A gripping young adult novel that sweeps from the pioneer past to the present. In the late 1820s, Lizzie Dawson, only sixteen, was forced to be the child bride of a notorious whaler in the remote Marlborough Sounds of New Zealand. There began a living hell — until she met Matthew, a young Maori preacher, and with love came defiance. Flash forward to today. Bel, also sixteen, is sent to a remote farm in the Sounds. Her parents are in the throes of divorce and Bel's turbulent thoughts attract an uneasy force. '"At last," says a voice in my head. "You're here." And I know without a doubt that Lizzie has come for me, and me alone.' Lizzie has an urgent story to tell. Past events drive her to reach across time, across worlds. In this extraordinary first novel, Lorraine Orman evokes the nineteenth-century whalers' lives as vividly as the contemporary story. Cross Tides sweeps you into its double world with eerie, irresistible power.

Plants

By: Lorraine Conway

Based on the idea that active participation stimulates the processes by which learning takes place, this document provides teachers and students with a variety of information and learning activities which deal with plants. Basic concepts about plants are presented through the use of laboratory experiences, learning stations, field trips, and individual and group activities. The material focuses on: (1) the parts of trees and flowers; (2) the classification of plants (including the use of a simple dichotomous key in classifying trees); (3) making leaf collections and tree silhouettes; (4) germination of plants; (5) the transportation of water in celery; (6) tree dating; (7) building a sugar molecule; (8) poisonous plants; and (9) things to look for on field trips. The amount of time required for completion of the activities varies from a few minutes to an entire class period. The activities require little or no expensive materials. Included are reproducible handouts for many of the activities, along with quizzes, self-checks, and answer sheets. (TW)

Furze the Fixer

By: Lorraine Orman,Trevor Pye

Dougal scowled at the old umbrella in his hand. He chucked it into the junk pile. This was turning out to be the worst summer holiday ever. Okay, he was sorry Nan had a sore back. But why did big-mouthed sister Sarah have to say that she and Dougal would do some work round the place? He was meant to be on holiday! He'd ended up with the yucky job of clearing junk out of the cupboard under the stairs, where he had found an old suitcase with leather corners and cracked straps and rusty buckles. Inside was a small bundle of tartan cloth tucked into one corner. The tartan material heaved. Dougal watched in fascinated horror as it unwrapped itself. A small hairy figure crawled out. He was wearing a brown homespun shirt over a ragged tartan kilt and a bedraggled sporran. His bright red hair bristled wildly. So did his beard. Can you fetch Samuel for me, laddie? I am definitely dreaming, Dougal thought.
