The Endless Summer - An Adventure Story of Guam, REVISITED
On the lush island of Guam, a U.S. Territory in the Pacific, young brothers Ike 12 and Frankie, 8 begin their summer with adventures at their family lancho, from rescuing a runt piglet, exploring a forbidden WWII cave, bettle-nut and mango picking, to hunting and slaughtering pigs for parties. When a near-fatal moray eel attack lands their widowed father, Daniet in the hospital, he meets a kind American nurse, Michele. Her entry into their lives challenges the family dynamic, forcing the boys to navigate new feelings about loyalty, loss, and what it means to heal.Widower Daniet and his sons in this story spend their summer at their family ranch in the 1970s. This was a period of significant cultural and developmental transition. The themes of importance of family, respect for culture and traditions, and humanity's relationship with nature are very important. Culturally significant to the indigenous people of Guam also includes recognizing the importance of family, friends, food, fangnginge' (respecting elders), fiestas, fishing, farm animals, and finally enjoying life every day!Use of the CHamoru language, complete with an extensive glossary makes this fiction chapter novel exciting for children, teenagers, and young adults. In the book, there are three appendices at the end of the novel: Glossary, Villages and Fiestas, and a 15-Chapter Quiz, great for the everyday reader. For the Parents and Educators Edition of this novel, some seven more appendences include the Quiz Answer Key, Books and Publications of Wellein's past writing, a List of some 30-chapter Illustrations, Guam - Then and Now, in addition to an article about the mother (Agnes Atoigue) in the story, based on her real life. There is a section on Biographies and Photos of contributing editors, illustrator, writer, foreword writer, and CHamoru language and culture specialist, and finally an article about reading levels (readability) of the novel, by chapter.The natural world of Guam is portrayed as both a source of adventure and a place of significant danger. The boys hike through the jungle, swim in the ocean, but they also face threats from a Brown Tree Snake and a Moray Eel. This duality of adventure and danger suggests a theme of respect for nature's power and the need for wisdom when interacting with both, a lesson the boys learn over the three-months of summer. CHamoru culture also places a recurring motif, to include the boys preparing for a village fiesta, building a pigpen, and almost drowning in a mountain stream. Cultural elements are not just background details, but an integral part to the characters' identities and actions, highlighting the value of preserving cultural heritage in a fast-changing world.Traditional values, self-sufficient CHamoru life, with its pigpens, farm animals, and surrounding jungle, as well as an environment defined by its tropical climate are important. Lush flora, dangerous fauna, and the lingering presence of WWII old munitions and discovered bottles of morphine together with abandoned Imperial Japanese caves (originally used by the indigenous people there during the occupation) reveal communal activities and challenges, to overcome.

Beatrice and the Nightingale
In 1924, an audience of more than one million listeners across the world listened in amazement to the first live radio broadcast of a nightingale accompanying the young cellist Beatrice Harrison. On May 19, 1924, a duet between a young cellist and a male nightingale was broadcast across the British Commonwealth as far away as Canada, India, and Australia to over one million listeners. It was an unprecedented collective experience made possible by the invention of the radio and a new microphone that picked up sounds of nature. Beatrice Harrison, considered one of the greatest cellists of the 20th century and a musical prodigy, was that cellist. This biography describes Beatrice's singular dedication to music from a very early age. At the age of eighteen months, Beatrice attended her first concert. Catching sight of a cello and hearing it for the first time, she was bewitched and immediately began asking to play it. She got her first cello when she was about eight years old. Later, her parents moved the family to Germany so Beatrice could study with one of the best cello teachers. There, at age seventeen, she was awarded a prestigious prize, the youngest artist and only cellist to win at that time. Back in the UK, the family moved to Surrey, England and Beatrice's career flourished. One evening while Beatrice was practicing her cello in the garden, she heard a creature repeating the music she was playing. It turned out to be a nightingale. She played many nights with the bird and was completely enthralled. Wanting to share the experience, she convinced the head of the newly formed BBC to take a chance on a live broadcast from her garden. The resulting duet was a smashing success and Beatrice received more than 50,000 letters in response. Overnight, she became known as the Lady of the Nightingales and for twelve years thereafter the cellist and the bird were broadcast annually to BBC listeners from her garden in Surrey.
