While on holiday in the Isle of Wight, London schoolgirl Laurella Swift makes an amazing discovery; she can travel through time and dimensions. Threads from a charity shop rug transport the mixed-race 10-year-old back to the heart of ancient Persia, where she befriends Artafarnah and his mischievous pet lion cub, Zareen. Artafarnah is the son of Pantea, one of Persia's greatest female warriors, but when the boy falls into the clutches of a murderous enemy only Laurella can save him.Laurella Swift and the Keys of Time is the first in a new series of Laurella Swift adventures. The historical fantasy takes middle-grade readers on a rip-roaring escapade to the court of Cyrus the Great. By imagining how a modern girl would attempt to make sense of an ancient and opulent world, readers are invited to share Laurella's emotions, consider issues such as gender equality, racial identity, friendship and mortality, and explore abstract concepts like perpetual existence. Readers are also encouraged to discover more about ancient Persia through the inclusion of an author's note, a selection of useful links, a recipe idea and an ancient cuneiform writing activity.

Anna Politkovskaya

Triangle Square 出版
2021/07/05 出版

The deeply researched and partly imagined story of the fearless, internationally recognized journalist who was assassinated for believing that 'words can save lives.' Say No to Fear, part of the They Said No series of histories, tells the story of Anna Politkovskaya's courageous life narrated from the perspective of her longtime mentor and friend, the dissident writer Vassily Pachoutinsev. From their first meeting when she was a young literature student writing about poet Marina Tsvetaeva to her rise as an internationally recognized journalist, through Vassily we see Anna develop from junior reporter, to covering social issues after the fall of the Soviet Union, to becoming a fearless defender of human rights. Throughout the author brings the history to life by including key conversations that might have happened between them at pivotal moments in Politkovskaya's life. A scathing critic of the second Chechen war, Politkovskaya published most of her political work while working at the Novaya Gazeta, a newspaper at the forefront of the fight for free expression in Russia. For their outspokenness several members of its staff were murdered, presumably silenced by Russia's Vladimir Putin and Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov. Even after a poisoning attack and a mock execution, Politkovskaya persisted, adamant in her fight for her children's and grandchildren's world, critiquing the situation in Chechnya and Putin until her assassination in 2006. The narrator, Pachoutinsev, explains how her legacy lives on, inspiring those in pursuit of justice and the truth both in Russia and abroad.

Nine Lives of Kaz

Ingram 出版
2021/06/28 出版

An extraordinary survival story of two families' journey to freedom during World War II.When you hear about how Stalin tormented hundreds of thousands of people and the devastating stories throughout his overwhelming existence, you wonder how any child could endure his torture and survive through the pain and agony of his wrath. But both Rysia Szuber and Kaz Kiellerman did.Nine Lives of Kaz is based on the amazing journey of Kaz, who was only eleven years old when he and his family were forcibly taken from their home on February 10, 1940, and loaded onto freight trains, along with thousands of other Polish people, to travel to Gulag camps in frigid Siberia. Victoria also recounts Rysia's journey, as she and her family were also among those thousands forced to leave Poland and work in labour camps.After the British signed an amnesty agreement with Stalin in August 1941, the displaced Polish people were free to leave the camps. However, unable to go home due to the ongoing war and impoverished, they were subject to years of extreme hardship, as the British regime moved the displaced people from one country to the next, often setting up barracks and camps in desolate places.Many times, Kaz's family had barely any food or warmth to keep them alive. With cunning and stealth, Kaz often had to break the law to help feed his family. And many times, his courageous adventures brought him close to death.Based on true events, from December 1939 to 1946, Nine Lives of Kaz is a remarkable tale of a young person's resilience, resourcefulness, and hope.

2021/06/23 出版

The queen mother of the seventh Kingdom must make a difficult decision. It is time for her to select the next king, but there are seven princes, who are all equally qualified to sit on the throne. The people; however, demand that all seven brothers rule as one even though it is against the law of their supreme god. The people did not care. All they want to do is boast and brag to their neighbors. Like the vibrant colors of the woven fabric called kente, this story artfully weaves together the history, customs, and culture of the Akan people of West Africa. Written in the format of a traditional folktale, this beautiful nontraditional narrative is interlaced with hidden meanings, abundant symbols, and ornate proverbs. Intertwine throughout the chapters are words in the Asante Twi language bringing a cultural authenticity to the text. Follow the happiness of the people as the consequences of their actions slowly deteriorate their joy as they succumb to the great cost of their foolishness. When the people realize the price of their arrogance they withdraw into self-pity and indecision. The queen mother knows what she has to do. She must find the one destined to rule. What character traits will she use to determine the true heart of a king? But when she finds him will the people listen! At the end of this tale, at the end of your journey, the proverbs, and traditional symbols will formalize and merge into one compelling life lesson about leadership.

The Jayhawker Cleveland

David,Hann  著
2021/06/22 出版

The Free State of Kansas and the slave state of Missouri are the backdrop of this tale of heroic deeds and fatal mistakes. David Hann takes the reader on a trail ride through a gritty time in the American West when people were pitted against each other and some had to choose sides in a life-and-death battle of ideas.A legend in his own time, Cleveland rode into Leavenworth alone in June, 1861 to view his own "Wanted Dead or Alive" poster. No one in that town of 12,000 inhabitants, nor any soldiers from Fort Leavenworth, attempted to collect the reward, and Cleveland rode slowly out of town, tipping his hat. The Jayhawker Cleveland is a story of a man and his times. Culled from 1860s newspaper articles and published reports of a tumultuous and violent era in American history, Hann describes how this liberator of slaves and horses found brief but deadly fame during the Kansas Missouri Border War. Intended for the Young Adult audience, older folks will surely enjoy the bravado and adventure portrayed so adeptly in Hann's The Jayhawker Cleveland."Clawed from the dust and given breath, The Jayhawker Cleveland presents an historic figure now largely forgotten who grew from a naive youth to a man of ruthless courage fit to a violent age. Fast paced and gripping, the story takes you to the bloody border of Kansas and Missouri at the outbreak of the Civil War. No doubt our hero, Marshall Cleveland, would be pleased by his dramatic portrayal herein." -Melvin Litton, author of Caspion, I Joaquin, Geminga, The Kansas Murder Trilogy

Night of the Burning Tents

Ingram 出版
2021/06/07 出版

"A vivid account of the Ludlow Massacre--one of the most shameful events in American history, told by the children who lived through it" When her dad is killed in a mining accident, 12 year-old Katie Scully takes on the job of supporting her family. Wearing her brother's clothes, she enters the rough and tumble, boys-only world of the coal breaker. Bullied by the meanest boy in the breaker, Katie learns how to fight back. Soon the breaker boys are caught up in the Great Coalfield Strike of 1913. Enraged over dangerous conditions in the mines, Colorado's coal miners form a union and walk out, setting up living quarters in tents just outside the town of Ludlow. The union survives, despite hunger, cold, the worst blizzard in Colorado history, and the harassment of machine gun-wielding thugs. Determined to break the strike, the mine owners send State Guardsmen to destroy the tent city. Under cover of darkness, soldiers torch the camp, killing fourteen women and children--an event that becomes known as the Ludlow Massacre. The Guard's brutal commander claims the fire was an accident. Katie, the only witness to the atrocity, now faces an agonizing decision: keep quiet in fear of what might happen to her own family, or step forward and tell the truth, hoping to find justice for the victims. "Vivid period details, strong characters, and a rip-roaring pace" --ARC reviewer "Thrilling--not a dull moment" --ARC reviewer "Brings life and dimension to labor history. The hard experiences of these young characters illuminates what the union struggle was about, and what was endured to win decent working conditions for all Americans. The kids in the story laugh, make friends, make do, and begin to make decisions for themselves. Children will keep turning pages to see what happens to their favorites." --Kevin O'Connell, author of Pearl Harbor, the Missing Motive

My dear sister Janet . . . It is 2:00 in the morning and most of our men are asleep in their dugouts -- yet I could not sleep myself before writing to you of the wonderful events of Christmas Eve. In truth, what happened seems almost like a fairy tale, and if I hadn't been through it myself, I would scarce believe it. Just imagine: While you and the family sang carols before the fire there in London, I did the same with enemy soldiers here on the battlefields of France!"The Christmas Truce of 1914 is one of the most extraordinary incidents not only of World War I but of all history. Providing inspiration for songs, books, plays, and movies, it has endured as an archetypal image of peace. Yet much about the historic event remains shrouded in myth and legend.In this fictional letter -- illustrated in authentic detail by Wendy Edelson -- award-winning author Aaron Shepard draws from firsthand accounts of soldiers at the front to portray the truce in its true nature and spirit.TEACHERS AND LIBRARIANS -- A READER'S THEATER SCRIPT FOR THIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE ON AARON'S WEB SITE.//////////////////////////////////////////Aaron Shepard's many books for young people have won honors from the American Library Association, the New York Public Library, the Bank Street College of Education, the American Folklore Society, and the National Council for the Social Studies.Wendy Edelson has been honored with the Pacific Northwest Book Award, the Moonbeam Children's Book Award, and the Mom's Choice Award.

Great for a readaloud to children!" -- Beth Nolan Conners, Beth's Book-Nook Blog (blog), Nov. 12, 2014"Delightful . . . A really beautiful rendition of those fantastic events when, in the midst of war, the spirit of Christmas overruled the fighting and peace reigned on the battlefields." -- Elaine Brent, Splashes Into Books (blog), Dec. 7, 2014"Lovely . . . It evokes the time and place with vivid description and will certainly spark talk of why there is war . . . The artwork is stunning." -- Lynne Vanderveen Smith, children's librarian"Great to use with readers of various ages, especially in a social studies or American history curriculum." -- Karen Biggs-Tucker, co-author, "Transforming Literacy Teaching for the Era of Higher Standards""I would recommend this for any school library . . . Includes facts about life in the trenches of World War I -- but without making it too frightening for young readers. Descriptions add realism to the scenes.

It could start a class discussion or even be used as a model text for students who are writing up their own narratives based on research into the war." -- Suzanne Costner, school librarian"What a wonderful way to show children that, even though there are differences between people, there are also similarities that can tie us together, even in a war zone." -- Kim Napier, teacher
