Summary

The powerful and heart-wrenching new novel from Lisa Heathfield, award-winning author of Seed and Paper Butterflies. Perfect for fans of Sarah Crossan, Louise O'Neill and Lisa Williamson. 
 
Ever since the Traditional party came into power, 15-year-old Ruby’s life has changed for the worse. Everything Ruby and her family and friends celebrate – equal rights for women, freedom of movement, individual expression – are forbidden. And things are getting worse . . . 
 
Soon Ruby and her family find themselves taken to a prison camp far from home with no possessions, food or rights. Each person is allocated a number – Ruby is number 276. Forced into hard labour, starving and with friends and family going missing every day, Ruby knows she has to escape and let the world know what is happening. She has to somehow cling on to her identity, and fight back. The future depends on it.

    Moo’s simple wish is for “a nice pair of thumbs." It’s her longing that leads the cow girls to dress up and dance at the farmer’s party. When they’re mistaken for the farmer’s twin sisters from California, the bovine buddies realize it’s time to hoof it right out of the party! In Minnie and Moo Go to Paris, the two wayward cows are convinced that they are in Paris when they take a bus on a crazy journey that includes passing an electrical tower (the Eiffel Tower?) and then pick up a busload of animal friends to continue on their international adventure. As always, the slapstick humor and endearing characters meld into an appealing story of friendship and fun.

    Welcome dear Listener! We are glad to have you join us for Root & Twig Sounds classic novel experience of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, told with the power of a soundscape audiobook production. 
    Experience the wonder of the classic tales of Mowgli, the boy raised by wolves in the jungles of India, as well as the unforgettable characters of Shere-Khan, Baloo, Bagheera and Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. The Jungle Book was written by Rudyard Kipling as an anthology of seven stories featuring a variety of animals and their relationship to mankind. Originally published in 1894, it is our distinct pleasure to present to you a new way to experience the story - a 'soundscape audiobook'. A word-for-word production, this is not merely an ‘adaptation’ or ‘radio drama'. This is a way to experience the story as if you are within the very pages of the tale.

    "Adler, a prolific children's book author, has done a good job describing the trajectory of Douglass's life as he moved from being a slave himself to being a freer of slaves and a tireless civil rights activist.  Narrator Charles Turner, who has a deep and resonant voice, uses just the right matter-of-fact yet serious tones that won't overwhelm young listeners but will make an impression on them."-AudioFile
