  Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: The...

  Mozart once called music “my life”, and indeed few were as naturally gifted at it. Mozart’s memory and genius for music allowed him to compose lengthy works, even full-length operas, without transferring them to paper until he had fully visualized and retained them. He regarded copying as a tedious task, and this caused no small amount of consternation among performers, in particular the orchestra, some of whom received their parts minutes before curtain. This was said to be the case for the premiere of Don Giovanni, where Mozart was furiously scrawling and handing out parts to the overture with the audience in attendance. Surprisingly, these entire works, sometimes hundreds of pages, not penned until they were complete in his mind, usually arrived to the manuscript without a single blemish or change of heart. Mozart’s eccentricities are remembered centuries after his death, to the point that much of his life, illnesses and death have been mythologized, and today a lot of his legacy has been shaped by the manner in which his personality has been depicted in biographical works like Amadeus. 
  In addition to a large and consistently high-level body of work, Mozart represents for some the real beginning of the German lineage to the 20th century, although Ludwig Beethoven, greatly under Mozart’s influence, created much of that transition’s reality. Three of Mozart’s operas are continually in the top 10 works performed around the world, his piano concerti and symphonies are all in the standard repertoire (save for some of the earliest), and his choral works are treasures of the West. The bulk of his reputation was not garnered by breaking with tradition and destroying it but rather by fulfilling it with a greater beauty and naturalness than was possible for any other artist of the time.

  A lowly farm boy. A mysterious barn. Three enchanted horses. And a princess atop an impossibly steep glass hill... 
  From the pages of The Blue Fairy Book by Andrew Lang comes The Princess on the Glass Hill, a spellbinding tale of courage, humility, and destiny. Meet Cinderlad, the underestimated youngest son who dares to do what his brothers will not. On three magical St. John's nights, he conquers fearsome earthquakes and tames three magical steeds—each clad in shining copper, silver, and gold. 
  When the king declares that only the rider who can ascend the slippery Glass Hill and claim three golden apples may win the princess’s hand, noblemen and princes from across the world fail. But Cinderlad, cloaked in secret and clad in dazzling armor, rides toward a fate no one—not even his mocking brothers—could imagine. 
  Perfect for fans of timeless fairy tales, The Princess on the Glass Hill is a charming blend of folklore, fantasy, and heroic triumph, brought vividly to life by narrator Matt Goodluck.

  Would his father ever come home? 
  The true story of an entire childhood lived under the shadow of war. 
  Born in 1933, Nick Hutchins was just six years old when his father left for the Second World War. 
  By the time the war ended, he was twelve years old and almost a man. 
  At 90 years of age, Nick remembers his wartime childhood in vivid detail, like it was yesterday, and reflects on the impact of growing up without his father. 
  Lieutenant Colonel CDM Hutchins, known as Tim, served in the British Army with the 51st Highland Division in France. Left behind during the evacuation of Dunkirk, he was captured and became a prisoner-of-war in Germany. Now for the first time we can hear his voice through gripping, first-hand excerpts from his POW journal. 
  Bursting with action, adventure, fear and laughter, When I Was Twelve is a story of hanging onto hope in dark times. 
  ‘When I Was Twelve is a truly immersive listen, told through rich voices. The tales of such challenging times bring home how resilient the human spirit can be. Simply beautiful.’ - Simon Kennedy, comedian and author of 9/11 and the Art of Happiness 
  ‘A story of longing and hope in a time of war, rich with details to captivate a child.’ - Debra Tidball, award-winning children’s author of Anchored and The Scared Book. 
  ‘Adults and children alike will gain so much from this moving story of a little boy called on to become the ‘man of the house’ while his father fights on the frontlines. When I Was Twelve will help those of us who’ve never seen war to develop the quality the war generations had—resilience. - Sheridan Voysey, author of Resilient and The Making of Us.

  What's So Great About Silent E?...

  Young Sunnie Rae is contemplating what could be so important about using a silent letter E. Sure, E starts words of big things, like elephant, but when it ends words, most of the time it makes now sound at all, so who needs it? 
  This children's book shows how with the change of just one silent letter, words can drastically change to entirely different words. For example, instead of being cute, you'd be cut. Ouch. That would hurt. Or maybe your robe would rob or Superman would wear a cap instead of a cape. What would be so super about him then? Sunnie Rae realizes in the end how wrong she was to think it unimportant and finishes with "Thank Goodness for Silent E!" 
  Children and adults alike laugh as they read and see the changes that occur when using, or not using a silent ? All ages enjoy coming up with new words to make changes to. 
  This is a great addition to any elementary classroom or library. It is extremely helpful for teaching reading skills to student who are learning English as a first or second language.
