Paul Fleischman Book order (chronological)

'Such dir aus, was dir am besten gefällt. Dann erzähle ich dir die Geschichte dazu', ermuntert der alte Mann seine kleine Urenkelin. So beginnt dieses Buch, das die Geschichte eines abenteuerlichen Lebens erzählt. Der Urgroßvater hat erst spät Lesen und Schreiben gelernt. Da er aber einTagebuch führen wollte, hatte er zu sammeln begonnen: Ein Olivenkern erinnert an die Kindheit und den Hunger in Italien, eine Bordkarte an die lange Schiffsreise auf dem Unterdeck nach Amerika. Andere Dinge erzählen davon, wie schwer es für die Familie war, in der fremden Welt Fuß zufassen, und vom Glück des Angekommenseins. So passt ein ganzes Menschenleben in eine Kiste voller Streichholzschachteln.

Accompanied by illustrations, the story highlights Wesley's imaginative journey as he learns to harness the wonders of nature.

A vacant lot, rat-infested and filled with garbage, looked like no place for a garden. Especially to a neighborhood of strangers where no one seems to care. Until one day, a young girl clears a small space and digs into the hard-packed soil to plant her precious bean seeds. Suddenly, the soil holds promise: To Curtis, who believes he can win back Lateesha's heart with a harvest of tomatoes; to Virgil's dad, who sees a fortune to be made from growing lettuce; and even to Maricela, sixteen and pregnant, wishing she were dead. Thirteen very different voices -- old, young, Haitian, Hispanic, tough, haunted, and hopeful -- tell one amazing story about a garden that transforms a neighborhood. Chosen as a state and citywide read in communities across the country: Vermont Racine, WI Tampa, FL Newburgh, NY Boca Raton, FL
