Alicia and Annie

Robin Heald

Sinopse

For her sixth birthday, animal-loving Alicia is given her first pet, a guinea pig she names Annie. But while Alicia is making a vegetable-fruit cake for Annie's birthday, Annie disappears. Where is she? Alicia can hear her younger brother and sister – the dynamic duo, Jackson and Jillian – arguing in the bathroom. AND, she hears squeaking. Will Alicia be able to avert a near-disaster and make sure Annie stays safe? "Alicia and Annie" is written for read-aloud and for early readers. A healthy recipe, and interactive questions to promote memory recall and emotional intelligence are included. ABOUT THE THREE BOOK SERIES: I was in my classroom when a student asked, “I wonder what my sister is doing right now?” The student’s question made me think about a child’s emerging concept of time: that of being aware of life happening elsewhere, outside of the child’s own experience. Each book in the Sapphire Family Series is told from a different point of view: that of the twins, in "Jackson and Jillian," their older sister, Alicia in "Alicia and Annie," and big brother, Mason in "Mason and Invincible Igor." All three books take place during the same period of time, early evening. Although the books can stand alone, read together they offer a three-dimensional exploration of sibling interactions and family dynamics. Reading a story from different points of view is a first step in thinking beyond oneself. My intention is that the Sapphire Family Series will offer children compelling characters with whom they can identify and grow, and present positive, realistic family dynamics that will delight them.

Escape From Alcatraz

Andy Marino

May 1962 
 
 
 
In the middle of San Francisco Bay looms Alcatraz, home to America's most infamous prisoners. Also home to Chip Carter and his dad, who works at the high security prison. Their neighbors are former mobsters, gangsters, and murderers, but Chip finds it to be a pretty boring place to live. After all, the inmates can't hurt him—they're locked up in an impenetrable fortress, surrounded by unforgiving waters. 
 
 
 
Or are they? 
 
 
 
Inmate AZ1441, aka the Watcher, has a plan to break out of Alcatraz. It's a genius plan he's concocted along with three other inmates. Foolproof. Or so he thought until one of the guard's kids stumbles into the middle of it. 
 
 
 
Chip is stunned. No one can break out of the Rock. Not unless they have an inside guy. Which it seems like they do . . . Chip's dad. They know Chip's onto them, so if he wants to survive, he's going to have to make sure these men stay locked up. But first he has to figure out who is planning the prison break and just how deep into this deadly scheme his dad is. Because given what these men have done to end up in Alcatraz, there's no telling what they'll do to get out.

Blue

Joyce Moyer Hostetter

When thirteen-year-old Ann Fay Honeycutt’s father goes off to fight Hitler, he hands her a pair of blue overalls to become “man of the house.” Her feelings are mixed: “Wearing britches so I could take the place of my daddy wasn’t the same  
as wearing them so I could climb trees.” Ann Fay fights her resentment at losing the life she’d known just as she fights to keep the weeds and the blue wisteria from overtaking the family vegetable garden. But when a polio outbreak changes  
everything again, remarkable Ann Fay needs all of her guts and resolve to face the unpredictable future.
