39 Clues’ Wave by Sally Lodge – 9/22/2010
David Baldacci on Author Roster for Second ‘39 Clues’ Wave By Sally Lodge – 9/22/2010 The powerful Cahill family will be pitted against a ruthless cabal in Scholastic’s follow-up to its multimedia franchise, The 39 Clues. The new series, The 39 Clues: Cahills vs. Vespers, launches in April 2011 with Vespers Rising by Rick Riordan, Peter Lerangis, Gordon Korman, and Jude Watson, and will wrap up in March 2013 with a seventh installment penned by bestselling thriller author David Baldacci. Vespers Rising has an announced first printing of 500,000 copies. Continuing the multi-platform concept, the second part of the series will entail collectible cards and an online game and will include enhanced interactive features on the series’ Web site. The 39 Clues model has obviously clicked with young readers: there are more than 8.5 million copies of the original 10-book series in print, the series has been licensed for publication in 24 languages, and the Web site has more than 1.2 million registered users to date. Asked about the incentive for creating part deux, David Levithan, v-p and editorial director of Scholastic Press and multi-media publishing, has a simple answer: “The kids wanted it.” He notes that the 10th book, Margaret Peterson Haddix’s Into the Gauntlet, which pubbed in August, “was our best launch yet. And when that book came out, the first installment, The Maze of Bones by Rick Riordan, was still among the top 10 titles on BookScan’s children’s list. The 39 Clues has engaged both readers and gamers and has created a world that kids don’t want to leave and that new kids are discovering all the time.” Rachel Griffiths, senior editor of Scholastic Press and editor of The 39 Clues, says that the 2.0 version immerses readers into the series’ action more extensively than before. -
Talking Animals and the Internationalist Liberal Imagination: the Case of E
Juridiskstockholm - uppsala Publikation - lund - göteborg - umeå Mark S. Weiner Talking Animals and the Internationalist Liberal Imagination: The Case of E. B. White Särtryck ur häfte 1/2019 Nummer 1/2019 JURIDISK PUBLIKATION 1/2019 TALKING ANIMALS AND THE INTERNATIONALIST LIBERAL IMAGINATION: THE CASE OF E. B. WHITE By Mark S. Weiner 1 This essay considers the significance of the literary representation of talking animals for the legal ideals of midcentury liberal internationalism. Its purpose is to contri bute to the cultural history of international law. It does so by reflecting on the conceptual and aesthetic links between the American author E. B. White’s classic children’s stories Stuart Little (1945) and Charlotte’s Web (1952) and his ana lysis of: 1) the rules of English prose, in the treatise The Elements of Style (1959), and 2) the establishment of the United Nations, about which he wrote extensively. The method of the essay is that of literary analysis, which examines an author’s use of and approach to language. In White’s view, good English style and sustain able international order both depended on the creation of “hard” rules enforceable, respectively, through critical literary judgment and global legal institutions. White’s contemporaneous depiction of anthropomorphic animal speech invites readers to imagine a humankind that has transcended the particularity of nationalism—a global civilization to be forged through the application of critical reading practices within a rulesbased international order. 1.

Purchasing Priority List
What Series Do We Have? These are the series that we have in the Middle School Lounge. This list also identifies which books are in the Elizabeth Library and Griffith Library to make it easier to send students. Here is how that information is displayed on the boxes for the books (link). Right now, the series in the MS Lounge are mainly Mystery, Horror, and Fantasy. What Should We Buy? Often, we have one or more books but not the whole series. I have made this list to help figure out (when it’s that time of year for purchasing novels) which ones we might want to order / find at a bookstore to complete a given series and get the most bang for our buck. What Should We Buy in the Future? We haven’t started to tackle the Realistic Fiction, Historical Fiction, Non-Fiction, or Graphic Novel series in the same way. That would be a good next step for the future. What Do You Need to Know? 1.
