Book Description
After having a bad start to the morning, Otto struggles to have positive interactions with his friends at school. During the day, he learns that he's having these difficulties because he is doing things backwards compared to what a true friend would do. He's being a "Dneirf." With the help of a school counselor and some friends, Otto turns his day, and himself, in the right direction, becoming a true forward friend once again. This story is a fantastic resource to teach children that social conflict is normal and can and will occur within friendships due to backwards behavior, not necessarily bullying. Sometimes friends just need a little help to turn those backwards behaviors forward again. Be A Friend, Not a Dneirf!

Book Description
Over at the weapons-check, Blade noticed a small disturbance between the reserve combat vet and the attendant. Knowing how these things tended to turn out, he brought the incident to the attention of the rest of the party at his table. “I’ll give you one more chance to bring MY box!” demanded the reserve combat vet, clearly reaching the end of his rope. “And what are you going to do about it...JACK?” mocked the attendant with a sneer. This exchange caught the attention of everyone in the room and prompted Jack’s companions to collect their gear and head for the exit. “We might want to be prepared to move, folks...” observed Jeremiah, picking up his heavily blood-spattered Duster and slipping it on over his well-toned, 5’8” body. Following Jeremiah’s lead, the rest of the Wolf Pack and company rapidly packed up their gear, whilst grabbing a final mouthful of their drinks. Seated at a table around the corner from the weapons-check, Terrence asked, “Valentine...you know these guys...should we be worried?” “We should certainly be ready, just in case,” Valentine replied. Without thinking, the young, stocky Lestor stood up and moved closer to the weapons-check to get a better look.

Journal of Nicholas Cresswell
Author: Nicholas Cresswell
Publisher: Applewood Books
ISBN: 1429005874
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
Nicholas Cresswell was twenty-four years old when he left his birthplace of Edale, England to sail for Virginia, believing that ""a person with a small fortune may live much better and make greater improvements in America than he can possibly do in England."" From the time he left, sailing from Liverpool in 1774, until the time he returned, he kept a diary detailing his experiences in pre-Revolutionary America. As a loyal subject to King George, Cresswell found himself often unhappy in America, detailing the turmoil and abuses often suffered by Loyalists in the colonies. Confining his travel mainly to the mid-Atlantic region, Cresswell not only had occasion to attend a slave gathering and observe what went on there, but also traded amongst many of the native tribes, including the Lenape, Tuscarora, Ottawa and Shawnee. Despite his ambivalence about returning to England, (toward the end of the book he moans, ""I wish to be at home and yet dread the thought of returning to my native Country a Beggar "" (P. 251)), life in the colonies becomes too much for this loyal subject and Cresswell's journal ends in 1777 with his return to England.
