Jacob's landing

Greer, Daphne


"Coping with the recent death of his father, twelve-year-old Jacob Mosher is sent to spend the summer with his aging, estranged (and strange!) grandparents in rural Newport Landing, Nova Scotia. Reluctantly, he trades the security of his foster mum in "Upper Canada" for a blind grandfather, Frank, who dresses like a sea captain and conducts flag-raising ceremonies, and a quirky grandmother, Pearl, who sometimes forgets her dentures and has Jacob running in circles. Jacob has two short months to figure out how to deal with his ailing grandfather, the surging Avon River tides, and the family secret that's haunting his newfound grandparents. He didn't expect so much danger and mystery to be lurking in tiny Newport Landing."

The Danish elephant


You can amaze your friends by reading their thoughts. Here's a game you can do simply by asking a few questions and replacing letters with numbers. It's not magic ... it's mathematical! The educational side: This segment explains how we can still get to the same answer (4) following a sequence of precise calculations, thanks to the properties of the number 9. The result of the 5th step will always be 9, so when subtracting 5, we will always arrive at number 4, which is the letter D. Most people will think of Denmark (because there are not many recognized countries that start with letter D) and of the elephant as a big animal that begins with an E. Finally, all the elephants are gray.
