Story4
D-Day, June 6, 1944: the most expansive military endeavor in history. No less than world cooperation would bring down Hitler and the Axis powers. And so people - and kids - across the globe lent their part. From the young US soldiers in the boats to spies in the French countryside, the coordination of thousands came together. Alan Gratz, author of the New York Times best-selling Refugee, explores the necessity of teamwork and heroism in dismantling tyranny in this epic, yet personal, look at D-Day in time for the 75th anniversary of the operation.

In Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery, you meet Anne Shirley—a young orphan whose spirit is far too big for the life she’s been given. When she’s mistakenly sent to live with Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert at Green Gables, her boundless imagination and dramatic flair begin to reshape every life she touches. Suddenly, the quiet village of Avonlea bursts with new color: sunlit roads become adventure paths, simple chores turn into stories, and ordinary days brim with possibility. Yet beneath Anne’s charm lies a tender heart longing for belonging, friendship, and a place to finally call home.
