Hurt Go Happy :Thirteen-year-old Joey Willis is used to being left out of conversations. Though she's been deaf since the age of six, Joey's mother has never allowed her to learn sign language. She strains to read the lips of those around her, but often fails.Everything changes when Joey meets Dr. Charles Mansell and his baby chimpanzee, Sukari. Her new friends use sign language to communicate, and Joey secretly begins to learn to sign. Spending time with Charlie and Sukari, Joey has never been happier. She even starts making friends at school for the first time. But as Joey's world blooms with possibilities, Charlie's and Sukari's choices begin to narrow--until Sukari's very survival is in doubt. Its 227 pages I loved it read it when i was 12
by Ginny Rorby
The Shadow thieves by Anne Ursu: Its kinda long 424 pages but good :See that girl, the one with the bright red hair, overstuffed backpack, and aura of grumpiness? That's Charlotte Mielswetzski. And something extra-ordinary is about to happen to her.
Oh, it's not the very cute kitten that appears out of nowhere and demands to go home with her. It's not the sudden arrival of her cousin Zee, who believes he's the cause of a mysterious sickness that has struck his friends back in England. It's not her creepy English teacher Mr. Metos, who takes his mythology lessons just a little too seriously. And it's not the white-faced, yellow-eyed men in tuxedoes, who follow Charlotte everywhere.
What's so extraordinary is not any one of these things....It's all of them. And when Charlotte's friends start to get sick one by one, Charlotte and Zee set out to find a cure. Their quest leads them to a not-so-mythical Underworld, where they face rhyme-loving Harpies, gods with personnel problems, and ghosts with a thirst for blood.
Charlotte and Zee learn that in a world overrun by Nightmares, Pain, and Death, the really dangerous character is a guy named Phil. And then they discover that the fate of every person -- living and dead -- is in their young hands.
A Mango Shaped Space by Wendy Mass :Mia Winchell seems to be a typical teenager, but shes keeping a huge secret from everyone who knows her: sounds, numbers, and words appear in color for her. Mia has synesthesia, the mingling of perceptions whereby a person can see sounds, smell colors, or taste shapes. When trouble in school forces Mia to reveal her condition, her friends and family can't relate to her, and she must look to herself to develop an understanding and appreciation for her gift. Spiced with wit and humor, A Mango-Shaped Space is a poignant coming-of-age novel that will intrigue readers long after theyve turned the last page. Praised by reviewers and award-winning authors alike, A Mango-Shaped Space has brought renewed attention to the fascinating world of synesthesia, which includes famous artists such as Vincent Van Gogh and Serge Rachmaninoff 218 pages
Harry Potter is good not too long
Incatation by Allice Hoffman: Its still a favortite to this day: Estrella is a Marrano: During the time of the Spanish Inquisition, she is one of a community of Spanish Jews living double lives as Catholics. And she is living in a house of secrets, raised by a family who practices underground the ancient and mysterious way of wisdom known as kabbalah. When Estrella discovers her family's true identityâand her family's secrets are made publicâshe confronts a world she's never imagined, where new love burns and where friendship ends in flame and ash, where trust is all but vanquished and betrayal has tragic and bitter consequences. This is only 176 pages and is very good and has a lot about bravery

Where can I find an Empathy Belly for my husband?
Joanne H
He justed wanted to know what women go through. He was very supportive for my pregnancies and wanted to know what was the worst for me. I told him the weight on my back and nerves.
Answer
Using Ebay or other online site might help, but that's a lot of money to spend just to experiment with an "Empathy Belly".
http://www.empathybelly.org/home.html
I think you'll have a better chance of accessing one of these bellies by checking with the local school board where you live, or the school board(s) of a nearby county.
The School Board? ...Yes, the school board, there's a good chance they can direct you to a school with one of these.
Depending on where you live "Empathy Bellies" might be part of the middle/high school sex-education course for some of the more well-funded schools within the district.
The school board would have records of funds and purchases for all the schools they oversee. If an "Empathy Belly" was bought for one of more schools to use in sex education courses, they would be able to tell you which one(s). Then all you have to do is visit the school and ask if you and your husband could experiment with it before the next series of sex-ed courses.
If you can't find one...
1) get a large heavy-duty backpack and undo the straps.
2) Have him hold the pack over his belly then while he's holding it, cross the straps across his upper back and reconnect the straps (so that the top halves are now connected to the opposite bottom halves) then take up enough slack to keep it snug but still over the belly.
3) Fill the backpack with a small heavy object (or objects)
the most suitable would be dumbbell weights like the ones here...

but without the bar handles. The trick is to try and keep the weight over the belly, lower than the rib cage, an above the pelvis. You may need to adjust and retighten the straps as the weights are added to keep it at the proper position.
The weights will make the straps across the upper back pull the upper body forward similar to how the upper body of a pregnant woman gets pulled forward trying to support the new weight of the belly and baby. Most men tend to have better upper body strength than women, so estimate the amount of weight in your belly and add 10-20 pounds to offset this. Depending on how far along you are, the pack on him should be 30-50 pounds to roughly match the amount strain put on the back and spine. Wearing the pack while walking around the house for a few hours will give him an idea of what it's like.
