full of information about going up from primary to secondary school
and covers all of the most common worries and anxieties. With

A true story from Raina Telgemeier, the #1 New York Times
bestselling, multiple Eisner Award-winning author of Smile,
Sisters, Drama, and Ghosts! Raina wakes up one night with a
terrible upset stomach. Her mom has one, too, so it's probably just
a bug. Raina eventually returns to school, where she's dealing with
the usual highs and lows: friends, not-friends, and classmates who
think the school year is just one long gross-out session. It soon
becomes clear that Raina's tummy trouble isn't going away... and it
coincides with her worries about food, school, and changing
friendships. What's going on?Raina Telgemeier once again brings us
a thoughtful, charming, and funny true story about growing up and
gathering the courage to face -- and conquer -- her fears.
Brit Speak for Yanks! Back in 1887, Oscar Wilde wrote, "We have
really everything in common with America nowadays, except, of
course, language." One would think, in a world homogenized by
technology and social media, that differences between British
English and American English would gradually disappear. Ask any
recent traveler, though, and you'll learn that plenty of linguistic
idiosyncrasies persist, and new ones emerge all the time. Folks on
both sides of the pond may be in closer touch than ever before, but
we are still, as George Bernard Shaw purportedly noted, "two
nations divided by a common language." Blimey, I'm Knackered! is
the perfect companion for anyone desiring to bridge the gap between
US and UK English or who simply enjoys the evolution of language
and culture. American scholar and longtime UK resident Marshall
Hall has organized his insightful definitions and explanations of
British idioms, colloquialisms, abbreviations, acronyms, and slang
into nineteen entertaining and revealing chapters covering
everything from transportation and food to politics, education, and
wardrobe. Making the book truly comprehensive are sections on
pejoratives and "naughty bits." Hall's often amusing explanations
make the book an engaging read for language lovers and travelers
alike. Charming pen-and-ink illustrations by Mark Cowie add whimsy
and humor to this entertaining, useful, and unique compendium. No
American need ever be befuddled again!
Not sure how to teach a student who speaks only a little English or
