Description
The steel pan is the only musical instrument to have been invented in the 20th century. The story begins in Trinidad, in the Caribbean, where the people first begin to use all kinds of metal objects to make music. They collected a wide variety of assorted tins and shaped them and tuned them until they were turned into musical instruments. From Trinidad, the mighty steel orchestra has spread across the world. Includes a CD of Sterling's Angels (children's steel band led by Pan Maestro Sterling Betancourt) playing a range of music.

Bibliography

Hurricane is the gripping story of a natural disaster and the thirteen year-old Kingston boy who lives to tell the tale.

Holed up in their home, Joe Brown, his sister Mary and their parents wait for the eye of the hurricane to pass over them. Outside, a terrifying wind turns trees to splinters, darkness swallows the land and torrential rains lash the roof.

Inside it is warm, dry, a home. A family huddled together for survival. But the storm hasn't passed yet, and all Joe and his family can do is worry, and wait, and hope.

Praise for the original 1960s edition:

""Strongly recommended."" The School Librarian

Hurricane was awarded the German Children's Book Prize 1967.

Bibliography

Ricky Thomas, brother Doug and sister Polly spend their summer holidays in the coffee walk surrounding their grandparents' country home in Dallas, Jamaica. There they play games of 'Three on a Desert Island'.

It's a sunbaking day in July. Above the children the leaves of the mango and coffee trees are drying, the thin asphalt becoming syrupy beneath their feet, the atmosphere electric with the sun's heat.

But while Ricky scouts for an observation platform for his imaginary island, the children feel it. They feel the earth itself move beneath them. Is it part of their vivid imaginationsor is it the sign of a coming earthquake?

""Strongly recommended."" The School Librarian

""...a cleverly constructed story of mounting tension... "" Junior Bookshelf

""This is a fine story, a worthy successor to Hurricane ...' British Book News
