Up
Author: Patricia Ellis Herr
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 030795207X
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
When Trish Herr became pregnant with her first daughter, Alex, she and her husband, Hugh, vowed to instill a bond with nature in their children. By the time Alex was five, her over-the-top energy levels led Trish to believe that her very young daughter might be capable of hiking adult-sized mountains. In Up, Trish recounts their always exhilarating--and sometimes harrowing--adventures climbing all forty-eight of New Hampshire's highest mountains. Readers will delight in the expansive views and fresh air that only peakbaggers are afforded, and will laugh out loud as Trish urges herself to "mother up" when she and Alex meet an ornery--and alarmingly bold--spruce grouse on the trail. This is, at heart, a resonant, emotionally honest account of a mother's determination to foster independence and fearlessness in her daughter, to teach her "that small doesn't necessarily mean weak; that girls can be strong; and that big, bold things are possible."

11 days. 13 clues. And one kid who won't give up. Smack Dab in the Middle of Maybe is "part treasure hunt, part wilderness adventure, and all heart" (Alan Gratz, New York Times bestselling author of Refugee). How far would you go to find something that might not even exist? All her life, Cricket's mama has told her stories about a secret room painted by a mysterious artist. Now Mama's run off, and Cricket thinks the room might be the answer to getting her to come back. If it exists. And if she can find it. Cricket's first clue is a coin from a grown-over ghost town in the woods. So with her daddy's old guidebook and a coat full of snacks stolen from the Cash 'n' Carry, Cricket runs away to find the room. Surviving in the woods isn't easy. While Cricket camps out in an old tree house and looks for clues, she meets the last resident of the ghost town, encounters a poetry-loving dog (who just might hold a key to part of the puzzle), and discovers that sometimes you have to get a little lost . . . to really find your way. 2020 Mississippi Library Association Children's Author Award 2019 Southern Book Award Winner--Children's Category "A tale of adventure, full of mystery." --Robert Beatty, New York Times bestselling author of Serafina and the Black Cloak "An unforgettable story about a gutsy girl who will steal your heart." --Kathleen Glasgow, New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces "Lyrical and endearing, this debut is a genuine adventure tale." --Kirkus Reviews, Starred

The Enchanting Adventures of Christian Nature

ISBN: 1973610310
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
Imagine living in a God-created heart in the world of your imagination. Imagine living in a world where the Holy Spirit, seen allegorically in the person of the beautiful patience of Christian Nature, lovingly and tenderly seeks to fill every nook and cranny of your heart with the beauty that only the Holy Spirit through Christian Nature can provide. Imagine living in a world where each citizen, like a cherished and highly valued goblet, is filled to overflowing with enchanted golden drops of comfort to freely pour upon everyone whom their lives may touch. Imagine living in a world where each citizen places their cup filled with goodness to the parched, dry lips of the weary traveler who has not tasted the refreshing drops of kindness for a long time and, in so doing, restoring life to that previously hardened person who was on the verge of losing his life to a thirst for goodness in a hardened world. Is this the kind of world in which you would like to live? Sounds nice, you may say. But this is not real life! The purpose of this literary endeavor, the reason for this story, is to reveal to each reader that this world is real. It really does exist! It exists in our own God-created heart; and the Holy Spirit, who has filled it with the beauty of Christian Nature, lovingly invites you to live here as a cherished citizen for all the days of the enchanted adventure of your life!
