5/13/2023 0 Comments Other words for home reviewThink House on Mango Street… accessible reading but a lot of details and inferences to talk through. She’s an excellent reader, and this book is easy to read in terms of level, but the prose is so spare that it requires a lot of higher level thinking. I read this book with my 8 year and it is so beautiful (I often read ahead because I enjoyed the style so much). But any reader who's ever struggled to fit in after moving to a new town or felt alone on the first day at a new school will easily identify with Jude. The novel addresses serious and timely topics (the war in Syria, prejudice, what it means to be a refugee), that some parents may find too mature for younger readers. There are a couple of brief mentions of two girls getting their first periods. A handful of violent episodes (a bombing and a police raid) are described in only a few words and never graphically. Only one other student at her new school looks like her and and she's trying to understand why she's not seen as simply a girl, but instead now has a label: Middle Eastern Muslim. It's a novel in free verse written in the voice of Jude, a 12-year-old Syrian refugee who comes to live with her uncle's family in Ohio. Parents need to know that Jasmine Warga's Other Words for Home won a 2020 Newbery Honor. Jude watches old American movies ( Runaway Bride, Legally Blond, Pretty Woman) and she and her brother sing along with Whitney Houston. 5/13/2023 0 Comments Homeric hymn to artemisHis service as bondsman to the mortal Admetos.

Between 17, the bulk of more than 50,000 enslaved Africans were kidnapped from the aptly named Rice Coast, the traditional rice-growing region between Guinea and Guinea-Bissau and the western Ivory Coast where part of my African forebearers are from, and whose heart is in modern-day Sierra Leone and Liberia. The journey of rice to the US is the journey of the people whose labour and knowledge led to its successful cultivation. It waited at Bunce Island in the Sierra Leone estuary, bobbing in the water, waiting for supplies and a cargo of "choice healthy slaves" that would be sold at auction by scramble on the deck or by the wharf when it landed at its final destination: the swampy, moss-draped Carolina Lowcountry. The ship on which she was brought started its journey in Liverpool or London and made its way south along the upper Guinea Coast. Her back bore the letters "R.A.C.E." – Royal African Company of England – seared into her flesh with a brand. She was a member of the Mende people of Sierra Leone. Just before the American Revolution, a woman whose name I may never know disembarked a ship in the harbour of Charleston, South Carolina, destined for a rice field. This gothic horror comic, following in the footsteps of Angela Carter and Shirley Jackson, tells the story of a nameless woman who enters a castle late at night for some unknown purpose. When I Arrived at the Castle, Carroll’s latest work, is no exception. When I Arrived at the Castle Emily CarrollĪ review copy of this book was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Her stories get under your skin, seeping back into your memory when you catch a glimpse of a bottle of lotion, a beautiful doll, a banner ad for an unfamiliar webcomic. There are few modern comic creators doing horror as well as Emily Carroll. After all who’d want a dead-cop case in uniform-worshipping rural Clanton. Jake Brigance, a small-time attorney, is about to be handed his second capital murder case and his best and only friend has just told him to leave town before that happens. Kofer’s comrades-in-law have been keeping them quiet from him and now those incident reports have gone missing. His biggest problem is the 911 calls Kofer’s girlfriend Josie Gamble made to report his drunken rampages. The “state boys” have been called in to investigate and Ozzy knows trouble is coming. Ozzy Walls has been the sheriff of Ford County for over seven years, the only African-American one in all of Mississippi, elected by a landslide, and Kofer is the first man he’s ever lost. On-duty deputy Stuart Kofer had a heart of gold, an army vet who had served his country, volunteered in schools and civic clubs, and walked through “the colored section on foot, without a gun and with candy for the kids.” Off-duty Stuart had quite the reputation for drinking too much, starting brawls in bars, gambling, and beating his girlfriend and her kids. A deputy sheriff is shot and killed by the teenage son of his girlfriend. The action is set in 1990, in the armpit of a town that is Clanton. In A Time For Mercy, he brings back Jake Brigance, the legal eagle star of A Time To Kill and Sycamore Row. John Grisham is an institution in the field of legal fiction.

YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS NEW HAVEN AND LONDON iii No recent biography in English explores as fully the life and work of Martin Luther long before and far beyond the controversial posting of his 95 Theses in 1517, an event that will soon be celebrated as the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. Relying on the latest research and quoting extensively from Luther’s correspondence, Hendrix paints a richly detailed portrait of an extraordinary man who, while devout and courageous, had a dark side as well. This bold, insightful account of the life of Martin Luther provides a new perspective on one of the most important religious figures in history, focusing on Luther’s entire life, his personal relationships and political motivations, rather than on his theology alone. The author presents Luther as a man of his time: a highly educated scholar and teacher and a gifted yet flawed human being driven by an optimistic yet ultimately unrealized vision of “true religion.” The sixteenth-century German friar whose public conflict with the medieval Roman Church triggered the Protestant Reformation, Martin Luther was neither an unblemished saint nor a single-minded religious zealot according to this provocative new biography by Scott Hendrix. 5/12/2023 0 Comments Rebel in the sands seriesA New York Times bestseller Film rights optioned by Willow Smith But though she's spent years dreaming of leaving Dustwalk, she never imagined she'd gallop away on mythical horse-or that it would take a foreign fugitive to show her the heart of the desert she thought she knew.

She's a gifted gunslinger with perfect aim, but she can't shoot her way out of Dustwalk, the back-country town where she's destined to wind up wed or dead.
