It's great having lots of things to play with . . . but only if you have someBODY to play with too. The little old lady in this book needs a friend, so one day she picks up the phone and cries, "Help! There's a wolf in my house!" Zookeepers, police and firefighters all race to the rescue but when the little old lady cries wolf once too often, she gets some visitors who are much bigger and hairier than she had expected!
A boy tending sheep on a lonely mountainside thinks it a fine joke to cry "wolf" and watch the people come running, until the day a wolf is really there and no one answers his call. Includes a word puzzle and reading tips for parents.
The Girl Who Cried "Wolf!" is the heroic story of Nancy Jensen's journey through mental illness to recovery. Raised in small-town Colorado Nancy learned early to depend on church support. A challenging family life combined with further challenges in school left her searching for God and family elsewhere. Her search led her to Newton, Kansas, where she found a home first in a communal church before spending just over a year at Kaufman House. Kaufman House was supposed to be a great and progressive place for mentally ill. It was not. When she tried to blow the whistle, she found that no one believed her. She was the girl who cried "Wolf!" Almost 20 years later Arlan and Linda Kaufman were taken to trial. With the help of Nancy's testimony the federal government found both guilty. Since then Nancy has worked to pass a law preventing such oversight in the future, received the prestigious Voice Award, and is currently a member of the Sedgwick County Mental Health Advisory Board. After a lifetime of mental illness she has taken control of her treatment including eliminating medications and dropping-off government support in order to work full-time.
A beautiful coming-of-age story, perfect for fans of John Green and Nicola Yoon. The Girl Who Cried Wolf is a story about believing in something, whether love, faith or simply yourself. 'The road is more difficult for some, but that does not make it less extraordinary or beautiful or worthwhile' Anna Winters is beautiful, reckless and entirely self-absorbed. She spends more time thinking up reasons to call in sick to school than she does studying for her A levels. She shies away from her family, from responsibility - from anything in fact that doesn't involve peach cider and endless parties with her friend Jules. Anna assumes that her headaches are an inconvenient symptom of her wild lifestyle, until a doctor tells her that she has cancer... As a terrifying black cloud descends upon her, Anna finds solace in Michael, another patient in the oncology ward. Michael shows Anna a chink of light in the darkness and sees beauty behind her illness and loves her sassy wit. He makes Anna forget she is ill. Michael recovers; but Anna's prospects worsen. And in emergency surgery, as she hovers between life and death, she is given a stark glimpse of why her life is so broken, and as she realizes the simple fulfillment of being truly content, fears it may now be too late...
