Becoming A Butterfly

Fang Is King

While doing research for his term paper at the public library, Joel meets a mysterious old man named Danaus who has a unique way of looking at the world. Joel's best friend Jay does not trust Danaus, but Joel has a suspicion that the things Danaus says might not be as crazy as they sound. For the next two weeks Joel secretly visits Danaus and begins to learn how small changes in his attitude and behavior can have a huge impact on his family and friends. It's not long before Joel realizes he's no longer feeling so angered by his parents' odd behaviors, and Mickey, Joel's rival in the school-wide competition to collect a complete set of Al-Mod trading cards, suddenly doesn't seem quite so annoying. But in the end questions remain. Will Danaus' lessons help Joel teach Jay how to deal with his abusive father? And can anything Danaus says ever help Joel feel more confident around Kali, his would-be girlfriend?Vacation took a curious turn for Dexter when he discovered he had a very unusual relationship with Martin Luther King. Dexter couldn't tell his mother, because she was too preoccupied trying to get a promotion. His aunt Nina might've been sympathetic, but she had a drinking problem. His cousin Alexis was definitely not an option either. She was too busy teasing him about carrying around a big stuffed dog named Fang. But Dexter had received Fang the day his dad died and had no intentions of ever getting rid of his furry best friend. Although he was very smart, there were some things that Dexter simply didn't understand. Why was Mr. Hummel so intent for him to visit the top of the Gateway Arch? How could someone as hateful and selfish as Alexis possibly care for a new baby? And why was Ralph being so friendly to him? As summer wore on, Dexter eventually learned the answers to these questions and began to understand how to apply Martin Luther King's teachings to his own life.
