Books with author Patricia Forde

This book is about the trouble your dog can get into if it isn't confined. If your dog is left loose all day while you are at work and when you return he is laying by your back door you assume he's been there all day. These stories will show you the different problems your dog can cause. I will, also, explain how your dog warden or animal control receives their money to service their county and pay their employees.

The city of Ark is no longer safe. Before the rebellion, everyone could only speak List, a language of just 500 words. But when Letta became the Wordsmith, the keeper of all the words that have ever existed, she learned that being able to express yourself is what makes you human. Now, the new ruler has wicked plans to eliminate language once and for all: if a baby never hears a single word, they will never speak.Letta and the other rebels must find a way to defeat evil for good before they lose the very thing that can set them free.Perfect for fans of The Giver and The City of Ember, this stunning follow-up to the ALA Notable book The List is sure to start discussions about censorship, freedom of speech, and the power of language.

In the post-apocalyptic, neo-medieval city of Ark, speech is constrained to five hundred sanctioned words. If somewhere were to speak outside that approved lexicon, they'd face banishment. The only exceptions to this rule are the Wordsmith and his apprentice, Letta. Together, they are the keepers and archivists of all language. But when Letta's master dies, she is suddenly promoted to Wordsmith and finds the situation more complicated than she knew. While fulfilling her charge to collect and save words, she uncovers a sinister plan to suppress language and to rob Ark's citizens of their power of speech. Soon, she realizes that it's now not only up to her to save Ark's language but also its entire culture...
