Every neighbourhood has its black sheep, but this one has bears. Well, nobody has actually seen the inhabitants of the house at the end of the road, but that doesn't stop the gossip about The Bears We Know. In colourfully mischievous illustrations, readers are invited to see for themselves these ursine neighbours living life as they see fit. Also, they growl if anyone gets too close, so nobody visits. This playful story promises to charm even as it challenges with the question "Does anybody really know their next-door neighbours?" Reading Level: Grade K-3
Jude the Obscure is the last Thomas Hardy's important novel. Jude the Obscure created storms of scandal and protest for the author upon its publication. Hardy, disgusted and disappointed, devoted the remainder of his life to poetry and never wrote another novel. Jude Fawley and Sue Bridehead have both had unhappy first marriages. Then they fall in love. This is the story of their love, and the way their past returns, bringing them hope, then sadness. Audio added Thanks to apadana
