Sal, as Sally prefers, doesn’t remember anything from before that accident that nearly killed her so she is being treated as a medical miracle even years later. As I don’t think there would very be anything that would convince me to carry a tapeworm. The story starts out very interesting seeing how the world is different from today. ![]() However, things are starting to go wrong with the tape worms and people are not acting like they should so Sally must figure out what is going on and her new place in the world. ![]() The story primarily follows Sally Mitchel who nearly died six years ago but was saved by the SymboGen tape worm.

Parasite is the first book in the Parasitology trilogy by Mira Grant (aka Seanan McGuire). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I like that this is a story of individuation and self-actualization, with Maureen having to realize that Francine also has struggles and being outwardly confident can hide inward insecurity. The tension between them grows until they end up running against each other for class president. Francine pulls away more and more, even choosing to go by Fran, and Maureen has to figure out how to navigate friendships and school on her own for the first time. Maureen also has the added misery of being in Cadet Corps, an activity she would never have picked on her own. ![]() Maureen, who is shyer, wants them to be in the same classes, but Francine seems thrilled to have time away from her twin. Twins is a fun read and one I have now owned two copies of, so I am hanging on to this one so I don’t have to buy a third! Maureen and Francine have always been together in the same class but now, as they enter middle school, they’ve been separated in all but two classes. ![]() ![]() ![]() « previous 1 2 3 4 5 next » sort by « previous 1 2 3 4 5 next » Note: these are all the books on Goodreads for this author.

But the reality is that Superman, his pals, and his story were based on a number of people, characters, and stories that already existed when two teenaged boys named Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster set out to make their mark on the comic book industry. ![]() ![]() Superman is so deeply rooted in popular culture that virtually everything about him, his origin story, and his supporting cast almost seem to have simply always existed. ![]() ![]() But the example of following one’s inner compass and bucking the status quo comes across loud and clear. The sudden appearance of all the girls in pants (and smiles) at the end as well as multiracial faces among both hecklers and classmates make this more of a story than a biography. The constant association of skirts with frowns and pants with happiness oversimplifies both the historical moment and a modern-day environment in which skirts are the norm in many cultures. She decides to stick with her decision: “I’m wearing my clothes!” In the end, she’s a trendsetter. ![]() He says that people sometimes fear what they don’t understand, but he doesn’t tell her what to do. In a touching scene, she sits with her father and asks if she should stop wearing pants. The townspeople are shocked! They heckle her, they throw things at her, they tell her not to wear boys’ clothes. Only “uncomfortable dresses…heavy-and-hot-and-hard-to-breathe-in dresses.” The expressive pink and blue drawings and patterns on ample white space show unhappy, immobile girls, while boys in pants cartwheel, jump, run, and play. ![]() In the early 1800s, girls weren’t allowed to wear pants. ![]() A young schoolgirl learns to follow her own rules despite opposition and pressure in this picture book inspired by Mary Edward Walker. ![]() ![]() ![]() By AUTHOR Jane Austen Eric Carle Lewis Carroll Roald Dahl Charles Dickens Sydney Hanson C.Indestructubles Little Golden Books Magic School Bus Magic Tree House Pete the Cat Step Into Reading Book The Hunger Games By POPULAR SERIES Chronicles of Narnia Curious Geoge Diary of a Wimpy Kid Fancy Nancy Harry Potter I Survived If You Give. ![]() By TOPIC Award Winning Books African American Children's Books Biography & Autobiography Diversity & Inclusion Foreign Language & Bilingual Books Hispanic & Latino Children's Books Holidays & Celebrations Holocaust Books Juvenile Nonfiction New York Times Bestsellers Professional Development Reference Books Test Prep.By GRADE Elementary School Middle School High Schoolīy AGE Board Books (newborn to age 3) Early Childhood Readers (ages 4-8) Children's Picture Books (ages 3-8) Juvenile Fiction (ages 8-12) Young Adult Fiction (ages 12+).BESTSELLERS in EDUCATION Shop All Education Books. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This would already be enough for most of the population, but the residents of Lorien are also born with additional powers that are called legacies.

It was an extension of the Renaissance period, which then led to the Enlightenment which brought advances across all areas of human endeavor. The “Scientific Revolution” was an important movement that emphasized Europe’s shift toward modernized science in fields such as mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology, and chemistry (Grant).
