Summary:
Eleanor of Aquitaine, wife to two kings, mother to two others, has been waiting in Heaven a long time -- eight centuries,
more or less -- to be reunited with her second husband, Henry II of England. Finally, the day has come when Henry will be
judged for admission. While Eleanor, never a patient woman in life or afterlife, waits, three people, each of whom was close
to Eleanor during a time of her life, join her. Their reminiscences do far more than help distract Eleanor -- they also paint a
rich portrait of an extraordinary woman who was front and center in a remarkable period in history and whose
accomplishments have had an important influence on society through the ages.

A River Ran Wild
An Environmental History
Lynne Cherry
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (April 1, 2002)
Summary:
Beloved author of the classic The Great Kapok Tree, Lynne Cherry explores the true story of the Nashua River in
Massachusetts in this nonfiction picture book about restoration, renewal, and environmental consciousness. Over 7,000
years ago Native Americans settled on the Nashua River, a beautiful and leafy valley. But the industrialization of nearby
areas would lead to the deterioration of natural habitats. Each double spread examines brief periods of time when the river
and surrounding areas teemed with wildlife. Lynne Cherry's contrasting illustrations of the lush valley and the eventual
polluted river deliver an astonishing look at our dramatic need for conservation efforts. This pictorial history of the river,
edging towards a hopeful scene of modern-day descendants of both Native Americans and European settlers who come
together to combat pollution and restore the beauty of the river, is an intelligent tale that shows young readers how they can
do their part in taking care of the world around them, one river at a time.

A Troubled Peace
L. M. Elliott
HarperCollins (August 25, 2009)
Summary:
March 1945 World War II may be ending, but for nineteen-year-old pilot Henry Forester the conflict still rages. Shot down
behind enemy lines in France, Henry endured a dangerous trek to freedom, relying on the heroism of civilians and
Resistance fighters to stay alive. But back home in Virginia, Henry is still reliving air battles with Hitler's Luftwaffe and his
torture by the Gestapo. Mostly, Henry can't stop worrying about the safety of those who helped him escape—especially one
French boy, Pierre, who, because of Henry, may have lost everything. When Henry returns to France to find Pierre, he is
stunned by the brutal after-math of combat: starvation, cities shattered by Allied bombing, and the shocking return of
concentration camp survivors. Amid the rubble of war, Henry must begin a daring search for a lost boy—plus a fight to
regain his own internal peace and the trust of the girl he loves. L. M. Elliott's sequel to Under a War-Torn Sky is an
astonishing account of surviving the fallout from war.

Animals that Make Me Say Wow!
Dawn Cusick
Imagine! Publishing (2014)
Summary:
"Cusick explores how gravity-defying flight, coiled and tubelike tongues, bite-proof armor and other surprising adaptations in
animal bodies and behavior provide a competitive edge. This presentation of amazing animal facts is loosely organized into
three sections: defense, foraging and anatomy. There's a short introduction for each section followed by a series of boxed
explanations interspersed among a gallery of close-up photographs, mostly from the National Wildlife Federation archives.
Some images are quite wonderful: a family of cygnets riding a swan's back, a porcupine chewing on a branch, an
unidentified moth with a coiled tongue. Others are really too small to see details well. Some images are clearly labeled with
the creature's name; others can be guessed from the nearby text, but some will be mysteries (perhaps better than the "great
egret" caption for the snowy egret picture). Readers are asked some thought-provoking questions as well as offered cool
facts. Scavenger-hunt challenges in the concluding section call for both inside and outside research. A companion volume,
Animals That Make Me Say OUCH!, follows the same format, but its third section deals with adaptations for hostile
environments. Both titles feature lively, colorful design. Best for browsers who like their facts fast" --

Summary:
Perhaps the most celebrated animal story of the nineteenth century, "Black Beauty "is the suspenseful and deeply moving
account of a horse's experiences at the hands of many owners?some, sensitive riders who treated him gently; others, cruel
drivers who thoughtlessly inflicted lasting damage.Written as the animal's autobiography, and as an appeal for the humane
treatment of horses, Anna Sewell's beloved classic reveals as much about human conduct and the social ills of the time as it
does about the treatment of animals. Scenes from the lives of both the landed gentry and the impoverished working class
offer a subtle but well-rounded perspective of social conditions in England during the late 19th century.Animal lovers of all
ages will cherish this memorable story, available in this unabridged, modestly priced edition.Unabridged Dover (1999)

Blended
Sharon M. Draper

Summary:
Eleven-year-old Isabella’s blended family is more divided than ever in this thoughtful story about divorce and racial identity
from the award-winning and New York Times bestselling author of Out of My Mind, Sharon M. Draper.Eleven-year-old
Isabella’s parents are divorced, so she has to switch lives every week: One week she’s Isabella with her dad, his girlfriend
Anastasia, and her son Darren living in a fancy house where they are one of the only black families in the neighborhood.
The next week she’s Izzy with her mom and her boyfriend John-Mark in a small, not-so-fancy house that she loves. Because
of this, Isabella has always felt pulled between two worlds. And now that her parents are divorced, it seems their fights are
even worse, and they’re always about HER. Isabella feels even more stuck in the middle, split and divided between them
than ever. And she’s is beginning to realize that being split between Mom and Dad is more than switching houses, switching
nicknames, switching backpacks: it’s also about switching identities. Her dad is black, her mom is white, and strangers are
always commenting: “You’re so exotic!” “You look so unusual.” “But what are you really?” She knows what they’re really
saying: “You don’t look like your parents.” “You’re different.” “What race are you really?” And when her parents, who both get
engaged at the same time, get in their biggest fight ever, Isabella doesn’t just feel divided, she feels ripped in two. What
does it mean to be half white or half black? To belong to half mom and half dad? And if you’re only seen as half of this and
half of that, how can you ever feel whole? It seems like nothing can bring Isabella’s family together again—until the worst
happens. Isabella and Darren are stopped by the police. A cell phone is mistaken for a gun. And shots are fired.

The Fourth Epic Novel

Summary:
Young troublemakers George and Harold are back with Mr. Krupp, the Jerome Horowitz Elementary principal they previously
transformed into the superhero Captain Underpants with their 3-D hypno ring. This comic adventure begins in New
Swissland, where everyone has a silly name. ("Just ask their president, the Honorable Chuckles Jingleberry
McMonkeyburger Jr. or his lovely wife, Stinky.") New Swissland, just southeast of Greenland, is the home of the inventor of
the Shrinky-Pig 2000 and the Goosy-Grow 4000--Professor Pippy P. Poopypants. When the professor decides to pitch his
inventions in the United States, he is laughed out of every institution of higher learning because of his unusual name.
Frustrated, he decides to become an elementary school science teacher where the innocent children will, he assumes, be
accepting and loving. This is where his world collides with George and Harold's, who are not accepting of his funny name,
but instead explode with laughter and promptly craft a new comic book called "Captain Underpants and the Pied Pooper of
Piqua." This hilarious book will crack Pilkey fans up with tiny toilets of truth, evil gerbils, and even Cher's greatest hits. (The
children--not notoriously good spellers--note: "All animal cruelty was simulated. No actual girbles were forsed to listen to
Cher.") And what becomes of Professor Poopypants? He gets even, devising a method to convert all names into silly
names. He creates a chart in which everyone has to use letters from their own first and last names to create a madcap
moniker. In the end, George and Harold learn that it's not nice to make fun of people.

Cells for Kids
Science Book for Children
Nishi Singh
CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform (January 6, 2014)
Summary:
Cells are the building blocks of all living things. They are called "cells" because Robert Hooke, the person who discovered
the cells when looking under the microscope thought that it looked like the "empty rooms" of a monastery where monks
used to sleep in. Biology is the study of living organisms and the research of the science behind living things. Biology is the
core that unites all other disciplines and sub-disciplines of biological science. This starts with the understanding of the cell.
Hence, the study of biology is vital for our children. This book, "Cells For Kids" is a book designed for children with diagrams
so that they can learn everything about animal and plant cells from the start. As parents, we must ingrain their minds and
awaken their curiosity so that they can be ready for this complex and rapidly evolving subject area. Most biology books, be it
for children or adults start with a chapter on the cell. It is here that all biological processes take place. Hence it is vital that
we as parents, teach our children about the cell as early as possible. Some may be able to learn while some may not but at
least it's a step in the right direction. I wrote this book for my own children and I can see that they are now curious about
what a cell is and what exactly does it does? Half of my job is done; this will save me a lot of heartache later on when I am
trying to trying to teach them biology. My ultimate aim would be to get them to study science when they grow up and this
book would be one of their stepping stones. Study of biology will prepare children for a range of careers where they can
make a difference in the world. Here's what's covered in this book about cells. I have included questions after some

Charlotte's Web
E. B. White and Kate DiCamillo
Harper Collins (May 15, 1974)
Summary:
Sixty years ago, on October 15, 1952, E.B. White's Charlotte's Web was published. It's gone on to become one of the most
beloved children's 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 White's 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 DiCamillo's foreword in the 60th anniversary editions of this cherished classic. Charlotte's Web is the
story of a little girl named Fern who loved a little pig named Wilbur—and of Wilbur's 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. White's 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. White's marvelous story, they speak to each new generation, softly and irresistibly.

Code Talker
A Novel about the Navajo Marines of World War Two
Joseph Bruchac
Penguin (2006)
Summary:
"Readers who choose the book for the attraction of Navajo code talking and the heat of battle will come away with more than
they ever expected to find."?Booklist, starred review Throughout World War II, in the conflict fought against Japan, Navajo
code talkers were a crucial part of the U.S. effort, sending messages back and forth in an unbreakable code that used their
native language. They braved some of the heaviest fighting of the war, and with their code, they saved countless American
lives. Yet their story remained classified for more than twenty years. But now Joseph Bruchac brings their stories to life for
young adults through the riveting fictional tale of Ned Begay, a sixteen-year-old Navajo boy who becomes a code talker. His
grueling journey is eye-opening and inspiring. This deeply affecting novel honors all of those young men, like Ned, who
dared to serve, and it honors the culture and language of the Navajo Indians. "Bruchac's gentle prose presents a clear
historical picture of young men in wartime, island hopping across the Pacific, waging war in the hells of Guadalcanal,
Bougainville, and Iwo Jima. Nonsensational and accurate, Bruchac's tale is quietly inspiring..."?School Library Journal

He is a 13-year-old boy living in 14th century England, a time when life was hard for most people. He's less than a serf,
working the land for people who are his betters and totally dependent upon them. He's really a nothing. He doesn't know
why, but he and his mother have always been outcasts in their little village, and everybody seems to hate them. In fact, he is
so despised that he doesn't even have a name -- he's just "Asta's son." The village he lives in is owned entirely by Lord
Furnival, who is always gone fighting wars for the king. So his steward, John Aycliffe, manages all Furnival's property, which
includes the lives of everybody in the village. And Aycliffe seems to hate Asta's son even more than the villagers do. When
Asta dies, her son's life becomes more unbearable than ever. Aycliffe declares that Asta's son must give his only ox to Lord
Furnival's manor as a death tax for his mother. This means that the boy can't work the land for his meager livelihood. Then
Aycliffe accuses Asta's son of stealing and declares him a wolf's head. This means that anybody who meets the boy may kill
him on sight, since a wolf's head is not considered a human being.

Erethizon Dorsatum—better known as Ereth, the self-centered, foul-tempered old porcupine—is having a birthday. And he
fully expects his best friend Poppy, a deer mouse, to help him celebrate in a grand manner. But Poppy has gone off
somewhere with her husband, Rye, and it appears she has forgotten all about it. "Belching Beavers," says Ereth, "I am not
angry!" (Though, perhaps he is—and more than just a little.)Ereth knows his special occasion deserves a special treat—
even if he has to get it for himself. And what treat could be more special than tasty salt? But the nearest salt is located deep
in the forest, in a cabin occupied by fur hunters, who have set out traps to capture the Dimwood Forest animals. In one of
the traps, Ereth finds Leaper the Fox—who, with her dying breath, begs the prickly porcupine to take care of her three
boisterous young kits, Tumble, Nimble, and Flip. "Jellied walrus warts!" Ereth exclaims, but reluctantly agrees.Certainly this
day is not going as he planned—and it's only just the beginning! Not only does Ereth suddenly have a rambunctious new
family to take care of, but he's being stalked by Marty the Fisher, the one creature in Dimwood Forest who can do him harm.
And Bounder, the father of the three little foxes, remembers all too well the nose full of quills he got a while back from the
grumpy old animal who now fancies himself the leader of the den. He too sets out to show Ereth who's boss. Throw in an
unexpected snowstorm, and all in all, it adds up to one brithday Ereth the porcupine is never going to forget, not even if he
lives to be a hundred and twenty-two!

Farewell to Manzanar
Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston and James D. Houston
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (April 29, 2002)
Summary:
During World War II a community called Manzanar was hastily created in the high mountain desert country of California,
east of the Sierras. Its purpose was to house thousands of Japanese American internees. One of the first families to arrive
was the Wakatsukis, who were ordered to leave their fishing business in Long Beach and take with them only the belongings
they could carry. For Jeanne Wakatsuki, a seven-year-old child, Manzanar became a way of life in which she struggled and
adapted, observed and grew. For her father it was essentially the end of his life. At age thirty-seven, Jeanne Wakatsuki
Houston recalls life at Manzanar through the eyes of the child she was. She tells of her fear, confusion, and bewilderment as
well as the dignity and great resourcefulness of people in oppressive and demeaning circumstances. Written with her
husband, Jeanne delivers a powerful first-person account that reveals her search for the meaning of Manzanar.Farewell to
Manzanar has become a staple of curriculum in schools and on campuses across the country. Last year the San Francisco
Chronicle named it one of the twentieth century’s 100 best nonfiction books from west of the Rockies. First published in
1973, this new edition of the classic memoir of a devastating Japanese American experience includes an inspiring afterword
by the authors.

Forces of Change
A New View of Nature
Daniel B. Botkin and National Geographic Society (U.S.)
National Geographic Society (2000)
Summary:
Forces of Change takes readers on an unforgettable tour of truly global proportions. In this single volume, more than 20 of
the world's most innovative and visionary scientists, writers, and scholars -- including Stephen Jay Gould, John McPhee,
Lynn Margulis, Daniel Botkin, and David Quammen -- illuminate the forces that define and continue to profoundly transform
our planet and all of its inhabitants. Taken together, these essays represent a dramatic range of new views and
understandings about nature that have emerged over the last century. Developed by the Smithsonian Institution and the
National Geographic Society, Forces of Change brings together for the first time the matchless resources of two world-
renowned institutions in order to present a bold new vision of the world, which stresses the diversity, interrelatedness, and
interdependence of all natural phenomena. In this vision the Earth can be viewed as a grand network of life-supporting
forces operating within a single dynamic system. Powerfully punctuated by epic photographs, eloquent illustrations, and a
wonderfully dynamic design, Forces of Change is at once highly accessible and deeply thought-provoking. Full of sidebars
that lucidly unpack the latest field research, the essays take readers around the world -- from the peaks of the Himalaya to
the mysterious depths of the sea, and from the Ladakh cultures of northern India to the A'ani and Assiniboine tribes of
Montana. Published in conjunction with a new permanent exhibit program at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural
History, Forces of Change is a timely and vitally important consideration of science and fate at the dawn of the 21st century.

Freedom Riders
John Lewis and Jim Zwerg on the Front Lines of the Civil Rights Movement
Ann Bausum
National Geographic (2006)
Summary:
How did two youths-one raised in an all-black community in the deep South, the other brought up with only whites in the
Midwest-become partners for freedom during the civil rights movement of the 1960s? Freedom Riders compares and
contrasts the childhoods of John Lewis and James Zwerg in a way that helps young readers understand the segregated
experience of our nation's past. It shows how a common interest in justice created the convergent path that enabled these
young men to meet. This book introduces young readers (grade 5 and up) to the concept of nonviolent resistance as
practiced by Zwerg, Lewis, and their classmates in Nashville, Tennessee. These students broke the color barrier at local
movie theaters using this form of protest. Freedom Riders conveys the history of the Freedom Rides through the shared
experiences of Lewis and Zwerg. No other book on the subject has used such a personal perspective. These two young
men, empowered by their successes in Nashville, were among those who volunteered to continue the Freedom Rides after
violence in Anniston, Alabama, left the original bus in flames with the riders injured and in retreat. Lewis and Zwerg joined
the cause knowing their own fate could be equally harsh, if not worse, when the Freedom Ride penetrated deeper into the
South. When these new participants arrived in Montgomery, Alabama, Zwerg and Lewis were singled out by a mob
numbering in the hundreds armed with chains, bats, and hammers. The two youths were nearly beaten to death before
police stepped forward to end the violence. The two surviving photographs from their experience provide testimony to the
severity of their attacks. Release of these images along with accounts of the violence in Montgomery served to focus
national attention on the Freedom Rides. Waves of volunteers came South to continue them. Freedom Riders summarizes
the history of the subsequent rides and their success at ending discriminatory seating on Southern interstate bus service. It
concludes by relating the divergent paths of Lewis and Zwerg. Lewis rose to prominence with continued participation in the
civil rights movement. He became a U.S. Congress member in 1986. Zwerg, at the encouragement of Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr., took up the ministry, a career he continued for 20 years until turning to community service and business. The book
is stunningly illustrated with 50 duotoned historical photos and detailed maps. It includes a resource guide of landmarks and
references and a related chronology.

Heart of a Samurai
Margi Preus
Harry N. Abrams (February 1, 2012)
Summary:
In 1841 a Japanese fishing vessel sinks. Its crew is forced to swim to a small, unknown island, where they are rescued by a
passing American ship. Japan's borders remain closed to all Western nations, so the crew sets off to America, learning
English on the way. Manjiro, a 14-year-old boy, is curious and eager to learn everything he can about this new culture.
Eventually the captain adopts Manjiro and takes him to his home in New England. The boy lives there for some time and
then heads to San Francisco to pan for gold. After many years, he makes it back to Japan, only to be imprisoned as an
outsider. With his hard-won knowledge of the West, Manjiro is in a unique position to persuade the emperor to ease open
the boundaries around Japan; he may even achieve his unlikely dream of becoming a samurai. Heart of a Samurai is a 2011
Newbery Honor Book. Accolades and Praise for Heart of a Samurai2011 Newbery Honor Book New York Times
BestsellerNPR Backseat Book Club pick "A terrifc biographical novel by Margi Preus." -Wall Street Journal *STARRED
REVIEW* "It's a classic fish-out-of-water story (although this fish goes into the water repeatedly), and it's precisely this
classic structure that gives the novel the sturdy bones of a timeless tale. Backeted by gritty seafaring episodes--salty and
bloody enough to assure us that Preus has done her research--the book's heart is its middle section, in which Manjiro,
allegedly the first Japanese to set foot in America, deals with the prejudice and promise of a new world. By Japanese
tradition, Manjiro was destined to be no more than a humble fisherman, but when his 10-year saga ends, he has become so
much more." --Booklist, starred review *STARRED REVIEW*"Illustrated with Manjiro's own pencil drawings in addition to
other archival material and original art from Tamaki, this is a captivating fictionalized (although notably faithful) retelling of
the boy's adventures. Capturing his wonder, remarkable willingness to learn, the prejudice he encountered and the way he
eventually influenced officials in Japan to open the country, this highly entertaining page-turner."--Kirkus Reviews, starred
review *STARRED REVIEW* "Stunning debut novel. Preus places readers in the young man's shoes, whether he is on a
ship or in a Japanese prison. Her deftness in writing is evident in two poignant scenes, one in which Manjiro realizes the
similarities between the Japanese and the Americans and the other when he reunites with his Japanese family." --School
Library Journal, starred review *STARRED REVIEW* "Preus mixes fact with fiction in a tale that is at once adventurous,
heartwarming, sprawling, and nerve-racking in its depictions of early anti-Asian sentiment. She succeeds in making readers
feel every bit as "other" as Manjiro, while showing America at its best and worst through his eyes." --Publishers Weekly,
starred review "First-time novelist Preus turns the true story of Manjiro into an action-packed boy's adventure tale." --Horn

Island of the Blue Dolphins
Scott O'Dell
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (1960)
Summary:
1961 Newbery Medal Winner Far off the coast of California looms a harsh rock known as the island of San Nicholas.
Dolphins flash in the blue waters around it, sea otter play in the vast kep beds, and sea elephants loll on the stony
beaches.Here, in the early 1800s, according to history, an Indian girl spent eighteen years alone, and this beautifully written
novel is her story. It is a romantic adventure filled with drama and heartache, for not only was mere subsistence on so
desolate a spot a near miracle, but Karana had to contend with the ferocious pack of wild dogs that had killed her younger
brother, constantly guard against the Aleutian sea otter hunters, and maintain a precarious food supply.More than this, it is
an adventure of the spirit that will haunt the reader long after the book has been put down. Karana's quiet courage, her
Indian self-reliance and acceptance of fate, transform what to many would have been a devastating ordeal into an uplifting
experience. From loneliness and terror come strength and serenity in this Newbery Medal-winning classic.

A Children's Story

Penguin (1961)
Summary:
From the bestselling author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG! Roald Dahl was a champion of the
underdog and all things little--in this case, an orphaned boy oppressed by two nasty, self-centered aunts. How James
escapes his miserable life with the horrible aunts and becomes a hero is a Dahlicious fantasy of the highest order. You will
never forget resourceful little James and his new family of magically overgrown insects--a ladybug, a spider, a grasshopper,
a glowworm, a silkworm, and the chronic complainer, a centipede with a hundred gorgeous shoes. Their adventures aboard
a luscious peach as large as a house take them across the Atlantic Ocean, through waters infested with peach-eating
sharks and skies inhabited by malevolent Cloudmen, to a ticker-tape parade in New York City. This happily ever after
contemporary fairy tale is a twentieth-century classic that every child deserves to know. And Lane Smith's endearingly funny
illustrations are a perfect match for the text. All the gruesome imagery of old-fashioned fairy tales and a good measure of
their breathtaking delight. --Kirkus Reviews A stunning book, to be cherished for its story, a superb fantasy. --The Chicago
Tribune The most original fantasy that has been published in a long time...[it] may well become a classic. --San Francisco

Living on
Portraits of Tennessee Survivors and Liberators : a Project of the Tennessee
Holocaust Commission
Tennessee Holocaust Commission
University of Tennessee Press (2008)
Summary:
Living On is a documentary project that includes portraits of survivors, liberators, U. S. Army witnesses, hidden children, and
refugees from the Holocaust now living in Tennessee. These individuals lived through one of the most catastrophic periods
in human history. They are witnesses to horrific events that have defied human imagination, then and now. Their stories,
faces, and voices provide separate testimony into how the unthinkable happened and how its consequences created a
lasting impact that has relevance today. Each of these courageous individuals was willing to revisit painful memories, telling
his or her story in hopes that history might never repeat itself. Through the accounts of Holocaust survivors and liberators
included in this book, readers become witnesses to an important and frightening period when government leaders
persecuted and killed ordinary citizens because of who they were. Their stories of strength and courage serve as a
permanent reminder that nothing can ever extinguish the light of the human spirit. Through the Living On project, the
Tennessee Holocaust Commission created a traveling exhibition of photographs and stories that became the basis of this
book. Living On gives voice to storytellers whose ability to testify may soon be lost through age and frailty. Living On also
offers readers and viewers the opportunity to meet fellow citizens through the medium of photographic portrait and
biographical sketch when physical encounters prove impossible. The book stands as a powerful testament to human
resiliency in spite of the efforts, inspired by fanatical race hatred, to eliminate the very faces and voices it captures. Living
On is a project of the Tennessee Holocaust Commission. For more information on the exhibit, please visit
http://www.tennesseeholocaustcommission.org. Robert Heller is an associate professor in the School of Journalism and
Electronic Media at the University of Tennessee. He teaches photojournalism and graphic design and is the author of More

Summary:
"Everyone gets mad at hustlers, especially if you're on the victim side of the hustle. And Miles knew hustling was in his
veins." Miles Morales is just your average teenager. Dinner every Sunday with his parents, chilling out playing old-school

prestigious Brooklyn Visions Academy. Oh yeah, and he's Spider Man. But lately, Miles's spidey-sense has been on the fritz.
When a misunderstanding leads to his suspension from school, Miles begins to question his abilities. After all, his dad and
uncle were Brooklyn jack-boys with criminal records. Maybe kids like Miles aren't meant to be superheroes. Maybe Miles
should take his dad's advice and focus on saving himself. As Miles tries to get his school life back on track, he can't shake
the vivid nightmares that continue to haunt him. Nor can he avoid the relentless buzz of his spidey-sense every day in
history class, amidst his teacher's lectures on the historical benefits of slavery and the modern-day prison system. But after
his scholarship is threatened, Miles uncovers a chilling plot, one that puts his friends, his neighborhood, and himself at risk.
It's time for Miles to suit up.

Mine Eyes Have Seen
Bob Adelman and Charles Johnson
Liberty Street (November 20, 2007)
Summary:
This is a book about a time, a people - and a cause. It is a passionate chronicle of one of the epic undertakings in American
history, the struggle during the second half of the twentieth century for civil rights. It is a story about a nation fighting to make
itself whole. Bob Adelman witnessed that fight and recorded it with his camera. This is his testament.Growing up, Adelman
knew that what was most un-American about America was its mistreatment of blacks. Stirred by the heroic students whose
sit-ins were breaking the shackles of segregation, he felt called to join and lend his skills as a photographer to the cause.
The Movement became his mission. Adelman was there: in Birmingham, in Selma, in Washington. He was by Martin Luther
King Jr.'s side, at Malcolm X's speeches and funeral, in the trenches and in the marches. He was there, as well, in the Bed
Stuy ghetto, on the streets of Newark during the riots, in Harlem schools, on Beale Street in Memphis, in the plantation fields
and at the quilting bee in Gee's Bend, Alabama. He had a great calling and now looks back with this book.Mine Eyes Have
Seen tells what life was like, why change was needed and how change was effected, sometimes in the face of violence.
Adelman's commentary and reminiscences further illuminate his stunning documentary photography and portraiture. Essays
by the National Book Award-winning novelist Charles Johnson explain why this man's photographs constitute a vital,
definitive record of the quest for equality. "With compassion and courage - since taking photos in the Jim Crow South often
put his own life at risk - Bob Adelman conjured the humanity, grace and dignity of his subjects," writes Johnson. "That
quotidian humanity is everywhere evident in Mine Eyes Have Seen."Through his eyes, the Civil Rights Movement is
presented as such a human story. To visit these pages is to be there. Bob Adelman's view was unique - and uniquely
informed. His subjects knew which side he was on. And he stayed the course. He was there in the 1950s as the struggle
was beginning and still present in 1998 when the last of these photographs was taken, Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama
shaking hands with Prince Arnold, the black sheriff of Wilcox County.Some of these iconic images seem like small miracles.
Mine Eyes Have Seen is Adelman's testament to a time, a people and a cause that he believed in and believes in still.

see their grandmother off on a trip. Jeremy's friend Josias Williams is taking the bus to his new job. But Josias and the
Logans are black, and in Mississippi in the 1930s, black people can't ride the bus if that means there won't be enough room

Moon Over Manifest
Clare Vanderpool
Yearling (2011)
Summary:
Winner of the 2011 Newbery Award.The movement of the train rocked me like a lullaby. I closed my eyes to the dusty
countryside and imagined the sign I'd seen only in Gideon's stories: Manifest—A Town with a rich past and a bright future.
Abilene Tucker feels abandoned. Her father has put her on a train, sending her off to live with an old friend for the summer
while he works a railroad job. Armed only with a few possessions and her list of universals, Abilene jumps off the train in
Manifest, Kansas, aiming to learn about the boy her father once was.Having heard stories about Manifest, Abilene is
disappointed to find that it's just a dried-up, worn-out old town. But her disappointment quickly turns to excitement when she
discovers a hidden cigar box full of mementos, including some old letters that mention a spy known as the Rattler. These
mysterious letters send Abilene and her new friends, Lettie and Ruthanne, on an honest-to-goodness spy hunt, even though
they are warned to “Leave Well Enough Alone.”Abilene throws all caution aside when she heads down the mysterious Path
to Perdition to pay a debt to the reclusive Miss Sadie, a diviner who only tells stories from the past. It seems that Manifest's
history is full of colorful and shadowy characters—and long-held secrets. The more Abilene hears, the more determined she
is to learn just what role her father played in that history. And as Manifest's secrets are laid bare one by one, Abilene begins
to weave her own story into the fabric of the town. Powerful in its simplicity and rich in historical detail, Clare Vanderpool's
debut is a gripping story of loss and redemption.From the Hardcover edition.

Weatherford and bestselling artist Kadir Nelson offer a resounding, reverent tribute to Harriet Tubman, the woman who
earned the name Moses for her heroic role in the Underground Railroad.I set the North Star in the heavens and I mean for
you to be free...Born into slavery, Harriet Tubman hears these words from God one summer night and decides to leave her
husband and family behind and escape. Taking with her only her faith, she must creep through woods with hounds at her
feet, sleep for days in a potato hole, and trust people who could have easily turned her in. But she was never alone.In lyrical
text, Carole Boston Weatherford describes Tubman's spiritual journey as she hears the voice of God guiding her north to
freedom on that very first trip to escape the brutal practice of forced servitude. Tubman would make nineteen subsequent
trips back south, never being caught, but none as profound as this first one. Courageous, compassionate, and deeply
religious, Harriet Tubman, with her bravery and relentless pursuit of freedom, is a testament to the resilience of the human
spirit.

grade-and-up students are right there ... visualizing ... understanding ... and remembering!Best of all, little is overlooked that
will contribute to the readers' total appreciation of a culture. Be it sagas of Vikings or folktales of trolls. Or even
acknowledgment of modern Vikings like Thor Heyerdahl. There's mystery such as England's Stonehenge and Egypt's Great
Pyramids ... plus nature's wonders -- like Australia's egg-laying platypus and China's gentle but rare pandas. Everything is
there ... to be enjoyed, relished, and learned from.Each book also includes a chapter of brief biographies of important
people. And each features an 8-10 page reference section of "quick facts", perfect for students' research, about such
subjects as population, government, geographical data, currency, and historical chronology. Throughout, all the books are
ablaze with a generous amount of beautiful full-color photographs."Enchantment of the World" can be of equal importance in
the library or social studies classroom. Either way, it's a series that students will go back to again and again.

Boston Globe-Horn Book Award Winner * ALA Notable Book * ALA Booklist Editors’ Choice * School Library Journal Best
BookIn the second book in the Tales of Dimwood Forest by Newbery Medal-winning author Avi, a tiny deer mouse named
Poppy dares to stand up to a tyrannical owl. The story is accompanied by inviting illustrations from Caldecott Medal-winning
artist Brian Floca. “This exciting story is richly visual. The underlying messages, to challenge unjust authority and to rely on
logic and belief in oneself, are palatably blended with action and suspense.” — School Library JournalPoppy knew she was
taking a risk following her beloved Ragweed to Bannock Hill, but a night of dancing with the handsome golden mouse was
just too tempting. So when Ragweed is scooped up by the sinister owl, Mr. Ocax, who rules over Dimwood forest, she’s
devastated. Her whole life she was warned of Mr. Ocax’s evil ways…how could she have been so foolish to put herself and
Ragweed at risk?To make matters worse, when Poppy attempts to move with her family to a different part of the woods
where the food supply is richer, Mr. Ocax refuses to let them go. Despite what she’s been led to believe for years, Mr. Ocax
is not as strong as he wants the mice to think he is. Armed with the bravery, gumption, and wit of a hero, Poppy embarks on
a dangerous quest—joined by the irascible but lovable porcupine, Ereth—to defeat Mr. Ocax and lead her family to a better
home. A perennially popular story of courage and determination, Poppy is a fixture on state award lists and in classrooms
across the country.

In June 1861, when the Civil War began, Charley Goddard enlisted in the First Minnesota Volunteers. He was 15. He didn't
know what a "shooting war" meant or what he was fighting for. But he didn't want to miss out on a great adventure. The
"shooting war" turned out to be the horror of combat and the wild luck of survival; how it feels to cross a field toward the
enemy, waiting for fire. When he entered the service he was a boy. When he came back he was different; he was only 19,
but he was a man with "soldier's heart," later known as "battle fatigue."

The Battle of Gettysburg as Told from All Sides
Jennifer L. Weber
National Geographic (2010)
Summary:
Timed for the Civil War anniversary in 2011, this book powerfully illustrates a true turning point in American history.
Gettysburg expert Jennifer Weber tells the story of the momentous battle through the voices of those who were there, a
unique approach that makes this title stand out from all others.Gripping eyewitness accounts, archival photographs, and
dramatic artwork combine with the latest research to portray the Battle of Gettysburg from all sides--Yankees and Rebels,
officers and foot soldiers, men and women, townspeople and outside observers. Through their eyes, today's students get a
real sense of how a chance meeting on a dusty road exploded into three days of intense combat. Maps specially created by
National Geographic cartographers help us follow all the action of the vicious and complex battle, during which more than
50,000 people were killed, wounded, or taken prisoner. Names such as Little Round Top, the Peach Orchard, and Pickett's
Charge take on new meaning as young readers learn about the incredible sacrifices made--often by people still in their
teens. National Geographic supports K-12 educators with ELA Common Core Resources.Visit

Tennesseans and Their History
Paul H. Bergeron, Jeanette Keith, and Stephen V. Ash
Univ. of Tennessee Press (1999)
Summary:
The history of Tennessee is full of dramatic episodes and colorful characters that give the Volunteer State a major place in
the American saga. From the bloody battle of Shiloh in 1862 to the Dayton "monkey trial" of 1925 to the assassination of
Martin Luther King in Memphis in 1968, Tennessee has been the locale for many of America's most important events. This
new book presents a synthesis of Tennessee history from earliest times to the present. Striking a balance of social,
economic, and political perspectives, it moves from frontier times to early statehood, antebellum society through the Civil
War to Reconstruction, then establishes Tennessee's place in the New South and in modern times. Full coverage is devoted
to the Civil Rights era and to events in the later years of this century, including environmental issues. The text deals honestly
with slavery and segregation and also corrects shortcomings of previous works by placing the state's history in the context of
national issues and events within the South. The authors introduce readers to famous personages like Andrew Jackson and
Austin Peay, often using quotations to give them voice. They also tell stories of ordinary people and their lives to show how
they are an integral part of history. Sidebars throughout the text highlight stories of particular interest, and reading lists at the
end of chapters further enhance the text's utility. Tennesseans and Their History was written for students needing a basic
introduction to state history and to general readers looking for a lively introduction to Tennessee's past. Written to be
entertaining as well as instructive, it makes the state's history relevant to a new generation of Tennesseans. The Authors:
Paul H. Bergerson is professor of history at the University of Tennessee and the editor of The Papers of Andrew Johnson.
Stephen V. Ash is associate professor of history at the University of Tennessee and author of Middle Tennessee
Transformed, 1860-1870: War and Peace in the Upper South. Jeanette Keith is associate professor of history at Bloomsburg
University and the author of Country People in the New South: Tennessee's Upper Cumberland.

Tennessee Post Office Murals
Howard Hull
The Overmountain Press (1996)
Summary:
The United States government got into the art business when it instituted a series of programs to keep artists working during
the Depression years. Tennessee received its fair share, and most of the original thirty are still in existence. A few have been
moved to different locations, but the author notes that most of the murals “are still on that same wall in the same small post
office in that same small town where they were placed so long ago.” Unfortunately, many people are not aware of these

Scholastic Press (2009)
Summary:
Thirteen-year-old twins Marty and Grace O'Hara's globe-trotting parents disappeared while on assignment for a nature
magazine, and now they're living with their uncle Wolfe, a scientist fascinated by cryptids -- creatures that appear in myths
and folktales but haven't been proven to exist, like Sasquatch and the Loch Ness Monster. Uncle Wolfe is planning an
expedition to New Zealand, and he doesn't really have room for two kids on his crew, despite the fact that he's rented a
huge (and possibly haunted) freighter for the trip. But Marty and Grace will do anything to see the Kraken, the gigantic squid
that has terrified sailors for centuries! Unfortunately, someone on board the ship is determined to sabotage their mission and
if they're not careful, Marty and Grace just might become the saboteur's next victims. Roland Smith brings his trademark flair
for action, adventure, and exciting storytelling to his Scholastic debut and it's sure to leave young readers clamoring for
more!

The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
Benjamin Franklin
Courier Corporation (June 7, 1996)
Summary:
Blessed with enormous talents and the energy and ambition to go with them, Franklin was a statesman, author, inventor,
printer, and scientist. He helped draft the Declaration of Independence and later was involved in negotiating the peace treaty
with Britain that ended the Revolutionary War. He also invented bifocals, a stove that is still manufactured, a water-
harmonica, and the lightning rod. Franklin's extraordinary range of interests and accomplishments are brilliantly recorded in
his Autobiography, considered one of the classics of the genre. Covering his life up to his prewar stay in London as
representative of the Pennsylvania Assembly, this charming self-portrait recalls Franklin's boyhood, his determination to
achieve high moral standards, his work as a printer, experiments with electricity, political career, experiences during the
French and Indian War, and more. Related in an honest, open, unaffected style, this highly readable account offers a
wonderfully intimate glimpse of the Founding Father sometimes called "the wisest American."

awakening and she feels spirits everywhere--intense and sometimes overwhelming. Eager to get her supernatural abilities
under control, Sunshine agrees to begin training with her mentor, her estranged father Aidan. He takes her to an abandoned
compound deep in the Mexican jungle. But what she learns there about her powers, and her family history, turns out to be
more terrifying than Sunshine could have imagined. Can anything--Aiden's experiments, her friendship with another luiseach
named Lucio, even Nolan's research--prepare Sunshine to face the frightening woman who haunts her dreams, and to
finally learn the truth about the rift that threatens the future of the luiseach and all of humankind?"--Jacket.

Summary:
Omakayas, a seven-year-old Native American girl of the Ojibwa tribe, lives through the joys of summer and the perils of
winter on an island in Lake Superior in 1847. For as long as Omakayas can remember, she and her family have lived on the
land her people call the Island of the Golden-Breasted Woodpecker. Although the chimookoman, white people, encroach
more and more on their land, life continues much as it always has. Every summer the family builds a new birchbark house;
every fall they go to ricing camp to harvest and feast; they move to the cedar log house before the first snows arrive, and
celebrate the end of the long, cold winters at maple-sugaring camp. In between, Omakayas fights with her annoying little
brother, Pinch, plays with the adorable baby, Neewo, and tries to be grown-up like her beautiful older sister, Angeline. But
the satisfying rhythms of their lives are shattered when a visitor comes to their lodge one winter night, bringing with him an
invisible enemy that will change things forever. Set on an island in Lake Superior in 1847, and filled with fascinating details
of traditional Ojibwa life, The Birchbark House is a breathtaking novel by one of America's most gifted and original writers.

include tunnels and pipes, creatures' burrows, layers of rock and the planet’s molten core, and run seamlessly into the next.
Mixing urban and rural settings, covering subjects such as geology, archaeology and natural history, The Street Beneath My
Feet offers children the opportunity to explore their world through a detailed learning experience. And its fold-out, 'laperello’
style, which extends to eight feet in length, is ideal for spreading out on the floor to pore over for hours.

The View from Saturday
E.L. Konigsburg
Atheneum Books for Young Readers (February 1, 1998)
Summary:
HOW HAD MRS. OLINSKI CHOSEN her sixth-grade Academic Bowl team? She had a number of answers. But were any of
them true? How had she really chosen Noah and Nadia and Ethan and Julian? And why did they make such a good team?
It was a surprise to a lot of people when Mrs. Olinski's team won the sixth-grade Academic Bowl contest at Epiphany Middle
School. It was an even bigger surprise when they beat the seventh grade and the eighth grade, too. And when they went on
to even greater victories, everyone began to ask: How did it happen? It happened at least partly because Noah had been
the best man (quite by accident) at the wedding of Ethan's grandmother and Nadia's grandfather. It happened because
Nadia discovered that she could not let a lot of baby turtles die. It happened when Ethan could not let Julian face disaster
alone. And it happened because Julian valued something important in himself and saw in the other three something he also
valued. Mrs. Olinski, returning to teaching after having been injured in an automobile accident, found that her Academic
Bowl team became her answer to finding confidence and success. What she did not know, at least at first, was that her team
knew more than she did the answer to why they had been chosen. This is a tale about a team, a class, a school, a series of
contests and, set in the midst of this, four jewel-like short stories -- one for each of the team members -- that ask questions
and demonstrate surprising answers.

the chance to explore and discover. But the personal journey she takes brings her deeper into a forgotten past than she ever
knew she could travel to. Sophie's thirteen-year-old cousin Cody isn't even sure why his father brought him along on this
voyage. Everyone, including his dad, thinks he's nothing but a knuckle headed doofus. But behind all the goofing off, he
wonders if he has the strength to prove himself to the crew and to his father. Through Sophie's and Cody's travel logs, the
amazing experiences of these six wanderers and their perilous journey unfold. Stories of the past and the daily challenges to
survive at sea swirl together as The Wanderer sails toward its destination, and its passengers search for their places in the

Summary:
"A stunning graphic memoir recounting actor/author/activist George Takei's childhood imprisoned within American
concentration camps during World War II. Experience the forces that shaped an American icon -- and America itself -- in this
gripping tale of courage, country, loyalty, and love. George Takei has captured hearts and minds worldwide with his
captivating stage presence and outspoken commitment to equal rights. But long before he braved new frontiers in Star Trek,
he woke up as a four-year-old boy to find his own birth country at war with his father's -- and their entire family forced from
their home into an uncertain future. In 1942, at the order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, every person of Japanese
descent on the west coast was rounded up and shipped to one of ten 'relocation centers', hundreds or thousands of miles
from home, where they would be held for years under armed guard. They Called Us Enemy is Takei's firsthand account of
those years behind barbed wire, the joys and terrors of growing up under legalized racism, his mother's hard choices, his
father's faith in democracy, and the way those experiences planted the seeds for his astonishing future. What is American?
Who gets to decide? When the world is against you, what can one person do?"--

stone, and bordered with the tall bushes which met overhead, making a green roof. All sorts of neglected flowers and wild
weeds grew between their stems, covering the walls of this summer parlor with the prettiest tapestry. A board, propped on
two blocks of wood, stood in the middle of the walk, covered with a little plaid shawl much the worse for wear, and on it a
miniature tea-service was set forth with great elegance.

We Are the Ship
The Story of Negro League Baseball
Kadir Nelson
Hyperion Book CH (January 8, 2008)
Summary:
“We are the ship; all else the sea.”—Rube Foster, founder of the Negro National League The story of Negro League
baseball is the story of gifted athletes and determined owners; of racial discrimination and international sportsmanship; of
fortunes won and lost; of triumphs and defeats on and off the field. It is a perfect mirror for the social and political history of
black America in the first half of the twentieth century. But most of all, the story of the Negro Leagues is about hundreds of
unsung heroes who overcame segregation, hatred, terrible conditions, and low pay to do the one thing they loved more than
anything else in the world: play ball. Using an “Everyman” player as his narrator, Kadir Nelson tells the story of Negro
League baseball from its beginnings in the 1920s through its decline after Jackie Robinson crossed over to the majors in
1947. The voice is so authentic, you will feel as if you are sitting on dusty bleachers listening intently to the memories of a
man who has known the great ballplayers of that time and shared their experiences. But what makes this book so
outstanding are the dozens of full-page and double-page oil paintings—breathtaking in their perspectives, rich in emotion,
and created with understanding and affection for these lost heroes of our national game.We Are the Ship is a tour de force
for baseball lovers of all ages.

Eight True-life Stories of Nazi Persecution
Michael Leapman
Viking (1998)
Summary:
Joseph Steiner and his sister were eight and eleven when the Jews were rounded-up from the Warsaw ghetto. For weeks
they hid in abandoned warehouses, escaping only hours before the ghetto was obliterated. When Alexander Michelowski
was ten, he was taken from his home in Poland by the Gestapo and sent away for "Germanization", and later to a Hitler
Youth Camp. Beata Siegel was sent from Germany to England on the Kindertransporte. It was to be nine years before she
saw her mother again.Witnesses to War tells the story of how these children and others from across Europe endured
persecution at the hands of the Nazis. Award-winning journalist Michael Leapman provides valuable background and insight
into their histories, but it is the stories themselves -- vivid, unembellished and utterly compelling -- that stand as the finest
testimony to the courage of the children of the Second World War.

Zlata's Diary
A Child's Life in Sarajevo
Zlata Filipović
Viking (1994)
Summary:
In a voice both innocent and wise, touchingly reminiscent of Anne Frank's, Zlata Filipovic's diary has awoken the conscience
of the world. Now thirteen years old, Zlata began her diary just before her eleventh birthday, when there was peace in
Sarajevo and her life was that of a bright, intelligent, carefree young girl. Her early entries describe her friends, her new skis,
her family, her grades at school, her interest in joining the Madonna Fan Club. And then, on television, she sees the bombs
falling on Dubrovnik. Though repelled by the sight, Zlata cannot conceive of the same thing happening in Sarajevo. When it
does, the whole tone of her diary changes.Early on, she starts an entry to "Dear Mimmy" (named after her dead goldfish):
"SLAUGHTERHOUSE! MASSACRE! HORROR! CRIMES! BLOOD! SCREAMS! DESPAIR!" We see the world of a child
increasingly circumscribed by the violence outside. Zlata is confined to her family's apartment, spending the nights, as the
shells rain down mercilessly, in a neighbor's cellar. And the danger outside steadily invades her life. No more school. Living
without water and electricity. Food in short supply. The onslaught destroys the pieces she loves, kills or injures her friends,
visibly ages her parents. In one entry Zlata cries out, "War has nothing to do with humanity. War is something inhuman." In
another, she thinks about killing herself. Yet, with indomitable courage and a clarity of mind well beyond her years, Zlata
preserves what she can of her former existence, continuing to study piano, to find books to read, to celebrate special
occasions - recording it all in the pages of this extraordinary diary.
