Book Description
I first saw this little dude on social media, more dead than alive, battle scarred, emaciated and looking hopeless. He was being fed by a kind English lady who was appealing for a home far away from the streets of an Athens suburb where he was in grave danger of being poisoned by locals who hated him because of his unusual appearance. There was just something about him! Call it love at first sight. Funds were already being raised for his preparation and travel to UK, so when his original home offer fell through, I immediately asked if he could come to me and my crazy little furry family.

4B Goes Wild
Author: Jamie Gilson
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0062126679
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
Mr. Star broke the news gently. "Well, 4B," he said, "it appears we're going to do it." It was the talk of last year's fourth, especially the part about the catfish between the principal's sheets. It is the good-behavior reward for this year's fourth grade. It is Outdoor Education: three days at Camp Trotter in Wisconsin. From where Hobie Hanson sits -- at Central School in Stockton, Illinois -- it is bad news. Three days also means two nights, two nights far from home. The thought brings wooly-worms to his stomach and floods his head with what-ifs. As things turn out, however, Outdoor Education lives up to its name, and in ways that neither Hobie nor his friends expect. The class, and sub, that kept readers breathless in Thirteen Ways to Sink a Sub are back for another rousing adventure, filled with the sights, sounds, tastes, and, yes, smells familiar to veteran campers everywhere.

100 Days and 99 Nights
Author: Alan Madison
Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
ISBN: 0316033553
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 97
Book Description
Dad says because of the army he stood shoulder to shoulder with polar bears and watched the sun rise over the frozen fields of Alaska, which sounds really exciting. And because of the Army he slept in sludge, shoulder to shoulder with snakes and watched the sun set over the swamps of Alabama -- which does not. In a timely, but not politically charged way, author Alan Madison looks at the way a family copes with having a parent away on a 100 day, 99 night military tour of duty through the eyes of the very loveable Esmerelda (Esme) Swishback McCarthur. Esme wants to be good while her dad is away. In fact, she feels like it's her duty to be good. But being good can be hard, especially if you have a little brother like Ike. By following Esme's story, as she awaits her father's return, readers will see how heroism can translate to every member of a family. Aside from the military families that this book serves, readers who wonder what it would be like if their mother, father, brother, or sister was sent away will relate to Esme's quiet strength and candor and will understand her worry about what could happen. This story has the potential to speak to readers on a personal level and to turn a concept that seems so hard to grasp--war--into one that feels much more personal.
