In each of these superb 'soundbites', Avi's protagonist confronts an intensely personal issue - be it suicidal feelings, the death of a loved one or the pain of parental divorce - and in so doing sheds their childhood 'skin' for good. In one, Maria finally makes her peace with her missing older brother during a serious of one-sided conversations with a mysterious, silent caller. In another, Matt, whose reputation hinges on his 'bad boy' image, faces the possibility that he may actually be a 'good' boy underneath. Each compelling tale offers a dark and ironic twist, and reading this collection is like unwrapping a parcel to find a pearl of wisdom...
Newbery Medalist Avi presents a most unlikely hero in this compelling fantasy. Now repackaged with a great new look. A scholarly, shy member of the rabbit-like Montmers, Perloo is content sipping myrtle tea and reading his history books in his warm burrow. Until the day Perloo's quiet life is interrupted by a mysterious summons from the Montmer leader. What follows is an incredible journey that will take Perloo over snowy mountains, through underground tunnels, and into enemy territory - and will alter history forever.
