Whisper Me A Love Song 8

As the school festival kicks into high gear, the competition between SSGIRLS and Laureley isn't the only thing on the girls' minds. While Himari and Yori are more secure in their relationship than ever, things couldn't be worse between Shiho and Aki-and the tension between the two girls is about to finally come to a head... The school festival is finally here! Himari is selling cookies and Yori is... well, she doesn't seem to want anyone to know, but Himari is desperate to find out! She and Yori are becoming more and more secure in their relationship, but that doesn't mean there isn't still room to grow. But while Himari's feelings are blossoming like beautiful flowers, Shiho is trying to uproot her own forlorn love like a bed of weeds. Aki is completely oblivious to Shiho's feelings for her, let alone how much it torments her... When the truth finally comes out, Shiho hopes she'll be able to move on with her life at last, but somehow love is never that simple...

Himari is starting to realize that she and Yori have two very different things in mind when they talk about being in love, and Yori can tell that things aren’t quite the same between them since she asked Himari out. But if they want to stay together, whether as friends or something more, they’ll have to hear each other out and see if they can get back in harmony. With band practice cutting into their time together and Himari making a new friend who tugs on Yori’s deepest insecurities, both girls start to wonder: how can one little word make everything so complicated?

Now that Yori has won Himari's heart and they're officially going out, it seems like everything should be easier. Being girlfriends brings its own questions, though—including what to do on their dates now that they're actually dating! Yori wonders if it's enough to do "normal" things, and Himari wonders if Yori still feels the same way she did before they started dating. Romance isn't the only thing in their lives, either. Auditions are being held to see who will get to perform at the upcoming culture fest, and one of the other acts has a history with SSGIRLS!

Bubbly, energetic first-year high school student Himari falls head over heels for her senpai Yori after hearing her band perform on the first day of school. Himari tells Yori she just loves her, and, to Himari’s surprise, Yori says she loves Himari back! But when Himari realizes that she and her senpai are feeling two different kinds of love, she begins to ask herself what “love” really means…

After Aki confesses that she is in love with Yori, Himari suddenly has a deadline to figure out how she feels about her senpai. Maybe her new friend Momoka can help? The more time Himari spends with Momoka at the cooking club, though, the more nervous Yori seems to get. Yori has new obligations of her own, too, now that she has to practice with the band. But when Yori’s feelings for Himari inspire her to do something she never thought she could, it might turn out to be the key that helps Himari unlock how she really feels about Yori.

From the author of The Latehomecomer, a powerful memoir of her father, a Hmong song poet who sacrificed his gift for his children's future in America In the Hmong tradition, the song poet recounts the story of his people, their history and tragedies, joys and losses; extemporizing or drawing on folk tales, he keeps the past alive, invokes the spirits and the homeland, and records courtships, births, weddings, and wishes. Following her award-winning book The Latehomecomer, Kao Kalia Yang now retells the life of her father Bee Yang, the song poet, a Hmong refugee in Minnesota, driven from the mountains of Laos by American's Secret War. Bee lost his father as a young boy and keenly felt his orphanhood. He would wander from one neighbor to the next, collecting the things they said to each other, whispering the words to himself at night until, one day, a song was born. Bee sings the life of his people through the war-torn jungle and a Thai refugee camp. But the songs fall away in the cold, bitter world of a Minneapolis housing project and on the factory floor until, with the death of Bee's mother, the songs leave him for good. But before they do, Bee, with his poetry, has polished a life of poverty for his children, burnished their grim reality so that they might shine. Written with the exquisite beauty for which Kao Kalia Yang is renowned, The Song Poet is a love story -- of a daughter for her father, a father for his children, a people for their land, their traditions, and all that they have lost.

The kingdoms of Elsira and Lagrimar have been separated for centuries by the Mantle, a magical veil that has enforced a tremulous peace between the two lands. But now, the Mantle is cracking and the True Father, ruler of Lagrimar and the most powerful Earthsinger in the world, finally sees a way into Elsira to seize power. All Jasminda ever wanted was to live quietly on her farm, away from the prying eyes of those in the nearby town.

Through Jack, the spy, Jasminda learns that the Mantle is weakening, allowing people to slip through without notice. And even more troubling: Lagrimar is mobilizing, and if no one finds a way to restore the Mantle, it might be too late for Elsira. Their only hope lies in uncovering the secrets of the Queen Who Sleeps and Jasminda’s Earthsong is the key to unravel them.
