All's Faire in Middle School is the second graphic novel by Victoria Jamieson, who received a Newbery Honor for Roller Girl. It's about a girl who's been homeschooled all her life but decides to go to public school for sixth grade. Themes include friendship, family, how to handle your emotions, fitting in, and how to make amends when you make mistakes.
The stories are from different backgrounds and experiences, create a safe space for special people which is full of love, compassion, and perseverance. Whether it is about a mother's dilemma in doing the right thing for her kid, or about a stranger's fondness for an autistic child, or the gender neutrality of motherhood -- the book presents itself as a culmination of some ardent voices having the same narrative, treated differently.
Poetry’s Playground is a groundbreaking study that makes bold connections between children’s and adult poetry. This book will be of interest to poets, scholars of poetry and children’s literature, as well as students and teachers of literary history, cultural anthropology, and contemporary poetry. It addresses poetry actually written and performed by children, exploring the connections between folk poetry produced both on playgrounds and in the classroom.
Charlotte's Web is about a girl named Fern, a pig named Wilbur and a spider called Charlotte. They live on a farm and Fern is horrified when she finds out that Wilbur as a piglet is to be slaughtered. She rescues Wilbur only then to have him sent away from her to her uncle's farm where he is friendless and snubbed by the other animals except Charlotte, a spider, and this is where Wilbur's adventures begin.
I would say that the genre of this book is Animals. My favourite character in the book is Charlotte because she is very kind and helpful to everyone, even a pig who is about to die. I loved the bit in the book when Charlotte's eggs hatch and they all leave apart from three of them who stay with the pig and will forever remain there because they don't want to leave.
A wonderful fantasy based on Indian mythology and Hindu culture, with a flavor of some of the Disney stories including animals who can talk, this is a fun adventure story about a 12-year-old girl who messed up by telling a lie to her school friends. To try to wiggle her way out of being caught in the lie, she lit a 'cursed' lamp at the museum where her archeologist mother worked and released a demon known as "the Sleeper" causing time to STOP!
The story is exciting and fast-paced with complete descriptions to immerse the reader in the story providing a feeling that you can see and hear the diverse and interesting characters. Intense yet funny with strong young female characters.
Ten-year-old Livy, who lives in Massachusetts, hasn’t visited her Gran Nicholas’s house in Australia for five years. When she returns for a visit, Livy is struck by the feeling that something very important is waiting for her. Sure enough, a peek inside her closet reveals “a small zombie wearing a chicken suit,” perched atop a dictionary. “You’re back. Took you long enough,” the creature says to the girl. Once upon a time, it seems, five-year-old Livy discovered this strange being, who goes by the comically understated name of Bob, and the two formed a secret bond. Picking up where they left off, Livy keeps Bob hidden while they hunt for clues about what he is, where he came from, and how to get him home.
