"A young girl is thrilled to spend the day with her big sister, but things don't go as planned. It's so hot outside--legs-stick-to-the-seat hot--that her ice cream melts. And then it rains. Their plans must change, and then change again as the library closes just before they arrive. But big sister knows just what to do next--even if it's nothing besides splashing in puddles and looking at the stars. The day isn't anything like little sister expected . . . it's better."--Amazon.com. "Una niña está encantada de pasar el día con su hermana mayor, pero las cosas no salen según lo que han planeado. Hace tanto calor afuera (calor tipo se-te-pegan-las-piernas-al-asiento) que se derrite su helado. Y luego llueve. Sus planes deben cambiar y luego volver a cambiar cuando la biblioteca cierra justo antes de su llegada. Pero la hermana mayor sabe exactamente qué hacer, incluso si no es más que chapotear en los charcos y mirar las estrellas. El día no se parece en nada a lo que esperaba la hermana pequeña: es aún mejor."--Amazon.com.

The novel life of Jane Austen : a graphic biography

Barchas, Janine,


"The Novel Life of Jane Austen is a one-of-a-kind, impeccably researched, ecstatically drawn graphic biography of one of the world's most beloved literary icons. Combining deep scholarship and serious whimsy, The Novel Life of Jane Austen presents this literary icon as the starring character in her own graphic novel. Told in three parts (Budding Writer 1796-1797); Struggling Artist 1801-1809; Published Author 1811-1817), the gritty circumstances of Austen's own genteel poverty and the small daily injustices so often borne by creative women at this time, are told against the backdrop of Georgian England and reflect, down to the smallest detail, many of the plots and characters woven into Austen's greatest works. All the settings and scenarios presented here are based upon the historical record, including the clothing, architecture, decor, and Regency locations. Sprinkled throughout, the Easter eggs and clever references to popular film adaptations of Austen's novels will satisfy the casual and avid Austen fan alike"--
