Charm School
'I am NOT going to Charm School . . . ' But Bonny has no choice. Forced to spend a day at Charm School while her mother is on a course, Bonny makes some surprising and hilarious discoveries. Can Bonny cope with listening to Mrs Opalene's Helpful Handy Hits (like 'how to bleach your elbows'!)? And what about the other girls - the awful, self-obsessed little princesses who really want to win the 'Glistering Tiara' and are prepared to do almost anything to get it? After Bonny's day there, Charm School will never be the same again . . .
Anne's School Days
The third book in an early-reader series inspired by Anne of Green Gables, starring the spirited Anne Shirley as she navigates her first days of school and the incorrigible Gilbert Blythe. Anne loves autumn in Avonlea, and she's been enjoying her first three weeks of school. It helps that she walks to school with and sits next to her kindred spirit, Diana Barry. However, one day, Gilbert Blythe joins the class. According to Diana, he's very handsome, and smart too. However, Gilbert immediately gets on Anne’s nerves. When he pulls on Anne’s braid and calls her “Carrots” because of her red hair, enough is enough. How can Anne enjoy school when Gilbert is ruining everything? Anne vows never to talk to Gilbert again, and even stops going to school for a time when her teacher forces Anne to sit next to her rival. But later, when Anne has an accident on the pond and her wooden plank sinks, who should come to her rescue but her nemesis, Gilbert Blythe? Lovingly adapted by Kallie George with beautiful nostalgic illustrations by Abigail Halpin, this series is perfect for fans of Anne, new and old.
Sophie Scholl and the White Rose
A SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY EDITION TO COMMEMORATE 80 YEARS SINCE THE EXTRAORDINARY EVENTS OF 1943 Sophie Scholl and the White Rose tells the gripping true story of five Munich university students who set up an underground resistance movement in World War II. The thrilling story of their courage and defiance, brought to life in the Oscar-nominated film Sophie Scholl - The Final Days, is beautifully told in this special 80th anniversary edition of Annette Dumbach & Jud Newborn's critically acclaimed work. Acclaim for Sophie Scholl and the White Rose: 'The animated narrative reads like a suspense novel.' New York Times 'Powerful and compelling... Among the indispensable literature of modern political culture.' Hans-Wolf von Wietersheim, Das Parlament 'A dramatic story of courage during the darkest period of the 20th Century... And it's a story with new chapters unfolding. This book is a fundamental resource and a memorable read.' Toby Axelrod, author and reporter
School Work
This book examines teaching as a gendered occupation from the perspectives of contemporary women teachers (ascertained through interviews and participant observation in two schools), and historical teachers (whose views are constructed through diaries and letters archived in libraries). Equally important, the book examines meanings about teachers that circulate in the culture through fiction, biography, and talk. “Synthetic and well written, with a fine sense of historical and empirical detail and an equally fine sense of what is at stake politically and educationally in education today. The book is an important contribution to our understanding of gender relations in education.” —Michael W. Apple, The University of Wisconsin–Madison “This book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of the way conceptions of gender have shaped school practices.” —Kathleen Weiler, Tufts University “Biklen’s qualitative sources provide rich insights and her blend of sociology and history offers a fresh conceptual approach.” —History of Education Quarterly
