Beschreibung

We ought to be there in about twenty minutes,” observed Arnold Deering, glancing at his watch.
One of his companions in the day-coach tossed the magazine he had been idly glancing through, to the top of the pile of suitcases beside him, yawned widely, and nodded without enthusiasm.
“If nothing happens,” he agreed.
“What’s going to happen, you chump?”
“Nothing, I suppose. Only, something might. There might be an earthquake, or the train might jump the track, or——”
“Or you might talk sense, Frank! As for jumping the track, this old train couldn’t jump a crack in the floor! I guess you’re wishing something would happen so you wouldn’t have to go back.”

    Do you feel like no matter what you do, it’s always wrong? Like you’ll never be successful? Do you watch your friends or classmates on social media and think, How did they do it? Do you read articles about depression, anxiety, or being bullied and think, Yeah, that fits me, but why? Do you wonder if you can stop it? 
    Today’s world revolves around the internet, social media, and cell phones. What you see on the internet is personalized from information collected about you. Just about everything encountered affects who we are. You decide if something has a big impact, little impact, or no impact, and how. 
    Are you looking for a way to break from FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and chasing that social media status? Do you want to get out of the rut and stop being told by the internet and social media who you are? 
    Inner Peace will help you face fears, learn who you are, and remember what you wanted to be versus where you are now. The important thing to remember is that you’re going to be the one looking at you, the one deciding in the end, and the one pursuing the goal. This is all for you.

    Newbery Honor Book * Sibert Medal Winner 
    Carefully researched and expertly told, this Newbery Honor and Sibert Medal-winning book is a moving account of the life of a talented and determined artist who left her mark on musical and social history. Through her story, Newbery Medal-winning author Russell Freedman illuminates the social and political climate of the day and an important chapter in American history. Notes, bibliography, discography, index. 
    ""A voice like yours,"" celebrated conductor Arturo Toscanini told contralto Marian Anderson, ""is heard once in a hundred years."" 
    This insightful account of the great African American vocalist considers her life and musical career in the context of the history of civil rights in this country. Drawing on Anderson's own writings and other contemporary accounts, Russell Freedman shows readers a singer pursuing her art despite the social constraints that limited the careers of black performers in the 1920s and 1930s. 
    Though not a crusader or a spokesperson by nature, Marian Anderson came to stand for all black artists—and for all Americans of color—when, with the help of such prominent figures as Eleanor Roosevelt, she gave her landmark 1939 performance on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, which signaled the end of segregation in the arts.

    Although he is credited with changing history through his invention of printing, Johann Gutenberg remains mysterious. In Fine Print, author Joann Johansen Burch pieces together Gutenberg's amazing story. When Johann was a child in the early 1400s, books were rare and sometimes very expensive. Each book had to be copied by hand, letter by letter. Gutenberg loved to read, and he often grew impatient waiting for the time-consuming bookmaking process to be completed. Young Gutenberg dreamed of finding a better way to make books. From his childhood in strife-torn Mainz through the many years of setbacks and bankruptcies, Gutenberg persevered in his belief that books could be made quickly and inexpensively. This is the story of the man who invented movable type and the printing press and gave the world the gift of books.

    In this spinoff to the New York Times–bestselling Goosebumps series, a tween goes to an amusement park and brings home an enchanted mannequin. 
     
    Ray Gordon loves to scare his younger brother, Brandon. It’s not hard considering Brandon is terrified of everything—loud noises, roller coasters, and especially the wooden dummy, Slappy, that Ray got from the HorrorLand theme park gift shop. Then Ray’s parents warn him that he will not be able to throw his big New Year’s Eve if he doesn’t stop teasing Brandon. But strange, mean-spirited things keep happening to his little brother, and Slappy always seems to be around for it. Could that spell Ray read out loud actually have brought the dummy to life?
