Watch Moving Windmills: The William Kamkwamba Story

Push

Performance poet Sapphire unflinchingly probes the consciousness of an all-too-real teenager from a severely abusive household...Written as an internal monolog and journal entries by Precious, with her rudimentary spelling skills and abrupt transitions, Push is compelling, graphic, and occasionally facile but disturbing and not soon forgotten. Library Journal 2/1/96.

This thought provoking book is sure to inspire discussion. Please contribute to our blog by commenting on this post.

Alternate Endings

Have you ever loved a book but been horribly disappointed in the ending? Now is the chance to propose a different ending. Does Gatsby dodge a bullet, turn a leaf and become a great philanthropist, throwing rock-star charity galas? Does Romeo and Juliet actually pull off their romantic conspiracy? - ug, hope not. Looking forward to your twists!
