It Might Be an Apple is a boisterous, philosophical shaggy dog
story for young children - and probably a few adults. The story
follows a child's hilarious, wildly inventive train of thought
through all the things an apple might be if it is not, in fact, an
apple. Distrusting the apple's convincing appearance, the child's
imagination spirals upwards and outwards into a madcap fantasy
world - maybe it's a star from outer space with tiny aliens on
board? Perhaps it wants a cool hairstyle? Does it feel scared, or
snore at night? Children can see what all these crazy, funny things
might look like. This book is not only huge fun, but it also
encourages a questioning, challenging approach to the world around
us.
Behind enemy lines, Jedi Knight Aayla Secura's covert mission is
threatened by an encounter with Shon-Ju-a former Padawan turned
cult leader. Shon-Ju claims to be after the same Separatist warlord
that Aayla was sent to capture, but he also has plenty of reasons
to hate the Republic and the Jedi. The Force is with Aayla, but she
may need more than her lightsaber against The Deadly Hands of
Shon-JuA"!
**A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection** What happens
when the living risk their lives to save the souls of the dead?
Every summer, in an isolated Japanese village, a celebration known
as the Festival of Shadows takes place. The villagers are entrusted
to assist the troubled souls or "shadows" of those who died
tragically, and to help them come to terms with their deaths and
find eternal peace. Naoko, a young girl born in the village, is
given a year to save the soul of a mysterious young man. She
develops strong feelings for her shadow--a handsome young man, an
artist--but he seems haunted by a terrible secret. She has a year
to find out what happened to him, to help him come to terms with
his past, and if she fails, his soul will be lost forever... As the
year goes by, Naoko finds herself teetering between the worlds of
the living and the dead. What is the terrible secret that seems to
be haunting her shadow? And could she be risking her own life to
help someone who has already lost his? Naoko puts her own life on
the line to save the soul of this man she loves, in an exciting,
moving and beautifully drawn story that takes the reader on a
journey from the beautiful Japanese countryside to glamorous Tokyo
art world.
