Alli longs to be popular, but fate just keeps conspiring to make her totally uncool. Who else would be humiliated by a piece of her mom’s underwear stuck to her butt by static cling? Despite the fact that Alli is certain the universe is plotting against her, she does eventually break into the inner circle of seventh-grade cool.
But nothing is as she expected, and there’s ugliness lurking behind even the prettiest face. Alli bares it all to her journal as she figures out where she fits in and, most important of all, what it means to be a real friend.

MI6 forcibly recruit Alex and place him in a grueling SAS training camp, where he is the youngest and is treated as an outcast, before moving him into Sayle's factory. Alex discovers that Herod Sayle is planning to wipe out Britain's school children, through a lethal virus of smallpox, contained in the Stormbreaker, the computer he is manufacturing.

For the diver Kino, finding a magnificent pearl means the promise of a better life for his impoverished family. His dreams blind him to the greed that the pearl arouses in him and his neighbors. Baring the fallacy of the American dream--that wealth erases all problems--Steinbeck's classic illustrates the fall from innocence of people who believe that wealth erases all problems.
