Book excerpt: From acclaimed Nigerian storyteller Atinuke, the first in a series of chapter books set in contemporary West Africa introduces a little girl who has enchanted young readers.

Anna is never lonely—there are always cousins to play and fight with, aunties and uncles laughing and shouting, and parents and grandparents close by.

Nigerian storyteller Atinuke’s debut book for children and its sequels, with their charming (and abundant) gray-scale drawings by Lauren Tobia, are newly published in the US by Candlewick Press, joining other celebrated Atinuke stories in captivating young readers.

Book excerpt: AND now," asked Miss Forsyth thoughtfully, "and now, my dear Mary, what, may I ask, areyou going to do about your good old Anna?""Do about Anna?" repeated the other. "I don't quite understand what you mean."In her heart Mrs. Otway thought she understood very well what her old friend, MissForsyth, meant by the question. For it was Wednesday, the 5th of August, 1914. Englandhad just declared war on Germany, and Anna was Mrs. Otway's faithful, highly valuedGerman servant.Miss Forsyth was one of those rare people who always require an answer to a question, and who also (which is rarer still) seldom speak without having first thought out what theyare about to say. It was this quality of mind, far more than the fact that she had been born, sixty years ago, in the Palace at Witanbury, which gave her the position she held in thesociety of the cathedral town.But this time she herself went on speaking: "In your place I should think very seriously ofsending Anna back to Germany." There was an unusual note of hesitation and of doubt inher voice. As a rule Miss Forsyth knew exactly what she thought about everything, andwhat she herself would be minded to do in any particular case.But the other lady, incensed at what she considered uncalled-for, even ratherimpertinent advice, replied sharply, "I shouldn't think of doing anything so unkind and sounjust! Why, because the powers of evil have conquered-I mean by that the dreadfulGerman military party-should I behave unjustly to a faithful old German woman who hasbeen with me-let me see-why, who has been with me exactly eighteen years? With theexception of a married niece with whom she went and stayed in Berlin three autumns ago, my poor old Anna hasn't a relation left in Germany. Her whole life is centred in me-orperhaps I ought to say in Rose. She was the only nurse Rose ever had.""And yet she has remained typically German," observed Miss Forsyth irrelevantly."Of course she has!" cried Mrs. Otway quickly. "And that is why we are both so muchattached to her. Anna has all the virtues of the German woman; she is faithful, kindly, industrious, and thrifty.""But, Mary, has it not occurred to you that you will find it very awkward sometimes?"Again without waiting for an answer, Miss Forsyth went on: "Our working people have longfelt it very hard that there should be so many Germans in England, taking away their jo
Download or read book Stasiland written by Anna Funder and published by Odyssey Editions. This book was released on 2015-10-29 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stasiland tells true stories of people who heroically resisted the communist dictatorship of East Germany, and of people who worked for its secret police, the Stasi. Internationally hailed as a classic, it is ‘fascinating, entertaining, hilarious, horrifying and very important’ (Tom Hanks) and ‘a heartbreaking, beautifully written book.’ (Claire Tomalin). East Germany was one of the most intrusive surveillance states of all time. One in 7 people spied on their friends, family and colleagues. In ‘the most humane and sensitive way’ (J.M. Coetzee) Funder tells the true stories of four people who had the extraordinary courage to refuse to collaborate with the Stasi, and the price they paid. She meets Miriam Weber, who was imprisoned at 16 after scaling the Berlin Wall. She drinks with the legendary “Mik Jegger” of the Eastern Bloc who was ‘disappeared’. And she finds former Stasi men who defend their regime long past its demise, and yearn for the second coming of Communism. Stasiland won the Samuel Johnson Prize for best non-fiction published in English in 2004. It was a finalist for the Guardian First Book Award, the W.H. Heinemann Award, the Index Freedom of Expression Awards, The Age Book of the Year Awards, the Queensland Premier’s Literary Award and the Adelaide Festival Awards for Literature (Innovation in Writing). It is read in schools and universities in many countries, and has been adapted for CD and the stage by The National Theatre, London.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Anna Shinoda’s deeply informed story is not to be missed.” —Dr. Drew Pinsky, Celebrity Rehab and Teen Mom Family secrets cut to the bone in this mesmerizing debut novel about a teen whose drug-addicted brother is the prodigal son one time too many. There is a pecking order to every family. Seventeen-year-old Clare is the overprotected baby; Peter is the typical, rebellious middle child; and Luke is the can’t-do-wrong favorite. In their eyes, they are a normal, happy family. But sometimes it’s the people who are closest to us who are the hardest to see. Clare loves her older brother, Luke—it’s not his fault that he’s always in the wrong place at the wrong time. Life as Luke’s sister hasn’t been easy—their community hasn’t been nearly as forgiving of his transgressions as she and her parents are—but he’s done his time and is on his way home again, and she has to believe this time will be different. But when the truths behind his arrests begin to surface, everything Clare’s always known is shaken to its core. Clare has to decide if sticking up for herself and her future means selfishly turning her back on family…or if it’s the only way to keep herself from drowning along with them.
