They had many pets-including two marmoset monkeys that joined them on one of their steamship journeys across the Atlantic. Rey created many books during their lives together, including Curious George, one of the most treasured classics of all time, as well as other favorites like Pretzel, Spotty, and Find the Constellations. Curious George has been successfully adapted into a major motion picture and an Emmy-winning television show on PBS. More than 200 Curious George titles followed, with 75 million books sold worldwide. After the Reys escaped Paris by bicycle in 1940 carrying the manuscript for the original Curious George, the book was published in America in 1941. But it was their rambunctious little monkey who became an instantly recognizable icon. Hans and Margret Rey created many books during their lives together, including Curious George, one of the most treasured classics of all time, as well as other favorites like Spotty and Pretzel. With little “street smarts,” the three soon find themselves kidnapped and working as slaves. Despite his father’s warnings, Tendai sneaks out of the house with his younger brother and sister in order to trek across the city and earn their merit badges. However, General Matsika won’t let his children out of the protective confines of his home. His eldest son, thirteen-year-old Tendai, wants to earn his merit badge for exploring in order to become an Eagle Scout. Synopsis: The year is 2194, and General Matsika has many enemies in Zimbabwe. Most importantly, it’s about a boy who learns that he has more courage within him than he ever suspected, and I love stories where kids find the courage to be heroes.Īge group: Upper middle grade (Ages 11 and up) Second, it takes place in Africa (Zimbabwe, to be precise) and weaves some African folklore and culture into this futuristic setting. Just holophones and mile-high buildings you reach via hovercrafts. First, it’s science fiction that takes place on Earth. This book used to be part of the reading curriculum at two of my previous schools. I loved this book because it taught me so many lessons. Golden may have captured the magic of the world of the geisha (albeit through an Orientalist lens), but Iwasaki carefully sets the word straight with no less interesting a story. Iwasaki paints the world of Gion in vivid detail, describing the colourful personalities of the other geiko, dance instructors and mentors, and patrons while also balancing the inherent drama with a pared down exploration of the business and practical aspects of growing up in the okiya that rings true. Her story may not have the same narrative resonance as Golden’s novel, but her honest examination of the world she grew up in is captivating nonetheless. Adopted at a very young age to become the heir to the Iwasaki okiya, Mineko enters the rarified world of the geisha as a means of pursuing her passion for dancing and to help her family. Memoirs may take readers behind the (heavily fictionalised and romanticised) veil of the world of the geisha of Gion, but Mineko Iwasaki’s story gets to the heart of the matter. I’m still not a big fan of biographies or memoirs, but when I found out that a rebuttal had been published by one of the geisha who had been interviewed for Arthur Golden’s novel Memoirs of a Geisha (one of my favs, even for its faults) I HAD to go and read it.
