Secrets are difficult to keep! I thought things were going pretty good in Ms. Kelly's class until she dropped a bombshell. She tells me out of nowhere that I, Joseph Mateo, "was too shy". Is it true? Of course it is, but it never has been a problem before! Turns out, I need to do a show-and-tell thing and that's supposed to solve everything. Was I worried? You bet I was, but I decided to make everyone happy and just do it. I captured an ant, put him in a bottle, and called it my ant farm. That's when something weird happened. That teeny-weeny ant grew to be human-sized! I found it hiding in the classroom closet. Did I panic? You bet I did, but I took care of it. I put some clothes on him, called him Saygar, and made him the new kid in Ms. Kelly's class. It's not easy keeping something that big a secret. Saygar sure did make things hard for me when he spit purple gum into Ruby's hair and did that throw-up in Marcie's face fiasco. The show-and-tell thing was the end of my quiet life and the beginning of a whole mess of trouble! REVIEW: "A fantastic plot fusion between E. T. and Dr. Seuss's "What Was I Scared Of?", Saygar the Magnificent by Elizabeth Jurado will warp you right back to your days in elementary school even as a full-grown adult. An easy to read story surrounding a strange week in the life of a 3rd-grade boy that people of all backgrounds, classes, and genders can easily relate to, Jurado's book stays true to the extreme highs and lows of raw emotionality throughout childhood development in a fictional yet down-to-earth tale, reminding us that guardian angels come in all forms, shapes, and sizes." - Erick Kusmirek

Letters between two young girls, one in London and the other in English settlements in Virginia, chronicle the events during the difficult early years at James Towne and Henricus and the role of Pocahontas in this period of history.

For more than six decades Elizabeth Taylor has been a part of our lives. Now acclaimed biographer J. Randy Taraborrelli looks past the tabloid version of Elizabeth's life and offers the first-ever fully realized portrait of this American icon. You'll meet her controlling mother who plotted her daughter's success from birth...see the qualities that catapulted Elizabeth to stardom in 1940s Hollywood...understand the psychological and emotional underpinnings behind the eight marriages...and, finally, rejoice in Elizabeth's most bravura performance of all: the new success in family, friendships, and philanthropy she achieved despite substance abuse and chronic illness. It's the story of the woman you thought you knew--and now can finally understand.

She looked into my eyes and blinked hers slowly and deliberately, like a stroke victim, to show me that although she couldn't speak, she understood what I was saying to her. I stroked her hair softly. 'I know you're in there, honey,' I told her. 'We'll get you out.'" Despite the horror of seeing fifteen-month-old Elizabeth slip away into autism, her mother knew that her bright little girl was still in there. When Elizabeth eventually learned to communicate, first by using a letterboard and later by typing, the poetry she wrote became proof of a glorious, life-affirming victory for this young girl and her family. I Am in Here is the spiritual journey of a mother and daughter who refuse to give up hope, who celebrate their victories, and who keep trying to move forward despite the obstacles. Although she cannot speak, Elizabeth writes poetry that shines a light on the inner world of autism and the world around us. That poetry and her mother's stirring storytelling combine in this inspirational book to proclaim that there is always a reason to take the next step forward--with hope.
