Daddy Takes Us Skating - A Heartwarming Tale of Family Fun on the Ice

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "Daddy Takes Us Skating," Howard Roger Garis crafts a charming narrative that captures the joy and innocence of childhood winter adventures. With vivid imagery and a whimsical tone, Garis invites readers into a world where simple pastimes, like ice-skating, become profound moments of family bonding and exploration. Set against the backdrop of a nostalgic American winter, the book effectively communicates themes of joy, togetherness, and the fleeting nature of youth, all while embodying the early 20th-century literary style that emphasizes sentiment and moral lessons. Garis'Äôs masterful use of dialogue and his keen observation of children'Äôs perspectives illuminate the magic found in everyday experiences. Howard Roger Garis, a prolific author known for his contributions to children'Äôs literature, often drew from his own upbringing and familial relationships, which profoundly shaped his writing. His ability to capture the essence of childhood experiences reflects not only his dedication to young readers but also his insights into the importance of family dynamics. Garis'Äôs life as a writer during the early 1900s, when family leisure activities were cherished, influenced the creation of this timeless tale. "Daddy Takes Us Skating" is a delightful read that appeals to both children and adults alike. Its rich narrative serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures that define our formative years. I highly recommend this heartfelt work to anyone seeking both literary enrichment and nostalgia, as it encourages readers to cherish their own memories of childhood joy and familial love.

Unsinkable Cayenne

Jessica Vitalis

2025 NCTE Notable Verse Novel
“Intensely readable.” —School Library Journal (starred review)
When her unconventional parents finally agree to settle down in one place, twelve-year-old Cayenne’s dreams come true—but the reality of fitting in is much harder than she imagined. Acclaimed author Jessica Vitalis crafts an unforgettable historical novel-in-verse about belonging, family, and social class, for fans of Lisa Fipps’s Starfish and Jasmine Warga’s Other Words for Home.
As Cayenne enters seventh grade, her parents decide it's time to stop living in their van, roaming from place to place. Cayenne hopes that this means she will finally belong somewhere and make some friends. But it turns out that staying in one place isn’t easy at all.
When her social studies class studies the Titanic tragedy (the wreckage has just been discovered and her teacher is obsessed), Cayenne sees more and more parallels between the social strata of the infamous ship and her own life. Will she ever squeeze her way into the popular girls’ clique, even though they live in fancy houses on the hill and she lives in a tiny, rundown home with chickens in the front yard? Is it possible that the boy she likes actually likes her back? Can she find a way to make room for herself in this town? Does she really want to? Maybe being “normal” isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Set in the mid-1980s, this literary novel is for readers of Megan E. Freeman’s Alone and Erin Entrada Kelly’s We Dream of Space.

Elvis and the World As It Stands

Lisa Frenkel Riddiough

Georgina watches me. She doesn’t try to poke me or pull my tail. She doesn’t push her face into mine, and she speaks very softly. “Welcome,” she says. 
 
Most shelter animals dream of going home with a forever family. But for Elvis, being chosen by Mrs. Pemberton is a nightmare. He’s been taken away from his sister, Etta, and is determined to get back to the shelter to find her. 
 
In spite of himself, Elvis becomes curious about ten-year-old Georgina Pemberton, who builds LEGO skyscrapers in her bedroom while navigating her parents’ divorce. The longer he’s in his new home, the more he starts recognizing new feelings: admiration for Georgina’s  
creations, affection for the other pets, and even empathy for the Pembertons—despite his longing for Etta. 
 
As Georgina sets out to build her most impressive skyscrapers yet, the Twin Towers, Elvis realizes that maybe both humans and animals have felt the pain of loss, but with some resilience and hope, we all possess the strength to rebuild. 
 
“Elvis’s journey is sweet and funny and profound.”—Eliot Schrefer, National Book Award finalist
