Discover the remarkable achievements of female mathematicians in
this fascinating book. Learn more about this STEM topic through
inspirational women such as Ada Lovelace, the Bletchley Park
code-breakers and Katherine Johnson, and find out how they overcame
prejudice and other obstacles to achieve scientific greatness.
The evidence is overwhelming: sports help girls grow into strong
women. Both scientific studies and anecdotal evidence confirm that
athletic girls not only grow up to be healthier; they learn
teamwork, gain inner confidence, and grow into society's leaders.
Sports help preteen and teenage girls make the right choices in a
society that is sending them incredibly mixed messages about who
they are supposed to be. Yet no one is speaking directly to these
girls. Jennie fills the role of girlfriend, big sister, team
captain, and mentor. A smart, credible, and accomplished voice from
an athlete who is strong and feminine, fiercely competitive, and
fashionably cool, Jennie is someone young women will listen to and
take to heart. Jennie's message: Believe in yourself. Go for it,
girls.

From sandy beaches to rocky cliffs, the place where the land meets the sea is an amazing habitat. While exploring at the shore or reading at home, children ages 7 and up will be astonished by the richness and variety of creatures at the waters edge. Beautifully illustrated, with a picture reference and glossary, Seashore is just one volume from the critically acclaimed One Small Square series of hands-on science books, now available in paperback.
This new adaptation of Dee Brown's multimillion-copy bestseller,
"Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee," is filled with photographs and
maps to bring alive the tragic saga of Native Americans for
middle-grade readers. Focusing on the Sioux nation as
representative of the entire Native American story, this
meticulously researched account allows the great chiefs and
warriors to speak for themselves about what happened to the Sioux
from 1860 to the Massacre of Wounded Knee in 1891. This dramatic
story is essential reading for every student of U.S. history.

November is Native American Heritage month
Osceola, Cochise, and Tecumseh are three Native American heroes who
fought valiantly for their land and for their people. This book is
divided into three parts--each part recounting the life of one of
these great heroes. Their true stories are emotionally gripping and
tragic, and Ann McGovern handles delicate topics, such as violence
and racism, expertly for young readers. The narrative text is
supplemented by black-and-white original source materials
throughout (i.e. photographs, maps, portraits, a newspaper
article).
