"The planes approached, flying shallow this time, with the blood-red Japanese symbol of the rising sun painted on their bodies, looking fierce and terrifying. Suddenly, 'Boom boom,' the ground shook violently...." This is a trilogy of chronicled historical novels, six books in total, based on historical events in China during the 20th century and the personal experiences of the author's family members. The time spans a hundred years, the space spans across China from southwest to northeast, west to east, and finally across America and Canada. The characters in the story all have prototypes. Based on the life experiences of two generations of women, their growth, love, and marriage reveal the traditional Chinese natural farming society and its destruction, particularly the destruction of the gentry and intellectuals, as well as the tragic crushing of ordinary people by communist totalitarian tyranny. It is a romance and a history. It is also a journey of Chinese women's psychological and physiological growth in the 20th century. The historical events, geography, place names, streets, and customs in the story are all true, one of the manors is the old house of the author's family. It is already dilapidated, but the place is still named after the old house, and the name “Stone Garden” can be seen on Google Maps. Phoenix Works: phoenixnestca.wordpress.com/en

From award-winning author Deborah Heiligman comes Torpedoed, a true account of the attack and sinking of the passenger ship SS City of Benares, which was evacuating children from England during WWII. Amid the constant rain of German bombs and the escalating violence of World War II, British parents by the thousands chose to send their children out of the country: the wealthy, independently; the poor, through a government relocation program called CORB. In September 1940, passenger liner SS City of Benares set sail for Canada with one hundred children on board. When the war ships escorting the Benares departed, a German submarine torpedoed what became known as the Children's Ship. Out of tragedy, ordinary people became heroes. This is their story. This title has Common Core connections.

This original and “meticulously researched retelling of history’s most infamous voyage” (Denise Kiernan, New York Times bestselling author) uses the sinking of the Titanic as a prism through which to examine the end of the Edwardian era and the seismic shift modernity brought to the Western world. “While there are many Titanic books, this is one readers will consider a favorite” (Voyage). In April 1912, six notable people were among those privileged to experience the height of luxury—first class passage on “the ship of dreams,” the RMS Titanic: Lucy Leslie, Countess of Rothes; son of the British Empire Tommy Andrews; American captain of industry John Thayer and his son Jack; Jewish-American immigrant Ida Straus; and American model and movie star Dorothy Gibson. Within a week of setting sail, they were all caught up in the horrifying disaster of the Titanic’s sinking, one of the biggest news stories of the century. Today, we can see their stories and the Titanic’s voyage as the beginning of the end of the established hierarchy of the Edwardian era. Writing in his signature elegant prose and using previously unpublished sources, deck plans, journal entries, and surviving artifacts, Gareth Russell peers through the portholes of these first-class travelers to immerse us in a time of unprecedented change in British and American history. Through their intertwining lives, he examines social, technological, political, and economic forces such as the nuances of the British class system, the explosion of competition in the shipping trade, the birth of the movie industry, the Irish Home Rule Crisis, and the Jewish-American immigrant experience while also recounting their intimate stories of bravery, tragedy, and selflessness. Lavishly illustrated with color and black and white photographs, this is “a beautiful requiem” (The Wall Street Journal) in which “readers get the story of this particular floating Tower of Babel in riveting detail, and with all the wider context they could want” (Christian Science Monitor).
