Yet it is all too true. With the publication of his first children's book in 1987, the award-winning \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eRedwall\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, Jacques' fresh talent has received exceptional praise from reviewers in the United States and England. Newbery Award winner Lloyd Alexander called it \"a fine work, literate, witty, filled with the excitement of genuine storytelling. Young people will surely be captivated. I hope they give their elders a chance to share the delights.\"\u003cp\u003eA well-known radio personality in his native Liverpool--as well as an actor, stand-up comic, and playwright--Brian Jacques was the host of \"Jakestown\" on BBC Radio Merseyside. Ever the performer, Jacques was well-known for applying his acting and entertainment background to his lively presentations to legions of young fans at schools across the United States and England.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrian Jacques\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Liverpool, England on June 15th, 1939. Along with forty percent of the population of Liverpool, his ancestral roots are in Ireland, County Cork to be exact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe grew up in the area around the Liverpool docks. His interest in adventure stories began at an early age with reading the books of: Daniel Defoe, Sir Henry Rider Haggard, Arthur Conan Doyle, Sir Thomas Malory, Robert Michael Ballantyne, Robert Louis Stevenson, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and Kenneth Grahame. He attended St. John's School, an inner city school that had its playground on the roof. On his first day at St. John's, at the age of ten, he had an experience that marked his potential as a writer. When given an assignment of writing a story about animals, he wrote about the bird that cleaned a crocodile's teeth. The teacher could not, and would not, believe that a ten year old could write that well. When young Brian refused to falsely say that he had copied the story, he was caned as \"a liar\". He had always loved to write, but it was only then, that he realized that he had a talent for writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome teachers at St. John's proved to be good role models. As Mr. Jacques recalls: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"My favourite teacher was Mr. Austin Thomas. He looked like Lee Marvin. Big Man. A Captain in World War II. He came to school on a big bush bike with the haversack on back. He was a man's man. Always fair. I was fourteen at the time when Mr. Thomas introduced the class to poetry and Greek literature. (Because of him, I saved seven shillings and sixpence to buy \u003cb\u003eThe Iliad\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eThe Odyssey\u003c\/b\u003e at this dusty used book shop.)\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis interest in poetry extended to Wordsworth, Tennyson, and Goldsmith.It was also at St. John's that Brian met a teacher, Alan Durband (who also taught two Beatles, Paul McCartney and George Harrison), who, more than thirty years later would bring about a major change in his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter Brian finished school at fifteen, he set out to find adventure as a merchant seaman. He travelled to many far away ports, including New York, Valparaiso, San Francisco, and Yokohama. Tiring of the lonely life of a sailor, he returned to Liverpool where he worked as a railway fireman, a longshoreman, a long-distance truck driver, a bus driver, a boxer, a bobby (Police Constable 216D), a postmaster, and a stand-up comic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePenguin mourns the passing of celebrated children's book author Brian Jacques\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Brian Jacques \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47278811119773,"sku":"9780142302378","price":14.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_36bbfc3a-c164-4a8a-ad2c-6eeddcc5a0d0.jpg?v=1759858441"},{"product_id":"hedgehogs-dont-wear-underwear-9781250814388","title":"Hedgehogs Don't Wear Underwear","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times-\u003c\/i\u003ebestselling Marissa Valdez comes a hilariously zany and uproariously fun story of an underwear-obsessed hedgehog \u003c\/b\u003e-- \u003cb\u003eperfect for fans of \u003ci\u003eDragons Love Tacos \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eMillie Fleur's Poison Garden\u003c\/i\u003e! \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDerrière to be different with Jacques the hedgehog!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJacques is a little French hedgehog with a BIG secret -- he loves wearing underwear!

The scientists say she's a genius and put her through test after test. Clementine is proud of being a good lab mouse, but she's lonely. Her only snatches of friendship occur during her late-night visits with a chimpanzee named Rosie. When a compassionate lab technician frees Clementine, the mouse discovers an outside world full of wonders: Brussels sprouts, games of speed chess, television fame, and a chance for a real home. But for Clementine, it's not enough to be free when she knows that Rosie and the other mice are not. This tender, lively adventure story, narrated in letters from a mouse to a chimpanzee, shows us that goodness is something we have to define for ourselves--and that courage and wisdom aren't proportionate to size.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carlie Sorosiak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walker Books Us\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781536236095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Ages 9-12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e515687 \/ Always, Clementine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarlie Sorosiak\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eI\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Cosmo\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLeonard (My Life as a Cat)\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as the picture books \u003ci\u003eEverywhere with You\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by Devon Holzwarth, and \u003ci\u003eBooks Aren't for Eating\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated by Manu Montoya.
