Pop's Bridge by Eve Buntnmg, illustrated by C. F. Payne is an historical fiction picturebook look at the building of the Golden Gate Bridge through the eyes of young Robert whose father is a skywalker, one of the brave, high-climbing ironworkers. Robert's Pop is building it, and Robert is convinced that his pop has the most important job on the crew. Bunting tells this tale, based on real families, from the focus of Robert. Even though Robert's father gives equal credit to the bridge painters, Robert is convinced the steelworkers are the most important. An awful accident makes him realize that equal work and equal danger exist for all bridge workers. The two fathers are given half pieces of the final puzzle piece of the Golden Gate Bridge to complete the puzzle together, celebrating the completion of the bridge. The inclusion of a Chinese American worker in the story is an important historical detail. An author's note about the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge gives added context to the story. Payne's illustrations created in mixed media are beautiful, especially the panoramic shots of the bridge, and of the people of San Francisco. As someone who loves the city of San Francisco, I enjoyed the story, but agree with some other reviewers that there is less of an emotional connection than there could have been, and that the ending is slightly contrived. More details of the relationship between Robert and his father might have helped. This could be useful in schools with units about bridges, bridge building, California and San Francisco. For ages 8 to 13, bridge building, San Francisco, historical fiction, courage, team work themes, and fans of Eve Bunting and C. F. Payne.

Phép Lạ Cầu Vồng (Tiên Nữ Thời Tiết) - Tiên Nữ Chớp Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Daisy Meadows

Sebastian is bored at the ball and looking for some illicit excitement he’s heard about that takes place behind the scenes. However there is no card game, he quickly finds himself swept up in sex with a stranger. It’s difficult to say if Sebastian has ever considered an attraction to men, however he takes to this first experience with gusto and is quite happy to go along with it. Afterward he’s slightly freaked out and by chance runs into his temporary lover who appears to know who he is. The entire story takes place over a couple of hours, from Sebastian’s interlude with the stranger to a further interlude in the carriage after he leaves the ball. You don’t know much about Sebastian except that he finds the whole ball and the games people play there a bit of a bore. You know even less about Adam, the stranger, except that he has more experience than Sebastian. I did find the “coincidence” of how they met outside the ball a bit mystifying, but I suppose it’s one of those plot devices to give the two men further opportunity for a dalliance. The descriptions of the ball and the machinations of a young lady who uses the anonymity of a masked ball to push the limits was well described, and the irony was not lost on Sebastian who intends the same. When you are in the mood for an erotic piece set in another time with solid writing it’s a fast rewarding read. The sex is hot between the two men and seeing Sebastian go from a bit stunned about what’s happening to an eager participant is enjoyable.
