All your life, you are taught the difference between right and
wrong. You become aware that each action of your life results in a
reaction that may or may not be desired. This is the story of a man
who had all the makings of a prosperous future, only to have an
event occur that altered his life forever. Journey with the author
as he describes what happened to him, how the courts reacted to
him, and how he adjusts to living a year of his life in prison.
Relive the scenes that occurred around him, and learn what it's
like in a moderate security prison from his point of view, and how
all the stories you've heard before about prison life are usually
distorted. Experience the wide range of emotions he felt as he
fought for his life, when his freedom was taken from him, and how
he was determined to stay above the mentality of those he was
surrounded by so that he could become a productive member of
society when the nightmare was over. Read this book with one thing
in mind - this could happen to you. He didn't think it could ever
happen to him

Sibert Honor author Deborah Hopkinson unearths the heroic stories
of Jewish survivors from different countries so that we may never
forget the past. As World War II raged, millions of young Jewish
people were caught up in the horrors of the Nazis' Final Solution.
Many readers know of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi state's genocidal
campaign against European Jews and others of so-called "inferior"
races. Yet so many of the individual stories remain buried in time.
Of those who endured the Holocaust, some were caught by the Nazis
and sent to concentration camps, some hid right under Hitler's
nose, some were separated from their parents, some chose to fight
back. Against all odds, some survived. They all have stories that
must be told. They all have stories we must keep safe in our
collective memory. In this thoroughly researched and passionately
written narrative nonfiction for upper middle-grade readers,
critically acclaimed author Deborah Hopkinson allows the voices of
Holocaust survivors to live on the page, recalling their
persecution, survival, and resistance. Focusing on testimonies from
across Germany, the Netherlands, France, and Poland, Hopkinson
paints a moving and diverse portrait of the Jewish youth experience
in Europe under the shadow of the Third Reich. With archival images
and myriad interviews, this compelling and beautifully told
addition to Holocaust history not only honors the courage of the
victims, but calls young readers to action -- by reminding them
that heroism begins with the ordinary, everyday feat of showing
compassion toward our fellow citizens.
In the late morning of May 29th 1953, the sun was shining brightly on the roof of the world, a gentle breeze was blowing and two men were there to witness it for the first time ever . Their names were Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay and the roof of the world was Everest.
This is the breathtaking story of how two very different yet equally determined men battled frost-biting temperatures, tumbling ice rocks, powerful winds and death-defying ridges to climb the world's highest mountain. Join these two unlikely heroes on the most amazing of adventures and discover the impact of hundreds of men and women that helped Hillary and Tenzing achieve their goal. But triumphs can be marred with tragedy as not everyone who climbs Everest survives ...
With a beautiful foreword by the greatest living explorer of our time, Sir Ranulph Fiennes, this brilliant book combines fresh and contemporary illustrations by Joe Todd-Stanton with Alexandra Stewart's captivating writing and publishes in time to celebrate the centenary of Edmund Hillary's birth. This unique narrative tells the story of how Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made their mark on the world from birth right up to their final days and the impact they've had on Nepal today.
