I feel balanced and grounded," just as a polar bear stands firmly on a patch of ice. Come celebrate yoga with the kids in this book as they demonstrate twenty poses from the Butterfly to the Opossum.

I always stretch, stretch, stretch when I wake up in the morning. The exercises in this book are like that, but a lot more fun! Pose like a lion and let out a roar, then curl up like a puppy and rest. It's great fun and good exercise!

Time Remote, by Carl Sommer / Illustrated by Greg Budwine, Advance Publishing
Christopher has great dreams of becoming an inventor, but he dislikes anything requiring work. When he discovers his neighbor Dr. Finkle has invented a time remote, Christopher uses it to avoid schoolwork, wholesome food, and jobs he doesn’t like. The time remote sends him quickly through a life of avoiding problems, right into old age. Christopher finally realizes the misery of an easy life. Discovering a hidden button on his discarded remote, he fortunately gets a chance to start his life over. But this time Christopher eats properly and does his schoolwork.
Reader's Reviews
This book was really cool and even kind of scary! At first I thought it would be awesome to have a time remote that let you miss the stuff you didn’t like. But boy, Christopher sure ended up making a mess out of his life with that thing.
