The film adaptation of Margaret Laurence's The Stone Angel, starring acclaimed actresses Ellen Burstyn and Ellen Page, and introducing Christine Horne, opens in theatres May 9, 2008. This special fortieth-anniversary edition of Margaret Laurence’s most celebrated novel will introduce readers again to one of the most memorable characters in Canadian fiction. Hagar Shipley is stubborn, querulous, self-reliant, and, at ninety, with her life nearly behind her, she makes a bold last step towards freedom and independence. As her story unfolds, we are drawn into her past. We meet Hagar as a young girl growing up in a black prairie town; as the wife of a virile but unsuccessful farmer with whom her marriage was stormy; as a mother who dominates her younger son; and, finally, as an old woman isolated by an uncompromising pride and by the stern virtues she has inherited from her pioneer ancestors. Vivid, evocative, moving, The Stone Angel celebrates the triumph of the spirit, and reveals Margaret Laurence at the height of her powers as a writer of extraordinary craft and profound insight into the workings of the human heart.

The Nazis may have taken their home, but the family still has a guardian angel In this emotionally rich story, a little girl and her family live happily in Paris until Nazi soldiers arrive druing World War II. She and her family must flee or risk being sent to a concentration camp, so they run into the woods, where they meet resistance fighters. But they're still not safe. They must cross tall mountains and sail in a rickety boat to England. Yet the whole time they're struggling to survive, the little girl thinks of the stone angel near their apartment in Paris and imagines it watching over her family. Offering a never-before-told story of the Holocaust, Jane Yolen returns to the material she mined in the award-winning THE DEVIL'S ARITHMETIC. Filled with sorrow, hope, comfort, and triumph, this gorgeously illustrated book is sure to become a modern classic–offering adults a perfect vehicle with which to share a difficult subject. Praise for STONE ANGEL: * "This story provides a wonderful addition to materials about World War II and the Holocaust, and is appropriate for even the gentlest of readers."--School Library Connection *STARRED*

"From 1501 to 1505, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo Buonarroti both lived and worked in Florence. Leonardo was a charming, handsome fifty year-old at the peak of his career. Michelangelo was a temperamental sculptor in his mid-twenties, desperate to make a name for himself. The two despise each other."--Front jacket flap.

The imagery of a sculptor chipping away to free an angel from the stone suggests the idea that children have "miraculous human" qualities that can be released if a sculptor takes the time to free the child. In this book Doug Whitener asserts that parents and teachers are the lead sculptors who can help free children to live meaningful and responsible lives. Mr. Whitener draws upon forty-five years of experience as a parent and as an educator to outline key child guidance ideas. The reader is treated to over forty stories that illustrate principles from real life events in homes and schools. The near death experiences Mr. Whitener has had with cancer have caused him to celebrate every moment he has had as an educator of children. In each chapter the reader is invited to pause and reflect about his or her opportunities to appreciate childhood and to help children "Strengthen their Wings." Key child development concepts in the book include the following:* unconditional love* critical learning activities* empathy development and relationship building* responsibilities, empowerment, and child uniqueness* family mission statement Key child discipline concepts in the book include the following:* understanding yourself as an adult, positive modeling, and support systems* defining discipline as a teaching-learning process focused upon the development of inner discipline* determining expectations, teaching expectations, and building competencies* understanding the purpose of misbehavior* meaningful logical consequences* restorative justice* the intensive-care child This book is a must-read for parents, teachers, guidance counselors, school psychologists, family therapists, and school principals. "This amazing resource not only supports parents and teachers with numerous fantastic strategies to effectively provide discipline and love to students; it is written through Doug's remarkable life experiences. You will learn how to successfully incorporate respectful, solution-oriented approaches to challenges faced in the classroom and home. You'll discover the power of fundamental principles of child discipline through frequent real-world examples—ready for immediate application. You'll finish the book feeling like you have just gained valuable advice from a parent and educator who knows exactly how it feels to be the Dad, Mom, and or teacher in today's world."--Rick Harris, Director, Northern Nevada/Tahoe Leadership AcademyFormer Deputy Superintendent of Washoe County School District "Every page of this book expresses the author's optimism, belief in and appreciation for the good all children possess, and the importance of discipline as a teaching/learning process. I encourage parents, teachers, guidance counselors, school psychologists, family therapists and school counselors to invest the time to read this vital book. We can be hopeful that the kindness, wisdom, and sensibility of his words are embodied in schools and homes across the country."--Meggin McIntosh, PhDThe PhD of ProductivityEmphasis on Excellence, Inc.Reno, NV https://meggin.com

His job is to vanquish the demon threat. But when a mortal woman gets stuck in the crossfire, can he protect her from the new target on her back? Titan is second-in-command of the fallen sentinel angels, a fearsome group of earthbound angels who are tasked with protecting heaven from the demon charmers. The eternal struggle has cost many lives, one of which Titan still blames himself for six months later. But when a mortal woman becomes a target of his enemy, he saves her—only to discover she looks just like the woman he lost months ago. Not a day goes by that Rose Meyer doesn’t spend looking for her twin sister. With a newfound lead at her fingertips, she heads out in search of clues to her sister’s whereabouts. What she finds, however, is a frightening magic user intent on killing her—and a hulking angel of gleaming metallic titanium who shuttles her out of the kill zone. And refuses to let her out of his protection. Her touch has sparked a celestial power in him that has been lost since he and his brothers fell. But as Titan’s power grows, so does the mysterious bond between him and the woman occupying his every thought. When they learn that Rose unknowingly possesses what the demons are searching for, their deep connection is tested as tensions run high. Because this elemental angel refuses to put her in harm’s way. Even if it means shattering his heart in the process.

Lilly And The Angel: A Journey's End "GIANT FLYING TURTLES! KILLER SOCK PIRANHAS! MAGICAL GIFT BOXES! SAVAGE TREE WARRIORS! SCRAP METAL MERCENARIES! PENCILED STRINGED ASSASSINS!--as if we haven't seen it all!" The conclusion to this epic three-part journey has finally arrived, and it seems as if Manacle Lillian Faithe Christians and Aegis Corinthian Angel Creation Of God are finally putting their differences aside and warming up to one another. But is everything as "nice" as it seems? It is now Friday afternoon, five days since the appearance of this scarred substitute angel to Lilly's home, and there still seems to be no true way of telling if the two are actually any closer to their individual freedoms than they were when they first met. Behind the scenes of Lilly's imagination looms the whisper of an eerie struggle of good and evil, as a new, unidentified, and viciously ruthless attacker has Snuggle Bug severely damaged and on the run within Lilly's mind. But this secret threat within her creativity may be spilling over into realms more dangerous than "just" her "imagination," and the consequences--for some, will prove to be quite fatal. A shattered Talion Shield--secret encrypted notes and protection deficits plague the scene as everything they've learned from Sunday up to this point will be called into account in this final installment. But this time, it's going to take more than Oni'mods, golden mystery stars, and Spirit Lenses to see their way clear as the sum of all their previous battles and narrow victories now hint at being merely "preparation" for the ultimate and most "final" of tests.

A can’t-miss read for fans of Deborah Harkness and Karen Marie Moning, The Angel Stone weaves a tale of ancient folklore and thrilling fantasy with a passionate love story that transcends time. For Callie McFay, a half-witch/half-fey professor of folklore and Gothic literature, the fight to save the enchanted town of Fairwick, New York, is far from over. After a hostile takeover by the Grove—a sinister group of witches and their cohorts—many of the local fey have been banished or killed, including Callie’s one true love. And in place of the spirit of tolerance and harmony, the new administration at Fairwick College has fostered an air of danger and distrust. With her unique magical abilities, Callie is the only one who can rescue her friends from exile and restore order to the school—a task that requires her to find the Angel Stone, a legendary talisman of immense power. Propelled on an extraordinary quest back to seventeenth-century Scotland, Callie risks her life to obtain the stone. Yet when she encounters a sexy incarnation of her lost love, she finds the greater risk is to her heart. As the fate of Fairwick hangs in the balance, Callie must make a wrenching choice: reclaim a chance for eternal passion or save everything she holds dear. Praise for The Angel Stone “Intelligently written and visually appealing . . . This story is a sheer delight.”—RT Book Reviews “Dark skillfully entwines the past and present, the mundane and magical, love and loss, to spin a beautifully nuanced and sensuous tale rooted in legend and lore.”—Booklist Praise for Juliet Dark “Dark’s letter-perfect gothic style is a satisfying tribute to previous gothic novels, and the paranormal elements, including incubi, fae, vampires, and witches, make this a stellar romance.”—Booklist, on The Demon Lover “Fast moving . . . should appeal to readers of Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse novels.”—New York Journal of Books, on The Water Witch
