"Sometimes a story comes along that just plain makes you want to hug the world. The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise is Dan Gemeinhart’s finest book yet — and that’s saying something. Your heart needs this joyful miracle of a book." —Katherine Applegate, acclaimed author of The One and Only Ivan and Wishtree A 2020 ILA Teachers’ Choice A 2019 Parents' Choice Award Gold Medal Winner Winner of the 2019 CYBILS Award for Middle Grade Fiction An Amazon Top 20 Children's Book of 2019 A Junior Library Guild Selection Five years. That's how long Coyote and her dad, Rodeo, have lived on the road in an old school bus, criss-crossing the nation. It's also how long ago Coyote lost her mom and two sisters in a car crash. Coyote hasn’t been home in all that time, but when she learns that the park in her old neighborhood is being demolished—the very same park where she, her mom, and her sisters buried a treasured memory box—she devises an elaborate plan to get her dad to drive 3,600 miles back to Washington state in four days...without him realizing it. Along the way, they'll pick up a strange crew of misfit travelers. Lester has a lady love to meet. Salvador and his mom are looking to start over. Val needs a safe place to be herself. And then there's Gladys... Over the course of thousands of miles, Coyote will learn that going home can sometimes be the hardest journey of all...but that with friends by her side, she just might be able to turn her “once upon a time” into a “happily ever after.” This title has common core connections.

Rodeo as Refuge, Rodeo as Rebellion
Author: Elyssa Ford
Publisher: University Press of Kansas
ISBN: 0700630317
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
From the Wild West shows of the nineteenth century to the popular movie Westerns of the twentieth century, one view of an idealized and mythical West has been promulgated. Elyssa Ford suggests that we look beyond these cowboy clichés to complicate and enrich our picture of the American West. Rodeo as Refuge, Rodeo as Rebellion takes us from the beachfront rodeo arenas in Hawai‘i to the reservation rodeos held by Native Americans to reveal how people largely missing from that stereotypical picture make rodeo—and America—their own. Because rodeo has such a hold on our historical and cultural imagination, it becomes an ideal arena for establishing historical and cultural relevance. By claiming a place in that arena, groups rarely included in our understanding of the West—African Americans, Native Americans, Mexican Americans, Native Hawaiians, and the LGBT+ community—emphasize their involvement in the American past and proclaim their right to an American identity today. In doing so, these groups change what Americans know about their history and themselves. In her journey through these race- and group-specific rodeos, Ford finds that some see rodeo as a form of escape, a refuge from a hostile outside world. For others, rodeo has become a site of rebellion, a place to proclaim their difference and to connect to a different story of America. Still others, like Mexican Americans and the LGBT+ community, look inward, using rodeo to coalesce and celebrate their own identities. In Ford’s study of these historically marginalized groups, she also examines where women fit in race- and group-specific rodeos—and concludes that even within these groups, the traditional masculinity of the rodeo continues to be promoted. Female competitors may find refuge within alternate rodeos based on their race or sexuality, but they still face limitations due to their gender identity. Whether as refuge or rebellion, rodeos of difference emerge in this book as quintessentially American, remaking how we think about American history, culture, and identity.

The Bomber Redemtion August-September 2020
Author: Ben Samuel
Publisher: Dog Ear Publishing
ISBN: 159858491X
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
This book tells a futuristic story of how drastic changes in American society influenced the character development of a man who had been a psychopathic youth. As a teenager, he had been a social outcast who set off bombs. Following circumstances, which led to a Moslem takeover of the United States, his continuing skills as a bomb-maker become instrumental in removing the occupiers from the country. To the few who knew him, he becomes a national hero. This book also describes acts of terrorism by American insurgents against the Moslem occupiers, their families, and sympathizers thus mirroring the situation the United States finds itself currently in with the terrorists of Iraq and Afghanistan To many faithful Moslems, Americans are seen as invaders who have occupied their lands. They see insurgents fighting against the governments that support the Americans as noble warriors trying to free their land. But Americans see these Iraqis as terrorists. History provides various examples of how acts of terrorism can be rationalized as justified by those in whose name they were committed, whether Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu, or atheists. Some present-day Americans support doing the same to non-believers in democracy. They disregard the truth that it is one's frame of reference that defines who the "good guys" are and who the "bad guys" are. Native Americans, once regarded as savages and barbarians, are now seen by many non-Native Americans as the exploited victims of the civilized Christian Europeans. These supposedly well-meaning Christians tried to save the souls of the "uncivilized' heathens they encountered in the New World by killing them and destroying their homes. The author is a 79 year old war veteran confined to a wheelchair. Before suffering a stroke, he had been a psychologist in private practice and in hospitals, working with a variety of patients, including psychopaths. His present work is a follow-up on what happened to the maladjusted youth he had written about in a 1985 novel, called "Bomber " using the pen name of Ben Samuel. The author has had a longstanding interest in how one's society defines and judges behavior. He has written articles about this subject for professional journals. In 2005, he wrote a two-volume non-fiction work concerning social values, namely the interaction between money and health in America. Profits of this book are to go to Doctors Without Borders and Physicians for Social Responsibility.
