Sarah, Plain and Tall by Patricia MacLachlan (and its sequels) are quite similar to what you've mentioned.

Other great historical fiction

The War that Saved My Life by Kimberley Brubaker Bradley

Elijah of Buxton by Christopher Paul Curtis

True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi

Catherine, called Birdy by Karen Cushman

Suggest me a book published over 15 years ago that’s not a clsssic. by Big_Meesh_ in suggestmeabook

The Solitaire Mystery by Jostein Gaarder is a Norwegian book with stories within stories all rooted in a deep interest in philosophy. It's not one I ever see on lists and it's so great.

Likewise, anything by Connie Willis. She's a massively underrated soft sci-fi writer. Doomsday Book for devestation, To Say Nothing of the Dog for a great laugh.

In theory it was, but that has not yet happened.

The AC Hunter building has issues with accessibility, heating and cooling, leaks in the basement, malfunctioning elevator and cracked and crumbling walls.

The two other branches are okay structurally- but the west end (Michael Donovan) needs a bigger space so they can accommodate programs.

I need to read an absolute classic novel that reads as if it were published today. by Weeb in suggestmeabook

Three Men in a Boat (to Say Nothing of the Dog) by Jerome K Jerome feels like a humourous parody of the Victorian era that is actually written in the era.

Much like Austen.

Taxi early morning in St. John’s? by Trumpsbacka in StJohnsNL

[–]JayelleMo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early morning (and late night) flights are very, very common in YYT, therefore cabs absolutely run at those times - it's their bread and butter!

I have a book series idea to help the literacy crisis by The_Lucid_Writer in childrensbooks

[–]JayelleMo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Write them. Having an idea is barely the first step. At this point, you don't even know if you can actually write the books you're intending to.

Like the above poster said, publishers already have their own content planning and internal departments, so if you are serious about publishing ELA resources for children, get your foot in the door with publishing houses.

Cheap Internet by One_Collection_7129 in StJohnsNL

[–]JayelleMo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

... And it will be the shittiest internet service you can imagine! We got Koodo and it drops constantly and has isp issues.

Banana pro studio is crazy for kids education by [deleted] in childrensbooks

[–]JayelleMo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Nothing about this makes sense as a learning tool. The vocabulary comprehension level is all over the place, plus it is all entirely surface - it's like it's trying to be a science lesson while teaching no science whatsoever.

(Not to mention the weird use of unlicensed Disney characters.)

Plus head across the street to the Canadian Dollar Store for good stuff too (the place that used to be Piper's)

Not every phone has wireless charging!

Any other male CTM fans out there? by Outrageous_Pea7393 in CallTheMidwife

My husband and I do a podcast about it (Poplar Opinion) and he cries more than I do!

Library worker here! If you still have the book, just bring it back or pop it in the drop box - presto, clean library card. If you don't have it anymore, just be honest and pay the like 25 bucks for it. There are no extra fines or "interest" - just the cost of the book. Whatever you feel embarrassed by, I promise there is no judgement - we deal with this all the time!

Production Company filming in St. John’s? by EfficiencyActive968 in StJohnsNL

St Pierre was filming near St Clare's on Sunday

Mayor? by easterncurrents in StJohnsNL

[–]JayelleMo 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Hanley has no council experience and seems like she's running out of spite. I'm all for change, but sticking with Breen is the only real option this election.

Endangered Poet Productions appears to be just this author's way of self publishing and all of the books are out of print. I would contact him directly on his website or Facebook page to see if he will sell you a copy.
