Download or read book My Calamity Jane written by Cynthia Hand and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hold on to your hats: The authors who brought you the New York Times bestseller My Plain Jane, which Booklist praised as “delightfully deadpan” (starred review) and Publishers Weekly called “a clever, romantic farce” (starred review), are back with another irreverent historical adventure. Welcome to 1876 America, a place bursting with gunslingers, outlaws, and garou—better known as werewolves. And where there are garou, there’re hunters: the one and only Calamity Jane, to be precise, along with her fellow stars of Wild Bill’s Traveling Show, Annie Oakley and Frank “the Pistol Prince” Butler. After a garou hunt goes south and Jane finds a suspicious-like bite on her arm, she turns tail for Deadwood, where there’s talk of a garou cure. But rumors can be deceiving—meaning the gang better hightail it after her before they’re a day late and a Jane short. In this perfect next read for fans of A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue, bestselling authors Cynthia Hand, Jodi Meadows, and Brodi Ashton bring their signature spark to the side-splittin’, whopper-filled (but actually kind of factual?) tale of Calamity Jane.

Creepy! Crawly! Criminy! Everyone knows that Stink is bonkers about most scientific things. But there’s one exception: dangle a spider in front of him and he goes berserk! Stink is so freaked out by spiders that he can’t read about them. He can’t look at them. He can’t think about them. And he for-sure can’t touch them! Stink has arachnophobia (a fear of spiders), and he has it bad. But when a hairy backyard emergency arises, Stink is forced to face his fear—and eight beady eyes—head-on. Will he manage to tame the heebie-jeebies, or will he remain stuck in his web of terror? Arachno-fans will love the comics sprinkled throughout with facts about spiders as well as a hands-on origami challenge.
Download or read book They Call Me G ero written by David Bowles and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-08-24 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An award-winning novel in verse about a boy who navigates the start of seventh grade and life growing up on the border the only way that feels right—through poetry. They call him Güero because of his red hair, pale skin, and freckles. Sometimes people only go off of what they see. Like the Mexican boxer Canelo Álvarez, twelve-year-old Güero is puro mexicano. He feels at home on both sides of the river, speaking Spanish or English. Güero is also a reader, gamer, and musician who runs with a squad of misfits called Los Bobbys. Together, they joke around and talk about their expanding world, which now includes girls. (Don’t cross Joanna—she's tough as nails.) Güero faces the start of seventh grade with heart and smarts, his family’s traditions, and his trusty accordion. And when life gets tough for this Mexican American border kid, he knows what to do: He writes poetry. Honoring multiple poetic traditions, They Call Me Güero is a classic in the making and the recipient of a Pura Belpré Honor, a Tomás Rivera Mexican American Children's Book Award, a Claudia Lewis Award for Excellence in Poetry, and a Walter Dean Myers Honor.
Download or read book Hand Delivered Hope written by Jimi Cook and published by Trilogy Christian Publishing. This book was released on 2020-07 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Books! Tuition! These two simple words from a group of desperately poor orphans in Zambia set an American couple on a journey to build schools and provide educational resources to forgotten communities around the world. This journey takes an adventurous, daunting, inspiring, and often humorous route from a campfire in the "wrong" village in Zambia to Rwanda, Cambodia, Papua New Guinea, South Africa, Nepal, Ethiopia, Malawi, India, Kenya, Guatemala, and Peru and introduces this couple to Ms. Jean, Beata, Irene, Reachana, Phomotso, Dolly, Grant, OG, Debbie Poppins and so many other world changers along the way. The journey also gives these two university professors more education than their combined six college degrees ever could, gives them an adopted son, and gives them more inspiration than they could ever imagine. Monumental challenges, humbling failures, perspective-shifting experiences, and life-changing successes are shared through the lives and stories of amazing individuals from some of the remotest places on earth. The reader will be amazed, entertained, shocked--and most importantly educated and inspired to see how the opportunity for education, the power of human interaction, and the reach of the ripple effect can change the world one student, one school, and one community at a time.
