Book Description
In this novel for middle school-age children, a young girl named Alice is having a horrible holiday. Her parents are busy, her neighbors are mean, and her brother is totally annoying. On top of all that, she's has homework - on Christmas Eve! - which involves writing a book report on Alice in Wonderland. While reading Lewis Carroll's book, our contemporary Alice becomes drowsy, sees a White Rabbit, and follows it down a rabbit hole, plummeting her into Wonderland in the middle of winter. While in Wonderland, Alice encounters many of Lewis Carroll's iconic characters, who prove incapable of helping her have fun on their holiday - Winter Wonder Day. As it turns out, Wonder has gone missing, and Alice is called upon to help find her. Alice gets advice from the Caterpillar and the Cheshire Cat, endures the hijinks of Tweedle Dum and Dumber, and goes on a Wonder snipe hunt with the White Knight, all to no avail. That's when the Queen of Hearts arrives with her entourage and puts Alice on trial, which leads to Alice's realization regarding the importance of Wonder for bringing joy and warmth to holiday season. In the final chapter, Alice is awakened by her family and transforms a dreary Christmas Eve into a celebratory gathering of family, pets, and neighbors - all of whom remind her of characters from Wonderland.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
Perfection has a cost . . . With transporting prose and meticulous detail, set in an era that remains shockingly relevant today, Rae Meadows's Winterland tells a story of glory, loss, hope, and determination, and of finding light where none exists. Soviet Union, 1973: There is perhaps no greater honor for a young girl than to be chosen for the famed USSR gymnastics program. When eight-year-old Anya is selected, her family is thrilled. What is left of her family, that is. Years ago, her mother disappeared without a trace, leaving Anya’s father devastated and their lives dark and quiet in the bitter cold of Siberia. Anya’s only confidant is her neighbor, an older woman who survived unspeakable horrors during her ten years imprisoned in a Gulag camp—and who, unbeknownst to Anya, was also her mother’s confidant and might hold the key to her disappearance. As Anya rises through the ranks of competitive gymnastics, and as other girls fall from grace, she soon comes to realize that there is very little margin of error for anyone and so much to lose.

Book Description
No matter how hard we try, we just can't get out. It's like we are not allowed to. Some give up and say, “alright then, if you won't give, I will bloody well take.” And you know what Shona, I don't blame them. Shona and her class are studying the Charles Dickens classic, Oliver Twist. She's the new girl in school and is finding it hard to stay out of trouble – much like Oliver himself! When she's given a new phone by a stranger, she begins to suspect there's something unusual about the new boys she's met. Unexpected Twist is a re-telling of Oliver Twist by one of the best-loved figures in the children's book world, Michael Rosen. This thrilling story was brought to vivid life by The Children's Theatre Partnership, and Royal & Derngate, Northampton, whose co-productions have included Holes and The Jungle Book. Directed by James Dacre (2020 Olivier Award nominated Our Lady of Kibeho), Rosen's novel was adapted for the stage by BAFTA award-winning playwright Roy Williams (Death of England, Sucker Punch) with original music by rising R&B star Yaya Bey and BAC Beatbox Academy's Conrad Murray.
