Ryan and Jimmy: And The Well in Africa That Brought Them Together
by Herb ShovellerIt costs a lot of money to build a well in Africa -- a lot more than Ryan Hreljac had thought. Still, the six year old kept doing chores around his parents' house, even after he learned it could take him years to earn enough money. Then a friend of the family wrote an article in the local newspaper about Ryan's wish to build a well to supply people with safe, clean water. Before long, ripples of goodwill began spreading. People started sending money to help pay for Ryan's well. Ryan was interviewed on television. His dream of a well became an international news story. In Agweo, Uganda, villagers were used to walking a long way every day in search of water. What they found was often brown and smelly and made a lot of people sick. But when Ryan's well was built, life in the village changed for the better. A young orphan named Akana Jimmy longed for a chance to thank Ryan in person for this gift of life -- clean water. When they finally meet, an unbreakable bond unites these boys from very different backgrounds, and a long and sometimes life-threatening journey begins. Ryan and Jimmy is part of CitizenKid: A collection of books that inform children about the world and inspire them to be better global citizens.

Révélations
by Jay Olce Zaida Machuca InostrozaUne belle jeune fille dans son lit de mort ne rêve pas avec un bal de débutante, elle, à ses 15 ans, toutes les nuits dans le silence de sa chambre, ne demande qu'une chose : que la Mort l'entoure entre ses bras, avec toute son obscurité, en arrêtant sa douleur physique et émotionnelle pour toujours. Alice n'est pas une jeune fille normale comme les jeunes filles de la ville de Crislene de l'an 1768. Une grave maladie a atteint cette belle jeune de longs cheveux blonds, et étant en dépression à cause de ne pas avoir trouvé du sens à la vie qu'elle menait, elle s'est attachée à la maladie dans l'espoir de mourir bientôt et ne plus souffrir à cause de la douleur. Elle a tant prie pour que sa fin arrive que certain jour, un très beau être angélique lui a proposé une nouvelle vie qui commencerait au moment de sa mort. La mort était tout ce qu'Alice voulait et alors, elle s'est rendit. Cet être était Gilbert, mais il n'était pas uniquement un beau et charmant jeune qui ressemblait 19 ou 20 ans. Il était un Vampire ayant soif de sang, mais enchanté par la beauté d'Alice. Des siècles s'écoulèrent depuis qu'Alice s'est rendit au Vampire qui a fait disparaitre toute sa douleur. Pour son corps circulait maintenant tout type de sang qu'elle a pu trouver par là où ils sont passés. Son amour pour Gilbert était tant humain que surnaturel, et c'est à cause de cet amour qu'elle allait retourner à la ville où sa vie humaine lui avait été arrachée. Crislene était maintenant une autre ville appelée Almodóvar et elle gardait encore des secrets sombres appartenant à une époque énigmatique et sombre, dans laquelle nombreuses révélations sont venus à l'avant avec la mort brutale des parents d'une belle jeune fille de 15 ans qui n'a jamais été retrouvé. Accompagnant le couple dans ce retour à l'origine d'Anastasia, il y a quatre jeunes qui ne sont pas de Vampir
