Cousin Suzella tries to pass for white, with humiliating consequences. And when Cassie's neighbour stands up for her right to vote she and her cousin are driven from their home. Cassie is realising what it means to grow up black and powerless, but her family stand together, proving that courage, love and understanding can defy even the deepest prejudices. |

«A hilarious retelling of the «Three Little Pigs» by Jon Scieszka. You may think you know the story of the «Three Little Pigs» and the «Big Bad Wolf» — but only one person knows the real story. And that person is A. Wolf. His tale starts with a birthday cake for his dear old granny, a bad head cold and a bad reputation. The rest (as they say) is history. A hilariously inventive retelling of the popular story which «Publishers Weekly» called the 'Funniest book of the year'. Jon Scieszka began to train as a doctor but left to take a course in fiction writing at Columbia University and to become a teacher. He lives in Brooklyn and spends his time writing and talking about books. Lane Smith, an acclaimed author/illustrator, has achieved major success in his collaborations with Jon Scieszka. He also provided the original concept and illustrations for the hit film «James and the Giant Peach». He lives in New York. Also by Jon Scieszka: «The True Story of the Three Little Pigs»; «The Frog Prince, Continued»; «The Stinky Cheese Man and other Fairly Stupid Tales»; «The Book that Jack Wrote»; «Math Curse»; «Squids will be Squids»; «Baloney»; «Science Verse»; «Seen Art?; «Cowboy and Octopus»; «Walt Disney's Alice in Wonderland»; «Robot Zot»; «Knights of the Kitchen Table»; «The Not-so-Jolly Roger»; «The Good, the Bad, and the Goofy»; «Your Mother was a Neanderthal»; «2095»; «Tut Tut»; «Summer Reading is Killing Me»; «It's all Greek to Me»; «See You Later, Gladiator»; «Sam Samurai»; «Hey Kid, Want to Buy a Bridge?»; «Viking it and Liking it»; «Me oh Maya»; «Da Wild, Da Crazy, Da Vinci»; and, «Marco Polo».» |
