Beschreibung

Thanksgiving began as a day of giving thanks and sacrifice for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year. Although Thanksgiving has historical roots in religious and cultural traditions, it has long been celebrated as a secular holiday as well. Being the holiday that marks the opening of the Holiday Season, Thanksgiving is an important part of the identity and culture of North America.
Have fun with seven short stories selected by the critic August Nemo that bring all the atmosphere of union and gratitude of this date:

- An Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving by Louisa May Alcott
- Thankful by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman
- Turkeys Turning The Tables by William Dean Howells
- How We Kept Thanksgiving at Oldtown by Harriet Beecher Stowe
- Two Thanksgiving Day Gentlemen by O. Henry
- Three Thanksgiving Kisses by Edward Payson Roe
- The First Thanksgiving by Albert F. Blaisdell & Francis K. BallFor more books with interesting themes, be sure to check the other books in this collection!

    Winner of the California Young Reader Medal in the high school category and an ALA Best Book of the Year. Following the death of his parents in a car accident, fifteen-year-old Matt McKendrick runs away from his hometown with his small, deaf sister, Katie, to prevent her from being placed in an institution. Reaching Los Angeles exhausted and hungry, they take refuge in an abandoned theater. When Matt returns to the theater after an unsuccessful day hunting for work, he finds Katie gone and the police waiting to accuse him of murder. Alone in a city of strangers, Matt sets out on a desperate quest—fighting suspicion, hatred, and his own unbearable remorse and self-doubt—to prove to himself and to the Homicide detective who despises him that he is who he says he is.  The Truth Trap is the first book in the series.
