Ezekiel's homework assignment is quite simple: write an English composition, otherwise known as an essay, on the topic "The Day I Will Never Forget." There's only one problem: Ezekiel has no idea what to write. Why? Because the life of this 6 year old boy has been a series of very ordinary, forgettable days. But when his class teacher, the meticulous, rabbit-loving Miss Agbo announces that a prize will be awarded to the student with the best essay, the homework becomes a competition, which Ezekiel and his classmates are determined to win at all costs. As the deadline approaches, Ezekiel's life is visited by an array of dramatic episodes. Caught in the middle of all the drama is his teacher, Miss Agbo, who despite being a keen romantic has been unlucky in love. Will Ezekiel win? Will Miss Agbo finally find love? This heartwarming tale of primary school life in 1990s Nigeria is witty, nostalgic and unforgettable. This book is perfect for beginning readers, children who love reading funny chapter books and adults who enjoy reading African children's literature.

The Waves: [Complete & Illustrated]
The Waves: [Complete & Illustrated]
Virginia Woolf
¥28.04
The Waves, first published in 1931, is Virginia Woolf's most experimental novel. It consists of soliloquies spoken by the book's six characters: Bernard, Susan, Rhoda, Neville, Jinny, and Louis. Also important is Percival, the seventh character, though readers never hear him speak in his own voice. The soliloquies that span the characters' lives are broken up by nine brief third-person interludes detailing a coastal scene at varying stages in a day from sunrise to sunset.As the six characters or "voices" speak Woolf explores concepts of individuality, self and community. Each character is distinct, yet together they compose (as Ida Klitgard has put it) a gestalt about a silent central consciousness. The sun had not yet risen. The sea was indistinguishable from the sky, except that the sea was slightly creased as if a cloth had wrin-kles in it. Gradually as the sky whitened a dark line lay on the hori-zon dividing the sea from the sky and the grey cloth became barred with thick strokes moving, one after another, beneath the surface, following each other, pursuing each other, perpetually.   As they neared the shore each bar rose, heaped itself, broke and swept a thin veil of white water across the sand. The wave paused, and then drew out again, sighing like a sleeper whose breath comes and goes unconsciously. Gradually the dark bar on the horizon became clear as if the sediment in an old wine-bottle had sunk and left the glass green. Be-hind it, too, the sky cleared as if the white sediment there had sunk, or as if the arm of a woman couched beneath the horizon had raised a lamp and flat bars of white, green and yellow spread across the sky like the blades of a fan. Then she raised her lamp higher and the air seemed to become fibrous and to tear away from the green surface flickering and flaming in red and yellow fibres like the smoky fire that roars from a bonfire. Gradually the fibres of the burning bonfire were fused into one haze, one incandescence which lifted the weight of the woollen grey sky on top of it and turned it to a million atoms of soft blue. The surface of the sea slowly became transparent and lay rippling and sparkling until the dark stripes were almost rubbed out. Slowly the arm that held the lamp raised it higher and then higher until a broad flame became visible; an arc of fire burnt on the rim of the horizon, and all round it the sea blazed gold.

JR MacGregor
¥24.44
Deja de lado lo que estás leyendo en la web sobre Elon Musk. Hay una cantidad de información más significativa que no se limita a hablar solo sobre su genio y sus logros. Este libro expone la vida que tuvo antes de llegar a los Estados Unidos y mira al ni?o que se encuentra en su interior, quien se abrió camino por sí solo, y literalmente pasó por los fuegos del infierno antes de obtener las oportunidades que deseaba.No cayó en la riqueza y no trabajó dentro de la escalera corporativa, sino que Elon conformó cada parte de su vida que puedes ver hoy. Algunas de las historias que encontrarás en este libro te sorprenderán, asombrarán y cambiarán la forma en que consideras tus propios desafíos. De llegar a un nuevo país con pocos dólares y no conocer a nadie, trabajar en granjas y limpiar los animales, hasta trabajar en el fuego de un horno tóxico. Lee sobre el hombre que está a punto de hacer que este planeta sea un lugar más seguro para vivir.Elon Musk es una inspiración para una generación porque representa muchos de los valores que definen a los Millennials de hoy y a los de la Generación X. Desde PayPal hasta Tesla, la fuerza impulsora que construyó estos íconos de la imaginación fue el deseo de hacer del mundo un lugar mejor para todos: y nunca se trató sobre el dinero. Este libro te da una mirada y un análisis más profundo de un hombre que desafía el molde tradicional de lo que es ser industrial, emprendedor y triunfador.

En cierta manera, este libro es una extensión natural del trabajo que hacemos en “Se?or Dios, dirígenos”; pues esta es una colección de textos escritos de manera personal, íntima, y honesta acerca de Jesús, el crucificado. Entre quienes escribimos estas letras, hay estudiantes, prestadores de servicio social, graduados, voluntarios, músicos, misioneros, y empleados que tienen la fortuna de poder experimentar la vida de maneras muy distintas los unos de los otros.Algunos pertenecen al área de las ciencias exactas, otros a las ciencias sociales, y hasta de las ciencias de la salud. Además, somos de escuelas públicas, de escuelas privadas, y hasta de escuela en casa; y todavía más, vivimos en diferentes ciudades de México. En esta peque?a obra, podrás encontrar una increíble variedad de perspectivas y experiencias de vida que están siendo transformadas por una misma persona: Jesús, el crucificado. Además, este libro está compuesto por una colección interesante de tipos de textos... poemas, reflexiones, oraciones, canciones, y otros más. Con mucha emoción, cada uno de nosotros y nosotras quisiéramos invitarte, no sólo a encontrarte con el Maestro en las hojas de esta antología, sino a escribir tú mismo… a escribirle letras al crucificado. Soli Deo Gloria.

Edith Nesbit
¥8.09
Novel for children. According to Wikipedia: "Edith Nesbit (married name Edith Bland; 15 August 1858 – 4 May 1924) was an English author and poet whose children's works were published under the name of E. Nesbit. She wrote or collaborated on over 60 books of fiction for children, several of which have been adapted for film and television. She was also a political activist and co-founded the Fabian Society, a precursor to the modern Labour Party.... Nesbit published approximately 40 books for children, both novels and collections of stories. Collaborating with others, she published almost as many more. According to her biographer Julia Briggs, Nesbit was "the first modern writer for children": "(Nesbit) helped to reverse the great tradition of children's literature inaugurated by [Lewis] Carroll, [George] MacDonald and Kenneth Grahame, in turning away from their secondary worlds to the tough truths to be won from encounters with things-as-they-are, previously the province of adult novels." Briggs also credits Nesbit with having invented the children's adventure story. Among Nesbit's best-known books are The Story of the Treasure Seekers (1898) and The Wouldbegoods (1899), which both recount stories about the Bastables, a middle class family that has fallen on relatively hard times. Her children's writing also included numerous plays and collections of verse. She created an innovative body of work that combined realistic, contemporary children in real-world settings with magical objects and adventures and sometimes travel to fantastic worlds."

L. Frank Baum
¥8.09
According to Wikipedia: "The Twinkle Tales is a 1905 series by L. Frank Baum, published under the pen name Laura Bancroft. The six stories were issued in separate booklets by Baum's publisher Reilly & Britton, with illustrations by Maginel Wright Enright. In 1911, the six eight-chapter stories were collected as Twinkle and Chubbins; Their Astonishing Adventures in Nature-Fairyland — which is a misnomer, since Chubbins appears in only two stories and few are set in "Nature-Fairyland"... The series was a hit; Reilly & Britton sold 40,000 copies of the little books in a short time. Such commercial success justified a sequel: Baum took his Policeman Bluejay character from the Twinkle Tale "Bandit Jim Crow" and cast him in a separate novel, to be issued the following year."
