The life lesson for our young reader is in the title: Tragedy Brings Togetherness The story takes place in the Homestead, FL area after hurricane Andrew hit the coast, in the early 1990's. Globey, Seddrick, Diffy and Jiffy (talking cats) live together in a house that was demolished by the storm. All the Good Newz Dudez find out how much they need each other, no matter how rich, poor or the color of their skin. The Good Newz Dudez ask parents, relatives, friend's, etc., for resources and materials. They rebuild the house in one day.

The Good Newz Dudez, GND, are a diverse group of adolescents and teens who simply have a heart for helping each other overcome low self-esteem, because of stereotyping, bullying and negative peer pressure. Even at their young age, each has seen the negative effect a selfish and uncaring person has on kids. Their mission is simple: to use family values and faith to help each member of the GND learn the importance of developing conflict resolution, violence prevention and cultural diversity skills. The life lesson young readers will learn from reading The I Gotta Have It's: Giving is better than greed In this book, Stinky Winky is the member of The Good Newz Dudez needing the help. Stinky Winky is a foster kid, from Great Britain. He developed low self-esteem and became greedy because of being adopted. In his mind, nobody ever gave him anything The story unfolds as The Good Newz Dudez plan to build a tree house in an empty lot, donated to the GND by the Mayor. Very excited, everyone began talking about what they could give to build a tree house for everyone to enjoy, everyone but Stinky Winky. Enjoy the story and watch the heart of your young reader open to appreciate that giving is better than greed

A Guide to Old English has established itself as the most thorough and most stimulating introduction to the language of Anglo-Saxon England. This revised edition adds ten basic texts, together with full notes and a comprehensive glossary, which convert the Guide into a self-contained course book for students beginning a study of Old English. The texts, such as Cynewulf and Cyneheard, the story of Caedmon and the conversion of Edwin, are those that have traditionally been chosen by teachers precisely becasue they offer the best introduction to the literature and culture of the time. They are arranged in order of increasing difficulty. The notes and glossary constantly refer to the grammatical explanations in the Guide, so that course is fully integrated and easy to follow.
