Chapter One CHAPTER ONE I sat at the table in my cabin, my sister’s letter in my hand, and read it for the third time. After that, it was hard to sit still. Part of my head was making a list of the things I had to do now. The other part still couldn’t believe Felicia’s message. I’d gotten a letter from her right after Christmas, a thank-you note for the deerskin jacket I’d sent her. Getting another letter this soon after the first one had been a surprise. As I’d walked out of the Segundo Mexia post office, I’d stuffed it in my pocket, figuring it was full of chatter about what the students had done for the rest of the holiday. Holy Russian stuff. I hadn’t felt any need to hurry back up the hill to my cabin, and I’d put away my groceries before I’d opened Felicia’s letter. Dear Sister, Felicia began. Thanks so much for the warm jacket. It is eligant! Right away a bell had started ringing. From eleven-year-old Felicia’s very first letter to me, every word had been spelled correctly (her handwriting had steadily improved, too). Her whole class had to write letters home at least once a month-at least, those who had homes-and they had to keep a dictionary beside them while they wrote. Felicia had underlined the misspelled word. Just in case I didn’t notice. Too bad I can’t use it now. It was lovely and warm. I know you spent a lot of time with it. It’s stored away in a box until you can repair it. With it. Not working on it. She’d had to put away her deerskin jacket? Why? I knew winters weren’t really cold in San Diego, but surely a jacket…? I wish you were closer, so we could talk face-to-face. Maybe you could visit. Let me know! I remember when I met you in Mexico, and you sent me here to the HRE. That was a great day with good companions. I hope you’re well and you feel like traveling again soon. Your sister Felicia I hadn’t spent much time with my sister-hardly any, in fact. But I knew some things about her. Not only was she smart, she was devious. Felicia expected me to figure this out. All right, working backward. The “good companions” we’d had on the train platform in Ciudad Juarez were Klementina and Eli, bo...

But first, he must solve the exceptionally cruel murder of a much-loved woman whose abused body is discovered in an abandoned graveyard, “a pit of sluts, criminals and suicides.” The ferocity of that killing is fair warning of what’s ahead: scenes of prison torture (think: “strappado,” “scold’s bridle” and “the heretic’s fork”), culminating in a public execution so intense that it might cause one to toss one’s cookies. -- Marylin Stasio New York Times Book Review “Excellent. This is historical mystery fiction at its finest.” Publishers Weekly (starred)[praise for S. J. Parris] “A masterful work that deserves a place on all public-library historical-fiction shelves, and that should be recommended to Phillipa Gregory fans.” Booklist (starred)[praise for S. J. Parris] “Hugely enjoyable. It’s played straight, but never humourlessly so, and there’s just enough proper history amid the intrigue to keep purists on side.” The Guardian (UK)[praise for S. J. Parris] “One of my favorite authors, and she is unquestionably our greatest living writer of historical thrillers. Few novelists inhabit a setting - any setting - with such confidence and command; fewer still devise plots of such cunning and craft. If Hilary Mantel, John Le Carre, and Michael Connelly were to join forces, they might gift us with a novel as atmospheric, intelligent, and addictive as Treachery - or indeed any of Parris’s books featuring monk-turned-spy Giordano Bruno.” -- A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window [praise for S. J. Parris] “An evil bookseller and a terrifying brothel lie ahead; what’s not to like? Gripping and fun.” The Observer (London)[praise for S. J. Parris] “With its twisting plot and vivid scene-setting, Treachery confirms Parris’s growing reputation as a writer of historical thrillers.” The Sunday Times (London)[praise for S. J. Parris] “Parris’s Giordano Bruno series has been a joy. Her Elizabethan England is loud, pungent, and blessedly free of some of the genre’s more egregious cliches. She wears her research lightly: at home with the detail of the period, she is quite happy to engage in a little creative anachronism to bring the story home.” The D...

B. White, author of Stuart Little and The Trumpet of the Swan, is a classic of childrens literature that is just about perfect. This paper-over-board edition includes a foreword by two-time Newbery winning author Kate DiCamillo. Some Pig. Humble. Radiant. These are the words in Charlottes Web, high up in Zuckermans barn. Charlottes spiderweb tells of her feelings for a little pig named Wilbur, who simply wants a friend. They also express the love of a girl named Fern, who saved Wilburs life when he was born the runt of his litter.E. B. Whites Newbery Honor Book is a tender novel of friendship, love, life, and death that will continue to be enjoyed by generations to come. It contains illustrations by Garth Williams, the acclaimed illustrator of E. B. Whites Stuart Little and Laura Ingalls Wilders Little House series, among many other books.Whether enjoyed in the classroom or for homeschooling or independent reading, Charlottes Web is a proven favorite. From the Back Cover Sixty years ago, on October 15, 1952, E.B. Whites Charlottes Web was published. Its gone on to become one of the most beloved childrens books of all time. To celebrate this milestone, the renowned Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo has written a heartfelt and poignant tribute to the book that is itself a beautiful translation of Whites own view of the world-of the joy he took in the change of seasons, in farm life, in the miracles of life and death, and, in short, the glory of everything. We are proud to include Kate DiCamillos foreword in the 60th anniversary editions of this cherished classic. Charlottes Web is the story of a little girl named Fern who loved a little pig named Wilbur-and of Wilburs dear friend Charlotte A. Cavatica, a beautiful large grey spider who lived with Wilbur in the barn. With the help of Templeton, the rat who never did anything for anybody unless there was something in it for him, and by a wonderfully clever plan of her own, Charlotte saved the life of Wilbur, who by this time had grown up to quite a pig. How all this comes about is Mr. Whites story. It is a story of the magic of childhood on the farm. The thousands of children who loved Stuart Little, the heroic little city mouse, will be entranced with Charlotte the spider, Wilbur the pig, and Fern, the little girl who understood their language. The forty-seven black-and-white drawings by Garth Williams have all the wonderful detail and warmhearted appeal that children love in his work. Incomparably matched to E.B. Whites marvelous story, they speak to each new generation, softly and irresistibly. About the Author E. B.

But real life is only one kind of life-there is also the life of the imagination.Kate DiCamillo is the acclaimed author of many books for young readers, including The Tale of Despereaux, winner of the Newbery Medal; Because of W...

-Titulo Original : The Good Egg (the Food Group)-Fabricante : HarperCollins-Descripcion Original: A #1 New York Times bestseller!An Amazon Best Books of the Year 2019 selection!From the bestselling creators of The Bad Seed, a timely story about not having to be Grade A perfect!Meet the good egg. He’s a verrrrrry good egg indeed.But trying to be so good is hard when everyone else is plain ol’ rotten.As the other eggs in the dozen behave badly, the good egg starts to crack from all the pressure of feeling like he has to be perfect.So, he decides enough is enough! It’s time for him to make a change…Dynamic duo Jory John and Pete Oswald hatch a funny and charming story that reminds us of the importance of balance, self-care, and accepting those we love (even if they are sometimes a bit rotten).Perfect for reading aloud and shared story time! From School Library Journal K-Gr 2-From the creators of The Bad Seed comes an organic and locally sourced tale of the importance of self-care. A self-identified good egg lives in a carton at the farmers market with 11 other eggs who all have a tendency to misbehave. The good egg tries to be perfect and take charge but eventually, the stress of it all starts to show and it becomes clear that a big change is needed. So the good egg sets off on a journey of self-discovery and self-care that involves relaxation, meditation, and even painting. Finally, the good egg returns home having learned that nobody is perfect and its important to take time to be good to yourself and your fellow eggs. The illustrations are an egg-cellent source of amusement with the 11 bad eggs practicing feats of naughtiness and rude behavior at every opportunity. Images veer from melodramatic to preposterous and some of the jokes may fly over the heads of children, but will get adults laughing. The simple text provides an important counterbalance to the absurdity of the illustrations and the focus on self-care provides a helpful starting point for conversations about being true to yourself and how to take time for self-reflection.

Then he steps in (actually climbs up) a huge hill of strawberries that turn his pristine sneakers red. Did Pete cry? Goodness, no! He kept walking along and singing his song. I love my red shoes.... He proceeds to step in a mound of blueberries and then a mud puddle, each incident changing his sneakers to a new hue (the colors never blend). Unsmiling but placid, Pete takes it all in stride. After stepping into a bucket more like a tub of water, he notices that his sneakers are not only white again, but also wet. Even though they are back to their original color, the next illustration perplexingly shows Pete walking along with each shoe sporting one of the four colors highlighted in the book. Bright, childlike illustrations show the long-limbed feline regularly altering his footwear but continuing not to watch where hes walking. The moral of the story keep going no matter what happens to you in life may sound like good advice, but it doesnt instill any sense of power in children it just tells them to accept their fate. The downloadable song might help spark interest, but theres not much here to get excited about. Maryann H.
