Book Description
Byron Bear loves candy! He is tired of hunting for berries and nuts in the forest. Though his friend Gus tries to talk him out of this crazy idea, Byron joins a group of children trick-or-treating. The children think Byron’s costume is terrific and name him Boo after he tries to speak with a mouthful of bubble gum. One of the children in the group, Kate, who dressed like a clown, invites Boo over to her house for hot chocolate and pie. Byron learns that Kate’s mom is deaf and, therefore, all the conversations between she and Kate are in sign language. At the end of the evening, Kate tells Boo that she realizes he is not a boy but rather a bear when she can find no zipper on the back of his costume. They part as friends and promise to get together again next Halloween. Maybe even Gus will join them!

The Coyote's Bicycle: The Untold Story of 7,000 Bicycles and the Rise of a Borderland Empire
Author: Kimball Taylor
Publisher: Tin House Books
ISBN: 1941040217
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
For readers of Jon Krakauer and Susan Orlean, The Coyote's Bicycle brings to life a never-before-told phenomenon at our southern border, and the human drama of those who would cross. It wasn’t surprising when the first abandoned bicycles were found along the dirt roads and farmland just across the border from Tijuana, but before long they were arriving in droves. The bikes went from curiosity, to nuisance, to phenomenon. But until they caught the eye of journalist Kimball Taylor, only a small cadre of human smugglers?coyotes?and migrants could say how or why they’d gotten there.This is the story of 7,000 bikes that made an incredible journey and one young man from Oaxaca who arrived at the border with nothing, built a small empire, and then vanished. Taylor follows the trail of the border bikes through some of society’s most powerful institutions, and, with the help of an unlikely source, he reconstructs the rise of one of Tijuana’s most innovative coyotes. Touching on immigration and globalization, as well as the history of the US/Mexico border, The Coyote’s Bicycle is at once an immersive investigation of an outrageous occurrence and a true-crime, rags-to-riches story.

Gael Force, Second Edition
Author: Merv Daub
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0773553045
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Football at Queen’s University has one of the richest and longest histories of any sport in Canada. The Golden Gaels have been a presence in Canadian football at both the amateur and professional levels since 1882. Gael Force traces this history, chronicling the team’s ups and downs and integrating them within the history of the university, the country, and the sport in general. Providing a wealth of interesting facts and engaging anecdotes as well as profiles and photographs of the coaches, captains, and players, Merv Daub takes the reader through more than a century of Queen’s football. Drawing from a wealth of sources, Daub recounts the team’s key milestones including their first Dominion championship in 1893 with “Curtis and his boys,” three consecutive Grey Cup wins in the 1920s, the 1934–35 victory of the “Fearless Fourteen,” the 1955 season when Gus Braccia, Ronnie Stewart, Gary Schreider, Lou Bruce, Al Kocman, “Jocko” Thompson, and the rest of that “band of merry men” brought Queen’s back into the limelight, the golden years of the 1960s, and the 1978 and 1992 Vanier Cup championship seasons. Adding twenty more years of football history since Gael Force was first published in 1996, this new edition includes the 2016 season played at the revitalized Richardson Stadium. It is both a tribute to a long-standing football legacy at Queen’s and an important historical and sociological study of college sport in Canada.
