Simon's quest to save Jilla leads him and his friends out of the comfort of Dreamville into the forbidden outsider's world of Newville, where Miss DreamNot makes another appearance to ensure Simon never saves Dreamville again.

Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
By Primary Three, students have reached the stage where they should be able to write a composition with a well-defined plot and well-developed characters. However, how well a student writes a composition is dependent primarily on his or her exposure to the English Language. This book has been written in a way to be equally beneficial and relevant to students in Primary Three and Primary Four. Often, many students find Paper 1 of their English Language examination the most difficult to score. Paper 1 tests students on their ability to write a full-length composition and takes about 30% of the entire PSLE English examination. Given the high weightage of marks allocated to composition writing, it is unfortunate that many students do not get sufficient opportunities to write compositions in school and have them graded by their teachers. Practice makes perfect. To cultivate good writing skills, it is essential for students to get regular practice in writing their own compositions. One story a week is a reasonable pace for most students. This book has been specially designed to be a valuable educational aid for students across all ability levels. Whether your child is facing difficulty in writing compositions or is already a prolific young writer seeking to up his or her writing skills a notch, this book will provide the stimulus for your child to take his or her writing skills to new heights. The model compositions in this book may seem a tad too challenging for many Primary Three and Primary Four students. However, they have been deliberately written to serve as a reference for students to inspire them to new heights of creative writing. For each composition exercise, ample guidance is provided to help students to pen down terrific compositions they never thought they were capable of. By faithfully going through every composition exercise, your child will be exposed to a wide array of possible writing topics. Above all, he or she will be embarking on a journey towards becoming a more confident and creative writer.

One Day Closer
Author: Lorinda Stewart
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501143158
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
An instant national bestseller and "a beautiful story of what love can do to conquer the impossible" (Jann Arden). On the day my daughter was kidnapped by outlaws in Somalia, my life split into two parts: Before and After. This is the story of both parts, and of how I fought to bring my daughter home. On August 23, 2008, Amanda Lindhout, Lorinda Stewart’s daughter, is kidnapped outside of Mogadishu in Somalia. The kidnappers’ demand is simple: pay $2.5 million or Amanda will be killed. For the next 460 days, Lorinda does everything in her power—and beyond—to get her daughter back alive. This brave, small-town mother with no experience in hostage negotiations is called upon by the RCMP to be the lead communicator with Adam, the Somali who identifies himself as the English-speaking negotiator for Amanda's kidnappers. In a secret “war room” in Sylvan Lake, Alberta, Lorinda joins forces with federal officers and begins to answer calls from Adam, establishing a fragile rapport of trust with the man who holds her daughter’s fate in his hands. She learns how to demand POLs—proofs of life—from Amanda’s hostage takers and even how to react to “bad calls”—when she is forced to listen to her daughter’s desperate cries for help, fearing she is being abused and tortured. What’s supposed to be a short negotiation stretches on, and weeks become months. Lorinda finds herself increasingly on her own as negotiations break down. But she never gives up hope, even as the conversations become more traumatic. Faced with the terrible possibility of her daughter’s death, she decides to take control, bringing in private hostage negotiators and fundraising ransom money from donors. But will it be enough? This is the true story of one woman’s heroic perseverance in the face of despair, and of the hope and healing to be found beyond trauma. It is also, in the end, a tribute to the extraordinary power of a mother’s love.
