Book Synopsis Of Starfish Tides and Other Tales by : Suzanne J. Willis
Download or read book Of Starfish Tides and Other Tales written by Suzanne J. Willis and published by Trepidatio Publishing. This book was released on 2022-05-06 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventeen stories in Of Starfish Tides and Other Tales take place at the edges of this world, some veering more deeply into it, others towards worlds on the other side. With elements of fairy tales and folklore, and occasional forays into dystopian futures, its constant theme is a search for home and belonging, and the darkness at the heart of that search. Women stalk through these pages looking for the keeper of human hearts and a cruel map that will answer only to its true owner. Faeries are more likely to seek revenge or a human soul than they are to grant wishes. A man washes up on a pebbled beach, his only means of communication being the haunting songs he plays on an old piano. Elsewhere, music is the language of love and sorrow and, sometimes, a weapon. Stay awhile, here, and learn the secrets of a city built for a long-gone lover and how to find the land of the dead. Learn what it means to chart stories on human skin. But remember that, between these covers, getting what one needs is often different from what one wants. “Suzanne J. Willis is a chronicler of note, a documenter of the glorious strange, a creator of such wonders and horrors as might make a heart sing or the blood curdle.” -from the introduction by Angela Slatter

Book Synopsis The Tide Pool Waits by : Candace Fleming
Download or read book The Tide Pool Waits written by Candace Fleming and published by Holiday House. This book was released on 2022-04-05 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dive into the rich ecology of tide pools and watch a hidden world spring in this masterful nonfiction picture book for very young readers. Twice a day when the tide goes out, an astonishing world is revealed in the tide pools that form along the Pacific Coast. Some of the creatures that live here look like stone. Others look like plants. Some move so slowly it’s hard to tell if they’re moving at all, while others are so fast you’re not sure you really saw them. The biggest animals in the pool are smaller than your hand, while the smallest can’t be seen at all without a microscope. During low tide, all these creatures – big, small, fast, slow – are exposed to air and the sun’s drying heat. And so they have developed ways to survive the wait until the ocean’s return. Candace Fleming is the author of Honeybee, which received an Orbis Pictus Honor and 7 starred reviews. She brings her knack for making science and nature appealing to the very young in The Tidepool Waits with detailed accounts of dozens of species of sea life, culminating in a perfect primer for students and nature lovers taking their first trip to the shore. Her text is accompanied by effervescent artwork by Amy Hevron and substantial backmatter. A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection A Charlotte Zolotow Highly Commended Book

Download or read book Verge written by Lidia Yuknavitch and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LONGLISTED FOR THE STORY PRIZE Named one of the Best Books of the Year by Bustle and Lit Hub A fiercely empathetic group portrait of the marginalized and outcast in moments of crisis, from one of the most galvanizing voices in American fiction. Lidia Yuknavitch is a writer of rare insight into the jagged boundaries between pain and survival. Her characters are scarred by the unchecked hungers of others and themselves, yet determined to find salvation within lives that can feel beyond their control. In novels such as The Small Backs of Children and The Book of Joan, she has captivated readers with stories of visceral power. Now, in Verge, she offers a shard-sharp mosaic portrait of human resilience on the margins. The landscape of Verge is peopled with characters who are innocent and imperfect, wise and endangered: an eight-year-old black-market medical courier, a restless lover haunted by memories of his mother, a teenage girl gazing out her attic window at a nearby prison, all of them wounded but grasping toward transcendence. Clear-eyed yet inspiring, Verge challenges us with moments of uncomfortable truth, even as it urges us to place our faith not in the flimsy guardrails of society but in the memories held—and told—by our own individual bodies.

Then we come across the extreme travellers: the highest flyers, the deepest divers and the fastest runners. But which animal is the most venomous, and which the most dangerous? Which has the loudest voice, the longest tongue, the biggest eyes or the most powerful bite? How do animals tell the time? How did the zebra get those stripes? And what is the most mysterious animal on Earth? The Frog with Self-cleaning Feet is a miscellany of fascinating animal anecdotes, facts and figures. The weird, the wonderful and the downright unbelievable of the animal world - you couldn't make it up!
