    Book : The Grip (1) (marcus Stroman) - Stroman, Marcus

    -Titulo Original : The Grip (1) (marcus Stroman)-Fabricante : Aladdin-Descripcion Original: In this first book in the semi-autobiographical middle grade series from MLB pitcher Marcus Stroman, a young baseball player learns that perfect games only come with a lot of practice-and some strikeouts. Young Marcus Stroman is determined to make it to the highest playing level he can, despite every coach telling him he’s not tall enough to become a “real” pitcher. He’ll show them…with some struggling and a whole lot of learning. It’s easy to forget that for every professional sports player there was a kid just learning that sport, dealing with nerves during try-outs, dropping the ball when all their teammates are counting on them, and learning how to stay friends with someone who doesn’t make the team. These hard lessons are universal whether in the majors or on a school playing field, and so are teamwork, competition, and believing in yourself. About the Author Marcus Stroman was born and raised in Medford, New York, where he attended Patchogue-Medford High School. Drafted by the Washington Nationals in the eighteenth round of the 2009 Major League Baseball draft, Marcus opted to delay the start of his professional career and instead chose to attend Duke University to further his education. Marcus has pitched for the Toronto Blue Jays and the New York Mets and now plays for the Chicago Cubs. Off the field, Marcus is passionate about his work with the community through his charitable foundation HDMH (Height Doesn’t Measure Heart), where he helps kids achieve their own dreams and to instill confidence in themselves. Through his idea of believing in yourself more than believing in what anyone says about you, Marcus strives to be a positive role model both on and off the field. Marcus has always believed in himself and has proven all his critics wrong at every step of his journey. He is known for his determination not only on the field, but in bettering himself off the field and building his confidence in whatever he sets out to do. He hopes to instill that same confidence in kids. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Chapter 1 CHAPTER 1 THWACK. That’s the soundtrack every morning. Thwack. Every morning, I am in the backyard, throwing balls to my dad. The rhythm of my baseball crashing into his glove is the soundtrack of each day. The reason? Because Earl Stroman is a professional butt kicker and he’s training me to become the greatest pitcher the game of baseball has ever seen. Dad believes I have what it takes to become one of the greats. He also believes that in order to be great, you have to practice every single morning. Every. Single. Morning. It doesn’t matter how hot it is, how cold it is, how much our bones ache, or how loud our stomachs growl. We don’t stop until Dad stands up and says we’re done. We’re at the twenty-minute mark, and I’m hot, thirsty, and hungry all at the same time. The smell of bacon grease coming from somewhere teases my nose hairs. Too bad for me. Even though my mind is pinballing all over the place, I keep my eyes on Dad. His dark skin glistens like he just walked through drizzle. He is muscular and can squat for a long time. He tosses the ball to me, and I catch it with a mitt bigger than my face. A pesky insect buzzes close to my ear. I try to flick it away and miss. I try again, but it’s still too quick. Dad would tell me I should have a faster response than the bug. I wait for the bug, but it has flown away. I stand on the little mound in the backyard. Dad is patiently squatting on the other side of the yard. My eyes drift to the kitchen window before the ball leaves my grip. Thwack! I shake my head and grunt a little at that last throw. I know I can do better. “Are you distracted,” Dad asks, but not really as a question. “No, but I’m getting hungry,” I say. Dad glances at his cool black watch. “Ten more minutes,” he says. I shake off the bacon smell. I think about all my friends sleeping late during summer break. I shake out my f...

British Museum LONDON, ENGLAND-PRESENT DAY ON A SLATE GRAY NOVEMBER day, one hundred years after the discovery of Tutankhamen’s tomb, a group of five young people converged in a part of London known as Bloomsbury. Like Howard Carter, they were looking to recover treasures of Egyptian antiquity. Except they weren’t going to dig a tunnel in the desert. They were going to sneak through one in an abandoned section of the London Underground. And the artifacts they sought weren’t concealed in some long-forgotten tomb. They were on display at one of the busiest museums in the world. This was no excavation. It was a heist. “Testing comms, one, two, three,” Kat said into the microphone hidden in the red remembrance poppy pinned to her lapel. “Can everybody hear me?” “Loud and clear,” said Paris. “Perfectly,” answered Rio. “All good on my end,” Brooklyn replied. There was a pause as they waited for a final voice to check in. “Sydney, are you not responding because you can’t hear me?” Kat asked. “Or is it because you’re still pouting?” After a moment, Sydney replied, “I’m sorry. I was under the impression nobody cared what I had to say.” “So, pouting,” Paris commented. “I’m not pouting,” Sydney said defensively. “I’m just… disappointed. All I asked was that we slide the break-in a couple hours so we could see the fireworks at Battersea Park. You know how much I love Bonfire Night. It’s going to be huge and everyone’s going to be there.” “Which is exactly why we’re going to be here,” Kat said. “The police will be spread thin, and there are no celebrations scheduled for Bloomsbury. That means they’ll be elsewhere, which dramatically improves the probability of us not getting caught.” Kat was the alpha on this mission, which meant she had to come up with the plan to break into the British Museum. She’d studied dozens of famous robberies and noticed that many took place on holidays or during special events, when police and s...

    Book : The Unwanteds (1) - McMann, Lisa

    -Titulo Original : The Unwanteds (1)-Fabricante : Aladdin-Descripcion Original: A riveting middlegrade dystopian novel from New York Times bestselling Wake author Lisa McMann that Kirkus Reviews calls “The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter.” Every year in Quill, thirteen-year-olds are sorted into categories: the strong, intelligent Wanteds go to university, and the artistic Unwanteds are sent to their deaths. Thirteen-year-old Alex tries his hardest to be stoic when his fate is announced as Unwanted, even while leaving behind his twin, Aaron, a Wanted. Upon arrival at the destination where he expected to be eliminated, however, Alex discovers a stunning secret--behind the mirage of the death farm there is instead a place called Artime. In Artime, each child is taught to cultivate their creative abilities and learn how to use them magically, weaving spells through paintbrushes and musical instruments. Everything Alex has ever known changes before his eyes, and its a wondrous transformation. But its a rare, unique occurence for twins to be separated between Wanted and Unwanted, and as Alex and Aarons bond stretches across their separation, a threat arises for the survival of Artime that will pit brother against brother in an ultimate, magical battle. Review The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter in this middle-grade departure from McManns string of paranormal mysteries with romance for young adults. On the day of Purge in totalitarian Quill, which is run by the High Priest Justine, 13-year-olds learn if they are deemed Wanted to attend the university, Necessary to tend the land or Unwanted and purged by execution. Without a good-bye from his Wanted identical brother Aaron, Alex Stowe and the other Unwanteds travel to the Death Farm. Instead of death, they meet the lush and magical world of Artime, kept secret from Justine by mage Marcus Today. In a third-person narration characterized by even pacing and whimsical inventions, Alex and his peers learn that their creativity threatened Justines power. Surrounded by talking blackboards, transporting tubes and such fantastical creatures as an octagator (with the head of an alligator and body of an octopus) for instructors, the teens hone their drawing, music and acting skills while also wielding paintbrushes for invisibility spells and iambic pentameter to stun attackers during Magical Warrior Training, in preparation for battle against the Quillitary. As the youths explore fear, responsibility and free thinking, their spells may be used sooner than they think when Alexs twin bond is tested and rivals vie for Aarons new position in Justines government. Blending elements from two popular genres, this is sure to be a double hit. - KIRKUS, April 15, 2011 Imagination runs wild in this creative adventure. --#1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Mull Reading Lisa McManns THE UNWANTEDS was like discovering a brilliant, lost childrens classic--except its never going to be lost, because readers will never, ever forget the magic theyll experience in its pages. --James A.

    -Titulo Original : Dinosaurs Love Underpants (the Underpants Books)-Fabricante : Aladdin-Descripcion Original: Find out what really drove the dinosaurs to extinction in this funny, wacky celebration of underpants from top-selling author-illustrator team Claire Freedman and Ben Cort! The mystery of dinosaur extinction is solved! Scientists have plenty of theories about why dinosaurs are extinct, but the UK’s bestselling authorillustrator team of Claire Freedman and Ben Cort knows the real answer: The dinos were wiped out in an Underpants War! This wacky celebration of underpants is perfect for reading aloud, and the hilarious antics of T. rex and the gang are endlessly entertaining. Featuring fun, vibrant art and short, rhyming text, Dinosaurs Love Underpants is a prehistoric pleasure parents and kids will want to read again and again. From School Library Journal PreS-Freedman and Cort offer another homage to underpants. Cartoons in bright colors and patterns pep up the rhymed tale that explains the demise of dinosaurs. According to Freedman, When T. rex saw mans undies,/He roared with deafening rants./I dont want to eat you up./I want your underpants. All dinosaurs follow the obsessive fad, escalating to a manic dino tug-of-war that wipes out every order, saving mankind. Despite the skimpy plot, preschoolers will giggle as itchy or tight briefs annoy Stegosaurus or Diplodocus, while theft victim cavemen shyly cover up with huge leaves or the few remaining pairs of underwear.-Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. From Booklist As long as you can suspend all sense of evolution, literature, and good taste and are of a single-digit age, you’ll crack up with hysterics at this theory of dinosaur extinction from the creators of Aliens Love Underpants (2007). According to the story, cavemen began to feel “embarrassed in the nude,” and so they “dreamed up underpants,” which the dinos coveted and copied, creating a mass frenzy that escalated into a Mighty Underpants War and the end of the giant beasts. Once again, the rhyming text and illustrations turn this into a comic delight.

Chapter One ONE WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?” Keefe shouted over the howling wind and the roaring sea. “Don’t tell me the great Sophie Foster is afraid.” “I’m just trying to concentrate!” Sophie shouted back, wishing her voice didn’t sound so shaky. Not that she could fool him. As an Empath, Keefe could feel the terror coursing through her veins like a herd of stampeding mastodons. All she could do was tug out an itchy eyelash-her nervous habit-and try not to think about how very far down the ocean was. “You should be afraid,” Sandor told her in his strange, squeaky voice. He placed a gray gobliny hand on Sophie’s shoulder and pulled her back from the edge of the cliff. “There has to be a safer way to teleport.” “There isn’t.” Most of the time Sophie was grateful to have the constant protection of a burly bodyguard-especially since her kidnappers had proven they could find her anytime, anywhere. But sometimes she had to take risks. She shrugged off Sandor’s hand-which took quite a lot of effort, considering he was seven feet tall with biceps like giant boulders-and inched forward, reminding herself that she liked teleporting better than light leaping. Despite the nexuses she had clamped on each wrist, or the force fields they created to hold her body together during a leap, she’d faded too many times to truly feel safe. Still, she wished free-falling wasn’t an essential part of teleporting. “Want me to push you?” Keefe offered, laughing as Sophie jerked away from him. “Come on, it’ll be fun-for me, at least.” Dex snorted behind them. “And he gets to go with you today.” “Uh, more like she gets to go with me,” Keefe corrected, flashing his trademark smirk. “Go on, tell Dex who the Council contacted first.” “Only because your dad’s in charge of arranging visits to the Sanctuary now,” Sophie reminded him. “Eh, firsties is still firsties. Just admit it, Foster. You need me.” Sophie wished she could argue, but unfortunately the Council did want Keefe to go with her. Apparently Silveny was having some sort of trouble at her new home in the elves’ special animal preserve, and since Sophie and Keefe each had a connection with the precious alicorn, the Council had asked both of them to head to the Sanctuary immediat...

    Book : Dork Diaries 1 Tales From A Not-so-fabulous Life (1).

    -Titulo Original : Dork Diaries 1 Tales From A Not-so-fabulous Life (1)-Fabricante : Aladdin-Descripcion Original: Nikki Maxwell is starting eighth grade at a new school-and her very first diary is packed with hilarious stories and art in this SUPER SQUEE updated edition of the first book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Dork Diaries series! Nikki confesses all in her first diary ever: her epic battle with her mom for an iPhone, meeting her new soon-to-be BFFs Chloe and Zoey, falling for adorably sweet crush Brandon, dealing with her zany little sister Brianna’s antics-and the immediate clashes with mean girl MacKenzie, who becomes Nikki’s rival in a school-wide art competition. Nearly 30 million books in print worldwide! From School Library Journal Grade 5-8-Fourteen-year-old Nikki J. Maxwell has been awarded a scholarship to a prestigious private middle school as a part of her fathers bug extermination contract. Her angst as she deals with the resident mean girl, her embarrassing parents, her crush on the hot boy, and making new friends are all recorded alongside numerous sketches of her life. Although occasionally amusing, Nikki is not a very likable character. She is shallow and self-centered and fails to show any growth in the book, even as she one-ups popular and cruel MacKenzie in the end. In fact, Nikki, who steals her neighbors hearing aid and plays pranks on her little sister, is somewhat of a mean girl herself. All the other characters are underdeveloped, including Nikkis family and her new BFFs, Chloe and Zoey. Black-and-white drawings, which are often witty, appear throughout the text, which is printed on lined pages as though from a diary. Fans of Jeff Kinneys Diary of a Wimpy Kid (Abrams) may enjoy this book, but its an additional purchase.-Terry Ann Lawler, Phoenix Public Library, AZ Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
