![]() While the events described in this cautionary tale are shocking, the language is not, making these all-too-real problems accessible to a wide readership. A kindly librarian, Anthony, becomes the hero, reuniting Tears with her grandparents and offering the possibility of a safe future to Maybe. Also made clear is the fact that these teens reject many offers of help, but find that the street looks better than the horrors from which they've fled. ![]() Gradually revealed are the physical and psychological scars that marked their paths to the police sweeps, illness, drugs, and destitution that litter their lives. ![]() But first, readers meet Maggot Rainbow beautiful, HIV-positive 2Moro her club-hopping, sexually amorphous friend Jewel the protagonist/narrator Maybe and Tears, the newest, and, at 12 years of age, youngest member of the group. These clinical dossiers recur, like a premonition, as one by one this ragtag "family" disintegrates. A surrogate family of homeless teens lives on the streets of New York City, and the bleakness of their lives is clear early on when Country Club dies of "liver failure due to acute alcohol poisoning." His brief life is summarized in a one-page dossierlike format that immediately precedes the narrative description of his death. ![]()

![]() ![]() Se sospecha, sin embargo, que existió una novela más corta, que sería una de sus futuras Novelas ejemplares. Esta edición se reimprimió en el mismo año y en el mismo taller, de forma que hay en realidad dos ediciones de 1605 ligeramente distintas. Salió a la venta en enero de 1605 con numerosas erratas, a causa de la celeridad que imponía el contrato de edición. La primera parte se imprimió en Madrid, en casa de Juan de la Cuesta, a fines de 1604. La novela consta de dos partes: la primera, El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha, fue publicada en 1605 la segunda, El ingenioso caballero don Quijote de la Mancha, en 1615. Don Quijote de la Mancha (ortografía y título original -1605-, El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha) es una de las obras cumbre de la literatura española y la literatura universal, el libro más traducido después de la Biblia, escrito por Miguel de Cervantes. ![]() Love from Mecca to Medina by S.K. Ali5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() This exploration of young love and its tribulations sits well against the backdrop of a religious journey, for both divine and romantic love hold the potential to transform lives. When they decide to take a pilgrimage together to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, long-simmering tensions become too obvious to ignore. It’s the story of a young couple – Adam and Zayneb – trying to make their long-distance marriage work while he works in Doha and she studies in Chicago. Love from Mecca to Medina, the sequel to Love from A to Z, is no fairy tale. ![]() There are no “happily ever afters,” except in fairy tales. It takes courage, patience, and hard work to sustain a romantic commitment – if you are brave enough to make one. ![]() Rock by Anyta Sunday5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() I feel uncomfortable doing it-even though, like any reader, I have books that do it for me, and books that don't. :)Īs an author, things get murky when it comes to rating other books.

The hunger games by suzanne collins5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() For a while all was calm, but then District 13 rose up and tried to rebel. ![]() In their place, the Capitol with 13 surrounding districts took power. The former countries of North America have been run down by disease, famine, and war, until they dissolved completely. I tried to do a little summary at the top, but I can’t adequately describe it in just a sentence or two. The writing is just pitch-perfect, dragging you right into a world you’d hate to live in, but can’t look away from. It was as good or better than everyone had said. And once I finally picked it up, I couldn’t put it down. Finally, I took it on vacation, promising that I’d at least start it on the plane. I saw a few extremely favorable reviews here and there, but still, it sat on my shelf as I read other things. And then I didn’t look at it again for months. ![]() The Hunger Games book came in on the second or third day that I was doing the Notable Books project and I was so excited to see my first advanced copy that I snatched it up and ran home with it (that’s a lie, I totally drove). ![]() 10 of 10: This is easily in the list of top five books I’ve read this year. ![]() Mark of the horse lord5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() These products were created by scanning an original printed edition.

The more the detectives question the people who knew the young victim-the boyfriend who got her back onto drugs, the alcoholic mother who gave her up to foster care, the social workers who tried to help her, the cab driver who saw her last-the more perplexing the case becomes. However, the street-wise Bailey is less pleased with her partner, middle-class DC Janet Scott, especially since Scott doesn’t hesitate to put Bailey in her place when they investigate the murder of Lisa Finn. Two female detectives form an uneasy partnership in the grim back streets of Manchester.ĭC Rachel Bailey is thrilled when golden girl DCI Gill Murray invites her to join an elite unit for major crimes. ![]() Tedd arnold books list5/23/2023 ![]() ![]() Ask your students why the little boy put tape around his body.Īppalled – surprised (not in a good way)/shocked ![]() The little boy didn’t know that children lose their teeth and grow new ones and that everyone’s hair falls out.
