MY WISHFUL WEDNESDAY [ 28 ]

Setelah hampir dua minggu ‘merana’ karena tidak bisa online (komputer, laptop, modem, ponsel semuanya gantian butuh ‘perawatan-khusus’ alias istirahat sementara waktu) alhasil hari ini ketika akhirnya ‘jalur-lalu-lintas-onlinerku’ terbuka lebar dan tepat juga ada event WW-nya mbak Astrid yang kali ini berkolaborasi dengan miss Bzee untuk ‘special-giveaway’ ... jadilah diriku Happy plus ‘sumringah’ alias ‘nyengir lebar’ (apalagi klo menang, bakaln jungkir-balik-koprol deh kayaknya hohoho)

Cara mainnya sama dengan WW sebelumnya, dan untuk Giveaway kali ini, kita para peserta boleh memilih Hadiah senilai IDR 100 atau $ 10 dari list buku-buku yang tercantum dalam kumpulan review di FMs1, FMs2 dan FMs3 (langsung aja ‘klik’ di link tersebut dan cari linky tools berupa ‘famous-blue-frog’ di bagian bawah postingan). Untuk lebih jelasnya, silahkan baca seluruh persyaratan di postingan Book To Share dan Bacaan Bzee (^_^)

TURTLE IN PARADISE by Jennifer L. Holm
[ source : Postingan mbak Ana ]
Tidak pernah bisa 'menahan-diri' jika melihat tanda 'Newbery Award' di sebuah buku...
Preview :
In Jennifer L. Holm's New York Times bestselling, Newbery Honor winning middle grade historical fiction novel, life isn't like the movies. But then again, 11-year-old Turtle is no Shirley Temple. She's smart and tough and has seen enough of the world not to expect a Hollywood ending. After all, it's 1935 and jobs and money and sometimes even dreams are scarce. So when Turtle's mama gets a job housekeeping for a lady who doesn't like kids, Turtle says goodbye without a tear and heads off to Key West, Florida to live with relatives she's never met. Florida's like nothing Turtle's ever seen before though. It's hot and strange, full of rag tag boy cousins, family secrets, scams, and even buried pirate treasure! Before she knows what's happened, Turtle finds herself coming out of the shell she's spent her life building, and as she does, her world opens up in the most unexpected ways. Filled with adventure, humor and heart, "Turtle in Paradise" is an instant classic both boys and girls with love. Includes an Author's Note with photographs and further background on the Great Depression, as well as additional resources and websites. Starred Review, "Kirkus Reviews" "Sweet, funny and superb." Starred Review, "Booklist" "Just the right mixture of knowingness and hope . . . a hilarious blend of family drama seasoned with a dollop of adventure."

A CORNER OF THE UNIVERSE by Ann Martin

Salah satu incaranku untuk melengkapi Newbery Award Reading Challenge
Preview :
Ann Martin's phenomenal Newbery Honor book, now in paperback The summer Hattie turns 12, her predictable smalltown life is turned on end when her uncle Adam returns home for the first time in over ten years. Hattie has never met him, never known about him. He's been institutionalized; his condition invovles schizophrenia and autism. Hattie, a shy girl who prefers the company of adults, takes immediately to her excitable uncle, even when the rest of the family -- her parents and grandparents -- have trouble dealing with his intense way of seeing the world. And Adam, too, sees that Hattie is special, that her quiet, shy ways are not a disability

THE VIEW FROM SATURDAY by E.L. Konigsburg
[ source : Postingan mbak Astrid ]
Satu lagi incaranku untuk melengkapi Newbery Award Reading Challenge (^_^)
Preview :
HOW HAD MRS. OLINSKI CHOSEN her sixth-grade Academic Bowl team? She had a number of answers. But were any of them true? How had she really chosen Noah and Nadia and Ethan and Julian? And why did they make such a good team? It was a surprise to a lot of people when Mrs. Olinski's team won the sixth-grade Academic Bowl contest at Epiphany Middle School. It was an even bigger surprise when they beat the seventh grade and the eighth grade, too. And when they went on to even greater victories, everyone began to ask: How did it happen? It happened at least partly because Noah had been the best man (quite by accident) at the wedding of Ethan's grandmother and Nadia's grandfather. It happened because Nadia discovered that she could not let a lot of baby turtles die. It happened when Ethan could not let Julian face disaster alone. And it happened because Julian valued something important in himself and saw in the other three something he also valued. Mrs. Olinski, returning to teaching after having been injured in an automobile accident, found that her Academic Bowl team became her answer to finding confidence and success. What she did not know, at least at first, was that her team knew more than she did the answer to why they had been chosen. This is a tale about a team, a class, a school, a series of contests and, set in the midst of this, four jewel-like short stories -- one for each of the team members -- that ask questions and demonstrate surprising answers.
