Puck, expelled from yet another boarding school, is on her way back to her parents, who are doing alien research on Shoon.

Book Description
Ivory Bellows fell down a well. Ivory Bellows woke up in hell. Better listen to the big blue giant, zip your lip, and hush. Better not stare at his son who makes you blush. Imagine if you were a giant, fifteen-foot alien from another planet and found a strange being unconscious in a foreign object... a flying pod. The creature is tiny enough to be a child and you’d have such a big heart, you'd want to adopt this poor orphaned child, right? Only... what if the five-foot human yun didn't know she was your child? What if she thought she was your dinner instead? The Raza are a people full of honor, faith, and family. Especially Havak of the Jaha clan. His first yun is of his heart, not his blood. But when his mate dies and his beloved yun goes off into the world to study other people and languages, the Creators give him a second chance at life. He happens upon a strange little yun of a species unlike anything he’s ever seen. A strange, five-fingered species. When the yun wakes and screams, he gives her a bub-bub, wraps her in a pu-pu, and packs her in his sket to bring home. His huge heart is filled with love for his second adopted yun. ♥♥♥ ♥♥♥ ♥♥♥ ♥♥♥ ♥♥♥ Ivory Bellows wakes up in a strange land filled with blue giants. They threaten her in their strange language, shove a plug in her mouth to keep her quiet and take her home to fatten her up. And marinate her. They must marinate her when she sleeps, because she’s swollen and always needs to pee. Oh, God. She’s dinner. It’s only a matter of time until they decide when. But when a hot new alien arrives, the only way she can keep sane is to pretend he’s her husband and she’s his wife and everything is hunky-dory fine. Thank God this new arrival, Iik, doesn’t know her language. Yet. "I laughed so hard tears came out of my eyes and my cat left me to get away from my strange behavior." "This was the funniest romance book I have read in a year. I stayed up all night to read it." "I was delightfully entertained and read this in one sitting. It was unique, well written, and it was so FUNNY. "

Music and Social Justice
Author: Cathy Benedict
Publisher:
ISBN: 0190062126
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
In this book author Cathy Benedict challenges and reframes traditional ways of addressing many of the topics we have come to think of as social justice. Offering practical suggestions for helping both teachers and students think philosophically (and thus critically) about the world around them, each chapter engages with important themes through music making and learning as it presents scenarios, examples of dialogue with students, unit ideas and lesson plans geared toward elementary students (ages 6-14). Taken-for-granted subjects often considered beyond the understanding of elementary students such as friendship, racism, poverty, religion, and class are addressed and interrogated in such a way that honours the voice and critical thinking of the elementary student. Suggestions are given that help both teachers and students to pause, reflect and redirect dialogue with questions that uncover bias, misinformation and misunderstandings that too often stand in the way of coming to know and embracing difference. Guiding questions, which anchor many curricular mandates, are used throughout in order to scaffold critical and reflective thinking beginning in the earliest grades of elementary music education. Where does social justice reside? Whose voice is being heard and whose is being silenced? How do we come to think of and construct poverty? How is it that musics become used the way they are used? What happens to songs initially intended for socially driven purposes when their significance is undermined? These questions and more are explored encouraging music teachers to embrace a path toward socially just engagements at the elementary and middle school levels.
