Looking for something to read? New this week: The New David Espinoza by Fred Aceves Seventeen-year-old David Espinoza is sick and tired of being too skinny. After getting caught on video on the last day of school as a bully lays him out cold with a slap across the face, David begins to withdraw, deciding to devote himself to bulking up before the start of the next school year. He finds a gym close to home, run by a well-known young bodybuilder, but after a few workouts and not enough gains, he comes to the realization that all the YouTube bodybuilders he's been following might well have bulked up with some extra help: steroids. David's journey to an ideal body is fraught with pitfalls as he alienates his girlfriend and his family, develops muscle dysmorphia, and witnesses some truly horrific side effects of steroid use among his new friends. Our Wayward Fate by Gloria Chao When the new student in town happens be Taiwanese just like her, Ali Chu's world is turned upside down—and not in the ways she might have imagined.

Her classmates can't pronounce her name, and she has to drive to another town for kung fu lessons—where she's still the only Asian. Things aren't much better at home, with parents who won't address any of their problems or family secrets. Instead, they don't talk at all. Then Chase Yu arrives, and suddenly Ali has someone who understands her jokes and has her back when she stands up to teachers. The problem of Ali's family remains. To move forward, Ali has to uncover what their past means for her future. Click here to read Webcomics. Don't forget about Flipster magazines on the Online Resources page.
