The Adventures Of Joel Pepper By Margaret Sidney Views: 602
Tiny Seacrow Island is one of hundreds of islands in the sparkling blue of the Baltic Sea. Though small, it has everything you’d want in an island: woods to wander in, flowers to pick, fish to catch, boats to sail in, all kinds of animals. But it doesn’t have very many young people. So when the four Melkerson kids and their father move into Carpenter’s Cottage one June day, they’re immediately welcomed by the resourceful islanders: Johan and Niklas Melkerson, at twelve and thirteen, are natural companions for adventurous Freddy and Teddy (girls exactly their age); dreamy Pelle, the baby of the family, gets up to trouble with bossy Tjorven and fanciful Stina; and ever-responsible Malin, who at nineteen looks after her scatterbrained father as well as her brothers, catches the eye of all the island’s young men. Before long Seacrow Island and Carpenter’s Cottage (tumbledown and leaky though it may be) have become a real home for the Melkersons.
Seacrow Island is a remarkable story, filled with sweetness and sorrow, humor and suspense, and peopled with the vivid, unexpected, wonderfully winning characters we’ve come to expect from the creator of the unforgettable Pippi Longstocking. Views: 601
Marion is having a terrible day. A homeless boy stuck inside the artificial, multi-leveled confines of greater NYC, he does the one thing he knows not to do: sleeps late. Fleeing the rush hour panic he collides with Allison Rayel, a disaffected government temp, and together they embark on a journey that leads them to the highest levels of the Build, where history has been piled up and forgotten.Marion is having a truly terrible day. A homeless boy stuck inside the sealed confines of Greater New York City, he made the one mistake that he swore he would never make: he slept late. And with that single misstep his life is forever upended. Caught in the crush of rush hour subway traffic, Marion is launched upon a journey that will carry him from the streets of Manhattan to the highest reaches of the Build.From the lowest rung of New York’s multilevel edifice, Marion is pushed inexorably toward the unseen surface, thousands of meters overhead. Driven by forces seemingly beyond his control, he becomes embroiled in a growing riot, and soon finds himself thrown together with a beautiful, beguiling stranger named Allison Rayel. A GNYC native and perpetually disgruntled government contractor, Allison slams into Marion at the riot site, and finds her life unexpectedly intertwined with his. They are brought together to Corrections, where minor offenders are dispatched to the Garden, source of the city’s produce, and everyone else is incarcerated, sealed off in solitary confinement units that rarely see the artificial light of day.Following an unplanned (and wholly improvised) prison break, Marion and Allison move ever higher, riding atop a swift-moving Lift to reach the meticulously recreated Hamptons, where the fugitives are temporarily sheltered by Bernard Moody, a kindly minister who had befriended Marion in the city. Soon enough, however, the pair’s temporary respite ends, as Bernard’s brother Ian, a wealthy financier, begins to suspect their true identities.From that moment on, Marion and Allison have little choice but to run. Pursued by Ian Moody, a phalanx of corrections officers, and a powerful state government fixer named Vance Devereaux, they slowly advance from level to level, scaling heights — and discovering secrets — that few ever knew existed.With each stumbling step upward, the unlikely couple grow ever closer, their emotional connection forged in an escalating series of deadly challenges. Striving to escape, yet knowing full well that the world outside the Build is filled with merciless Brightlanders, Marion and Allison move toward the surface with both excitement and trepidation, unsure of what they might find. What they find, ultimately, is both nothing and everything — the mysterious wisps of an entirely different life. Views: 601

So I gues this makes me an official SMS student—I'm writing my autobiography just like every other eight-grader here. This hasn't been easy. It's a big job, plus it's very emotional for me. Looking through all the family photos has made me remember some pretty difficult times. My family has been through a lot, but it hasn't all been bad. There was the period when my sister and I had to be color-coded so people could tell us apart! And then there was the crazy move to Stoneybrook, and my unforgettable first meeting with Kristy Thomas. So now here I am, a stoneybrookite, working on my first major school project. I sincerely hope I don't blow it. Views: 601
