Book excerpt: Over the last 20 years, Jacqueline Wilson has published well over 100 titles and has become firmly established in the landscape of Children's Literature. She has written for all ages, from picture books for young readers to young adult fiction and tackles a wide variety of controversial topics, such as child abuse, mental illness and bereavement. Although she has received some criticism for presenting difficult and seemingly 'adult' topics to children, she remains overwhelmingly popular among her audience and has won numerous prizes selected by children, such as the Smarties Book Prize. This collection of newly commissioned essays explores Wilson's literature from all angles. The essays cover not only the content and themes of Wilson's writing, but also her success as a publishing phenomenon and the branding of her books. Issues of gender roles and child/carer relationships are examined alongside Wilson's writing style and use of techniques such as the unreliable narrator. The book also features an interview with Jacqueline Wilson herself, where she discusses the challenges of writing social realism for young readers and how her writing has changed over her lengthy career.

WINNER OF THE CHRISTY AWARD® When an impoverished school district loses its accreditation and the affluent community of Crystal Ridge has no choice but to open their school doors, the lives of three very different women converge: Camille Gray--the wife of an executive, mother of three, long-standing PTA chairwoman and champion fundraiser--faced with a shocking discovery that threatens to tear her picture-perfect world apart at the seams. Jen Covington, the career nurse whose long, painful journey to motherhood finally resulted in adoption but she is struggling with a happily-ever-after so much harder than she anticipated. Twenty-two-year-old Anaya Jones--the first woman in her family to graduate college and a brand new teacher at Crystal Ridge's top elementary school, unprepared for the powder-keg situation she's stepped into. Tensions rise within and without, culminating in an unforeseen event that impacts them all. This story explores the implicit biases impacting American society, and asks the ultimate question: What does it mean to be human?

Download or read book Brood written by Rheba Walker and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brood is the true life account of an ordinary family who left the beautiful foothills and valleys of Mt. Judea, Arkansas, (commonly referred to as "Judy" for anyone who has a link to its past) and headed south into unfamiliar territories. This new world, also known as the great state of Texas, offered more suitable farming lands and the promise of a better future. With all earthly possessions stowed in covered wagons, the adventure began. Hope and happiness quickly turned to worry and fear as World War II dropped its uncertainties on the thresholds of homes already struggling to survive. The Heffley family was not immune to the sufferings of war. They did, however, summon the strength and determination to press on. While placing their deepest faith in God, they held tightly to each other. Today letters from another side of the world stamped "Air Mail" that were once received with hope and fear now lie in dresser drawers, their words fading. Photos, often removed, kissed and replaced, now crinkle with age without proper care. So many stories with so many characters, run the risk of being lost forever. Brood believes these family memories must be preserved and passed down to our children, grandchildren, and future generations. Brood is a collection of one family's most cherished memories that just might inspire you to discover, share, and celebrate your own family's history.
