Morgy hates being the new kid in a new school in a new town in a new state. He wishes he were back in California. Here in Massachusetts he has to contend with Ferguson, who's older and seems to have singled out Morgy to pick on. Ferguson is even there when Morgy tries to learn how to play hockey, and he never misses a chance to dump Morgy on the ice. And hockey becomes even more humiliating when Morgy is demoted from the ten-and-unders to the seven-and-unders, where he's the oldest kid on the team.Each day brings more things to get used to, from weird Boston accents to surviving the blizzard of the century. Gradually, though, Morgy begins to figure out life in Puckett Corner and learns that he just might fit in after all.

There's little that compares in childhood to the dramatic changes that are brought about when a child loses their first tooth. Nothing else is so readily apparent to everyone that the child has gone through a milestone that marks their growth and development into an "elementary-schooler." This time is surrounded with such excitement and anticipation, yet it is often the child's first experience with loss, a change in their physical appearance that will never be the same. That change is in their smile. Truman's Loose Tooth captures the pride, uncertainty, worry and excitement of this rite of passage into childhood through many laughs and heartwarming experiences. The story helps children to adjust to this change in their life and serves as a great stepping stone for coping with changes as a lifelong process. Your child will enjoy reading this book over and over, and you will, too!

Emma's known all along that girls are better than boys, and the fifth-grade science fair gives her the opportunity to prove it. With the help of her best friend, Louise, she begins work on the most talked-about science project since Louise's brother created a solar eclipse in the school gym. But Emma soon discovers that knowing the truth is one thing and proving it scientifically is something else. Her project divides the school, girls against boys, and Emma and Louise find themselves at the center of the controversy. Worst of all, the facts don't appear to be as clear-cut as she thought. Emma has to decide whether to forge an alliance with the boys to ease the tension at school. Then she realizes that despite her talk about the superiority of girls, she's been underestimating her best friend's intelligence. Only by overcoming her own narrow-mindedness can Emma win the science fair and make it through fifth grade.Reminiscent of Jane Austen's Emma, The Boy Trap recounts the humorous adventures of a witty, charming, and likable girl who is forced to confront the folly of her own arrogance.

In this fantastic adventure, a young princess just learning to play the piano must use her knowledge and the help of her new fairy friend to find her stolen piano. Without the music it provides, her kingdom could erupt into chaos. The only clue she has is a strange note from her frightening old piano tutor to find the piano and save the day. For ages 4 to 8.

For want of a screw, the doorknob was lost; for want of a knob, the door was lost…and, from there, comic chaos builds in a series of hilarious steps! Linda Ashman (Stella, Unleashed) serves up a heaping helping of humorous fun as one big, happy family bands together to handle a series of household calamities—and save their beloved home. Narrated in catchy, beguiling verse, and featuring panoramic art that captures fun-filled action all around the house, this is the perfect story for every child who feels there’s no place like home.

New England Historical and Genealogical Kegister, for A pril, 1863, written by JOHN WARI DEAN, Esq., of Boston: A century ago no poetry was more popular in New England than Wigglesworth s Day of Doom. Francis Jenks, Esq., in an article in the Christian Examiner for Nov., 1828, speaks of it as a work which was taught our fathers with their catechisms, and which many an aged person with whom we are acquainted can still re peat, though they may not have met with a copy since they were in leading strings ;a work that was hawked about the country, printed on sheets like common ballads ;and, in fine, a work which fairly represents the prevailing theology of New England at the time it was written, and which Mather thought might, perhaps, find our children till the Day itself arrives. The popularity of Wigglesworth dated from the appearance of his poem, and continued for more than a cen tury. Expressing in earnest words the theology which they believed, and picturing in lively colors the terrors of the judgment day and the awful wrath of an offended God, it commended itself to those zealous Puritans, who had little taste for lofty rhyme or literary excellence. The imaginative youth devoured its horrors with avidity, and shuddered at its fierce denunciation of sin.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
