    Book: The Fountains of Silence [TD] - Ruta Sepetys

    -Titulo Original : The Fountains Of Silence-Fabricante : Philomel Books-Descripcion Original: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Salt to the Sea and Between Shades of Gray comes a gripping, extraordinary portrait of love, silence, and secrets under a Spanish dictatorship. Madrid, 1957. Under the fascist dictatorship of General Francisco Franco, Spain is hiding a dark secret. Meanwhile, tourists and foreign businessmen flood into Spain under the welcoming promise of sunshine and wine. Among them is eighteen-year-old Daniel Matheson, the son of an oil tycoon, who arrives in Madrid with his parents hoping to connect with the country of his mothers birth through the lens of his camera. Photography--and fate--introduce him to Ana, whose familys interweaving obstacles reveal the lingering grasp of the Spanish Civil War--as well as chilling definitions of fortune and fear.

    Book: Salt To The Sea [TD] - Ruta Sepetys

    -Titulo Original : Salt To The Sea-Fabricante : Philomel Books-Descripcion Original: New York Times Bestseller and winner of the Carnegie Medal! Masterfully crafted—The Wall Street Journal For readers of Between Shades of Gray and All the Light We Cannot See, Ruta Sepetys returns to WWII in this epic novel that shines a light on one of the wars most devastating—yet unknown—tragedies. World War II is drawing to a close in East Prussia and thousands of refugees are on a desperate trek toward freedom, many with something to hide. Among them are Joana, Emilia, and Florian, whose paths converge en route to the ship that promises salvation, the Wilhelm Gustloff. Forced by circumstance to unite, the three find their strength, courage, and trust in each other tested with each step closer to safety. Just when it seems freedom is within their grasp, tragedy strikes. Not country, nor culture, nor status matter as all ten thousand people—adults and children alike—aboard must fight for the same thing: survival. Told in alternating points of view and perfect for fans of Anthony Doerrs Pulitzer Prize-winning All the Light We Cannot See, Erik Larsons Dead Wake, and Elizabeth Weins Printz Honor Book Code Name Verity, this masterful work of historical fiction is inspired by the real-life tragedy that was the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff—the greatest maritime disaster in history. As she did in Between Shades of Gray, Ruta Sepetys unearths a shockingly little-known casualty of a gruesome war, and proves that humanity and love can prevail, even in the darkest of hours.

    Book : Owl Moon - Jane Yolen

    -Titulo Original : Owl Moon-Fabricante : Philomel Books-Descripcion Original: Review Among the greatest charms of children is their ability to view a simple activity as a magical adventure. Such as a walk in the woods late at night. Jane Yolen captures this wonderment in a book whose charm rises from its simplicity. It was late one winter night, long past my bedtime, when Pa and I went owling. The two walked through the woods with nothing but hope and each other in a journey that will fascinate many a child. John Schoenherrs illustrations help bring richness to the countryside adventure. The book won the 1988 Caldecott Medal. Late one winter night a little girl and her father go owling. The trees stand still as statues and the world is silent as a dream. Whoo-whoo-whoo, the father calls to the mysterious nighttime bird. But there is no answer. Wordlessly the two companions walk along, for when you go owling you dont need words. You dont need anything but hope. Sometimes there isnt an owl, but sometimes there is. Distinguished author Jane Yolen has created a gentle, poetic story that lovingly depicts the special companionship of a young child and her father as well as humankinds close relationship to the natural world. Wonderfully complemented by John Schoenherrs soft, exquisite watercolor illustrations, this is a verbal and visual treasure, perfect for reading around and sharing at bedtime. From Publishers Weekly A girl and her father go owling on a moonlit winter night near the farm where they live. Bundled tight in wool clothes, they trudge through snow whiter than the milk in a cereal bowl; here and there, hidden in ink-blue shadows, a fox, raccoon, fieldmouse and deer watch them pass. An air of expectancy builds as Pa imitates the Great Horned Owls call once without answer, then again. From out of the darkness an echo/ came threading its way/ through the trees. Schoenherrs watercolor washes depict a New England few readers see: the bold stare of a nocturnal owl, a birds-eye view of a farmhouse. In harmony with the art, the melodious text brings to life an unusual countryside adventure. Ages 2-6. Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc. Review The very best books for not-quite-reading children must be written to charm and astonish the adults who read them aloud . . . Owl Moon does this better than any new childrens book I have seen in a long time. -- The New York Times Book Review, Paul Johnson About the Author Born and raised in New York City, Jane Yolen now lives in Hatfield, Massachusetts. She attended Smith College and received her masters degree in education from the University of Massachusetts. The distinguished author of more than 170 books, Jane Yolen is a person of many talents. When she is not writing, Yolen composes songs, is a professional storyteller on the stage, and is the busy wife of a university professor, the mother of three grown children, and a grandmother. Active in several organizations, Yolen has been on the Board of Directors of the Society of Childrens Book Writers and Illustrators, was president of the Science Fiction Writers of America from 1986 to 1988, is on the editorial board of several magazines, and was a founding member of the Western New England Storytellers Guild, the Western Massachusetts Illustrators Guild, and the Bay State Writers Guild. For twenty years, she ran a monthly writers workshop for new childrens book authors. In 1980, when Yolen was awarded an honorary Doctor of Law degree by Our Lady of the Elms College in Chicopee, Massachusetts, the citation recognized that throughout her writing career she has remained true to her primary source of inspiration--folk culture. Folklore is the perfect second skin, writes Yolen. From under its hide, we can see all the shimmering, shadowy uncertainties of the world. Folklore, she believes, is the universal human language, a language that children instinctively feel in their hearts. All of Yolens stories and poems are somehow rooted in her s...

The Stowell family is abuzz with holiday excitement, and Frankie, the youngest boy, is the most excited of all. But theres a cloud over the joyous season: Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and Pa hasnt returned yet from his trip to Lansing. He promised to bring back the oranges for the mantelpiece. Every year there are nine of them nestled among the evergreens, one for each of the children. But this year, heavy snows might mean no oranges . . . and, worse, no Pa! This is a holiday story close to Patricia Polaccos heart. Frankie was her grandmothers youngest brother, and every year she and her family remember this tale of a little boy who learned--and taught--an important lesson about giving, one Christmas long ago From School Library Journal Grade 2-4-The author/illustrator has turned again to her family history for this story of a Christmas long ago in rural Michigan. The plot is predictable, revolving around Pas late return from Lansing with the traditional nine oranges, one for each child; 10-year-old Frankies generosity to a hobo; and the boys subsequent loss of his orange.

Autobiography melds with history in this poignant tale of a family tradition, set around Christmastime during the Great Depression. Polacco introduces the Stowell family, a brood of nine living on a farm just outside of Detroit. Though they dont have a lot, the family never hesitates to share its good fortune, often feeding hungry hoboes as they pass through the nearby train station. Frankie, the youngest son, even gives one of them his favorite sweater. When Frankie loses the precious Christmas orange given to each child, he tells his mother about his error and also fesses up about his missing sweater. His family is so moved by his charitable gesture, it^B rallies to make sure Frankie has the most special gift of all. Polacco illustrates the story in her trademark watercolor-and-pencil style, with key elements picked out in bright color against more muted backdrops. Like many of Polaccos picture books, this holiday story about gifts and giving is based on a chapter from her own family history. Terry Glover Copyright © American Library Association.
