Beschreibung

His Unburned Heart tells the story of Mary Shelley’s quest to retrieve her husband’s heart from his publisher. History tells us that Percy Shelley was cremated, though his heart failed to burn, but the rest of the details are lost to time. Sandner has channeled Mary Shelley herself to share the story with us. That story is paired here with a second, related, piece. The Journal of Sorrow is named after Mary Shelley’s personal journal, and imagines Percy Shelley’s demise.
 
“Sandner presents a tender examination on the nature of grief as a literary icon speculates on her lover's demise and the strange effort to recover the last physical remnant of her dead poet. Compelling and very moving prose.” --Tim McGregor, author of Wasps in the Ice Cream and Eynhallow
Verfügbar seit: 09.05.2024.

    After writing his first book, Oliver is kind of a celebrity around school. But when he gets caught in a cafeteria catastrophe involving some seriously explosive cherry cobbler, he quickly goes from being the “funny science kid” to one of the “Epic Barf kids.” Oliver needs to restore his reputation—and winning the Science Fair seems like the perfect way for everyone to forget about the whole barf thing.  
     
    There’s just one obstacle: Ana Lía Quintero, who wins every year. 
     
    Luckily, Oliver has the help of his geoscientist aunt (even though she’s a little, um, quirky). To have any chance of defeating his archnemesis, he’ll have to learn all about volcano burps and bacteria farts, how Earth’s layers are basically like a boba tea drink, and how school cliques and the solar system have a lot in common. 
     
    With laugh-out-loud humor, Oliver’s Great Big Universe: Volcanoes Are Hot! follows an eleven-year-old who’s taking on the whole universe—if he can survive middle school first.
