That’s what the note says that Max finds under his keyboard. He knows that his best friend, Josie, wrote it. He’d know her handwriting anywhere. But why she wrote it—and what it means—remains a mystery. Ever since they met in kindergarten, Max and Josie have been inseparable. Until the summer after fifth grade, when Josie disappears, leaving only a note, and whispering something about “whatnot rules.” But why would Max ever think that Josie wasn’t real? And what are whatnots? As Max sets to uncover what happened to Josie—and what she is or isn’t—little does he know that she’s fighting to find him again, too. But there are forces trying to keep Max and Josie from ever seeing each other again. Because Josie wasn’t supposed to be real. This middle grade thriller from Margaret Peterson Haddix delves into the power of privilege, the importance of true friendship, and the question of humanity and identity. Because when anyone could be a whatnot, what makes a person a real friend—or real at all?

"The What Nots of Entrepreneurship" offers an honest look at the common and not so common mistakes made by aspiring entrepreneurs. Long-time educator now author Angela Grayson unapologetically lays out EVERYTHING she did wrong while running what was a seemingly successful educational services enterprise. "I have learned that you can't be afraid to tackle all aspects of the business," writes Grayson. "I didn't see the value in the things I didn't understand." As a licensed, ordained minister, Grayson also chronicles the test of her faith as she grappled with alcoholism, stress, borderline bankruptcy, $80,000 in IRS penalties, dishonest employees, marital challenges and the eventual close of her business. "Looking back has been painful, but if my mistakes will help someone learn the ropes and avoid the pitfalls without losing it all, my hardships will have been worth it."
