Story0
When Charles S. Stratton was born in 1838, he seemed perfect in every way. But then he stopped growing. At age four, though a happy and mischievous child, he was just over two feet tall and weighed 15 pounds - the exact size he had been as a seven-month-old baby. It was then that P. T. Barnum persuaded Charley’s family to allow him to exhibit their son in his museum and tour him around the world as a curiosity. Tom Thumb, as Barnum dubbed him, was a natural performer.

Mother Teresa is an informative introduction to the famous Catholic nun. Mother Teresa is one of the most admired Nobel laureates of all time. Born in Eastern Europe of Albanian parents, she became a Catholic missionary nun in India when she was still a teenager.

Story0
Gary Soto writes that when he was five "what I knew best was at ground level." In this lively collection of short essays, Soto takes his listener to a ground-level perspective, recreating in vivid detail the sights, sounds, smells, and textures he knew growing up in his Fresno, California, neighborhood. The "things" of his boyhood tie it all together: his Buddha "splotched with gold", the taps of his shoes, and the "engines of sparks that lived beneath my soles", his worn tennies smelling of "summer grass, asphalt, the moist sock breathing the defeat of baseball". The child’s world is made up of small things - small, very important things.

Could any story be more inspiring than that of Joan of Arc, the courageous maiden who fought for the glory of France and God? Guided by what she firmly believed were visions of saints, this young Frenchwoman - still just 16 years old - led her people in battle against the British occupiers. Though she proved victorious in war, Joan ultimately became a martyr when some of her own countrymen betrayed her to the English.

Laura Dekker var kun 14 år, da hun stævnede ud i sin båd for at sejle jorden rundt. Alene! Efter 518 dage nåede hun som 16-årig sit mål. Hun havde på egen hånd sejlet hele kloden rundt - som den yngste nogensinde. Dette er historien om hendes utrolige eventyr. Om mod, viljestyrke, venskaber, Stillehavsøer, verdenshave, frihed, storme og ensomhed. Og om en retssag, der var ved at bremse det hele. "Alene jorden rundt" er historien om en meget usædvanlige pige, som kan inspirere alle til at kæmpe for ting, de drømmer om - også selvom der er masser af modstand.
