Books with title Autumn Leaves

Kayla Caruso is sixteen and, despite at one time being a popular cheerleader, she knows she doesn't feel the same about relationships as her classmates. She dated a boy once to fit in, but broke up with him because she wasn’t ready to have sex. Labeled “Ice Queen” by those who bully her, Kayla finds only a few friends willing to accept her. One of them is Althea Ritter, the school’s volleyball star, who’s rumored to be a lesbian. Kayla finds herself drawn to Althea. But Kayla’s confused. Are her feelings straight, bi, or gay? Or perhaps she’s not interested in sex with anyone, male or female. Kayla tries to work through these puzzling emotions, a task not so easy for a high school sophomore.

Take little ones on an active, rhyming jaunt of changing seasons and falling leaves in this poetic board book. Squirrels, foxes, and bunnies romp through the forest as the trees change from the green of summer to autumn colors and finally to the bare branches of early winter. Amber Hendricks' short expressive lines with repeated action words make this poem perfect for sharing with babies and toddlers, and Gavin Scott's warm, cozy illustrations encourage all ages to appreciate nature.

Excerpt from Autumn LeavesThe Blue Bird Cafe is a good place to pass the time, to your heart's delight, at a cup of coffee. Broken members of human society take advantage of this opportunity to get a peaceful nap, lulled to sleep by operatic music dispensed from a pianola. It is kind of a temporary haven of refuge for the homeless.Max retires into a corner, gives his order, sits under the gathering weight of a dire presentiment of impending evil, and he feels as if he were about to stand at parting cross-roads in his life. He looks about like for a refuge from his painful thoughts.The unknown stranger from the street-car enters, his sombre dress but emphasizing his weird impression. His whole atti tude, and his actions seem to be steeped in mystery. Rather above medium size, with sharply outlined features, Mr. Tannen baum, a jewish-poet. Their eyes meet, and the poet starts to move in the direction of Max, who becomes all eyes, unable to move.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
