J. R. R. Tolkien va néixer el 3 de gener del 1892. A part de la seva llarga i distingida carrera acadèmica, és més conegut per les seves extraordinàries obres de ficció, com El hòbbit, El senyor dels anells i El Silmaríl·lion, a més d?altres narracions i assaigs. Els seus llibres s?han traduït a més de quaranta llengües i s?han venut milions d?exemplars arreu del món. Tolkien va morir el 1973 als 81 anys. Cada desembre els fills de J. R. R. Tolkien rebien un sobre amb un segell del Pol Nord. A dins hi havia una carta escrita a mà, amb una estranya lletra llarga i fina, i un dibuix preciós ple de colors o fet només amb quatre traços.Les cartes eren del Pare Noël.Els explicaven meravellosos contes sobre la vida al Pol Nord: com un dia que tots els rens es van escapar i van anar escampant els regals pertot arreu; com l?Ós Polar, un pocatraça, va escalar el Pol Nord, va caure sobre la teulada de cal Pare Noël i va anar a parar al menjador; com va partir la lluna en quatre i va fer que l?home que hi havia a dins caigués al jardí de darrere; o les guerres amb les empipadores hordes de gòblins, que vivien en unes coves que eren just sota de casa seva!A vegades és l?Ós Polar qui escriu quatre ratlles, i a vegades ho fa l?elf Ilbereth, amb la seva lletra elegant i fluida, per afegir més vida i humor a les narracions.Cap lector, jove o gran, no podrà deixar de sentir-se encantat per la inventiva i l?«autenticitat» de les Cartes del Pare Noël.

These signs shall follow those who believe... On the run from Social Services and others who do not understand their beliefs, Nathan and his mom, faith-healer Billie Ashbury move into yet another a new town. Nathan again faces the challenges of making new friends and of keeping his family's secrets. But what he really struggles with is his wavering faith and reconciling his actions with what his devoted mother has taught him from the cradle. Could disobeying her ever be right? His life could depend on the answer. "...engaging, keeps you guessing, a little creepy at times, good ending" "It was a great story and I enjoyed reading it. It may end up being one of many books I go back to in reading" "I have struggled with some of the same things as Nathan did, and it was like I was reading my own story"

We all have secrets. But at a certain point, they become too big to keep.  If you asked Ruby, she'd tell you she's happy with her life. She's tough and independent and doesn't depend on anyone else. The road that has led her here has not been easy, and she's blocked a lot of it from her memory.  But things aren't as rosy as she would have everyone believe, and the road ahead of her is filled not only with gangs, drugs, and depression, but other challenges that Ruby hasn't even imagined. Winner of "In The Margins" Top Ten Best Books for Teens Award 2015. Awarded to relevant books for our communities that validate, illuminate and humanize those living in the margins. Praise for Ruby You know it's a great book when you have to keep reminding yourself that the characters are not real people. I really cared about Ruby, and she gave me some bad moments. I desperately hoped her story would have a happy ending.  "Ruby" exposes the complex and brutal relationship between mental illness, poverty, and abuse ... a page turner I had to finish  "Ruby" really put me through the wringer and I actually had to put it down a few times because I needed to return to reality ... There was no chance I was going to stop reading until I knew how the story ended! ... I seriously can't wait for book two! The Between the Cracks books have been absolutely AMAZING! As soon as I started to read "Ruby", I just had to keep going.  I wish I could forget the book Ruby and read it all over again.  This book is utterly amazing, I find myself having more empathy for children in these types of situations than ever before. My heart seriously yearns for them. I can't put this book down.  Praise for P.D. Workman Every single one of [P.D. Workman's] books has spoken to me in ways no one or almost anything else has. And I have found strength in the books I've read. The way that P.D. Workman writes just flows amazingly and allows the reader to get really invested in a book.
