New Boy in Dublin: A Story of Ireland
by Clyde Robert Bulla[from the book jacket] Coady's family was delighted when Cousin Michael, with his city clothes and manners, came for a visit. They sat round the cottage fireplace and listened for hours to wonderful stories about Dublin and about the fine hotel where Michael worked. But when the family heard the reason for his visit -to take Coady to Dublin to work in the hotel with him -Mum and Dad weren't sure they were really glad that Cousin Michael had come at all. Coady didn't know if he would like city life, but he knew at once that he wanted to go. In Dublin he might be able to earn enough money to buy a new gold ring for Mum. He had promised himself he would do that. Nothing in Dublin was the way Coady thought it would be. It was always raining. The old streets were wet and gray. Work was tiring, and Cousin Michael never even had the time to take him to Dublin's famous castle. Worst of all, it seemed that Coady would never be able to earn enough money to buy Mum's ring. But Coady learns that the sun can shine in Dublin. In New Boy in Dublin, Clyde Robert Bulla has written a warm, poignant story that perfectly captures the spirit and atmosphere of Ireland.

None is prepared for the social or riding rigors, and they all doubt they will fit in -- certainly not if queen bee Lynsey and her clique have any say. But if this unlikely fivesome can band together, they may prove themselves the true stars of Chestnut Hill.

A New Creature
by Cheyenne NixonA boy&’s father goes to tuck his son in at bed time and before they say their prayers asks if Jesus lives in his heart. The boy says no, and his father begins to tell him about the sinner&’s prayer and explains who Jesus is. &“When He lives in you, you become a new creature&”, the father says to his son. This is derived from the scripture II Corinthians 5:17, &“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.&” The boy hears all about how Jesus Christ makes us new and accepts Him into his heart. He gets up the next morning and looks in the mirror to see if he has changed. The boy goes on a journey discovering his new life in Christ by going to church, praying, studying the bible, witnessing to friends and drawing pictures about bible stories. A problem comes to test him when he is approached by a bully in school and pushed down to the floor. His immediate reaction is to get up and hit his schoolmate, but the Holy Spirit speaks to him and tells him not to. Discouraged, our protagonist walks home and tells his mother what happened, and she encourages him that he did the right thing. As the child goes on a bike ride, he thinks about his actions and asked the Lord to forgive him for getting upset. He then spots the bully who begins to laugh and taunt him. The boy decides to approach the bully with kindness and tell him hello and forgives him of his actions. This causes the schoolmate to think about what he did and says sorry to the boy. As they make up, the boy invites his new friend in for a piece of cake. The boy now understands that becoming a new creature isn&’t an overnight outward change, but a process of developing a relationship with Christ who has the ability to change our hearts and minds.

New Directions in Children's Gothic: Debatable Lands (Children's Literature and Culture)
by Anna JacksonChildren’s literature today is dominated by the gothic mode, and it is in children’s gothic fictions that we find the implications of cultural change most radically questioned and explored. This collection of essays looks at what is happening in the children’s Gothic now when traditional monsters have become the heroes, when new monsters have come into play, when globalisation brings Harry Potter into China and yaoguai into the children’s Gothic, and when childhood itself and children’s literature as a genre can no longer be thought of as an uncontested space apart from the debates and power struggles of an adult domain. We look in detail at series such as The Mortal Instruments, Twilight, Chaos Walking, The Power of Five, Skulduggery Pleasant, and Cirque du Freak; at novels about witches and novels about changelings; at the Gothic in China, Japan and Oceania; and at authors including Celia Rees, Frances Hardinge, Alan Garner and Laini Taylor amongst many others. At a time when the energies and anxieties of children’s novels can barely be contained anymore within the genre of children’s literature, spilling over into YA and adult literature, we need to pay attention. Weird things are happening and they matter.
New Directions in Picturebook Research (Children's Literature And Culture Ser. #70)
by Teresa ColomerIn this new collection, children’s literature scholars from twelve different countries contribute to the ongoing debate on the importance of picturebook research, focusing on aesthetic and cognitive aspects of picture books. Contributors take interdisciplinary approaches that integrate different disciplines such as literary studies, art history, linguistics, narratology, cognitive psychology, sociology, memory studies, and picture theory. Topics discussed include intervisuality, twist endings, autobiographical narration, and metaliterary awareness in picturebooks. The essays also examine the narrative challenges of first-person narratives, ellipsis, and frame-breaking in order to consider the importance of mindscape as a new paradigm in picturebook research. Tying picturebook studies to studies in childhood, multimodality, and literacy, this anthology is a representative of the different opportunities for research in this emerging field.
