During World War II, Germany's Nazi forces stormed across Europe,
committing horrific crimes against Jewish people and others. In
1942, 21-year-old Sophie Scholl formed a student-led, anti-Nazi
organization called the White Rose. Their goal: to distribute
informational pamphlets to draw public attention to Nazi crimes
and, ultimately, stop them. Scholl's activism and resistance
eventually led to her capture and trial by the Nazi regime. In this
full-colour graphic novel, discover more about this daring woman
who risked everything to stand up for what she believed in.
'The Call of the Wild' is one of Jack London's most popular novels.
The story follows a dog named Buck, a 140lb Saint Bernard and
Scotch Shepard mix. Buck is abducted from a comfortable life as a
pet and tossed into the chaos of the Klondike Gold Rush and the
brutal realities of frontier life. Buck changes hands a number of
times before landing in the kindly hands of John Thornton. Thornton
takes ownership of Buck from a trio of ignorant stampeders, intent
upon making a dangerous river crossing. Buck refuses to cross,
despite a vicious beating. Thornton recognizes the dogs
intelligence and strength. He steps in to claim the dog and nurses
Buck back to health. But Buck is forever changed by the treatment
he has received at the hands of other men. Jack London spent a year
living in the Yukon and drew heavily upon his experiences there
while writing the book. He later said, "It was in the Klondike that
I found myself."

Bree can't wait for her first day at her new middle school, Enith
