Download or read book Igraine the Brave written by Cornelia Funke and published by Scholastic Inc.. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times–bestselling author of Inkheart and Dragon Rider delivers an “inventive re-imagining of the knight-in-shining-armor story” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Igraine dreams of becoming a famous knight just like her great grandfather, but the truth is, life at the family castle is rather boring. Until the nephew of the baroness-next-door shows up. He’s got a dastardly plan to capture the castle and claim as his own the wonderful singing spell books that belong to Igraine’s magician parents. To make matters worse, at the very moment of the siege, her mom and dad botch a spell, turning themselves into pigs! Aided by a Gentle Giant and a Sorrowful Knight, it’s up to Igraine to be brave and save the day—and the books! “Illustrated with pen-and-ink sketches of Igraine in action, plus many tiny tomes sporting stubby limbs and animated faces, this engaging read, or read-aloud, is ‘joust’ the ticket for all young fans of non-gender-specific knightly valor.” —Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book The Brave Learner written by Julie Bogart and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Publishers Weekly bestseller · A joyful and accessible homeschool guide to making learning a part of everyday life Parents who are deeply invested in their children's education can be hard on themselves and their kids. When exhausted parents are living the day-to-day grind, it can seem impossible to muster enough energy to make learning fun or interesting. How do parents nurture a love of learning amid childhood chaos, parental self-doubt, the flu, and state academic standards? In this book, Julie Bogart distills decades of experience--homeschooling her five now grown children, developing curricula, and training homeschooling families around the world--to show parents how to make education an exciting, even enchanting, experience for their kids, whether they're in elementary or high school. Enchantment is about ease, not striving. Bogart shows parents how to make room for surprise, mystery, risk, and adventure in their family's routine, so they can create an environment that naturally moves learning forward. If a child wants to pick up a new hobby or explore a subject area that the parent knows little about, it's easy to simply say "no" to end the discussion and the parental discomfort, while dousing their child's curious spark. Bogart gently invites parents to model brave learning for their kids so they, too, can approach life with curiosity, joy, and the courage to take learning risks.

Book excerpt: 1066. William The Conqueror takes England. Wrong. That version of history is Norman revisionism and propaganda! The truth is that England did not surrender to The Bastard Duke’s rule. For the next 40 years they fought a war of resistance in the forests and moorlands. This fighting force of proto-guerrillas were called the Silvatici and became the stuff of Norman nightmares. This is their origin story. It follows Edgar The Atheling (the legitimate King of England), Princess Margaret (who becomes Queen of Scotland and Saint Margaret), Kallín of the Rohán ( the young Chieftain of a clan of indigenous mercenaries) and Luna (a ferocious young female warrior). Their adventures take us from the great courts of Normandy, London and York to the wilds of Northumbria and the moorlands which will become the killing fields of the war of resistance to come.

Book excerpt: Held captive for 21 days in numerous secret Saddam Hussein prisons at the onset of the Liberation of Iraq in March 2003, Army Specialist, Edgar Hernandez and six other brave soldiers feared for their lives as they faced brutal treatment and near-death situations right up until their dramatic rescue. When his convoy came under attack from heavy enemy fire, Hernandez was shot and hit by grenade shrapnel in the face. Bleeding profusely, he and several other soldiers (including Jessica Lynch who would be held in a different location) were taken prisoner. Pawns in a tug of war between an armed militia, the Fedayeen who wanted them executed, and Iraqs elite Special Republican Guard who became their captors, the American soldiers were beaten and paraded as war trophies to a bloodthirsty Iraqi mob as death seemed eminent. Racing in a Red Cross ambulance at 100mph through the streets of Iraq, the POWs dodged missile fire from U.S. Marines, thinking Iraqi officers were trying to escape; unaware the captive soldiers were inside. Read in his own words, Hernandez describes the anguish he felt during this horrendous ordeal. Endorsed by Major General Alfred Valenzuela, a highly decorated 33-year Army veteran, he declares Hernandezs biography as a thrilling account of heroism in time of war. POW - An American Hero, a riveting read destined to be a New York Times Best Seller.
