NEBADOR - the incredible journey of five young adults from poverty and oppression to respected citizenship in the wide universe ... Nebador is much more than just an entertaining story. The particular Muse who inspired the author was obviously concerned about young adults in the early twenty-first century who are about to inherit a very different world than their parents knew. The Nebador stories contain many wit-sharpening and skill-honing lessons and situations, and the author has provided these questions and comments for any reader who wants to learn as much as possible from the same Muse. Some may be useful to all readers, and others are best tackled by advanced students familiar with psychology, sociology, and politics. All of the illustrations from the story editions are included for easy reference. This is the PAPERBACK DEEP LEARNING NOTES (companion to the story editions) in 12-point type.

Is This MyStory will encourage readers to stop believing that someone else dictates their thoughts, feelings and actions and instead, show them how to become critically literate individuals who consciously direct their own life.Too often students attend classes, listen to teachers and recount what they have heard, without really understanding what they are doing, why they are doing it, or how the learning applies to them. Is This MyStory aims to address this problem. Readers are encouraged to take an active role in the learning process.

Susannah begins to learn about slavery in the South and the Abolitionist movement in the North, but the issues soon become more than idle gossip. Her father hires Jacob, an escaped slave, to work as a farmhand and live in the Allen's spare room. When tensions explode in her town, Susannah must face how to stand up to prejudice when it's a matter of life or death. The Spare Room is a story appropriate for all readers, ages 10 and up. The Spare Room by Jenny Land is a fast-paced, entertaining and thoughtful novel for young adults, the kind of book I loved to read as a child: not old-fashioned, but timeless, like Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird or the Laura Ingalls Wilder Little House In The Big Woods series. The story is set in Vermont in 1843, almost twenty years before the onset of the American Civil War, during a time when abolitionists in New England were already calling for an end to slavery and escaped slaves from southern states were moving north toward Canada. Land has written a thoroughly engaging book, well grounded in the atmosphere of a time and a place when life was often very hard for families. The Spare Room brings this to the reader with carefully researched detail blended with the captivating energy of Susannah Allen s perceptive view of her world. This is a book that readers of any age will find hard to put down, and impossible to forget.The Spare Room reminds us that the freedom and equal opportunity we take for granted today were achieved only after a time of adversity and division, when many principled Vermonters took a stand. --Reeve Lindbergh, Author Land writes with the magical touch of Laura Ingalls Wilder. --Howard Frank Mosher, Author The Spare Room reminds us that the freedom and equal opportunity we take for granted today were achieved only after a time of adversity and division, when many principled Vermonters took a stand. --Jim Douglas, former Vermont Governor and historian
