Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
A young girl learns bittersweet life lessons on the family farm after her sister gets polio, in this poignant and funny novel set in the heartland in the 1940s. Pixie's defenses are up, and it's no wonder. She's been uprooted, the chickens seem to have it in for her, and now her beloved sister, Charlotte, has been stricken with polio and whisked away into quarantine. So it's not surprising Pixie lashes out. But her habit of making snap judgements--and giving her classmates nicknames like "Rotten Ricky" and "Big-Mouth Berta"--hasn't won her any friends. At least life on the farm is getting better with the delivery of its newest resident--a runt baby lamb. Raising Buster takes patience and understanding--and this slowing down helps Pixie put things in better perspective. So too does paying attention to her neighbors, and finding that with the war on she's not the only one missing someone. As Pixie pushes past her own pain to become a bigger person, she's finally able to make friends; and to laugh about the fact that it is in places where she least expected it. "Pixie is full of heart! A laugh-out-loud book that also wades into poignant life lessons. A must read!"--Lynda Mullaly Hunt, author of Fish in a Tree "Pixie has bad luck--and is bad luck if you ask her. But she also has grit and gumption, so when her bad luck doesn't let go, she opens her eyes and her heart wider. Her world changes when she changes how she looks at her world. I loved Pixie and her story--a story filled with humor, hope, and everyday heroes."--Lynn Plourde, author of Maxi's Secrets

Author: Charlie Huston
Publisher: Mulholland Books
ISBN: 031620241X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
Skinner founded his career in "asset protection" on fear. To touch anyone under his protection was to invite destruction. A savagely effective methodology, until Skinner's CIA handlers began to fear him as much as his enemies did and banished him to the hinterlands of the intelligence community. Now, an ornate and evolving cyber-terrorist attack is about to end that long exile. His asset is Jae, a roboticist with a gift for seeing the underlying systems violently shaping a new era of global guerrilla warfare. At the root of it all is a young boy, the innocent seed of a plot grown in the slums of Mumbai. Brought to flower, that plot will tip the balance of world power in a perilous new direction. A combination of Le Carre spycraft with Stephenson techno-philosophy from the novelist hailed by the Washington Post as "the voice of twenty-first century crime fiction," Skinner is Charlie Huston's masterpiece -- a new kind of thriller for a new kind of world.

Never Give Up

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Racing through Osaka, Japan, during World War II, frightened four-year-old Nagayasu Ogasawara vowed to never give up, as he and his family fled the feared B29 bomber planes. They abandoned their family store and home, seeking refuge in the rural mountains of Japan where the enemy aircraft never flew, and where they learned to subsist as farmers. With his young life torn apart by war, Nagayasu reacted by becoming a bully, the terror of the mountain, until discovering judo at age eleven, which reverted him onto a positive, disciplined path. Upon graduating college with a degree in physical education, Nagayasu, was sent by his university to America to teach judo, the martial art turned Olympic sport. This former bully was now, through judo, teaching and mentoring American students, young and old, while he, an immigrant, pursued the American dream. He would eventually marry and have two daughters, one of whom he coached onto the USA Olympic Judo Team in 1996. Along the way and among thousands of students, he also began teaching and training a seven-year-old boy, full of spirit and determination. This young boy would eventually become not only a US Collegiate National Judo Champion, but also a National Hero, as he was Jeremy Glick of United Flight 93, one of the brave men who stormed the cockpit of the plane commandeered by terrorists on 9/11 that crashed in Shanksville, PA. Relying on his mental and physical judo training as instilled by Nagayasu Ogasawaya, Jeremy, like his teacher, did not give up as he bravely fought in attempt to save his fellow passengers and intended targets of the terrorist's plot. This fascinating memoir recounts with accuracy the life of Nagayasu Ogasawara, a bully turned mentor, who touched the lives of countless children, instilling character and discipline, while training their bodies in the sport of judo.
