Leaving Jetty Road by Rebecca Burton Pdf

Nat, Lise, and Sofia are best friends. This year, their last year of high school, none of them foresees the changes that will occur in their lives. This is the year that Nat—the go-between, the peacemaker—gets a job and meets a drop-dead gorgeous chef named Josh. This is the year that Lise—quiet, shy, and solitary Lise—decides to take control of her life by taking control of her weight. This is the year that Sofia—the ultimate guy magnet—gets her nose pierced and falls seriously in love for the first time in her life. This is the year that will change each of them forever.

Alternating Narratives in Fiction for Young Readers by Perry Nodelman Pdf

This book is about the implications of novels for young readers that tell their stories by alternating between different narrative lines focused on different characters. It asks: if you make sense of fiction by identifying with one main character, how do you handle two or more of them? Do novels with alternating narratives diverge from longstanding conventions and represent a significant change in literature for young readers? If not, how do these novels manage to operate within the parameters of those conventions? This book considers answers to these questions by means of a series of close readings that explore the structural, educational and ideological implications of a variety of American, British, Canadian and Australian novels for children and for young adults.

The Brotherhood of the Red Nile: America Responds by Dan Perkins Pdf

This is the final book of the Brotherhood Trilogy, but not the end of your relationship with the principal plays. The journey we have taken has been full of twists and turns, surprises, and almost believable events. Many of you have written to me about your experiences with the first two installments. Be warned -- you will find a different tone in this final book, “America Responds”. People who have read the third book of the series earlier wondered if it were possible to publish it before the 2014 mid-term election? I wrote all three books to try and educate America about the serious challenges in fighting terrorists. Book three uses fiction to convey some significant ways to prevent a cataclysmic attack, make America strong again, protect our borders and most of all, make us all proud to be Americans. Dan Perkins, 2015 Dan Perkins has finished his first trilogy in what some say was an almost impossible timeframe. His books have left some people’s questions unanswered and Dan hopes to answer those outstanding questions and perhaps raise some new ones in book three. In the future, he would like to also try his hand at writing historical fiction, with Abraham Lincoln as the subject. For now though, Dan is working on his current project in a new book called “Terrorist Gold”, featuring favorite characters from the Trilogy, Ted Baker and the Pathfinders. You will have an opportunity, as in his previous books, to read the first chapter of “Terrorist Gold” at the end of this book. Dan is very appreciative of your feedback and encourages you to return to your place of purchase and write a review.

Walkabout Northern California by Tom Courtney Pdf

Europe is renowned for romantic inn-to-inn vacation opportunities on paths worn by centuries of travelers. Modern-day trekkers can hike the Alps or Southern France, explore the British Isles at three miles an hour, or pilgrimage through Northern Spain to Santiago de Compostela, stopping each night at a hostel or inn. Now adventurers in California are creating a new tradition of multi-day treks from inn to inn in the U.S. Walkabout Northern California: Hiking Inn to Inn describes twelve walks (or "walkabouts") along the wild Pacific Coast, through the majestic Sierra Nevada Mountains, in the Cascades and through the parklands around the San Francisco Bay. Each walkabout, organized by individual chapters, contains all the information to create a memorable and invigorating vacation, with a sketch map, recommendations for optional maps, mile-by-mile details of the route, and logistical tips on places to stay and eat. Many trips contain variations for different lengths of time and budgets. With a light daypack and a few reservations, hikers can travel for days on California's breathtaking coastline or in mountain ranges. Each day on a walkabout ends with a comfortable bed, a glass of wine, a good meal and maybe even a hot tub. Some of the hikes can take a week, but many can be enjoyed in a weekend. Some are challenging, but the majority are perfect for the casual hiker. The accommodations for the walkabouts include a B&B perched on the cliffs above the Pacific, a resort on the shore of a Sierra lake, a historic hotel in a coastal village, a hostel in a national park, and a retreat center that soothes the soul.
