Book excerpt: In this “thrilling” love story (Lily King, author of Writers & Lovers and Five Tuesdays in Winter), a teenage girl with a checkered past finds instant chemistry with a mysterious stranger. When sixteen-year-old Cindra Zoeller is sent to a reform camp in Montana after being involved in an armed robbery, she is thrust into a world of mountains and cowboys and prayers and miscreants and people from all walks of life like she’s never seen in suburban Massachusetts. At Camp Challenge, she becomes transfixed by Lucky, a camp employee of mysterious origin—an origin of constant speculation—and the chemistry between them is instant, and profound. The pair escape together into the wilderness to create an idyllic life far from the reach of the law, living off their resounding love, Lucky’s vast knowledge of the wilderness, and a little help from some friends. But they can run from the outside world for only so long, and the consequences of their naïve fantasy of a future together—and circumstances shaped by skin color—will keep them apart for decades. Cindra gets trapped in a relationship, safely if stultifyingly suburban, where she is both cosseted and controlled by a man who claims to be her rescuer. But for Cindra, there will never be another Lucky, and she dreams of one day finding him, the only man she’s ever fully trusted, her soulmate. Page-turning, full of vivid characters, delicious suspense, and ultimately joy, Lucky Turtle is a big- hearted, deeply engrossing love story from one of our most entertaining and perceptive writers.
Download or read book A Little Bit of Ivey written by Lorelei Branam and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2012-12-17 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Call me Ivey Mae. I have been interested in boys since I realized they weren't girls. Literally. After a tonsillectomy at age five, my first comment was, "The doctor is cute." When I was eighteen my dad started calling me Will Rogers after the actor who infamously stated that he'd never met a man he didn't like. My mother has always wondered what is wrong with me, but the answer is right in her mirror. As a blossoming novelist, I let my southern roots color the world around me. My books grapple with my alter ego and the romantic dalliances with her dashingly handsome muse. But in reality, I am staying married-this time-living with my husband, our 6 children, and 30 pets-and no, we don't live on a farm, but smack dab in suburbia. My husband thinks rabbits and guinea pigs are family and shouldn't be separated. But after 22 baby, inbred rodents, I said, "Family, my rear end!" and separated the boys and girls. My dear mother is now a widow and lives next door. And although she is lonely, she is thoroughly enjoying her seat in the I-am-old-and-can-do-what-I-want boat. She's the one using a shower cap instead of an umbrella and bright-colored laundry baskets instead of a suitcase. Oh, and as it turns out, she doesn't really like me or animals. I know, hilarious. You can't make this stuff up, although Mother would probably tell you that I do. Our lives would make for a train-wreck type entertaining genuine reality show. But our commotion would just run off the TV crew, so-for now-my stories will have to do.

Download or read book Choice and Agency in the Writing Workshop written by Fred Hamel and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Step into a classroom and “listen in” on the writing initiatives and motivations of students who are given significant choice and agency in the development of their writing. Discover why upper elementary children need ways to become literate as kids, not merely as prototypes of adults or teenagers. Filled with rich portraits of in-class writing interactions and challenges, this book highlights various themes that help teachers become better observers and more responsive to the complexity of writing in children’s lives. Key themes include drawing and popular media in children’s learning, the challenges of listening to students during conferences, the intersections of writing and relationships, the roles of sharing and publishing writing, and the importance of shaping a writing curriculum through dialogue. “Fred Hamel not only offers us readers insight into the text-mediated dramas of children’s lives, he allows us into the sort of pedagogical reflections that keep us all in the flow of becoming.” —From the Foreword by Anne Haas Dyson, University of Illinois “This timely book is about the experimentation, flexibility, vulnerabilities, and risks of educators when they don’t assume to always know what is best for writers. Through classroom examples, Hamel helps us to see the complex and entangled identities of teachers and students. This book asks us all to consider putting less emphasis on expected writing endpoints and think more about the social processes and relationships of literacies coming to be.” —Candace R. Kuby, University of Missouri and author of Go Be a Writer! Expanding the Curricular Boundaries of Literacy Learning with Children
Download or read book Creativity and Writing written by Teresa Grainger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-05-06 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This clear yet authoritative book affirms the vital role of creativity in writing and considers and encourages flexible, innovative practices in teaching. Importantly, the book reflects upon teachers' imaginative and artistic involvement in the writing process as role models, collaborators, artists, and as writers themselves. Arguing that children's creative use of language is key to the development of language and literacy skills, this book focuses on the composition process and how children can express their own ideas. In addition, the authors consider the many forms of creative language that influence the inner and outer voice of children, including reading, investigating, talking and engaging in a range of inspiring activities. Illustrated throughout with many examples of children's writing and drawing, this book also provides suggestions for classroom activities and is a source of inspiration and practical guidance for any teacher looking to deepen their understanding of literacy theory and practice.

Download or read book Season of the Turtle written by Alley Robinson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2021-04-12 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the season for guarding sea turtle nests on Oak Island, North Carolina, began that year, Aubrey Benson struggled to find her usual passion. Rebuffed by her teenage daughter, Sunny, and threatened by her ex with a custody change, she was weary of her life and certainly in no mood for romance. The big, homeless war veteran probably meant to be helpful, but Aubrey distrusted him from their first meeting. It took days of working together on the beach for her to accept, then admire and, finally, to love Tom Clayton. But a sexual assailant is stalking the sleepy coastal community, and Tom fits the description of the attacker. Aubrey struggles to prove to herself and others that her faith in Tom is justified. All the while, a predator is closing in, and a dark, deserted beach is the perfect setting for danger.
Download or read book Exit the Turtle Lady written by Cleland Reid and published by America Star Books. This book was released on 2014-06-17 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When what is assumed to be a gas explosion destroys a woman’s home, a witness is drawn into events that lead far beyond the victim’s passion for protecting turtles and into a criminal plot that will test lifelong friendships, endanger a dam and involve a once-famous imprisoned eco-terrorist. A mysterious van that was once used in a plot to damage the Lincoln Memorial is found disabled atop a dam in rural Idaho, bringing to light the burglary, twenty-five years earlier, of the Federal Ordinance Arsenal in Washington State and creating suspicion about the motives of a group of locals caring for their recently injured friend—the Turtle Lady. Law enforcement initially pursues R.A. Endicott—an unlikely suspect most comfortable tending his pumpkins—and his good friend Skipper for their vague involvement with the damaged home, but information is gathered that suggests a conspiracy and imminent plot aimed at eliminating Double Falls Reservoir in the name of salmon habitat. However, when the plan is ultimately exposed, that proves not to have been the case at all. The target is something no one imagined and the goal far more sinister than anyone suspected.
