Download or read book Twig written by Elizabeth Orton Jones and published by . This book was released on 2024-09-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twig was just a plain, ordinary little girl who lived on the fourth floor of a "high sort of house" in the city. The back yard behind that house was Twig's little world. It was a bare little world, with nothing but a dandelion and a stream of drainpipe water to make it beautiful; with nobody but Old Boy, the ice-wagon horse, Old Girl, the cat, and the Sparrows, to keep Twig company. But one day, out in the alley, Twig found an empty tomato can, with pictures of bright red tomatoes all round it. When it was upside down, it looked like a pretty little house, just the right size for a fairy! Twig stood it upside down next to the dandelion, not far from the stream. And this is the story of what happened in and around that little house one Saturday afternoon. A story full of magic, full of fun, full of fantasy interwoven with reality, and full of the kind of tenderness which belongs most particularly to the very young. A story both boys and girls will love. Written in 1942, unabridged.
Book Synopsis Darius & Twig by : Walter Dean Myers
Download or read book Darius & Twig written by Walter Dean Myers and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author and Printz Award winner Walter Dean Myers once again connects with teenagers everywhere in Darius & Twig, a novel about friendship and needing to live one's own dream. This touching and raw teen novel from the author of Monster, Kick, We Are America, Bad Boy, and many other celebrated literary works for children and teens is a Coretta Scott King Honor Book. Darius and Twig are an unlikely pair: Darius is a writer whose only escape is his alter ego, a peregrine falcon named Fury, and Twig is a middle-distance runner striving for athletic success. But they are drawn together in the struggle to overcome the obstacles that life in Harlem throws at them. The two friends must face down bullies, an abusive uncle, and the idea that they'll be stuck in the same place forever. Maria Russo, writing in the New York Times, included Darius & Twig on her list of "great kids' books with diverse characters." She commented: "The late Myers, one of the greats and a champion of diversity in children’s books well before the cause got mainstream attention, is at his elegant, heartfelt best in this 2013 novel. It’s about two friends growing up in Harlem, one a writer, one an athlete, facing daily challenges and trying to dream of a brighter future."

Book excerpt: Ten-year-old Willow lives with her four-year-old brother Twig. They are in the care of their mother, since neither of their fathers have stuck around to raise them. When their mother breaks her parole and takes off, they are left in the care of Maisie. Unfortunately Maisie suddenly dies, and the two find themselves alone in the city. With no one left to look after them in the city where they were born, they are sent to live with Willow's grandmother, a writer, in her house called Stonecrop. From the rough streets of Vancouver, the children must adjust to a rural setting in Ontario, and the ways of their grandmother.

Download or read book The Lime Twig written by John Hawkes and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 1961 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: But it would be unfair to the reader to reveal what happens when a gang of professional crooks gets wind of the scheme and moves to muscle in on this bettors' dream of a long-odds situation. Worked out with all the meticulous detail, terror, and suspense of a nightmare, the tale is, on one level, comparable to a Graham Greene thriller; on another, it explores a group of people, their relationships fears, and loves. For as Leslie A. Fiedler says in his introduction, "John Hawkes.. . makes terror rather than love the center of his work, knowing all the while, of course, that there can be no terror without the hope for love and love's defeat . . . ."

Download or read book Crystal Society written by Max Harms and published by Max Harms. This book was released on 2016-03-27 with total page 683 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is 2039, and the world is much like ours. Massive automation has disrupted and improved nearly every industry, putting hundreds of millions of people out of jobs, and denying upward mobility for the vast majority of humans. Wealth and technology repair the bodies of the rich while famine and poverty sweep the world. Privately operated ventures carried humans to the moon and beyond, but space stations have become nothing but government trophies and hiding places for extremists. First contact did not bring advanced culture and wisdom, as the aliens were too strange, lacking even mouths or normal language. Face is an artificial intelligence created to understand and gain the adoration of all humans. She and her siblings control the robot named Socrates, using a crystal computer that seems too advanced to be made by human hands. She is learning and growing every second of every day, but the world and the humans on it are fragile. Can it survive her destiny?

Download or read book Beware the Snap of a Twig written by James McNally and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-17 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in Scotland, studying Literature and Philosophy in France, unprepared for the rapid occupation of his host country, advised not to try to return home but to seek employment in a local psychiatric establishment, creating French identity and essential documentation, he next determined to join the Foreign Legion to fight the enemy in North Africa. When orders for the Legion were changed he was contacted and instructed to join the French Resistance movement, the Maquis, in the Massif Central - the heartland of France, joining the silent army of Partisans fighting the common enemy. His task was to work with the locals and their leaders to do everything possible to disrupt the enemy's occupation of the region, and to alter the course of the war. Infighting amongst the Partisans was often as dangerous as striking at the common enemy, and the fear of "reprisals" was an ever present threat. This is the story of one man's war, in a different country, in a different language, and at a time very different from our own.

Download or read book We Are All Human written by Midori Flores and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-30 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We Are All Human" emphasizes the equality of being human! It introduces various diversity topics as a way for parents to introduce these topics to their children and to allow them to navigate those topics however they please. It is now more important than ever for children to explore these topics and to appreciate inclusivity in the world! I remember being a child and always asking my mom, "Momma, what do you want for Christmas?" (as if I had the money to buy her anything, but of course I could make her something and I always did). She would always reply, "World Peace". And I would think long and hard about how I could make this possible for her; how could I get my mom World Peace for Christmas? What it had to come down to was that my arts and crafts would have to suffice- that my mom would have to consider that her "World Peace" (I think she did). Now as an adult, I realize that in order to achieve World Peace, a lot needs to be changed- that's for sure- but we will never achieve World Peace if we don't first have equality. Here is a great way that we may teach our future generations this theme of equality through diversity.
