* National Jewish Book Award Winner * Green Mountain Book Award Nominee * Sydney Taylor Book Award Winner *In this thrilling paranormal YA romance debut steeped in folklore, two estries--owl-shifting female vampires from Jewish tradition--face New York's monstrous underworld to save the girl one of them loves with help from the boy one of them fears before they are, all of them, lost forever.Clara loves rules. Rules are what have kept her and her sister, Molly, alive--or, rather, undead--for over a century. Work their historic movie theater by day. Shift into an owl under the cover of night. Feed on men in secret. And never fall in love.Molly is in love. And she's tired of keeping her girlfriend, Anat, a secret. If Clara won't agree to bend their rules a little, then she will bend them herself.Boaz is cursed. He can't walk two city blocks without being cornered by something undead. At least at work at the theater, he gets to flirt with Clara, wishing she would like him back.When Anat vanishes and New York's monstrous underworld emerges from the shadows, Clara suspects Boaz, their annoyingly cute box office attendant, might be behind it all.But if they are to find Anat, they will need to work together to face demons and the hungers they would sooner bury. Clara will have to break all her rules--of love, of life, and of death itself--before her rules break everyone she loves.In this stand-alone debut, A. R. Vishny interweaves mystery, romance, and lore to create an unputdownable story about those who have kept to the shadows for far too long.

Culloden to Sydney Town is a work of historical fiction. It covers the century from the Lovat family's move from the Scottish Highlands to its arrival in New South Wales. The story begins with the defeat of the Jacobite army at Culloden on the 16th of April 1746, a day of devastating loss for the Highlander cause for freedom from English rule. It is also a day of death and rebirth for this Scottish family. The story ends with the arrival in Sydney Town of two brothers, great grandsons of a fallen Jacobite hero, in 1837. Members of the family move to England, Ireland and Persia, where their Highland culture is challenged by prejudice and religious difference. One child joins the British Army and serves in the Americas in the period leading to the War of Independence, struggling between loyalty to the British cause and sympathy for the American quest for freedom. Another family member joins the Royal Navy and travels on the Third Fleet to New South Wales in 1791, challenged by the spectre of an alien force invading other people's lands and the plight of the convicts. It is his own sons who make their way to New South Wales half a century later to establish themselves as pioneers in the colony, one as a teacher, the other as a clergyman. The story covers issues of love, loyalty and betrayal, as well as cultural and religious difference. The key characters are inserted into historical events and the lives of real people, including Scottish nobles, American founding fathers and early governors of New South Wales. The novel captures a slice of history marked by exploration, the discovery of new lands and the clash between old and new cultures.

Languages of Sydney

This project is dedicated to all language teachers and learners around the world. When politics seems to be uncertain and languages education seems to be a luxury available and accessible only to some learners, it is even more important to provide the simplest tools for all stakeholders to think and talk about languages.In today's multicultural classrooms, educators are increasingly entrusted with the education of plurilingual students whose linguistic identities have rarely been foregrounded in classroom interactions. In order to address the ways of knowing and learning of our diverse student population, it is imperative that educators recognise and incorporate the linguistic and cultural heritage of the students in their classes. One way to examine beliefs, values and meanings regarding language learning and linguistic identity is for participants to map language experiences to body silhouettes and to record, through narratives, how their attitudes and perceptions are affected by their own language and cultural background. To this end, this action research project required student-teachers, who were undertaking a unit of study on multiculturalism and education, to reflect on what meanings are constructed, the cultural/linguistic influences on these constructions, and how these constructions guided their thoughts, behaviours and worldviews implicit in their linguistic identities. Hence, this action research project worked with students as reflective practitioners to document their experiences with language - both languages that are part of their heritage and those which they undertook as part of their formal learning requirements. This project includes a toolkit that can be used with learners of any age, cultural, linguistic and educational contexts. The ideas presented in the tool kit can act as an extension of the body silhouettes to further extend student expression of shared language and cultural experiences.The authors are language / literacy professionals who are themselves migrants to Sydney. They have brought their language and cultural heritages with them to Australia and marvel at the diversity of languages and people who learn, speak and use these languages. They believe that the people and their passion about languages and cultures combine to make Sydney a great metropolis.

When Pliv, who claimed to be a "Bulgarian," appeared in that travel agency office in 1993, no one could have predicted that Sydney would fall in love with him, or, more incredibly, he with her. From the start, Pliv was, let’s say, different. For openers, he dressed like a doofus, didn’t feel pain, and never seemed to eat. Also, he spoke perfect English but read at the first grade level. All Pliv wanted was someone to escort him to five U.S. cities in five days. The bizarre events that followed changed everyone. Forever. It seems safe to theorize that after reading The Transmogrification of Sydney Pellegrini, readers will begin to regard their microwave display panel as neither clock nor timer.
