Book Description
Everything's changing for Sarah Beth Willis. After Robin's tragic accident, everyone seems different somehow. Days on the farm aren't the same, and the simple fun of riding a bike or playing outside can be scary. And there's talk in town about the new sixth-grade teacher at Shady Creek. Word is spreading quickly--Mrs. Smyre is like no other teacher anyone has ever seen around these parts. She's the first African American teacher. It's 1969, and while black folks and white folks are cordial, having a black teacher at an all-white school is a strange new happening. For Sarah Beth, there are so many unanswered questions. What is all this talk about Freedom Riders and school integration? Why can't she and Ruby become best friends? And who says school isn't for anybody who wants to learn--or teach? In a world filled with uncertainty, one very special teacher shows her young students and the adults in their lives that change invites unexpected possibilities.

Book Description
IN MY FAMILY, when anyone rides the wave of their emotions, we say they're chucking a birkett. When the emotion drives out all common sense, we say they're chucking a big one. The telltale signs are: flaming cheeks, shortness of breath, bulging eyes, and a prolonged illogical outburst.Gemma Stone is convinced that it's always unseemly to chuck a birkett and that it's actually insane to chuck one in front of a complete stranger. But that was before she fell for a boy who barely knows she exists, before she auditioned for the school play, before she met the family of freaks her sister Debbie is marrying into, before the unpredictable Raven De Head took an interest in her, and before she realized that at the right time and for the right reason, a birkett could be a beautiful thing.

Book Description
Parents can be extremely embarrassing - especially when they refuse to act like parents! And sometimes in MY MUM TARZAN it is not obvious who is the mother and who is the child! The house Mum and the narrator live in is basically one big dress-up box. And Mum has the kind of imagination that can take a broom, a pair of rainboots, a vacuum cleaner, a cardboard tube - and turn it into something wonderful. On stormy days, she dresses up as a pirate and drives the narrator to school in her ghostly galleon with the Jolly Roger flapping on the roof. Sometimes she goes shopping dressed as a mermaid and they don't go down the aisle with the canned fish on special because it makes her cry. Other days she is an Egyptian princess or the Man from Snowy River. Some of the neighbours envy her imagination; others say they wish shed grow up. But whether she is Tarzan swinging through the jungles or just Mum helping out with the reading at school, it's clear that - embarrassing or not - the narrator hopes that this unique mother never will.
