NUMBER THE STARS

by Lois Lowry ; Read by Christina Moore ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 22, 1993

Amazon

In this Newbery Award-winning story, German soldiers occupying Denmark begin to round up the Jews for relocation to concentration camps. The icy tones in which the Germans bark out commands convey their cold-hearted natures as effectively as their cruel actions. Moore pits this against the proud nationalist sentiment in the voices of the Rosens, a Jewish family, and the Johansens,the family that helps them escape persecution. Speeding up the pace of the narration toward the end of the program, Moore creates suspense for the listener as the plan to help the Jews escape comes dangerously close to being uncovered. The irresistible elements of danger and suspense make this audio program of Lowry's historical novel a "must listen."

    WHEN THE LEGENDS DIE

    by Hal rland ; Read by Norman Dietz ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

    In this fascinating coming-of-age portrait, Thomas Black Bull's journey from the child, Bear's Brother, to the fearsome rodeo rider, Killer Tom Black, is painted with compassion and insight. Forced to learn the White Man's ways, Tom reaches adulthood consumed by rage. Read with great vigor by Norman Dietz, the recording bursts with the energy of rodeo circuit and transports the listener to the southwest. The accurate portrayal of Tom's Ute ancestry and way of life, the sorrow and frustration of losing his heritage, and his angry retaliation at the world make this an excellent listening choice for adults and teenagers. It would also be a wonderful addition to high school units on the Native American experience.

      RUBBER LEGS AND WHITE TAIL-HAIRS

      by Patrick F. McManus ; Read by George S. Irving ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

      George S. Irving adopts Patrick McManus's characters with gusto. Sit back and listen to yarn after yarn. Irving relishes each story, whether it's fishing stories, such as "Claw of the Sea-Puss" or "To Filet or Not to Filet," or the escapades with McManus's wary but vulnerable neighbors. Irving has the jocular chuckle down pat, and the low comedy satire comes off without a hitch. Listeners can imagine Irving tipping back a chair at the country store swapping lies with cronies and entertaining any comers with these hilarious tales. His repertoire of more than eight collections of McManus stories encourages this kind of ownership!
