Sage can barely contain his excitement when Uncle Duncle announces they'll be flying in his World War II Supermarine Spitfire, and using the powers of a magical talisman to go wherever Sage would like. But the aerial adventure goes awry when Sage's imagination brings them to Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, a perilous destination teeming with murderous pirates, treacherous allies, and man-eating sharks. Together they must free a group of prisoners from the clutches of Long John Silver, lay claim to the glittering chests of pirate treasure, and fight for their very lives.

REVIEWS "Darren Krill has given us the next best thing to a sequel (to Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island). Krill keeps his audience guessing right to the very end. This is a fun read, and since Escape From Treasure Island is billed as the first in The Uncle Duncle Chronicles, readers can look forward to more adventure down the road." - Quill & Quire "This light-hearted mix of Krill's and Stevenson's characters works quite well, whether the reader is familiar with Treasure Island or not. It would be all too easy for Krill to cross the line into absurdity with a plot such as this, but he handles the blend of existing fiction and his own creation beautifully." - Children's Literature "'With wings of wind, I fly' is destined to become a catchphrase of a new generation of young readers." - Edmonton Journal "It's a rollicking adventure, in a style that's not been seen for years." - Edmonton Sun "...Scintillating...Krill wants to be Edmonton's JK Rowling. Make that DK Rowling. He's well on his way." - Edmonton Examiner "...A big, new Canadian hit in not time!" - Lloydminster Meridian Booster "Four stars! Highly recommended! Non-stop fun and action! A great read!" - Canadian Materials - Manitoba Library Association

Download or read book Let's Clear the Air written by and published by Lobster Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (ages 9 - 12) This collection of stories and interviews is the result of a simple question: "Why won't you start smoking?" Readers won't feel like they are being preached to, because the anti-tobacco message is being delivered by kids just like them. The stories, based on life experiences and observations, are diverse, personal, and smart – sometimes painful, sometimes funny. The ten reasons include the poor health of parents who smoke, addiction, self-image, the environment, and relationships. Our young contributors also bring up issues that kids might not consider, such as how cigarettes affect one's personal appearance, athletic performance, and bank account. The media's portrayal of smoking and the unscrupulous marketing tactics used by tobacco companies are also discussed. The stories are complemented by edgy illustrations, examples of anti-tobacco activism, quotes from nonsmoking celebrities, a foreword by Christy Turlington, important health facts, "instant history facts," and other sidebars which present the ugly truth about cigarettes.
Book Synopsis Stories for Every Classroom by : Beverly A. Brenna
Download or read book Stories for Every Classroom written by Beverly A. Brenna and published by Canadian Scholars’ Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic study of children's literature has explored various aspects of diversity; however, little research has examined Canadian books that portray characters with disabilities. This relevant and timely text addresses the significant dearth of research by exploring the treatment of disability in Canadian literature for young people. Engaging and highly accessible, this text will assist teachers, teacher educators, and teacher candidates in finding and using books about characters where disability is a part of their characterization, supporting the development of curricula that reflect critical literacy and social justice issues. Stories for Every Classroom explores the historical patterns and trends, theoretical frameworks, and critical literacy methods used to understand and teach children's literature and its portrayal of characters with disabilities. It provides educators with curriculum ideas and enriches the body of resources shared with children in K-12 settings for the purposes of developing imagination, empathy, and understanding of self and others. Featuring author portraits, comprehensive annotated bibliographies of contemporary Canadian children's books that depict characters with disabilities, and read-on bibliographies that provide connections with other books in the field, this unique text will be an invaluable resource for educators.
