  • A Mediator Novel
    #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR MEG CABOT REMEMBRANCE A MEDIATOR NOVEL USA Today “A fabulous author.” — MEG CABOT remembrance A MEDIATOR NOVEL WILLIAM MORROW An Imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers Remembrance_9780062379023_1P_dix33095.indd 3 9/25/15 12:38 PM Dear Reader, I’m sure you’ve seen lots of movies and TV series and maybe even reality shows about people with the same ability as my heroine, Suze Simon: so-called “mediators” who can communicate with the dead, helping them resolve whatever issues they’ve left behind in this world, so they can cross over to the next. But the “reality” of Suze’s gift isn’t at all the way they portray it in the movies or on TV. That’s because—though she’s kept notes on her cases for some time—Suze hasn’t shared them, since doing so might risk someone’s physical or emotional safety. That’s why only a few of her closest family and friends (and now you) are aware of her secret. But don’t worry if you missed any of Suze’s previous “progress reports.” After all, they took place in high school. And who wants to relive high school? Except that it was in high school when Suze first encountered the love of her life, Jesse de Silva. It took a miracle to bring them together, and they’ve sworn that nothing will ever tear them apart. Or will it? If there’s one thing I’ve learned since high school, it’s that life is full of miracles . and secrets.

  • Short Story Originally Appeared in the Anthology “Girls Night Out,” Edited by Sarah Mlynowski and Published by Red Dress Ink in 2006
    Reunion Reunion By Meg Cabot This short story originally appeared in the anthology “Girls Night Out,” edited by Sarah Mlynowski and published by Red Dress Ink in 2006. Other contributors included Emily Giffin, Marian Keyes, Cecelia Ahern, and Kristin Gore. All author proceeds from the collection went to War Child. The book is now out of print, and rights to the stories have since reverted back to the authors. I’m happy to offer this unedited version of mine, “Reunion,” for my readers to enjoy for free. This short story is part of the New York Journal “Boy Series,” Boy Next Door, Boy Meets Girl, and Every Boy’s Got One, and is told exclusively in emails. 2 Reunion To: All Sent: April 25, 2005 11:45AM Fr: Scooter Potts <[email protected]> Re: Bloomville High School Class of ‘95 Reunion Bloomville High School Class of 1995 10 Year Reunion Hey, fellow Panthers! Guess what time it is? That’s right: Our ten-year high school reunion! Can you believe it’s been ten years since we graduated? Though I still see some of you regularly (remember, there’s a 10% discount for BHS grads here at Bloomville Motors), it will be great to catch up with those of you who left Indiana for such far flung places as New York City (Jo Buchanon’s mom says that Jo’s band, the Raving Lunatics, got a real positive review in The Village Voice for their first ever gig at the Wa Wa Hut)! So put in that vacation request today, and start planning on an exciting weekend of fun connecting with your fellow classmates!

  • Hemingwaytg 2014.Indd
    Examining an author’s life can inform and expand the reader’s understanding of a novel. Biographical criticism is the practice of analyzing a literary work through the lens of an author’s experience. In this lesson, explore the author’s life to understand the novel more fully. 1 Ernest Hemingway grew up in Oak Park, Illinois, one of six children. In Lesson One 1917, the year President Wilson declared war on Germany, Hemingway graduated from high school. Instead of going to college, he became a FOCUS: reporter for a small newspaper. As a journalist, Hemingway learned to write concisely, using active verbs and brief, clear paragraphs. Many young Biography men were entering the military, but Hemingway’s vision did not meet military standards. Instead, he applied to the Red Cross as an ambulance driver and, in 1918, found himself in France and then in Italy. A Farewell to Arms, published in 1929, draws on the details of his wartime injury, his friendships, and his love affairs. ?? Discussion Activities Listen to The Big Read Audio Guide. Students should take notes as they listen. Ask them to present the three most important points they learned from the Audio Guide. Distribute Reader’s Guide essays, “Introduction to the Novel,” “Ernest Hemingway, 1899- 1961,” and “Hemingway and World War I.” Divide the class into groups. Assign one essay to each group. After reading and discussing the essays, groups will present what they have learned to the class. Ask students to add creative twists to make their presentations memorable. ?? Writing Exercise Have students read Chapter I.
