The whole place is surrounded by wall panels, in a globe shape. Her job is basically sitting in a chair and clicking any panel that flickers. One day she sees a panel flicker a bit outside of her designated zone, but when she checks it out something happens and she gets a warning.

If you get 3 warnings, you are kicked out of the place. Her mother was kicked out of the place a long time ago. She remember that she got one strike because she was on the swings and went too high. The flickering panel scenario gives her 2 warnings in total. At 18, all of the warnings are removed and you get a second chance. At 18, you also determine your future husband.

You're also not allowed to wear white unless you work for the government. She finds her mother's wedding dress and wears it to the place where she will find her new husband, and there's two pictures that flash for her name. Then rebels come and attack the place and grab her but she escapes.

I don't remember much after that except she somehow gets out of the utopia and finds out that people live outside the little bubble she's lived her whole live. She doesn't trust anyone, there are bombs, people die, she goes back into her old bubble home.

The master of the whole bubble place comes to her and he's fishy. Her mom is actually alive and she is the master of the rebels. Her mother wants her to take over, she says no, mother goes crazy, and she kills her. The girl is obviously shook and she ends up in a box that messes with her mind and actualizes her nightmares. There a boy involved too, idk how though. I know it's messy and all over the place, but that's what I remember.

Looking for a book that I read in my sophomore or Jr year of high school. All I can remember is it started in a village that was shot down, but a few escaped including this boy. The book is about a desert I think where people walked for months to safety to escape. I'm pretty sure it took place in Africa and is a non-fiction book.

Actually he became the administrator of the hospital and his book is a series of stories about all of that. He tells us about one client whom rallied in the face of impossible odds again and again and again to reach adulthood. He spoke about having lifelong relationships with his very injured patients. He spoke about fund raising.

All the special needs a hospital like his had and how he had to go about getting those needs met. He spoke about being mentored by the previous Administrator not really knowing what he was walking into. He spoke about it being a calling not a job. At the end of the book was a chapter advising parents on what, where and how to get what they needed for their children should the need arise.

He spoke about one client who had horrific medical issues which required inventive surgical interventions. He spoke about his fundraising efforts. About one donor whose child he had helped and how he gave back to the hospital.

He spoke about the hospital never having enough funds for what they needed. He spoke about the previous administrator being his mentor. I lent this book to one of my clients and never got it back.

One book was about a sea monster that lived in a cavern, the only way of seeing through the cavern was with the flash from a camera; the narrator said they could hear what sounded like a "wet sack" being dragged on the ground.

In another book, the narrators sister is abducted by aliens and her eyes turn black. There is also mention of a black floating orb in that same story. I believe they all took place in a fictional town called "Fairfield" or something similar to that? There was a book I read in late elementary school I'm in high school now and I remember there were these kids that lived in a small town and they were all friends. I remember them riding their bikes together and stuff.

I remember one of them almost died, and everybody back in the town thought they were playing around up in the mountain area??? And all died or something.

There's a skeleton in a raincoat involved but idk if it was the cover or what please help! I first read the book on Wattpad almost 7 years ago, but I'm pretty sure it was in the process of being published, so I figured it'd be worth a shot to check here.

The story was about a woman who lived in a fantasy land where a certain numbers of years of charity work was required by the law and the world was divided into cultures by land, sea and air. If I remember correctly, a man from the air was brought up on her beach by a young mermaid and she had to care for him. The mermaid was madly in love with him, abandoning her family to be with him, but the man didn't have much care for her really. The woman was charged with the task of taking the mermaid home and reversing the curse that the sea witch had placed on her, despite the growing attraction between the woman and the man the woman loved.

The woman displayed an unspeakable amount of selflessness as she sacrificed her feelings for the young mermaid and her older brother who was developing feelings for the woman whom she eventually met when returning the princess before solving the curse. The man ended up being a partner of the sea witch's and had been building a curse by stealing the mermaid's heart and a few other things that he'd harmed other characters, including the main woman, to obtain, but he accidentally fell in love with woman and invited her to be a partner to his evil.

Unfortunately or maybe fortunately. I still struggle to decide , the woman decided to uphold her selfless morals despite her own love for the man and actually killed him. It hurt her terribly and was heartwrenching to read. I don't know how much of the story would've changed during the publication process, so i tried to include as much detail as possible. If this sounds even remotely familiar, please let me know. I originally read the book on Wattpad, but it was in the process of being published I think , so I figured checking here was worth a shot.

The woman was charged with the task of taking the mermaid home and reversing the curse that a sea witch had placed on her, despite the growing attraction between the woman and the man the woman loved. I'm not sure how much of the story would've stayed the same if it went through publishing, so I tried to include as much detail as possible. If this sounds familiar, please let me know.

The challenge becomes, not finding that scarce plant growing in the desert, but finding a specific plant growing in a jungle. We are going to need help navigating that information to find the thing we actually need. Libraries are places that people go to for information.

Books are only the tip of the information iceberg: More children are borrowing books from libraries than ever before — books of all kinds: But libraries are also, for example, places that people, who may not have computers, who may not have internet connections, can go online without paying anything: Librarians can help these people navigate that world. I do not believe that all books will or should migrate onto screens: And the reason there are still sharks around is that sharks are better at being sharks than anything else is.

Physical books are tough, hard to destroy, bath-resistant, solar-operated, feel good in your hand: They belong in libraries, just as libraries have already become places you can go to get access to ebooks, and audiobooks and DVDs and web content. A library is a place that is a repository of information and gives every citizen equal access to it. That includes health information. And mental health information. What the libraries of the future will be like is something we should be imagining now.

Literacy is more important than ever it was, in this world of text and email, a world of written information. We need to read and write, we need global citizens who can read comfortably, comprehend what they are reading, understand nuance, and make themselves understood. Libraries really are the gates to the future. So it is unfortunate that, round the world, we observe local authorities seizing the opportunity to close libraries as an easy way to save money, without realising that they are stealing from the future to pay for today.

They are closing the gates that should be open. Or to put it another way, our children and our grandchildren are less literate and less numerate than we are. They are less able to navigate the world, to understand it to solve problems. They can be more easily lied to and misled, will be less able to change the world in which they find themselves, be less employable. All of these things. And as a country, England will fall behind other developed nations because it will lack a skilled workforce.

Books are the way that we communicate with the dead. The way that we learn lessons from those who are no longer with us, that humanity has built on itself, progressed, made knowledge incremental rather than something that has to be relearned, over and over. There are tales that are older than most countries, tales that have long outlasted the cultures and the buildings in which they were first told.

I think we have responsibilities to the future. Responsibilities and obligations to children, to the adults those children will become, to the world they will find themselves inhabiting. All of us — as readers, as writers, as citizens — have obligations. I believe we have an obligation to read for pleasure, in private and in public places. If we read for pleasure, if others see us reading, then we learn, we exercise our imaginations. We show others that reading is a good thing. We have an obligation to support libraries. To use libraries, to encourage others to use libraries, to protest the closure of libraries.

If you do not value libraries then you do not value information or culture or wisdom. You are silencing the voices of the past and you are damaging the future. We have an obligation to read aloud to our children. To read them things they enjoy. To read to them stories we are already tired of. To do the voices, to make it interesting, and not to stop reading to them just because they learn to read to themselves.

Use reading-aloud time as bonding time, as time when no phones are being checked, when the distractions of the world are put aside. We have an obligation to use the language. We must not to attempt to freeze language, or to pretend it is a dead thing that must be revered, but we should use it as a living thing, that flows, that borrows words, that allows meanings and pronunciations to change with time.

We writers — and especially writers for children, but all writers — have an obligation to our readers: Fiction is the lie that tells the truth, after all. We have an obligation not to bore our readers, but to make them need to turn the pages. One of the best cures for a reluctant reader, after all, is a tale they cannot stop themselves from reading.

We all — adults and children, writers and readers — have an obligation to daydream. We have an obligation to imagine. It is easy to pretend that nobody can change anything, that we are in a world in which society is huge and the individual is less than nothing: But the truth is, individuals change their world over and over, individuals make the future, and they do it by imagining that things can be different. Pause, for a moment and look around the room that you are in.

Someone decided it was easier to sit on a chair than on the ground and imagined the chair. Someone had to imagine a way that I could talk to you in London right now without us all getting rained on. This room and the things in it, and all the other things in this building, this city, exist because, over and over and over, people imagined things.

We have an obligation to make things beautiful. Not to leave the world uglier than we found it, not to empty the oceans, not to leave our problems for the next generation. We have an obligation to tell our politicians what we want, to vote against politicians of whatever party who do not understand the value of reading in creating worthwhile citizens, who do not want to act to preserve and protect knowledge and encourage literacy. This is not a matter of party politics.

Neil Gaiman: Why our future depends on libraries, reading and daydreaming

This is a matter of common humanity. Albert Einstein was asked once how we could make our children intelligent. His reply was both simple and wise. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales. I hope we can give our children a world in which they will read, and be read to, and imagine, and understand.
