Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Pulitzer Prize-winning author Paul Zindel comes this touching, humorous, and delightful play that earned wide recognition in its National Educational Television (NET) Network production. The action is set in the laboratory of the American Biological Association Development for the Advancement of Brain Analysis, where curious experiments involving various mammals are taking place. Helen, a newly engaged cleaning lady, is particularly drawn to a dolphin and is shocked when she learns that, having failed to "talk" as hoped for, it is slated for brain dissection. She makes a desperate attempt to rescue the dolphin from the scientists, incurring first their indignation and then, when the dolphin does indeed "talk" for Helen, their futile pleas that she change her mind about leaving and stay on to help them in their experiments. But the gentle Helen has had enough—both of "Custodial Engineering" and of schemes to change man's relationship to the other creatures with whom the world must be shared.

Book Synopsis Campbell's Scoop by : Patty Campbell
Download or read book Campbell's Scoop written by Patty Campbell and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2010-02-19 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the request of her many fans, Patty Campbell, editor of the Scarecrow Studies in Young Adult Literature series, has selected some of her best essays, articles, columns, and speeches in Campbell's Scoop. These pieces define the boundaries between children's and adult literature and review the trends, censorship, problems, and glories of the genre. Other essays reflect on some concerns and interests of young adult literature as it has matured: the verse novel, ambivalent endings, violence, the sometimes dubious value of awards and honor lists, the graphic novel, and the difficulties of the genre's recent overwhelming success. A section titled "Inside ALA" looks at the author's many years of service to that organization with, among other pieces, a firsthand look at the Best Books committee at work and a report of her attempt to unite booksellers and librarians in common cause. Many of these selections show the idiosyncratic wit and passion that have made Campbell's column a favorite with Horn Book readers: an exploration of the meaning of the glut of YA novels with death as a theme or character; an indignant denunciation of the fictional abuse of animals; a snarky analysis of "chick lit;" and a technical review from the belly-dancing critic of a YA novel featuring that ancient art. On a more serious note, Campbell pleads for what she calls "Godsearch" in books for teens and pays tribute to her late friend Robert Cormier. Without question, the essays in Campbell's Scoop provide readers with the unique insights of an advocate who is passionate about young adult literature and its future.
Book Synopsis Presenting Sue Ellen Bridgers by : Theodore W. Hipple
Download or read book Presenting Sue Ellen Bridgers written by Theodore W. Hipple and published by Macmillan Reference USA. This book was released on 1990 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young adult novelist Sue Ellen Bridgers (b. 1942) is praised for the subtlety and compassion she brings to her depictions or relationships. This first book-length critical analysis of her work includes summaries of her five novels: Home Before Dark, All Together Now, Notes for Another Life, Sara Will and Permanent Connections. It examines how the author's childhood in rural North Carolina colours her acclaimed novels that have won awards from the American Library Association, the Assembly on Literature for Adolescence of the NCTE and others. Hipple studies Bridger's use of the third person omniscient narrator to explore her characters' thoughts, her emphasis on the multi-generational family and the realistic problems her characters endure.
