Synopsis

On a cold December morning in 1917, the quiet streets of Halifax bustled with life — kids walking to school, shopkeepers opening their doors, workers heading to the busy harbor. No one knew the sky was about to explode. In seconds, the city was torn apart by the largest man-made blast the world had ever seen.This gripping true story takes readers into the heart of the disaster through the eyes of the people who lived it. From the foggy harbor where two ships collided to the shattered neighborhoods buried in snow and dust, it shows how ordinary people became heroes in the blink of an eye. Children carried water and messages through rubble. Neighbors pulled each other from collapsed houses. Nurses, firefighters, and strangers from faraway Boston rushed to help.With vivid detail and powerful storytelling, this book brings to life the courage, kindness, and teamwork that helped a broken city rise again. Readers will discover what it means to stand together when everything seems lost, and why Halifax still remembers — and still gives thanks — more than a hundred years later.This unforgettable story of tragedy and hope shows how even the darkest day can reveal the very best in people.

    This story of two girls trying to banish a witch is “full of wonderful fun, excitement, and humor” (Library Journal).   Old Witch likes nothing better than to fly around on her broomstick, crying “Heh-heh!” and casting abracadabras. But now she has been sent away . . . by two young girls.   Amy and Clarissa have decided that Old Witch is just too mean and wicked. So, drawing a rickety old house upon a barren glass hill, they exile Old Witch there with a warning: She better be good, or else no Halloween! But to give Old Witch some company, they draw her a Little Witch Girl and a Weeny Witch Baby . . .   Old Witch tries to be good, but anyone would get up to no good in a place as lonely as the glass hill. And Amy and Clarissa are about to find that out, when Old Witch magics them into her world of make-believe-made-real, in “a very special book that is certain to give boundless pleasure—at any time of the year” (The Horn Book).   “A classic for Halloween.” —Library Journal
