Book Description
This aptly named fiction anthology—tomo means “friend” in Japanese—is a true labor of friendship to benefit teens in Japan whose lives were upended by the violent earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011. Authors from Japan and around the world have contributed works of fiction set in or related to Japan. Young adult English-language readers will be able to connect with their Japanese counterparts through stories of contemporary Japanese teens, ninja and yokai teens, folklore teens, mixed-heritage teens, and non-Japanese teens who call Japan home. Tales of friendship, mystery, love, ghosts, magic, science fiction, and history will propel readers to Japan past and present and to Japanese universes abroad. Edited and with a foreword by Holly Thompson, Tomo contributing authors include Naoko Awa, Deni Bechard, Jennifer Fumiko Cahill, Liza Dalby, Megumi Fujino, Andrew Fukuda, Alan Gratz, Katrina Toshiko Grigg-Saito, Suzanne Kamata, Sachiko Kashiwaba, Kelly Luce, Shogo Oketani and Leza Lowitz, Ryusuke Saito, Graham Salisbury, Fumio Takano, and Wendy Tokunaga, among others. Through understanding comes compassion and the desire to help; portions of the proceeds of Tomo will be donated to ongoing relief efforts for teens in Japan. Holly Thompson is a longtime writing teacher and resident of Japan and author of the young adult verse novel Orchards, which was nominated for a 2012 YALSA/ALA Best Fiction for Young Adults award. She serves as the regional advisor for the Tokyo chapter of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators.

I'm too busy to babysit, so I hope you and that mongrel are up for the job. Phil, and his father's beloved heading dog, Blue, have to spend the Christmas break working on a sheep station while Phil's dad undergoes out-of-town, cancer treatment. The station manager, Chopper, isn't happy having a teenager in his care and certainly not a sheepdog that doesn't understand his signals. Things start to improve for Phil when Chopper's step-daughter, Emara arrives back from holiday, but a wayward ram and a poor decision plummets both boy and dog into danger. Phil will need all the strength he's got to get out alive.

Book Description
Este tercer tomo de la Historia Monetaria Documental de Puerto Rico (La Moneda Macuquina) son transcripciones de más de 240 páginas de fuentes primarias del Archivo Histórico Nacional en Madrid. Al finalizar en P.R. las remesas del Situado Mexicano, nuestro primer Intendente de Hacienda, Don Alejandro Ramírez, autorizó en 1813 el uso de la moneda macuquina para mitigar la falta de numerario en circulación. La macuquina circuló libremente en Puerto Rico hasta 1857 cuando fue canjeada por moneda de cuño nacional español. Los documentos primarios presentados datan de principalmente desde 1813 hasta 1836. Presentamos las situaciones enfrentadas principalmente por los comerciantes en Mayagüez y Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, debido a la inestabilidad económica que arrastraba la moneda macuquina. Esta serie de libros ayudará a comprender mejor la historia monetaria y económica puertorriqueña y servirá de complemento para el estudio de la numismática de Puerto Rico del siglo XIX, bajo el dominio español.
