Windows to Adventure

Autor Claudia J. Alexander
en Paperback – 13 feb 2015
While exploring the old orchard after school, Angie and Rashad debate a vocabulary word they have to define for homework: "majesty." Is it greatest: 'power'? 'age' 'beauty' or 'size'? In the orchard, they discover a magical creature - an old, broken down window calling itself 'AboGado.' When AboGado volunteers to take them places, Rashad readily agrees, while Angie is not so sure, wanting a little more information about the safe uses of the creature's abilities. She agrees to one trip as a trial. AboGado takes them to visit mountains to explore their word-assignment. Ancient Denali is reclusive, hiding behind his clouds, while Fuji is vain about his beauty. Mauna Kea (the baby of the bunch age-wise) complains about not being taken seriously as the world's biggest, while Kilimanjaro offers his opinion about both 'biggest', and a comment about 'tallest, ' with a recommendation that they visit Everest. Before they decide, AboGado takes them to see Olympus Mons, on Mars, Maxwell Montes, on Venus, and Rheasilvia, on asteroid Vesta. There is, of course, no answer to this question, but the mountains clarify aspects of the word. Upon their safe return, Angie assumes custody of the magical creature. With foreword by Dr. Chris Russell, leader of the Dawn Mission to asteroids Vesta and Ceres. A glossary of technical terms, and index, are included. Dr. Yvonne Pendleton astronomer] "The book concept is spectacular The series is amazing I love this little character, AboGado (I know his NUMBER ), and that the science that comes through loud and clear. The images are the perfect, mesmerizing addition to the creative story. On behalf of children everywhere, and the lucky parents who will read these stories multiple times, thank you."
