Book Description
Living life as a teenager is hard; we are treated like children and expected to behave like adults. Being a part of Gen Z is harder; cybercrime, bullying and insecurities are just routine things for us. But it’s not all sadness and despair, there is excitement, self-discovery and emotion too. Living Fifteen is a poetry book that articulates the experiences into words – words that speak on levels, words that make you laugh, words that make you cry and words that understand you. Read this book to realise that you aren’t alone in this battle against the world; to realise what your children are going through and that you too were once a teenager who felt the world was working against you. So pick this book up and give it a read. Send pictures of what you like about it to your friends; pass it on; tuck it safely in a box only to rediscover it in a few years and read it once more.

With her usual warmth, perceptiveness, and humor, Newbery Medal winner Beverly Cleary creates the joys and worries of a young girl's first crush. It seems too good to be true.

The Lives and Extraordinary Adventures of Fifteen Tramp Writers from the Golden Age of Vagabondage
Author: Ian Cutler
Publisher: Feral House
ISBN: 1627310983
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 454
Book Description
The combined events of the end of the American Civil War in 1865, the first transcontinental railroad opening in 1869, and the financial crash of 1873, found large numbers—including thousands of former soldiers well used to an outdoor life and tramping—thrown into a transient life and forced to roam the continent, surviving on whatever resources came to hand. For most, the life of the hobo was born out of necessity. For a few it became a lifestyle choice. Some of the latter group committed their adventures to print, both autobiographical and fictional, and together with their British and Irish counterparts, whose wanderlust was fueled by an altogether different genesis, they account for the fifteen tramp writers whose stories and ideas are the subject of this book. The lives of some, like Jack Everson, Jack Black and Tom Kromer, are told in a single volume, others, like Morley Roberts and Stephen Graham, have eighty and fifty published works to their credit respectively. Some remain completely unknown and their books are long since out of print, others, like Trader Horn and Jim Tully, were Hollywood celebrities. Others yet, such as Black, Tulley, Horn, Bart Kennedy, Leon Ray Livingstone, and Jack London, had their stories immortalized in film.
