Book excerpt: Seekers of the Wild Realm meets My Diary from the Edge of the World in this poignant and “action-packed” (School Library Journal) story of a lonely girl who befriends a kitten that might be much more—the first in a new series from author of Mrs. Smith’s Spy School for Girls, Beth McMullen! Twelve-year-old Cassie King’s father always told her the universe was on her side. All she had to do was work hard and things would go her way. But then Cassie’s father died, her mom retreated into herself, and her best friend traded her in for the popular crowd at school. The only thing Cassie still has is the volunteer work she does at the local library, a place where she can leave her troubles behind. Unfortunately, classmate and school outcast Joe Robinson is always there doing the same thing. One day, while Cassie and Joe are leaving the library, a bizarre storm hits, trapping them in a narrow alley. In the storm’s aftermath, Cassie discovers a bedraggled little kitten abandoned in a smelly dumpster. Cassie feels an immediate connection to the kitten and takes him home. But the kitten—who Cassie names Albert—is a little odd, with impossible strength and agility for a creature his size. At one point, Cassie swears she sees plumes of smoke rising from his water bowl, and one afternoon, while Albert is alone in her room, a strange symbol appears on the closet door. With new friend Joe’s help, Cassie figures out the symbol is a map. But a map to what? The friends soon discover that Albert is much more than he appears and is in grave danger. He needs Cassie’s help in ways she never could have imagined. Keeping him safe is the first thing Cassie has believed in for a long time. But is she strong enough to face down a sinister enemy moving ever closer and protect everything she loves?

Download or read book Finding the Movement written by Finn Enke and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2007-11-07 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Finding the Movement, Anne Enke reveals that diverse women’s engagement with public spaces gave rise to and profoundly shaped second-wave feminism. Focusing on women’s activism in Detroit, Chicago, and Minneapolis-St. Paul during the 1960s and 1970s, Enke describes how women across race and class created a massive groundswell of feminist activism by directly intervening in the urban landscape. They secured illicit meeting spaces and gained access to public athletic fields. They fought to open bars to women and abolish gendered dress codes and prohibitions against lesbian congregation. They created alternative spaces, such as coffeehouses, where women could socialize and organize. They opened women-oriented bookstores, restaurants, cafes, and clubs, and they took it upon themselves to establish women’s shelters, health clinics, and credit unions in order to support women’s bodily autonomy. By considering the development of feminism through an analysis of public space, Enke expands and revises the historiography of second-wave feminism. She suggests that the movement was so widespread because it was built by people who did not identify themselves as feminists as well as by those who did. Her focus on claims to public space helps to explain why sexuality, lesbianism, and gender expression were so central to feminist activism. Her spatial analysis also sheds light on hierarchies within the movement. As women turned commercial, civic, and institutional spaces into sites of activism, they produced, as well as resisted, exclusionary dynamics.

The twenty-five actresses profiled herein range from the easily recognizable (Marie Dressler, Ethel Waters) to the long forgotten (Esther Howard, Evelyn Varden), and from the prolific (Clara Blandick, Mary Forbes) to the "one-work wonders" (Jane Cowl, Queenie Vassar). Each profile captures the essence of the individual performer's on-screen persona, unique talents and popular appeal--with special emphasis on a single definitive performance of the actress's motion picture career (who, for example, could ever forget Josephine Hull in Harvey?). The appendix offers a list of "The 100 Top Performances by Character Actresses in Hollywood, 1930-1960."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Storm De'Larosa has had her run of bad luck and misfortune, along with mistakes that now had her on the run, constantly moving from place to place with her infant son. Death and darkness stalked her every move, striking down everyone close to her. Having fought shadows all her life, she was coming to the point where there was not much fight left in her. She has lost nearly everything in her life, and the only thing she has left to protect was her son who is, even at a young age, showing remarkable abilities that must remain hidden for their safety. Storm was coming to the end of her rope with nowhere left to run. Finding temporary sanctuary was her only goal. That among survival. In her travels, Storm comes across Rhys Airaldi and his unusual family, who, to her great dismay, insists on helping her and her son. She could not be more displeased than if they had offered to give her a lobotomy. The last thing she wanted was more blood on her hands. Though, there was also the fact that Storm was keeping a secret that she dared not share with a soul, let alone with complete strangers. The Airaldis, however, seemed to have a dark history of their own that dated back centuries. Rhys himself seemed determined to keep the past just that, the past, even as it becomes apparent that that was a fruitless endeavor. Doom lurked like a specter, ready to strike, and as they face the perils of the unknown, dark secrets are brought to light and family ties are put to the test. Now in a race against time with their lives inexplicably destined to be intertwined by fate, they can only ask themselves who was carrying the more damning secret? Hopefully the answer didn't come much too late.
