Sock City

Missing Town - Missing Things

Beschreibung

Sock City, a missing town of scientists and its people who were shrunk down to the size of a quarter. With a gigantic desire and need to survive they have made this world a place like no other. Sock City is protected by a dome space ship and can move at a moment's notice. The young people of 20 years or less have no idea what the real world is all about until they are recruited by SCRAT. Sock City's Retrieval Action Team is the reason for the survival of Sock City. Missing things can be found and made very useful. This town has an appreciation for human life and the love of friends and family. Life is too short and how you choose to live whether in a giant world or micro world is a question that some may have in this accidental world of Sock City.

Autor

This is the third book of the Sock City series, It's Big Time. Since the publication of Christine's first book, Sock City: Missing Town-Missing Things, it has been her pleasure to visit Franklin Elementary School teacher Tasha Hatten in North Carolina, where eighty-four children read her book and made a Sock City Village and clothing for this microscopic society for a class project recommended by Christine Carrington. For the past three years she has given a comprehension class at the prestigious Campbell University to the future teachers who read the hard copy of Sock City: Missing Town-Missing Things. Following a book signing at Barnes & Noble in Burlington, Massachusetts, Christine went to the Danvers Community Access Television, where she was interviewed by host Veronica Andrews and was compared to J. K. Rowling. Ms. Andrews stated, "You have given such a gift to so many people. It's not just a book to children but also to the parents. Everything you share with us, others learn." Christine is working on a play for a local theater in Raleigh. It all started at the age of nine when her loving mother swapped a household item for an old Royal typewriter on a local radio station. Her books contain old-fashioned values and lessons to be learned along the way instilled by her mother, who encouraged the love of family, friends, and others and always remembering to pray, have faith, and thank God. Pictures of the school, university, interview, and "The Firefly Song," also on YouTube, can be seen on her website: www.christinecarringtonsockcity.com
