The Thing About Georgie


Book Description

Fans of Kate DiCamillo and R. J. Palacio will love The Thing About Georgie, a warm and humorous story starring an unforgettable young boy with dwarfism, from acclaimed author Lisa Graff. "An upbeat and sensitive look at what it's like to be different, this novel will spark discussion.” (Booklist) As far as Georgie is concerned, everyone has a "thing." The thing about poodles is that Georgie Bishop hates to walk them. The thing about Jeanie the Meanie is that she would rather write on her shoe than help Georgie with their Abraham Lincoln project. The thing about Andy's nonna is that she kisses Georgie's cheeks and doesn't speak one word of English. The thing about Georgie's mom is that she's having a baby—a baby who will probably be taller than Georgie very, very soon. The thing about Georgie . . . well, what is the thing about Georgie?

Georgie


Book Description

This book is about Georgie. Georgie is a beautiful black cat and behaves like a person. It is a true story that will excite children’s imagination and help them think critically. In this book you will find questions at the end of each chapter for children to answer. To my knowledge, it is the best way to make an earnest request for children’s explorative minds. I like dogs and cared for three when I was young. Although I owned three at different times, I called each Dick. I am writing about Georgie because he intrigues me with his humanistic behavior. I have been observing Georgie for two years. On March of 2012, I decided to write about Georgie. I want to share my observations with others, especially children. Wouldn’t it be exciting to know one day how Georgie thinks about us?




Georgie's Moon


Book Description

Georgie Collins knows exactly how to make it through life in a new town. Before her father left for Vietnam, he gave her standing orders never to let anyone mess with her, and she won't. As long as she doesn't allow the enemy to smell her fear, Georgie will survive seventh grade in Glendale, Indiana, just fine. But that doesn't mean she'll like it. How could she? Her school has forced her to participate in a "Good Deeds Program," so she's stuck visiting old people in a nursing home. What's more, her classes are filled with "peacenik" kids who think the war is wrong - including her only friend. At home, it seems that the kids her mom is babysitting are constantly whining at her. Worst of all, Georgie's father has been gone a long time - and even though he promised to send her his love every night on the moon, sometimes that's not enough. This story of a feisty girl's fierce devotion to her father is a powerful reflection on the ravages of war.

There's an advantage to flying under the radar. They get busy putting together the clues, and inch closer to finding out what really happened behind closed doors. Then, things start to spiral out of control… and Georgie, still new to all this, fears that this is a mystery she may not be able to solve.
