Author Carol Crane has worked for twenty-five years reviewing, lecturing and enjoying children's literature. She is a respected national educational presenter, speaking at state and regional reading conventions across the United States. As a historian, Carol loves to read all historical markers. She is still stopping and reading them across Texas. Illustrator Alan Stacy is a self-taught artist, but his first practical art lessons came at age 6 from his mother, Jeanne, who is a fine artist. His father Fearl, an Air Force pilot and officer, took the family to Germany, Virginia, Alaska and New Mexico before settling in Texas in 1975. The time they spent outdoors siteseeing, camping and hiking in the American West and Pacific Northwest instilled within Alan a profound love of animals and nature, which is reflected in his art. With poems to engage younger readers and text to give further details for older students, "Lone Star" is a fantastic tool for sharing Texan pride with the ones you love. So lasso a copy of "L is for Lone Star" and get ready for a very special ride through the alphabet!
L. M. Montgomery's Emily of New Moon: A Children's Classic at 100 (Children's Literature Association Series)
by Yan Du and Joe Sutliff SandersContributions by Yoshiko Akamatsu, Carol L. Beran, Rita Bode, Lesley D. Clement, Allison McBain Hudson, Kate Lawson, Jessica Wen Hui Lim, Lindsey McMaster, E. Holly Pike, Katharine Slater, Margaret Steffler, and Anastasia Ulanowicz Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874–1942) was a Canadian author best known for writing the wildly popular Anne of Green Gables. At the time of its publication in 1908, it was an immediate bestseller and launched Montgomery to fame. Less known than the dreamy and accidentally mischievous Anne Shirley is Emily Byrd Starr, the title character in the trilogy that followed much later in Montgomery’s professional career, Emily of New Moon. Published in 1923, Emily of New Moon is the first in a series of novels about an orphan girl growing up on Prince Edward Island, a story that mirrors Anne’s but intentionally resists many of the defining qualities of Montgomery's most famous creation. Despite being overshadowed by the immense popularity of Anne of Green Gables, the Emily of New Moon trilogy has become a subject of endless fascination to fans and scholars around the world. The trilogy was conceived during an important phase in Montgomery’s career during which she turned from Anne and plunged into more intricate aspects of gender, adolescence, nature, and authorship. While the novels have attracted rich critical attention since their publication, book-length studies proved surprisingly scarce. L. M. Montgomery’s "Emily of New Moon": A Children’s Classic at 100 is the first scholarly volume exclusively dedicated to the trilogy, coalescing different research perspectives. It offers a fresh point of entrance into a well-loved classic at its one-hundredth anniversary.

La Bestia senza nessuna Bella
by Olga Kryuchkova Elena KryuchkovaStoria avvincente, non priva di umorismo, sulle avventure della ragazzina Arina in un mondo magico. L’intraprendente ragazza e una fata aprono un’agenzia matrimoniale per poter liberare un principe da un incantesimo Arina Solovyova finisce per sbaglio in un mondo magico e fa la conoscenza con la fata Miranda, che sta cercando di togliere l’incantesimo che ha colpito il suo figlioccio Henry (il suo volto è stato deformato da un sortilegio). Il principe può essere guarito solo dal bacio di vero amore. Unite le loro forze, Miranda e Arina organizzano l’agenzia “Matrimoni e Rose” e diffondono la sua pubblicità tramite uno specchio magico. All’agenzia accorrono non solo principesse di diverse casate, ma anche truffatrici. Nell’agenzia matrimoniale c’è molto movimento. Proprio in quel momento a Miranda viene sospesa la licenza di fata, che le permette di utilizzare la magia. La fata cerca di trovare il denaro e decide di mettere in atto un gesto avventato in seguito al quale il rubino del re cade in mano degli zwerg (gli gnomi gioiellieri delle montagne) e finisce poi nella collana della dea Freia. Re Richard, padre del principe Henry, non è affatto felice per quanto fatto da Miranda ma l’aiuta comunque a rinnovare la sua licenza e chiede alla fata di cercare anche per lui una moglie che sia un adeguato partito. Come pretendente al cuore del re al castello si presenta la fata Chloe. Presto si capisce che è proprio lei colei che, diciotto anni prima, in un impeto di rabbia aveva scagliato l’incantesimo contro il principe Henry...

La cara oculta de (l'arribada de l'home a) la Lluna
by Lewis York Roger OlmosAmb motiu del 40 aniversari de l'arribada de l'home a la lluna, Lumen visita el món llunàtic. Al final de la Segona Guerra Mundial (1945) les dues potències més poderoses de l'època, l'URSS i els EEUU, iniciaren el que s'anomenà la Guerra Freda. Una de les disputes més espectaculars fou la carrera de l'espai. Tant els comunistes com els capitalistes volien conquerir l'espai exterior, o si més no que ho semblés. L'URSS anava per davant amb els seus proyectes Sputnik, però els EEUU aconseguiren guanyar la partida més important: que un home trepitgés la Lluna. El 20 de juliol de 1969, a les 10:56 PM, Neil Amstrong posà un peu a la Lluna i davant una audiència televisiva de 600 milions de persones, sentencià: «Aquest és un petit pas per a l'home, però un salt gegantesc per a la Humanitat». Des d'aleshores, són moltes les veus que han dubtat de la proesa exposant una sèrie d'anomalies que surten a les imatges que es feren: ombres estranyes, reflexos, un firmament sense estrelles, un allunatge que no aixeca pols... Els autors d'aquest llibre han investigat el cas i han aconseguit parlar amb alguns testimonis (vinguts des del més recòndit de la seva imaginació) que podran oferir una mica de llum sobre tants enigmes... o no. Perquè, per molt que la Lluna giri, sempre manté una cara oculta. I, en aquest cas, resulta divertida, sorprenent i rigorosament incerta.
