Synopsis

The classic tale of a Japanese boy orphaned by a tsunami from the author of The Good Earth, the first American woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. On a mountainside in Japan, two boys enjoy a humble life governed by age-old customs. Jiya belongs to a family of fishermen; his best friend, Kino, farms rice. But when a neighboring volcano erupts and a tidal wave swallows their village—including Jiya’s family—life as they know it is changed forever. The orphaned Jiya must learn to come to terms with his grief. Now facing a profoundly different life than the one he’d always taken for granted, he must decide on a new way forward. Written with graceful simplicity, The Big Wave won the Children’s Book Award of the Child Study Association of America when it was first released. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Pearl S. Buck including rare images from the author’s estate.

    Cory Trivano never thought he would visit a magical land called Lythéa. He never expected to befriend a flying horse or see a three-headed dragon. But life with Mrs. Glimmer is always full of surprises. 
    Cory has the kind of home life that he doesn’t really talk about. His favorite pastime is playing imaginary games with his little sister. However, once a peculiar old lady moves into the apartment next door, Cory’s sister forfeits their games in favor of time at the neighbor’s. Cory doesn’t trust Mrs. Glimmer at first, with her strange habit of offering food but avoiding their questions. What is she hiding? Even so, he finds himself drawn to Mrs. Glimmer. Her kindness is a ray of light. 
    When life suddenly changes, Cory and his sister find themselves in the care of Mrs. Glimmer.

    My name is Kavya. That I can live with. My brother's name is Dhrittiman. That I'm still trying to come to terms with. And I get the feeling he has a tough time coping with it too. But we'll survive his name. We'll survive the mortification of giving out an address that goes: 708, Kansas, Grand Canyon, Bangalore, India. I'll survive the company of friends who think I'm a vampire at best and an axe murderer at worst. I'll survive Kiran. I'll survive swimming sinking drowning in his blue eyes. And Dirtyman will keep himself sane watching Resident Evil. But what about the rest? What about a mother who's out to cut us off from society in general? And a father who'd much rather cut himself off from us? What about the board exams that loom large while I paint kolam patterns on random walls? Basically can I please scratch my life out and start over?
