Summary

In this comprehensive look into Title: Subtitle by Author, you'll gain insight with this essential resource as a guide to aid your discussions. 

George Murdoch, commonly known as Tyrus, a dark-skinned performer, and political commentator, was born in 1973. Tyrus was bullied about the color of his skin, which made him violently protective of himself. After his parents divorced, Tyrus moved with his mother to California, where football predominated his high school and junior college years. His passion for wrestling propelled him to make several failed attempts at reinventing himself, including working as a club bouncer, a bodyguard for Snoop Dogg, and eventually signing contracts with World Wrestling Entertainment. Through a collection of spectacular, unforgettable experiences, the author recounts all of his adventures. Taking advantage of opportunities as they arose, Tyrus capitalized on his physically imposing presence; in 2006, he made his WWE debut as a street-thug superstar named "G-rilla." He gained enormous popularity in the ring and sustained a reputation for being a tough guy. The author shows his meaningful perspective on race throughout his early years through his early attempts to join the WWE, where remarks concerning his skin tone stuck out. However, Tyrus never skimps on the intimate details and outspoken thoughts that have made his time on Fox News so memorable. The memoir is supercharged with the kind of fire and passion fans of the wrestling star will relish—an insightful look at a multidimensional artist who defies discrimination.

    An eleven-year-old girl discovers the wonder of the natural world—and the drive to blaze her own trail—in this Newbery Honor Award–winning historical novel. 
     
    The summer of 1899 is hot in Calpurnia’s sleepy Texas town, and there aren’t a lot of good ways to stay cool. Her mother has a new wind machine from town, but Callie might just resort to stealthily cutting off her hair, one sneaky inch at a time. She’s also spending a lot of time at the river with her notoriously cantankerous grandfather, an avid naturalist. 
     
    It turns out that every drop of river water is teeming with life—all you have to do is look through a microscope! But as Callie and her grandfather are about to make an amazing discovery, she turns her inquisitive mind toward questions about her own life. Why should a girl living at the turn of the twentieth century do nothing more than cook, clean and sew? 
     
    “The most delightful historical novel for tweens in many, many years . . . Callie’s struggles to find a place in the world where she’ll be encouraged in the gawky joys of intellectual curiosity are fresh, funny, and poignant today.” —The New Yorker
