Elsewhen
As Mahmood approached them, Jimmy saw what was in Mahmood's good hand. He knew what it was. Mahmood used such devices frequently on his captives and had used such a device on Jimmy before. Jimmy screamed louder in rage and frustration. "I do not want that on my head." He tried to move away from Mahmood but made little progress because of the handcuffs. Mahmood reached over to try to put the device on. Jimmy bent his head away from Mahmood in order to avoid the device. Jimmy was unsuccessful and the device went on. When the sphere touched the top of his head, it flowed out in all directions, assuming a more flattened shape. It stuck to his head despite the fact that he used his free hand to try to pull it off. He started sobbing. All his movements gradually started getting slower and slower. He appeared to get weaker and weaker, which he was. The violent emotions shown on his face became more subdued. He began to get lethargic. He slowly sank to the floor.
The Patchwork Princess
Phillipa Jane, aka Princess Pippa, is NOT your typical princess. This tree-climbing, corn shucking, Christmas-tree-farmer's-daughter is nothing like the royalty in fairy tales. The Patchwork Princess explores a day in the life of Pippa, a feminine, yet fierce, young farm girl, who fancies herself a princess. With her crown of Queen Anne's Lace (a regional wildflower) and a slice of cornbread, Pippa and her little brother rule over their dominion, a patch of farmland. Chelsea Wilson Thayer's story was inspired by the life of her own family. The rhyme and rhythm of the story capture the exuberant character of young Pippa while the exquisite illustrations by Beth Snider capture the beauty and warmth of the Appalachian mountains. This timeless story is a tribute to those that call these mountains home.
