Different Us - Paperback

by Katryna King Evans (Author)

Different Us!: Jr. High School! This book features four Maliyah, Jacob, Sarah, and Samson who have struggled through their fifth-grade year, dealing with teasing and bullying, and often referred to by the mean kids in primary school as the odd squad. They made a pact that whatever they go through, they will stick together and put their faith in a Higher Power. This agreement helped them transition into junior high school in a way that none of them could have ever possibly imagined. From Maliyah's path to self-acceptance to Samson's internal peace that he's achieved from others' issues with his dreadlocked hair and being overweight, they use the opposition to become stepping-stones. Junior high school awaits the friends...but not more than the friends await junior high school because fears are faced head-on and dreams finally start to be realized.
