While he is waiting for her to arrive, there is plenty to keep him busy, including tap dancing lessons and the tryouts for a play about Peter Rabbit. Once again, Tomie dePaola takes us back to his childhood and shares the funny personal memories that make us all wish we could grow up at 26 Fairmount Avenue too. #3: On My Way Tomie is overjoyed because his baby sister, Maureen, is finally strong enough to come home from the hospital. Over the next months, he is in a dance recital and he gets to go to the World's Fair. Soon, the school year is at an end. Summer is full of fun things to do, like going to the beach and celebrating the Fourth of July—but Tomie can't wait for school to start again. He hopes he'll get Miss Kiniry, the first-grade teacher he likes the best. In first grade he will finally—finally—learn to read. And maybe even get a library card of his own! #4: What a Year! The year 1940 is a very big year for Tomie—it's the start of first grade, and it's his first birthday in the new house at 26 Fairmount Avenue. It's also the first year that Tomie gets to go trick-or-treating with his older brother, Buddy. Then the holidays arrive, and Tomie has a part in the Christmas play.

Como nadie lo reclama, su esposa y él se hacen cargo de la pequeña. Esta, al ir creciendo, se va haciendo cada vez más bonita y vivaracha. Tanto que acaba por cautivar a la señora Rushton, una viuda rica que decide adoptarla y llevarla por ahí como si fuera un trofeo, no un ser humano al que educar. Hetty crece así encaprichada y, a la vez, sola y descuidada, sin recibir educación alguna. Las cosas no hacen sino empeorar cuando la viuda fallece y el hermano de esta, el señor Enderby, la adopta y hace que reciba educación junto a sus hijas, para que un día pueda convertirse en institutriz y sea independiente. Pero Hetty no aprende y resulta ser un fiasco para la familia; lo único que hace bien es dibujar. Cuando parece que ya nadie se interesa en ella aparece una joven, Raine, que sorprende a todos por el gran parecido que tiene con Hetty. ¿Quién es esta joven? Y, sobre todo, ¿quién es la propia Hetty?

Edgmon Narrator: Kyla García, Suzy Jackson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 27 minutes Release date: December 3, 2024 Genres: Action & Adventure Publisher's Summary: ONE YEAR AGO, A SOLAR FLARE SCORCHED THE EARTH AND DESTROYED LIFE AS WE KNOW IT. With their parents gone and their supplies running low, grieving stepsiblings Millie and Rose leave home with their infant half-brother in search of Millie’s grandma, a Seminole elder—who Millie knows in her gut is still alive, even if Rose isn’t so sure. Along the way, they meet a group of other surviving kids calling themselves the Lost Boys and their lone adult leader, who reluctantly agree to help them brave the hostile wasteland to make it to Millie’s grandma safely. But the landscape isn’t the only threat—there’s also the Hive, a villainous group that has spent the last year hoarding supplies and living in luxury … and will do anything to keep it that way. Expertly balancing heartbreak and hope, The Flicker is both a thrilling survival story and a tender exploration of Indigenous ideas of identity and found family. “Bound up in a gripping page-turner, the soul of The Flicker is fierce, relentless love for chosen family, the natural world, and a humanity exploited almost to the point of extinction. With unblinking honesty, this story invites readers to hope, and hope tenaciously for a better way of living.”—ALDER VAN OTTERLOO, author of Cattywampus and The Beautiful Something Else
