Book excerpt: Winner of the International Literacy Association Social Justice Literature Award An award-winning middle-grade novel about the power of grassroots activism and how kids can make a difference. Every day, nine-year-old Yasmin borrows a book from Book Uncle, a retired teacher who has set up a free lending library on the street corner. But when the mayor tries to shut down the rickety bookstand, Yasmin has to take her nose out of her book and do something. What can she do? The local elections are coming up, but she’s just a kid. She can’t even vote! Still, Yasmin has friends — her best friend, Reeni, and Anil, who even has a blue belt in karate. And she has family and neighbors. What’s more, she has an idea that came right out of the last book she borrowed from Book Uncle. So Yasmin and her friends get to work. Ideas grow like cracks in the sidewalk, and soon the whole effort is breezing along nicely... Or is it spinning right out of control? An energetic, funny and quirky story about community activism, friendship, and the love of books.

That such love is dangerous and forbidden, young Will is only vaguely aware. While trying to understand what his feelings mean, he is driven to write about his Uncle Sean and begins with these words: "Uncle Sean sure is pretty, but there's something wrong with him, anyway." "Donaghe's magic in crafting this tale was writing Will's journal in the voice of a fourteen-year-old The book is so realistic that one wonders what has become of Sean and Will since the box containing Will's journal was stowed away in the barn thirty years ago The novel is a natural for high school and publics libraries." -John R.

Download or read book Sometimes I Can See You written by Polly Brewer and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes I Can See You is a life affirming multi-generational tale. Some parts are made up while combining with a realistic memoir of a real person long involved in the art world. far from being a family memoir, though it is that, these are luminous fragmentary tales of strong women and how they reacted to the men in their lives, sometimes disastrously but often strengthening. Plus a vivid journey back into 18th century colonial life in Virginia and a visit told with great immediacy to a small Ohio town in the 19th century which are intricately intertwined. The writing carries teh freshness of watercolor paintings with warm hearted view of life itself with all its fragility, losses, triumphs, and happiness.

Download or read book The Legacy Manuscript written by John Parkinson and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An American businessman suddenly finds himself asked to recover a family legacy lost during WWII, a legacy dating back centuries. A decision to honor the request means jeopardizing his career by flying off to England on a quest with seemingly small chance for success. His quest becomes filled with a sense of a family heritage needing to be recovered but with a growing concern for the people who took it and risks in trying to reacquire it. In following what little clues he has, he finds himself somehow coerced into hiring a young woman whose commitment to him creates a growing affection he tries to discount being her employer and reality of them living an ocean apart. A book of intrigue bound with historical roots dating well back in history but playing out in the twentieth century with a romance of surprising elements. In all, a great read at night or on the beach for its surprising plot and characters.
