Book Description

"You don't wanna fit in. You wanna stand out. Way out. So far out they'd think you were from outer space." Bright eyed and eccentric 14-year-old Daisy Moon is President and Founder of the Bateman's Bay Little Monsters Fan Club. She holds her club meetings inside the dusty beachside bus stop on her front lawn. She's the club's only member. Her 18-year-old brother Noah couldn't be more different. An elite athlete on the cusp of cracking national competitions, his world falls apart when he's caught cheating on a time trial. The both dream big, but are stuck in a world too small. Set in a coastal town, this play draws on Australian iconography of the faded beachside surf club, but turns it on its head by drenching it with pop-culture and contemporary teen attitude.

Book Description

In this compelling, action-packed book, Watt Key gives us the thrilling coming-of-age story of the unique and extremely appealing Alabama Moon, the basis for the film of the same name starring Jimmy Bennett and John Goodman. For as long as ten-year-old Moon can remember, he has lived out in the forest in a shelter with his father. They keep to themselves, their only contact with other human beings an occasional trip to the nearest general store. When Moon's father dies, Moon follows his father's last instructions: to travel to Alaska to find others like themselves. But Moon is soon caught and entangled in a world he doesn't know or understand; he's become property of the government he has been avoiding all his life. As the spirited and resourceful Moon encounters constables, jails, institutions, lawyers, true friends, and true enemies, he adapts his wilderness survival skills and learns to survive in the outside world, and even, perhaps, make his home there. This title has Common Core connections. Alabama Moon is a 2007 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

All twenty-year-old Daisy Haites has ever wanted is a normal life, but as the heiress to London’s most notorious criminal empire, it’s just not in the cards for her. Raised by her older brother, Julian, after their parents were murdered, Daisy has never been able to escape the watchful gaze of her gang-lord brother. But Julian’s line of work means that Daisy’s life is . . . complicated. And things don’t become any easier when she falls hard for the beautiful and emotionally unavailable Christian Hemmes, who happens to be one of the few men in London who doesn’t answer to Julian. Christian’s life is no walk in the park either, since he’s in love with his best friend’s girlfriend, Magnolia Parks. He’s happy enough to use Daisy to throw off the scent of his true affections—until she starts to infiltrate those, too. As their romance blossoms into something neither was anticipating, Daisy and Christian must come to terms with the fact that in this life everything comes at a price. Relationships intersect and tangle, and Daisy, Christian, and Julian will learn that sometimes life’s most worthwhile pursuits can only be paid in blood.

Book Description

Henry James’s Daisy Miller was an immediate sensation when it was first published in 1878 and has remained popular ever since. In this novella, the charming but inscrutable young American of the title shocks European society with her casual indifference to its social mores. The novella was popular in part because of the debates it sparked about foreign travel, the behaviour of women, and cultural clashes between people of different nationalities and social classes. This Broadview edition presents an early version of James’s best-known novella within the cultural contexts of its day. In addition to primary materials about nineteenth-century womanhood, foreign travel, medicine, philosophy, theatre, and art—some of the topics that interested James as he was writing the story—this volume includes James’s ruminations on fiction, theatre, and writing, and presents excerpts of Daisy Miller as he rewrote it for the theatre and for a much later and heavily revised edition.

Book Description

Tell It To Women gives traditional rural women a voice: the women from Idu break from their assumed position of silence and powerlessness to confront the urban women who believe their western education gives them the authority to speak for all women. Using the magic of movement, dance, and drama, and the devices of humor and metaphor, Osonye Tess Onwueme has created a post-feminist epic drama that transcends current feminist theories. An ideologically and politically powerful work, Tell It to Women offers a critical discourse on the western feminist movement from an African traditional perspective, focusing attention on the often silenced issues of intra-gender politics and class inequities.

*Solo Medalist Winner of the New Apple Book Awards for Excellence in Publishing* One ordinary teenager. One extraordinary mission. And a destiny she never expected. With final exams behind her, fifteen-year-old Vanessa Cross is looking forward to a long, lazy summer on the beach, shopping, and going to the spa with her friends—anywhere but at home with her hypocritical stepmother and preoccupied father. Her entire life is flipped upside-down when her father disappears, and rumors he’s a traitor begin to fly. Selected to join an expedition to an alternate reality called the Living World to retrieve a priceless relic, Van plans a secret mission of her own. Find her father and prove his innocence. Recovering this relic, the Coin of Creation, will prevent an invasion by the warlike Balish, test the limits of Van's strength, will, and cleverness, and push her to accept that she is no ordinary teenager. But learning of her warrior destiny, handed down through generations of her family, is the biggest shock of all. Failure to rise to the challenge could cost not only her life, but that of her people, her friends, and what’s left of her family. This book is a USA Today Bestseller (2017), won the New Apple Award for Excellence in Publishing (2017), and ranked #1 in Epic Fantasy on Amz 2022.
