5/10/2023 0 Comments The war outside by monica hesseWith everything around them falling apart, Margot and Haruko find solace in their growing, secret friendship. And Margot is doing everything she can to keep her family whole as her mother's health deteriorates and her rational, patriotic father becomes a man who distrusts America and fraternizes with Nazis. Haruko finds herself consumed by fear for her soldier brother and distrust of her father, who she knows is keeping something from her. The teens discover that they are polar opposites in so many ways, except for one that seems to override all the others: the camp is changing them, day by day and piece by piece. Haruko and Margot meet at the high school in Crystal City, a "family internment camp" for those accused of colluding with the enemy. The war seemed far away from Margot in Iowa and Haruko in Colorado-until they were uprooted to dusty Texas, all because of the places their parents once called home: Germany and Japan. It's 1944, and World War II is raging across Europe and the Pacific. "A must-read for fans of historical fiction." -Ruta Sepetys, #1 New York Times bestselling author An "important" ( New York Times Book Review), "extraordinary" ( Booklist, starred review) novel of conviction, friendship, and betrayal, from Monica Hesse, the bestselling and award-winning author of Girl in the Blue Coat

Mary Roach is an American author, specializing in popular science. In Bonk, Roach shows us how and why sexual arousal and orgasm, two of the most complex, delightful, and amazing scientific phenomena on earth, can be so hard to achieve and what science is doing to slowly make the bedroom a more satisfying place. Mary Roach, “the funniest science writer in the country” (from The New Yorker), devoted the past two years to stepping behind those doors.Ĭan a person think herself to orgasm? Can a dead man get an erection? Is vaginal orgasm a myth? Why doesn’t Viagra help women-or, for that matter, pandas? The research has taken place behind the closed doors of laboratories, brothels, MRI centers, pig farms, sex-toy R&D labs, and Alfred Kinsey’s attic. The study of sexual physiology-what happens, and why, and how to make it happen better-has been a paying career or a diverting sideline for scientists as far-ranging as Leonardo da Vinci and James Watson. Bonk: The Curious Coupling Science and Sex I think it could be used with children in all elementary grades. Although Scholastic indicates “Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain” would be of interest to 3rd-5th graders, my kindergartener enjoyed listening to it. According to Scholastic Book Wizard, the grade level equivalent for this book is 3.7. Topics such as drought and migration could be related to this book. It could also be integrated with social studies or science when learning about different ecosystems or weather. Because of the repetition, students should be able to remember the sequence of events. It could be used to teach about rhyming or about story sequence. This book has rhythm and a cumulative refrain like “The House That Jack Built” does, which makes it a good read aloud. It was passed down by storytellers until it was written down in 1909. It is a simple story with a clever hero who saves the cattle. This story is traditional literature because it is a folktale. It is about Ki-pat, a herdsman who tries to make it rain during a drought so the cattle will have grass to graze on. “Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain” is a folktale from the Nandi people in Kenya. This humorous Christmas story is the perfect stocking stuffer and a great gift for fans of The Day The Crayons Quit-and all kids who like to color. No candy canes or Santa without Red, no snow without White, no bells or stars without Silver, and no cookies or reindeer without Tan! The crayons agree that they all need to come together to make Christmas special. No candy canes or Santa without Red, no snow. Green Is for Christmas Drew Daywalt, Oliver Jeffers (Illustrator) 3.

In this Christmas story starring the crayons from the #1 New York Times bestseller T he Day The Crayons Quit, Green Crayon is certain that he is the only Christmas color in the box. The story is so well-paced and evocative in times you'll feel like you are in it. Cameron is such a tough nugget: she takes on everything head-on and you'll wish you knew her in real life (or wish you were her). As she begins to develop a relationship with her friend Corey, Cameron's sexuality is discovered by her guardians and she is sent to be converted in a 'de-gaying' camp. Just as she is in need of a supportive role model, she is sent to live with her conservative aunt and grandmother. The Miseducation of Cameron Post is about Cameron, a girl living in Montana who has just lost her parents in a car crash. This book is a gut-punch of a read, but it covers so many issues which remain uncharted in YA fiction that I think everyone should pick it up. The Miseducation of Cameron Post by Emily M. All My Friends are Superheroes is a sweet and touching novella, packed full of more truthful observations about love and humans than most full-sized novels achieve. Yes, an odd premise, but Kaufman's book is so funny, very strange and quite romantic. When she is sure he has left her, she gets on a plane to start a new life and Tom has the duration of the flight to convince her he is still there. But on his wedding day, his wife is hypnotised by another superhero and can no longer see Tom. But he is friends with a lot of them and even married one, The Perfectionist. All My Friends are Superheroes by Andrew Kaufman Read a review by site member TheBookAddictedGirl 2. 5/9/2023 0 Comments James romm dying every dayThe distant mountains seemed nearer than I could ever remember. To the east and to the west everything was flattened. Hiroshima was no longer a city, but a burnt-over prairie. With no alternative but to endure the iodine, I tried to divert myself by looking out the window. She had begun to paint my wounds with iodine and no amount of entreaty would make her stop. Miss Kado finished the examination, and in a moment it felt as if my chest was on fire. Indeed, one thing was common to everyone I saw-complete silence. An old woman lay near me with an expression of suffering on her face but she made no sound. But then I saw a naked man, and it occurred to me that, like myself, some strange thing had deprived them of their clothes. A naked woman carrying a naked baby came into view. These people puzzled me until I suddenly realized that they had been burned and were holding their arms out to prevent the painful friction of raw surfaces rubbing together. Others moved as though in pain, like scarecrows, their arms held out from their bodies with forearms and hands dangling. There were the shadowy forms of people, some of whom looked like walking ghosts. Gradually things around me came into focus. How odd! Where were my drawers and undershirt? To my surprise I discovered that I was completely naked. A profound weakness overcame me, so I stopped to regain my strength.

WilsonIt was one of those books that kept me turning the pages-I literally read the entire book in two or three sittings. It had the gritty, grim feel of a classic spaghetti Western, but the addition of the steampunk elements made it truly fantastical. But I LOVED this book from start to finish! I didn’t know what to expect from this novel, as I’m not a huge fan of Westerns. If the land doesn’t get you, the Coilhunter will. So, welcome, fair folk, to the Wild North. Plagued by nightmares, he’s made himself into a living one, the kind the criminals and conmen fear. The trail has long gone cold, but there are changes happening, the kind of changes that uncover footprints and spent bullet casings. He’s in it for justice, and there’s a lot of justice that needs to be paid.īetween each kill, he’s looking for someone who has kept out of his crosshairs for quite a while-the person who murdered his wife and children. A mechanic and toymaker by trade, a bounty hunter by circumstance. Welcome to the Wild North, a desolate wasteland where criminals go to hide-if they can outlast the drought and the dangers of the desert. Definitely a book worth reading if you want to try something new. It’s a classic Western-style story (complete with runaway mine cart!), but with elements of steampunk thrown in. For Book Review Wednesday, I’ve something a bit unusual. |
