that she earned her spot on the team?
In the late summer and early autumn of 1938, ten-year-old Ruth
Block, along with her father, mother and best friend, Miriam, must
navigate the increasing pressure placed on the Jewish population in
Frankfurt, Germany. Ruth grows more worried by the day. Her
father's stationery store is shut down; she and Miriam are mocked
in the street; their school is closed. Then one night in November,
the family's flat is broken into. Ruth's father is dragged into the
square and arrested, along with hundreds of other Jewish men. Ruth,
her family, her friends and her community struggle to survive the
fiery night and the terrifying, uncertain future ahead of them.
Featuring non-fiction support material, a glossary and reader
response questions, this story takes readers to Kristallnacht, the
Night of Broken Glass, one of history's most important moments.

An oil spill in the ocean means destruction for both animals and
their habitats - and lots of work for Seaside Sanctuary, where Elsa
Roth's parents work. When pelicans are gravely hurt in the spill
and brought into the sanctuary, Elsa and her friends are given
important roles in caring for the birds. But the animals can't be
released until their habitat is clean - and the company responsible
for the spill doesn't seem interested in stepping up. Can Elsa and
her friends spearhead the clean-up and save the pelicans?
