The Letters are Lost

by Lisa Campbell Ernst 

Easy ERNST 

Once upon a time, all the letters of the alphabet were together. But now they're lost! One showed up in the Bath. There was one under a Hat, another one on a Quilt, and even one in the Sandbox. Where are the rest? Readers will delight in finding out in this vibrant, charming introduction to the alphabet. 


The Scarlet Letter

by Nathaniel Hawthorn 

HAWTHORNE 

When Hester Prynne gives birth to her daughter, a child out of wedlock, her life takes a dark turn. The scarlet letter "A" for adultery condemns Hester to live a life of shame and isolation in a community that treats her as an outcast. While Hester and her daughter Pearl struggle to survive in a hostile, oppressive society, the mysterious and brooding Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale fights his own inner demons, hiding his connection to Hester. Could he be another enemy of Hester or her secret partner in sin? 


The Mighty Silent E

by Kimberlee Gard 

Easy GARD 

Little e is sure he could be a hero—he even has the cape to prove it! But at school, he is so quiet, he just doesn’t stand out. That is, until one day when Little e doesn’t show up to class. The other letters don’t even notice he’s gone at first, but when c, a, and k try to form a word for dessert, they realize that no matter what they do, they can’t make it work. The whole class is in an uproar! Without their silent friend, what are they going to do? Will Little e finally get his chance to come to the rescue?
