"I had lain in my bed thinking of our visitor out in the bunk in
the barn. It scarce seemed possible that he was the same man I had
first seen, stern and chilling in his dark solitude, riding up our
road. Something in father, something not of words or of actions but
of the essential substance of the human spirit, had reached out and
spoken to him and he had replied to it and had unlocked a part of
himself to us. He was far off and unapproachable at times even when
he was right there with you." The Starrett family's life forever
changes when a man named Shane rides out of the great glowing West
and up to their farm in 1889. Young Bob Starrett is entranced by
this stoic stranger who brings a new energy to his family. Shane
stays on as a farmhand, but his past remains a mystery. Many folks
in their small Wyoming valley are suspicious of Shane, and make it
known that he is not welcome. But dangerous as Shane may seem, he
is a staunch friend to the Starretts--and when a powerful
neighboring rancher tries to drive them out of their homestead,
Shane becomes entangled in the deadly feud. This classic Western,
originally published in 1949, is a profoundly moving story of the
influence of a singular character on one boy's life.
As heard on Radio 4's Woman's Hour and BBC Breakfast TV
It is difficult trying to talk in our family cos:
a) Grandparents don't speak English at all
b) Mum hardly speaks any English
c) Me, Bonny and Simon hardly speak Chinese
d) Dad speaks Chinese and good English but doesn't like talking
In other words, we all have to cobble together tiny bits of English and
Chinese into a rubbish new language I call 'Chinglish'. It is very
awkward.
Jo Kwan is a teenager growing up in 1980s Coventry with her annoying
little sister, too-cool older brother, a series of very unlucky pets
and utterly bonkers parents. But unlike the other kids at her new
school or her posh cousins, Jo lives above her parents' Chinese
takeaway. And things can be tough whether it's unruly customers or the
snotty popular girls who bully Jo for being different. Even when she
does find a BFF who actually likes Jo for herself, she still has to
contend with her erratic dad's behaviour. All Jo dreams of is breaking
free and forging a career as an artist.
Told in diary entries and doodles, Jo's brilliantly funny observations
about life, family and char siu make for a searingly honest portrayal
of life on the other side of the takeaway counter.

*A 2019 Michael L. Printz Award Honor Book*
A dark, twisted, unforgettable fairy tale from Elana K. Arnold, author of the National Book Award finalist What Girls Are Made Of
The rite has existed for as long as anyone can remember: When the king dies, his son the prince must venture out into the gray lands, slay a fierce dragon, and rescue a damsel to be his bride. This is the way things have always been.
When Ama wakes in the arms of Prince Emory, she knows none of this. She has no memory of what came before she was captured by the dragon or what horrors she faced in its lair. She knows only this handsome young man, the story he tells of her rescue, and her destiny of sitting on a throne beside him. It's all like a dream, like something from a fairy tale.
As Ama follows Emory to the kingdom of Harding, however, she discovers that not all is as it seems. There is more to the legends of the dragons and the damsels than anyone knows, and the greatest threats may not be behind her, but around her, now, and closing in.
