The Nerviest Girl in the World by Melissa Wiley Pdf

A feisty girl from a family of ranchers lands a job as a daredevil stunt girl in the early days of silent film in this adventurous and funny cross between Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken and Ramona. Pearl lives on a ranch where her chores include collecting eggs and feeding ornery ostriches. She has three older brothers, who don't coddle her at all. And she knows a thing or two about horses, too. One day, Pearl's brothers get cushy jobs doing stunts for this new form of entertainment called "moving pictures." They're the Daredevil Donnelly Brothers, a Death-Defying Cowboy Trio. Before she knows it, Pearl has stumbled into being a stunt girl herself--and dreams of becoming a star. The only problem is, her mother has no idea what she's up to. And let's just say she wouldn't be too happy to find out that Pearl's been jumping out of burning buildings in her spare time. Filled with action, humor, and heart--not to mention those pesky ostriches--The Nerviest Girl in the World introduces a spunky heroine whose adventures will have kids on the edge of their seats and whose sense of humor will have them laughing until the very last line.

Pirates on the Prairie by Eric P. Bergeson Pdf

Pirates on the Prairie is a narrative documentary that chronicles the achievements of a remarkable group of athletes, the Pirates, who explode out of tiny Halstad, MN, population 500, in 1952, much to the amazement of the Minnesota media and fans who quickly learn to love them. Author, nurseryman, and American history lover Eric Bergeson, of Fertile, MN, carefully traces the development of Halstad¿s homegrown Pirates, their classmates, and families, while also bringing vividly to life the environment that nourishes them. Readers become part of the seemingly ordinary day-to-day dynamics in Halstad, from the home lives of the players to the play-by-play reports of their movements on the court¿and in the field. Gradually Pirates of the Prairie answers its fundamental question¿how did this happen? What enabled this particular group of boys, at this time, in this place, to perform the large- than-life feats that earned them third place in the 1952 Minnesota state boys basketball tournament and first in the 1953 state baseball tournament¿both against much larger, big-city schools? As excitement builds and hopes grow stronger, readers learn about¿or recall¿life in small-town America, when communities worked hands-on together to support and develop their children. At the same time, we detect a foreboding undercurrent¿a realization that this will also be a story of loss. For Pirates of the Prairie also documents a profound change in rural American culture that those with small-town roots still feel today.
