  Global Warning

  A group of 12-year-old friends concerned about climate change proposes a new way to save the earth: amending the U.S. Constitution. Their project propels these activists on an amazing journey across America—and all the way to Norway—with plenty of outside-the-box hijinks and civil disobedience, as they work to save the planet and their futures on it.  
  For sixth grader Sam Warren and his friends Catalina, Alistair, Jaesang, and Zoe, the effects of climate change are too pressing to ignore. Adults don’t seem to be up to the challenge of taking action to make real change, but kids know it’s their futures on the line. If their parents, teachers, and government officials won’t step up well, then, they will!  
  And these young people will stop at nothing to save the planet and their futures on it. With a little help from a retired kids' rights lawyer and a grandma who knows how to march, they are ready to think big: Constitutional amendment big. But can a bunch of 12-year-olds really draft an amendment that protects the planet, get it to pass in Congress, and change enough hearts and minds across the country to get it ratified before the clock runs out?  
  Steven B. Frank crafts another funny and fast-paced story of heightened-reality wish-fulfillment, loaded with the witty patter of smart kids, in this book that reads like Aaron Sorkin for middle grade and plumbs the complexities of the Constitution and the critical turning point of global climate change.  
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  In difficult circumstances, we often ask ourselves, why did this happened to me? why didn’t it happen like that? At that time, we did not even think that perhaps something good could hidden in that. When the time become favorable, all such thoughts suddenly disappear. We are so busy in our lives that we never thank GOD at that time. In life, favorable and unfavorable time will come and go like that. We have to face all these life situations with patience and by maintaining courage. Life will continue to be like this, it never stops. 
  ‘One life many shades’ is a story about a family that gets displaced due to cyclone that hit Odisha in 1999. They faced many challenging situations in their life while maintaining self-belief and courage. The author describes many shades of life in the form of a story. He says that life is a combination of ups and downs and nothing is stable in life. If time always remains the same then we do not understand the importance of the good and the bad deeds. Therefore, both good and bad times come and go in each one of our life. Further, he adds that difficult times do not come to weaken us but makes all of us stronger. We should face challenges by being positive with the hope that good things will happen with us. I hope that this book will help you in being optimistic about life along with a good story.

  Discover the intriguing story of Ethelred the Unready in this unabridged junior-level audio CD of Connie Clark's Who in the World was The Unready King?, read by Jim Weiss.  Ethelred's mother stood behind him. The archbishop smeared holy oil on Ethelred's shoulders and hands. He gave Ethelred a heavy sword and placed a gold crown on his head. The crown was too big—it fell over his eyes, and Ethelred almost dropped the sword on the archbishop's foot. How did Ethelred become king when he was only ten years old? Territory W This unabridged reading by Jim Weiss of the book is 38 minutes on one audio CD, giving second-grade readers insight into the life of this explorer. About the series: The classical curriculum introduces even the youngest student to the pleasures of true learning. Elementary students learn history not through predigested textbooks with multiple-choice answers, but through reading the stories of history. Unfortunately, biographies of great men and women of the past are almost all written for older students, limiting the ability of young students to explore history through reading. Libraries are crammed with biographies written for high school students and adults—while beginning readers are provided with a shelf full of junior-level books about football players, NASCAR drivers, and movie stars. Now, Peace Hill Press puts real history back into the grasp of the youngest historians with the Who in the World Biography Series. The entries in the series provide young readers and their parents and teachers with biographies of great men and women of the Middle Ages. Designed to be used as part of The Story of the World curriculum, these biographies give beginning historians in grades 2–4 a chance to explore beyond the textbook. The accompanying book is also available separately.
