Tell me how you really feel book6/12/2023 She never did really get over that first crush, even if Rachel can barely stand to be in the same room as her. Rachel was furious that Sana tried to prank her by asking her on a date.īut when it comes time for Rachel to cast her senior project, she realizes that there’s no more perfect lead than Sana-the girl she's sneered at in the halls for the past three years. Rachel is a film buff and aspiring director, and she’s seen Carrie enough times to learn you can never trust cheerleaders (and beautiful people). The first time Sana Khan asked out a girl–Rachel Recht-it went so badly that she never did it again.

Julie Anne Long | Exclusive Excerpt: YOU WERE MADE TO BE MINE Trained as a journalist, Jim was Qantas's Director of Public Affairs for many years. Jim Eames is the author of The Country Undertaker, the very funny memoir of his father's life as a bush undertaker. From bush to the city, from the bizarre to the eccentric, Jim Eames lifts the lid on the Aussie way of death in this yarn-filled, informative and sometimes poignant look at life' s last great event. He takes us from the mortuary to the graveside, and explains everything in between, including the art of embalming, the mysteries of coffin design, the mechanics of being buried at sea and the luxuries of the hearse. So what really does happen when our time has come? Jim Eames goes behind the closed doors of Australia's funeral industry. Yet one way or the other, all of us will eventually meet the man in the black mourning suit or the lady in white - although we'll do just about anything to avoid it. It is also one we'd prefer to pretend did not exist. It is a calling that demands our respect and confidence. There is no profession more indispensable to the community than the funeral director. Sendak himself enthusiastically endorsed this impressive new interpretation of his art. Astonishing state-of-the-art technology faithfully captures the color and detail of the original illustrations. Let the wild rumpus continue as this classic comes to life like never before with new reproductions of Maurice Sendak's artwork. But then from far away across the world, Max smells good things to eat. From there, Max sets sail to an island inhabited by the Wild Things, who name him king and share a wild rumpus with him. When Max dresses in his wolf suit and causes havoc in the house, his mother sends him to bed. This iconic story has inspired a movie, an opera, and the imagination of generations. Maurice Sendak's Caldecott Medal-winning picture book has become one of the most highly acclaimed and best-loved children's books of all time. The Storyteller's Secret by Sejal Badani6/11/2023 Feeling adrift and with very little tying her down, she decides to follow a lead to learn more about her family’s past, which she knows almost nothing about. She’s going through an extraordinarily painful time in her life, experiencing a third miscarriage, and shortly after, the breakdown of her marriage. I’m always intrigued by a good historical fiction, especially one that takes me to places and times in which I’m not familiar, and this one did exactly that. This book quickly pulled me in, and I couldn’t put it down. Through her courageous grandmother’s arrestingly romantic and heart-wrenching story, Jaya discovers the legacy bequeathed to her and a strength that, until now, she never knew was possible. But it is Ravi-her grandmother’s former servant and trusted confidant-who reveals the resilience, struggles, secret love, and tragic fall of Jaya’s pioneering grandmother during the British occupation. Intoxicated by the sights, smells, and sounds she experiences, Jaya becomes an eager student of the culture. Desperate to assuage her deep anguish, she decides to go to India to uncover answers to her family’s past. Nothing prepares Jaya, a New York journalist, for the heartbreak of her third miscarriage and the slow unraveling of her marriage in its wake. A family secret reveals a tragic, beautiful love.

The inconvenient indian6/11/2023 King explores the construction of race and how negative stereotypes that depicted Indians as uncivilized, godless savages influenced the U.S. King uses this story as a launch point to explore other popular but likely fictitious myths about early Indian-White relations, such as Pocahontas saving John Smith and George Custer going down in history as a hero.Ĭhapter 2 focuses on the origins of White-Indian relations in North America. He portrays history not as an objective set of facts but as a culmination of the “stories we tell about the past.” He asks the reader to “forget Columbus” and begins his account elsewhere, with the description of a plaque in a small town in Idaho that purports to commemorate an Indian massacre of White pioneers that never actually took place. King laments the difficulty of beginning a history of Indian-White relations in North America without talking about Christopher Columbus. He also says that throughout the book he will be using “Indians” for Native Americans and “Whites” for white settlers.Ĭhapter 1 explores the concept of constructing a history and the impossibility of presenting a completely neutral account of the past. In the Prologue to The Inconvenient Indian, Thomas King explains his use of fiction and nonfiction to tell the history of relations between Native Americans and white settlers in North America.
