The advantage is always to the persons on the high ground. We attacked. We were beaten back. We attacked again. We were beaten back. We attacked again - same result. We looked at our Captain. "They're too strong Captain. We can't take the ground."For which the Captain replied the words forever opening all our eyes to war, "We keep trying until none of us are left standing." That was the moment. We awoke to war. The moment we became soldiers. The next time we attacked we made sure to take our objective.later, I realized the internal damage of the day. At the age of 20, I was both a hero and a killer.". …

Stranger danger doesn't disappear when you start wearing a push-up bra, notes one of Stickle's pre-teen narrators when confronted by a leering threat that will forever sever her path from that of her best friend. In How to Make Stock with Thanksgiving Leftovers, a queer young woman takes us through a wry recipe for boiling turkey stock and raging against small-minded relatives and the traumas they inflict.Written in the style of a classic glossy magazine personality quiz, How Mature Are You?: A Quiz provides whip-smart A, B, C responses to situations such as: When that bitch in your book club calls you a space cadet then furnishes the reader with irreverent, pull-no-punches results. This is a collection as darkly humorous as it is heartbreaking and disquieting. Within Stickle's thirteen walled worlds, some will break, some adapt, and others soar.

Hardback. Condizione: Good. To many people who gaze across Cook Inlet from Anchorage, Alaska, Mount Susitna looks like a slumbering woman. The Sleeping Lady is a modern-day folk legend that accounts for both Alaska's first snowfall and for the origin of this beautiful mountain. It is also a classic tale about a time of peace and the consequences of war. Enchanting oil paintings by artist Elizabeth Johns capture the village life of the giant people, a prehistoric, peace-loving group and the drama that ensues when they must face a band of menacing warriors. The tale centers on the fate of the story's two betrothed lovers, Nekatla and Susitna, whose encounters with war bring a lasting change to the land and their people. Cloaked in snow in winter and wildflowers in summer, Mount Susitna embodies the hope for peace so relevant at any age. As much a mythical explanation for natural phenomena as it is a tale about a time when people lived in harmony with nature and each other. Johns, Elizabeth (illustratore).…
