"When troops entered Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the South seemed to be winning the Civil War. But Gettysburg was a turning point. After three bloody days of fighting, the Union finally won the battle.
Inspired by the valor of the many thousands of soldiers who died there, President Lincoln visited Gettysburg to give a brief but moving tribute. His Gettysburg Address is one of the most famous speeches in American history."
Ten-year-old Sherry Alston was never told about her half sister, Miranda. Yet soon after Sherry arrives at her Aunt Judith’s house, she somehow begins to learn the dead girl’s secrets. Lindsey and Tammy, who live next door, decide to keep an eye on Sherry. Gradually, they too begin to feel Miranda’s presence.
As the unexplainable incidents multiply, Miss Judith convinces her brother, Dr. Alston, to try to communicate with his dead daughter through a medium. Tammy and Lindsey, suspicious of the famous medium, unmask her powers only to find that there are deeper mysteries still.
This is a haunting story of two half sisters, trying to communicate their need for love and recognition. The eerie mood of mystery that surrounds the girls is perfectly captured by Caldecott Medal winner Trina Schart Hyman’s illustrations.
As far as I’ve been able to determine, giants come in roughly three sizes: ‘Very’ big, ‘Way, WAY’ big, and ‘Good grief, would you look at THAT!’ big. It is possible there there may be even larger ones, but I’ve never personally seen any.
A few folks, mostly adults, contend that there are no such things as giants. I will not waste your time nor mine disputing such radical theories. They probably don’t believe in the Easter Bunny or Tooth Fairy either. Blasphemy.
In addition (and you may not believe this) there are folks who dispute the fact that hamburgers grow on bushes. Good grief…doesn’t anyone major in agriculture anymore? I know for a fact that a certain fast-food chain started this rumor. Want scientific proof? Well, there are pictures of several hamburger bushes in this very book.

Children just learning to read can use them as little readers, either reading them on their own, reading them aloud, or reading them along with the narration on CD. Yet what every child enjoys most is being read to. Here are Bible stories written in a language which is simple and reverent. The drawings must also be given due attention: they are simply beautiful.
There is a great need for good reading for children. Here is a good beginning.
In 1924, William Edward Burghardt (W.E.B.) Du Bois (1868-1963) penned The Gift of Black Folk in response to systemic racism in the United States, showing that “...the American spirit is a new and interesting result of diverse threads of thought and feeling coming not only from America but from Europe and Asia and indeed from Africa.”
Du Bois was the first African American to earn a Ph.D. from Harvard University, and later became a professor of history, sociology, and economics at Atlanta University. In 1909 he co-founded the NAACP. Du Bois was a lifelong leader and proponent of civil rights.
Today, magnetic resonance imaging machines (MRIs) and similar technologies are saving lives in hospitals and clinics throughout the world. In 1969, this kind of technique was just an idea in the visionary mind of Dr. Raymond Damadian.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Critics Circle Award, Gilead is a hymn of praise and lamentation to the God-haunted existence that Reverend Ames loves passionately, and from which he will soon part.
Gilgamesh, half-god and half-man, in his loneliness and isolation becomes a cruel tyrant over the citizens of Uruk. To impress them forever he orders a great wall to be built, driving his people to exhaustion and despair so that they cry to the Sun God for help. In answer, another kind of man, Enkidu, is sent to earth to live among the animals and learn kindness from them. He falls in love with Shamhat, a singer from the temple, and he follows her back to Uruk. There, Enkidu, the “uncivilized” beast from the forest, shows the evil Gilgamesh through friendship what it means to be human.

Giant pandas: they are indigenous to China and are adored the world over. But they are more than a bundle of fluff and squeaks!
