Alexander and the Wonderful, Marvelous, Excellent, Terrific Ninety Days
Author: Judith Viorst
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 141657137X
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Judith Viorst is known and loved by readers of all ages, for children’s books such as Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day; nonfiction titles, including the bestseller Necessary Losses; and her collections of humorous poetry, which make perfect gifts for birthdays, Mother’s Day, graduation, Christmas, Chanukah, or at any time of year. Whatever became of Alexander after that famously bad day? And did you know that Judith Viorst is his mother? And what happens to her passion for household neatness and orderliness, her deep devotion to schedules, her compulsive yearning to offer helpful advice when Alexander— now grown up, married, and the father of three—moves his family into his parents’ house? What happens is controlled, and sometimes not so controlled, chaos, as lives and routines are turned upside down and the house is overrun with scattered toys, pacifiers, baby bottles, sippy cups, pink-sequined flip-flops, jigsaw puzzles, and fishy crackers. With her characteristic sparkle and wit, Viorst relates her efforts to (graciously) share space, to become (if only a little bit) more flexible, to (sort of) keep her opinions to herself, and even to eventually figure out how to unlock the safety locks of the baby's (expletives deleted) bouncy seat. She describes how she and her husband, while sometimes longing for the former peace and tranquility of unravished rooms and quiet dinners for two unaccompanied by cries of “Oh, yuck!” survived and relished the extended visit of the Alexander Five. She also opens our eyes to the joys of multigenerational family living and to the unexpected opportunities to grow that life presents—even under the most unlikely circumstances. Several generations of readers surely will relate to this funny and loving book, enhanced throughout by Laura Gibson’s delightful two-color drawings.

This collection of essays sheds new light on the verb in English. The authors illustrate that verbs can only be properly understood if studied from both a theoretical and descriptive perspective.

In Part Two, computer corpora are used to study various types of verb complements and collocations, to trace the development in English of certain verb forms, and to detail the usage of verbs in different varieties and genres of English.

Crazy For You
Author: S.B. Alexander
Publisher: S.B. Alexander
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
One boy looking for salvation. One girl yearning for hope. Colton Caldwell is hotter than I remember—broad chest, muscles in all the right places, wavy brown hair, and eyes that suck me in. All private-school perfection. Pity he can’t drive worth a damn. He hit me with his truck, just backed out without looking, leaving me bruised, aching... and well aware of him. But things have changed since he left. A lot of things. He’s no longer the budding football star, and I’m no longer the gawky kid he never noticed. We have one thing in common now… our tortured past. When I witness a fight between Colton and his dad, I realize just how much we’re alike. The only problem is, he doesn’t seem to think so. But as the darkness we try to leave behind pushes us together… We realize one thing is certain. Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow isn’t given. So what if we live today as if it’s our last? Crazy for You is a boy-next-door, stand-alone romance. Be prepared for all the feels, a tortured hero, a strong heroine, and a happily ever after in this angsty, coming of age, sports romance. Topics: new adult romance, alpha heroes romance, feisty heroine romance, steamy romance novels, contemporary romance novels, slow burn romance, angsty romances, romance books, romantic books, full novel, love story, sports romances, football romances Praise for Crazy For You "Every now and then there comes a story that will rip your heart out and piece it back together. This is that story." J.A. Owenby, International Bestselling Author "S.B. Alexander delivers an emotional angsty heart-wrenching tale of love and loss that had me swooning from the first page to the last. Colton is the ultimate broken, tortured bad boy, and he owned my heart completely." USA Today bestselling author Siobhan Davis. "S.B. delivered yet another beautiful story with Crazy For You, it was powerful, strong, meaningful and heartfelt with the story that was Skye and Colton! I absolutely loved and adored every minute of it! I would highly recommend checking it out, especially if you've read any of S.B. Alexander's other books!" Bookaholic Dreamer "Talk about an emotional rollercoaster! Susan is bringing out all the feels with Crazy For You. Grab some tissues because you'll need them." Anna B. Doe, Author of Greyford High/Blairwood University Series "With emotions on every page and a storyline I did not want to put down this was a fabulous read. S.B. Alexander pulls the reader into her tales and they finish the book better than when they started it." Overflowing Bookcase "Where to even start.... First of all YOU HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK!! Just prepare to have a box of tissue with you. You can just feel the emotion, love, and healing in this book. I cried and laughed and in the end cried again!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."

In this YA novel in verse from bestselling authors Kwame Alexander and Mary Rand Hess (Solo), which Kirkus called “lively, moving, and heartfelt” in a starred review, Noah and Walt just want to leave their geek days behind and find “cool,” but in the process discover a lot about first loves, friendship, and embracing life . . . as well as why Black Lives Matter is so important for all.

Each one contains words Noah’s always wanted to say to Sam, and he begins secretly creating artwork using the lines that speak his heart.

At the same time, American flags are being left around town. While some think it’s a harmless prank and others see it as a form of protest, Noah can’t shake the feeling something bigger is happening to his community. Especially after he witnesses events that hint divides and prejudices run deeper than he realized. As the personal and social tensions increase around them, Noah and Walt must decide what is really important when it comes to love, friendship, sacrifice, and fate.

Stuart: A Life Backwards
Author: Alexander Masters
Publisher: Delacorte Press
ISBN: 0440336120
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
In this extraordinary book, Alexander Masters has created a moving portrait of a troubled man, an unlikely friendship, and a desperate world few ever see. A gripping who-done-it journey back in time, it begins with Masters meeting a drunken Stuart lying on a sidewalk in Cambridge, England, and leads through layers of hell…back through crimes and misdemeanors, prison and homelessness, suicide attempts, violence, drugs, juvenile halls and special schools–to expose the smiling, gregarious thirteen-year-old boy who was Stuart before his long, sprawling, dangerous fall. Shocking, inspiring, and hilarious by turns, Stuart: A Life Backwards is a writer’s quest to give voice to a man who, beneath his forbidding exterior, has a message for us all: that every life–even the most chaotic and disreputable–is a story worthy of being told.
