Clement Moore

Beschreibung

"Twas the Night Before Christmas: A Visit From Saint Nicholas" is a seminal piece of American literature that celebrates the enchantment of Christmas Eve through its whimsical narrative and lyrical style. Written in the form of a poem, Moore's work employs playful rhythms and vivid imagery to transport readers into a magical world where Santa Claus brings joy and wonder to children. Initially published in 1823, this iconic piece not only solidified modern Christmas traditions but also reflected the burgeoning American cultural identity in the 19th century, intertwining folklore with contemporary societal values of family and generosity. Clement Moore, an accomplished scholar and professor at the General Theological Seminary in New York City, penned this beloved poem for his children, embodying his deep affection for family and the Christmas spirit. His background in classical literature and theology informs his ability to weave moral undertones into seemingly simple verses, illustrating a profound understanding of childhood innocence and joy. The poem's enduring appeal can be attributed to Moore's unique blend of humor, warmth, and the transcendence of holiday magic. Highly recommended for readers of all ages, Moore's illustrated edition of "Twas the Night Before Christmas" invites you to cherish the warmth of the season while fostering a sense of nostalgia. Its captivating narrative and delightful illustrations breathe life into a classic tale, making it a perfect addition to holiday traditions and a touching gift for families, ensuring that the spirit of Christmas continues to light up generations.

Slugfest

Gordon Korman

From Gordon Korman, the New York Times bestselling author of Restart, comes a hilarious new story about a group of underdogs who come together when they are forced to attend summer school—for failing PE. 
Yash is the best athlete at Robinette Middle School—so good, in fact, that he’s already playing on the high school’s JV sports teams. Imagine his shock when he learns that his JV practices have kept him from earning a state-mandated credit for eighth-grade PE. To graduate, he has to take Physical Education Equivalency—PEE, also known as “Slugfest”—in summer school. 
Yash gets to know his fellow “slugs”: Kaden, an academic superstar who’s physically hopeless; twins Sarah and Stewart, who are too busy trying to kill each other to do any real PE; Jesse, a notorious prankster; Arabella, who protests everything; and Cleo, a natural athlete who has sworn off sports. 
But when one of them tries to blow the lid off a scandal that could make all their time in summer school a waste, Yash is forced to take drastic action. 
Teaming up with the most hapless crew in school can really surprise a person. And their teacher might be hiding the biggest surprise yet. . . .
