For Grades 3-6
In this sequel to I Was a Sixth Grade Alien (Minstrel, 1999), Pleskit just wants to fit in with his friend Tim and the other kids in Ms. Weintraub's sixth-grade class-not an easy task for a purple-skinned visitor from Planet Hevi-Hevi. First, there's the bewildering Earthling lingo where words like "cool" don't always refer to temperature. Then, there's Ms. Buttsman, the earth-protocol officer who has rigid ideas about proper alien behavior. Worst of all, the class bully makes Pleskit and Tim his prime targets. In self-defense, they "borrow" a Molecule Compactor from the alien's dad, planning to shrink Jordan down to size. Unfortunately, when the machine fires, Tim and Ms. Weintraub are in the way, and are shrunk to matchbox size-just as an interplanetary terrorist takes the rest of the class hostage. In a clever combination of alien geometry and human gymnastics, Pleskit and the tiny pair defeat the terrorist, save the class, and get even with Jordan at the same time. The broad humor is aimed squarely at middle-grade readers-complete with body noises, wordplay, and weird alien foods and customs. This lighthearted science-fiction entry manages to make some telling points about individuality and the value of accepting people for themselves.
When Killashandra Ree joined the mysterious Heptite Guild, she knew that she would be forever changed. Crystal singing brought ecstasy and pain, near-eternal life...and gradual loss of memory. What she hadn't counted on was the loneliness she felt when her heart still remembered what her mind had forgotten. Fortunately, someone still cared enough to try to salvage what was left of Killashandra's mind. But she would have to learn to open herself--to another person, and to all her unpleasant memories.
With new research and previously unavailable interviews, The Last Campaign provides an intimate and absorbing historical narrative that goes right to the heart of America's deepest despairs and most fiercely held dreams and tells us more than we had understood before about this complicated man and the heightened dramas of his times.
After John F. Kennedy's assassination, Robert Kennedy formerly Jack's no-holds-barred political warrior almost lost hope. He was haunted by his brother's murder, and by the nation's seeming inabilities to solve its problems of race, poverty, and the war in Vietnam. Bobby sensed the country's pain, and when he announced that he was running for president, the country united behind his hopes. Over the action-packed eighty-two days of his campaign, Americans were inspired by Kennedy's promise to lead them toward a better time. And after an assassin's bullet stopped this last great stirring public figure of the 1960s, crowds lined up along the country's railroad tracks to say goodbye to Bobby.
Clarke's The Last Campaign is the definitive account of Robert Kennedy's exhilarating and tragic 1968 campaign for president and a revelatory history that is especially resonant now.
