The Creative Connection

Moose 非常喜歡布偶，不但自己動手縫製，還把縫紉小屋改造成 Stuffie Stand，向鄰居販售自己的作品。Moose 做的布偶可愛又簡潔，柔軟度也恰到好處，生意愈來愈好。偏偏另一位布偶高手 Mabel 的風格完全不同，她喜歡亮晶晶的裝飾，還替布偶加上帽子、鞋子、圍巾和皇冠，華麗得讓 Moose 實在無法欣賞。當訂單多到一個人忙不過來，Moose 只好學習一件不容易的事：開口請 Mabel 幫忙。Maddie Frost 以熱鬧幽默的故事，從經營布偶小店寫到意外萌生的友情，也讓孩子看見合作不必建立在「我們都一樣」之上。* “Frost’s bright, colorful cartoon illustrations are simply drawn and often amusingly over the top.

For fans of Shut Up, This Is Serious, this humorous, relatable novel gives an honest look at what it's like to fall in love for the first time...with someone you were sure you hated. High school senior Mayte has never been kissed, but it hardly matters. Her abuelita has cancer, her half sister with special needs has moved in, and college is off the table--family comes first. She keeps her problems to herself; why burden everyone she loves with more? Meanwhile, fellow senior Auggie is set on attending an elite creative writing program. But as the self-proclaimed most boring person alive, he can't exactly write the next great American novel when he's struggling to write a short story for college applications. After an awful blind date ("disaster" doesn't even begin to describe it), Mayte and Auggie are forced together by their merging social circles. The pair must at least pretend to get along...but soon they develop actual feelings. Then tragedy strikes Mayte's family. Auggie feels comp

From the author of The Genius of the System, the classic tale of Hollywood's first golden age, comes the story of its last. Thomas Schatz returns us to an era when a newly enriched movie industry rediscovered its creative energy, and indie went mainstream without losing its edge. Between 1989 and 2004, all the old studios either merged with other media giants or were swallowed up by even bigger diversified behemoths, leading to an infusion of money and fast-tracking the digital revolution. Yet even as CGI and piles of cash fueled a new breed of blockbusters--Batman and Titanic, Toy Story and The Lord of the Rings--an indie ethos permeated the industry. And at the crossroads of commodification and aesthetic vision, auteurs ranging from Steven Soderbergh and Quentin Tarantino to Sofia Coppola and Ang Lee became household names. Power Surge traces these trajectories, which increasingly clashed and commingled during the 1990s and early 2000s, resulting in nothing short of a new golden age-
