Their time being out in nature and discovering new trails in the woods or spending hours by a lake differ from their teenage peers, who seem to be on a more traditional path in their lives. Leah feels the need to break free from the boundaries of her small community and longs to have an adventure that will take her to places she’s only dreamed of or read about in magazines. She knows that Angela will be right by her side when she does. On one momentous day, a hot air balloon passes overhead and Leah discovers their ticket out of their normal lives. Using all of their resources, and Angela’s amazing sewing skills, the pair build their own hot air balloon that will literally lift them to new heights. After months of planning, building, and packing, the day has arrived when they will set off for unknown destinations, purely at the whim of the wind and natural elements. After battling through storms and an attack by an aggressive group of albatross, Leah and Angela find themselves on an isolated island that they can’t wait to explore. But when a strange man offers them the ultimate adventure to an alternate realm, they are torn on whether they should play it safe or take a chance.

Download or read book Representing Childhood and Atrocity written by Victoria Nesfield and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2022-12-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Atrocity presents a problem to the writer of children's literature. To represent events of such terrible magnitude and impersonal will as the Holocaust, the transatlantic slave trade, or the Rwandan genocide such that they fit into a three-act structure with a comprehensible moral and a happy ending is to do a disservice to the victims. Yet to confront children with the fact of widescale violence without resolution is to confront them with realities that may be emotionally disturbing and even damaging. Despite these challenges, however, there exists a considerable body of work for and about children that addresses atrocity. To examine the ways in which writers and artists have attempted to address children's experience of atrocity, this collection brings together original essays by an international group of scholars working in the fields of child studies, children's literature, comics studies, education, English literature, and Holocaust, genocide, and memory studies. It covers a broad geographical range and includes works by established authors and emerging voices.

I'm awoken after a thousands' year sleep to a brutal world ruled by a male who may be the devil himself – Ero. Strange that, though so much has changed, language hasn't lost its roots. Because of that, I'm able to interpret his tongue – the only one who can. I plan to use my strengths to free the captive tribes from Ero's brutality or, better yet, teach Ero that we can be stronger by working together. If I do that, I won't just change the warlord himself, I'll change everything. Too bad he's vowed to kill me first. __________ Welcome back to Earth – what's left of it, that is, in Xiveri Mates book 7.

It is a complete standalone that can be read at any point and, as ever, comes with fighting heroine who ensnares the villain and a guaranteed HEA.
