  A fascinating look into the life and times of civil rights activist and journalist, Ida B. Wells. Born to slave parents in 1862, Ida became a teacher while still in her teens, later attending classes at Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1883, she boarded a train in Memphis. The conductor informed her she would need to move to the blacks-only car, despite the Civil Rights Act of 1875 outlawing segregation such as this. After refusing, she was physically removed by three men. This marked Ida B. Well's transition from teacher to civil rights activist. Throughout her amazing adult life, she traveled throughout the country, and abroad, advocating for African American rights, publishing stories about the cause, and shedding light the horrors of lynching. While she married and had four children, she continued as one of the nation's leading activists, fighting for what she believed in until her death in 1931. Contextual side stories offer further perspective on key details, locations, and people referenced in Wells's story. Archival photographs, drawings, and paintings are chronologically arranged, adding visual context to her remarkable life and career, as well as the inclusion of further reading and website recommendations, maps, glossary, and index. Content developed for young readers, interest level grades 4-6 (reading level, grade 5).

  An enchanting adventure about a flying house and the power of friendship, from the author of The Wishkeeper’s Apprentice.  
  Ten-year-old Callie is desperately homesick. She misses everything about living in London—the apartment building where everyone has known her since she was a baby, her best friend, all the places that remind her of her mother, who died three years ago. She doesn’t care to get to know Northern Ireland, no matter how friendly her next-door neighbor Sam is. Then a magical house crash-lands upside down in Callie’s backyard, and its magician, Winnifred, turns to Callie for help. The Wanderdust that powers the house and keeps it (and Winnifred) healthy has flown away, leaving Winnifred at the mercy of malicious fairies and dangerous giants. She can’t leave her house, so it’s up to an eager Sam and a reluctant Callie to find the missing Wanderdust and bring it home again. And maybe, along the way, figure out what home means to Callie.

  Twain began his career writing light, humorous verse, but he became a chronicler of the vanities, hypocrisies, and murderous acts of mankind. At mid-career, he combined rich humor, sturdy narrative, and social criticism in Huckleberry Finn. He was a master of rendering colloquial speech and helped to create and popularize a distinctive American literature built on American themes and language.                                                         
  A complete bibliography of Twain's works is nearly impossible to compile because of the vast number of pieces he wrote (often in obscure newspapers) and his use of several different pen names.
