Haveli

Suzanne Fisher Staples 4-6   6 cassettes
8.25 hours
AB-8
 

The world of Newbery Honor book Shabanu is vividly recreated in this novel of a young Pakistani woman's heartbreaking struggle against the tyranny of custom and ancient law. Shabanu, now a mother at 18, faces daily challenges to her position in her husband's household, even as she plans for her young daughter's education and uncertain future. Then, during a visit to the Haveli, their home in the city of Lahore, Shabanu falls in love with Omar, in spite of traditions that forbid their union.

"Again, Staples imbues Shabanu and her beautiful, brutally repressive world with a splendid reality that transcends the words on the page. Admirers of the intelligent and courageous Shabanu will thirst for more." -(starred) Kirkus.

When Seth Barham meets Jimmy Winter playing baseball with his father one January afternoon, neither boy expects a friendship to grow from their chance encounter. Soon, however, Seth and Jimmy are inseparable, and baseball is the glue that holds their friendship together.

Heidi

Johanna Spyri 4-6   8 cassettes
10.75 hours
AB-65
  Johanna Spyri's classic story of a young orphan sent to live with her grumpy grandfather in the Swiss Alps is retold in its entirety in this beautifully bound hardcover edition. Heidi has charmed and intrigued readers since its original publication in 1880. Much more than a children's story, the narrative is also a lesson on the precarious nature of freedom, a luxury too often taken for granted. Heidi almost loses her liberty as she is ripped away from the tranquility of the mountains to tend to a sick cousin in the city. Happily, all's well that ends well, and the reader is left with only warm, fuzzy thoughts.
