About this deal

As a woman it is VERY easy to relate to doing to much for others. We all do it in some capacity. Where is the line? When is it TOO much? How much should you sacrifice? Through Martha a great discussion about self-care could be explored and really help readers think about their own lives. Common Sense Media found the movie adaption "appropriate for all ages and doesn't contain anything questionable." [8] Theatre [ edit ] I wonder about a near-drowning. High tide in a cave is dangerous but as far as I know, water merely inches up on an open beach enough to wet feet. Even the cave had a ledge where Martha’s shoes stayed dry overnight. I enjoyed the story’s goals and do consider the reason that Zelda was driven away from her family plausible.

The penguin looks sad when it first arrives at the boy’s house… Try to find words (synonyms) that mean the same as ‘sad’. An extraordinary gift of a book, a tender, searching meditation on love and loss and what it means to be human. I emerged feeling as if the world around me had been made anew.” — HELEN MACDONALD, AUTHOR OF H IS FOR HAWK

Teaching Ideas and Resources:

Martha Storm works as a librarian. She constantly puts others before herself and doesn’t know how to say ‘no’ to people when they ask her to do their chores for them, including her sister. In the past I have enjoyed reading books with a library setting, so thought I would try this one. It is fun to read books that mention other books and authors that I am familiar with.

Martha Storm is a wonderfully weak protagonist who is confronted with her past and has to take a stand in her own life. She is endearing and I'd be hard pressed to find a reader that didn't fall in love with her quirks. She works at the Sandshift Library and a book comes into her possession with a dedication from her grandmother (except she supposedly died three years previously...) While they were travelling to the South Pole, the boy and penguin saw ‘good weather and bad’. Use this as a starting point for learning about different types of weather. Librarian Martha Storm has a problem with saying no. She cared for her parents for many years before they passed away and now she continues to put others before herself and receives no appreciation whatsoever for it, especially from her sister Lillian. In fact, it seems everyone takes advantage of Martha's kindess. A boy opens his front door and to his surprise, he finds a penguin. Deciding the penguin was lost, the boy sets out to help the sad-looking bird find its way home. We also find out how she changed her life, trusted people, tried to forget her father’s negativity, and came out of her shell.The drama that unfolds is ho-hum, nothing I haven't read or seen in novels or television shows before. A boy is determined to help a lost penguin find its home but discovers it may not be lost after all. Lost and Found gives you the opportunity to promote:
