The Diary of Aaliyah Anderson by Randall Barnes Pdf

Meet Aaliyah Anderson, a beautiful, intelligent, ambitious thirteen-year-old young woman ready to take over the world. With her mom being a superstar broadcast journalist and her older brother Damon being an acclaimed writer and star sports player. Aaliyah lives a fantastic life. Aaliyah quickly learns that her good life, doesn't separate her from life's problems. She has to deal with tons of hardships and avoid many obstacles along her path to achieving her short term goal of finally making it to high school and what she feels will bring her closer to her dreams of being a CEO of a company. Aaliyah has to deal with overwhelming family issues such as the divorce of her parents and the result of her "father's" unfaithfulness, infidelity, and a family secret that turns her world upside down. As if her family wasn't messed up enough, her eleven-year old brother turns to the streets and joins the Eastside Rydahz, one of the most notorious gangs in the city. Her eldest brother Jeffery, or high-ranked Rydah 808, hates everything about Aaliyah and she doesn't understand it. All Aaliyah wants is to have the ideal loving, united family and it hurts her that their situation is seemingly fractured beyond repair. To make things even more pressing, she lives in the ruthless city of Willowsfield, statistically the #1 most dangerous city in America, where senseless community violence is the norm and life expectancy is low. With the pressure to succeed and make it out of the ditch that Aaliyah calls her hometown, she still has to deal with more problems that test her patience. With its realistic characters, life-like setting and dynamic message, The Diary of Aaliyah Anderson is entertaining and a sure fire conversation starter on what we need to do as a generation.

Le Journal Intime d'Aaliyah Anderson by Randall Barnes Pdf

Rencontrez Aaliyah Anderson, une belle, intelligente et ambitieuse jeune femme de treize ans prête à conquérir le monde. Avec sa mère étant une journaliste de diffusion superstar et son frère aîné Damon étant un écrivain acclamé et un joueur de sport vedette. Aaliyah mène une vie fantastique. Aaliyah apprend rapidement que sa belle vie ne la sépare pas des problèmes de la vie. Elle doit faire face à des tonnes de difficultés et éviter de nombreux obstacles sur son chemin pour atteindre son objectif à court terme d'atteindre enfin le lycée et ce qu'elle pense la rapprochera de son rêve de devenir PDG d'une entreprise. Aaliyah doit faire face à des problèmes familiaux accablants tels que le divorce de ses parents et le résultat de l'infidélité, de l'infidélité de son "père" et d'un secret de famille qui bouleverse son monde. Comme si sa famille n'était pas assez chamboulée, son frère de onze ans descend dans la rue et rejoint l'Eastside Rydahz, l'un des gangs les plus notoires de la ville. Son frère aîné Jeffery, ou Rydah 808 de haut rang, déteste tout à propos d'Aaliyah et elle ne le comprend pas. Tout ce qu'Aaliyah veut, c'est avoir la famille idéale, aimante et unie, et cela lui fait mal que leur situation soit apparemment brisée de manière irréparable. Pour rendre les choses encore plus urgentes, elle vit dans la ville impitoyable de Willowsfield, statistiquement la ville la plus dangereuse d'Amérique, où la violence communautaire insensée est la norme et l'espérance de vie est faible. Avec la pression de réussir et de sortir du fossé qu'Aaliyah appelle sa ville natale, elle doit encore faire face à d'autres problèmes qui mettent sa patience à l'épreuve. Avec ses personnages réalistes, son cadre réaliste et son message dynamique, The Diary of Aaliyah Anderson est divertissant et un déclencheur de conversation infaillible sur ce que nous devons faire en tant que génération.

Six were taken. Eleven years later, five come back--with no idea of where they've been. A riveting mystery for fans of We Were Liars. Eleven years ago, six kindergartners went missing without a trace. After all that time, the people left behind moved on, or tried to. Until today. Today five of those kids return. They're sixteen, and they are . . . fine. Scarlett comes home and finds a mom she barely recognizes, and doesn't really recognize the person she's supposed to be, either. But she thinks she remembers Lucas. Lucas remembers Scarlett, too, except they're entirely unable to recall where they've been or what happened to them. Neither of them remember the sixth victim, Max--the only one who hasn't come back. Which leaves Max's sister, Avery, wanting answers. She wants to find her brother--dead or alive--and isn't buying this whole memory-loss story. But as details of the disappearance begin to unfold, no one is prepared for the truth. This unforgettable novel--with its rich characters, high stakes, and plot twists--will leave readers breathless.

Lunch With The Wild Frontiers by Phill Savidge Pdf

Phill Savidge is widely credited as being the main instigator of the Britpop music movement that swept the UK in the mid-1990s. Savidge was co-founder and head of legendary public relations company Savage & Best, the company that represented most of the artists associated with the scene, including Suede, Pulp, The Verve, Elastica, Kula Shaker, Spiritualized, Menswear, The Auteurs, and Black Box Recorder. Savidge suggests that Britpop came about "by accident" because he refused to represent any American bands. He subsequently ended up with an extremely accessible, media-friendly roster that "lived ’round the corner" and included the most exciting press-worthy acts of the era. His unique experience at the epicentre of Britpop led to many intimate, not entirely self-congratulatory encounters with a who’s who of popular culture — including Brett Anderson, Damon Albarn, Roy Orbison, David Bowie, Joe Strummer, Lou Reed, Michael Barrymore, Richard Ashcroft, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Mick Jagger, George Lucas, Damien Hirst, and Dave Stewart, among others. But did he really Sellotape a cassette of Suede’s Animal Nitrate single to a purple velvet cushion — with a note that said "another great disappointment" — and then bike it to the NME? And could he and Jarvis Cocker really have fallen out simply because a journalist thought he was more glamorous than the Pulp front man? If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to represent Hirst, Cocker, and The Verve in the same decade, and then wake up in bed with Keith Allen in the Ritz in Paris — courtesy of Mohammed Al Fayed — then you should read this book. Imagine David Sedaris with a hangover and an expense account and you’re halfway to appreciating the delinquent delights of Lunch With The Wild Frontiers.
