- The thing with feathers / by Hoyle, McCall,author.(CARDINAL)345577;
Emilie Day believes in playing it safe. She's homeschooled, her best friend is her seizure dog, and she's probably the only girl on the Outer Banks of North Carolina who can't swim. Then Emilie's mom enrolls her in public school, and Emilie goes from studying at home in her pajamas to walking through halls full of strangers. To make matters worse, Emilie is paired with starting point guard Chatham York for a major research project on Emily Dickinson. She should be ecstatic when Chatham shows interest, but she has a problem: she hasn't told anyone about her epilepsy. Emilie lives in fear that her recently adjusted meds will fail and that she'll seize at school. Eventually, the worst happens, and she must decide whether to withdraw to safety or to follow a dead-poet's advice and dwell in possibility.770LAccelerated Reader AR- Subjects: Romance fiction.; Young adult fiction.; Young adult fiction.; Dickinson, Emily, 1830-1886; Teenage girls; Epilepsy in adolescence; Epileptics; Home schooling;

- Those who saw the sun : African American oral histories from the Jim Crow South / by Avery, Jaha Nailah,author.(CARDINAL)874592;
"Those Who Saw the Sun is a collection of oral histories told by Black people who grew up in the South during the time of Jim Crow"--The past is not past. We may think something ancient history, or something that doesn't affect our present day, but we would be wrong. Those Who Saw the Sun is a collection of oral histories told by Black people who grew up in the South during the time of Jim Crow. Jaha Nailah Avery is a lawyer, scholar, and reporter whose family has roots in North Carolina stretching back over 300 years. These interviews have been a personal passion project for years as she's traveled across the South meeting with elders and hearing their stories. One of the most important things a culture can do is preserve history, truthfully. In Those Who Saw the Sun we have the special experience of hearing this history as it was experienced by those who were really there. The opportunity to read their stories, their similarities and differences, where they agree and disagree, and where they overcame obstacles and found joy - feels truly like a gift.- Subjects: Interviews.; Oral histories.; Personal narratives.; Biographies.; Young adult literature.; African Americans; African Americans; African Americans; African Americans;
