Book excerpt: For young readers comfortable reading longer books. Kids 8 - 12 years old. Magali: a French marmot who joins her mountain mates on their crazy, nocturnal, sports adventures! Magali looked at Mishka. 'Did you hear that?' 'Psssssssssssssst!' The voice called again. Higher up the mountain, four fox ears poked out of the long grass. 'Psssssssssssssst! Come on, Man! Come over!' F-F-Foxy's head popped up. Then Little Foxy's head popped up. 'It's us! Come!' F-F-Foxy waved. The little marmot looked up at the sun. She said to the fox, 'It's daytime.' 'We're not going to eat you!' F-F-Foxy called. Little Foxy's tongue rolled out the side of his mouth as he stared at Magali's chubby body. 'But maybe we will!' F-F-Foxy smacked his brother's head… Pow! Little Foxy's tongue flung over to the other side of his mouth. F-F-Foxy waved to Magali and Mishka, who were still crouching behind their rock. 'Come!' The marmot looked to the sun again. F-F-Foxy stood up straight and said, 'Okay. We'll come to you. We are not going to eat you. Promise. This is a sports thing.' The foxes race to meet the marmot and rabbit. F-F-Foxy explains that his uncle needs help getting the bobsleigh track ready for the Grand Reopening Night. New sleds need transporting, mats need to be fixed, and the track needs to be cleaned! Animals from all over the mountain are going to pitch in. Magali is unsure. Her parents don't let her go out at night. Will she sneak out each night to help? A funny middle-grade series about trusting instinct, forging friendships, and learning independence. The books have British spelling. For ages 8-12 yrs. Set in La Plagne, Savoie, France Each book can be read as an individual book or as part of the Dude Series. The series is available in English, French, Spanish, plus bilingual versions (English / français) (English / español). Question for the Author How did you come up with the character of Magali? 'You know, I really love the French Alps, and looking at all the animals that live in the mountains. I'm Australian, so I had never seen a marmot before moving to France. I worked one summer, for a kids' summer camp, and part of my job was to take the children out on walks. We would go looking for marmots, all of us being very quiet, secretly sneaking up to the holes in the ground, where the entrances to the marmot burrows were. Of course, we would make too much noise and the marmots would disappear into their underground tunnels, but sometimes we were lucky and able to take photos. I think their underground homes took over my imagination, and before you knew it, I had a whole chapter book in my head, with Magali as the principal character!'

Download or read book Bullwhip Days written by James Mellon and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2014-12-23 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Twenty-nine oral histories and additional excerpts, selected from 2000 interviews with former slaves conducted in the 1930s for a WPA Federal Writers Project, document the conditions of slavery that . . . lie at the root of today’s racism.” —Publishers Weekly In the 1930s, the Works Progress Administration commissioned an oral history of the remaining former slaves. Bullwhip Days is a remarkable compendium of selections from these extraordinary interviews, providing an unflinching portrait of the world of government-sanctioned slavery of Africans in America. Here are twenty-nine full narrations, as well as nine sections of excerpts related to particular aspects of slave life, from religion to plantation life to the Reconstruction era. Skillfully edited, these chronicles bear eloquent witness to the trials of slaves in America, reveal the wide range of conditions of human bondage, and provide sobering insight into the roots of racism in today’s society. “Remarkably articulate . . . vivid, moving, and beautifully cadenced.” —The New Yorker

Download or read book Company of One written by Paul Jarvis and published by Houghton Mifflin. This book was released on 2019 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if the real key to a richer and more fulfilling career was not to create and scale a new start-up, but rather, to be able to work for yourself, determine your own hours, and become a (highly profitable) and sustainable company of one? Suppose the better--and smarter--solution is simply to remain small? This book explains how to do just that. Company of One is a refreshingly new approach centered on staying small and avoiding growth, for any size business. Not as a freelancer who only gets paid on a per piece basis, and not as an entrepreneurial start-up that wants to scale as soon as possible, but as a small business that is deliberately committed to staying that way. By staying small, one can have freedom to pursue more meaningful pleasures in life, and avoid the headaches that result from dealing with employees, long meetings, or worrying about expansion. Company of One introduces this unique business strategy and explains how to make it work for you, including how to generate cash flow on an ongoing basis. Paul Jarvis left the corporate world when he realized that working in a high-pressure, high profile world was not his idea of success. Instead, he now works for himself out of his home on a small, lush island off of Vancouver, and lives a much more rewarding and productive life. He no longer has to contend with an environment that constantly demands more productivity, more output, and more growth. In Company of One, Jarvis explains how you can find the right pathway to do the same, including planning how to set up your shop, determining your desired revenues, dealing with unexpected crises, keeping your key clients happy, and of course, doing all of this on your own.
