If they weren’t part of a magical world of witchcraft and sorcery, I would swear I knew these characters in high school. “Krys’s dry sense of humor had me laughing and her spot-on world-building had me enthralled. “A perfect mix of action, romance, and humor – HEXED kept me riveted until the very last page!”-Amy Tintera, author of REBOOT Indie is about to uncover the many dark truths about her life-and a future unlike any she ever imagined on top of the cheer pyramid. And that's seriously bad news for Indie, because according to Bishop, the hot warlock who has an uncanny knowledge of everything that matters, she's a witch too. If she doesn't get the Bible back, every witch on the planet will die. And it involves much more than pom-poms and parties. But when a guy dies right before her eyes and an ancient family Bible is stolen, Indie's world spirals into darkness. Indie Blackwood is a popular cheerleader with a football-star boyfriend. Her best features are her green eyes and her beautiful hair and is growing into quite the beauty, quite in danger of falling prey to young men. One of several children, Angelique is high spirited, and lives her life amongst the villagers and in the marshlands around her home. Young Angelique is born into a noble but impoverished family in the mid 1600's. Somewhat unusually this book doesn't have any kind of synopsis at all on either the inside or back cover so I hope that I can do justice to the plot without giving too much away. The first I remember hearing about the series is when Ana did an Author Spotlight about Serge and Anne Golon at Historical Tapestry. I am not quite sure how I managed it, but some how I have managed to spend the last twenty five years of my reading life in complete ignorance about the Angelique series, and yet having just finished reading the first book (well actually first two books) in the series, I am confident in saying that this book has everything that I love in a book.

(The singular "they" is unconventional, rather than wrong. Gino prefers using the pronoun "they" rather than "him" or "her" when referring to themself. Gino grew up on Staten Island, studied education at the University of Pennsylvania and taught elementary school briefly before becoming a test prep coach and author. Author Alex Gino started writing George well before transgender people began appearing as well-rounded characters on TV shows or the covers of major magazines - not to mention having much opportunity to tell their own stories within mainstream media. She's the heroine of a new book intended for readers in grades 3 to 7 and published by Scholastic, one of the largest children's publishing companies in the world.

No sooner does Henri sweep Nancy off her feet and convince her to become Mrs. It is 1936 and Nancy Wake is an intrepid Australian expat living in Paris who has bluffed her way into a reporting job for Hearst newspaper when she meets the wealthy French industrialist Henri Fiocca. Told in interweaving timelines organized around the four code names Nancy used during the war, Code Name Hélène is a spellbinding and moving story of enduring love, remarkable sacrifice and unfaltering resolve that chronicles the true exploits of a woman who deserves to be a household name. No parent or teacher wants to shell out for a book that it is a nightmare to read. Whatever the reason, Alexander is one of those books that strikes a (minor) chord.Ĭhildren's literature is a really tricky thing to sell because it actually has a dual audience: the kids who are supposed to love it and the adults who are supposed to buy it. Maybe it's Alexander's lovable crabbiness, maybe it's the fact that kids and adults can empathize with his plight, maybe it's just one big pity party. Judith Viorst wrote Alexander back in 1972, and it's been a centerpiece of children's literature ever since. (You're welcome.) The book has remained in our hearts and on our children's bookshelves for over four decades. But we do know that it will help you use Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day as an amazing teaching tool for everything from emotional understanding to problem-solving to why they should clean their room. We don't expect your four-year-old to be reading through this whole guide. Many reviewers have criticised the recording and it is certainly dated both from a technical as well as a linguistics viewpoint. This story highlights ethics in Medicine and is as true and valid now as it was in 1937.

Where does The Citadel rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far? I was admittedly rather weary of this novel, partially due to its obvious place in the younger of genres and because retellings are often incredibly hard to do well. Of course, since I have a rather large weak spot for the story of Aladdin (as noted by the lovely shirt I own from seeing the broadway play only two years ago), the second I noticed this particular book I immediately plucked it up. I'd seen Poor Unfortunate Soul by Serena Valentino before, having found myself curious but never curious enough to buy it. The other day in Barnes and Noble (my home away from home) while I was looking for something to happily blow all of my Christmas money on, I happened upon a display labeled Disney Villains with a smattering of books featuring many of the darkest of meanies from various Disney films from my childhood.
