Anna has always been the clumsy one in the family. Somehow she can never do anything right! She bumps into tables, and she can't read the blackboard at her school. Her perfect brothers and sisters call her "Awkward Anna." When Papa announces that the family is moving from Germany to Canada, Anna's heart sinks. How can she learn English when she can't even read German? Nothing could be worse than this! But when the Soldens arrive in Canada, Anna learns that there is a reason for her clumsiness. And suddenly, wonderfully, her whole world begins to change.

RATS! The town of Hamelin is overrun with them and the citizens are in a tizzy-until the mysterious Pied Piper appears, offering to solve their dilemma for a small fee.

The characters are charming, the dialog is witty, the songs are clever and fun to sing, and the fully-orchestrated SoundTrax CD is spectacular!

A chilling first-person account of activities, death, and survival in the concentration camp where sixty thousand slave laborers built V1 and V2 rockets in subterranean caves.

Who were the main architects of the translators' movement? What struggles have they waged to assert the professional nature of their work? What role do translators, interpreters and terminologists play on the Quebec linguistic scene, and in particular in the process of francization of companies? These are just some of the questions this book seeks to answer. The "language alchemists" are the translators, interpreters and terminologists who, in Quebec, break down linguistic barriers to circulate information. This history traces the evolution of these professions since 1940, when the Société des traducteurs de Montréal was founded, and renamed the Société des traducteurs du Québec in 1965. Throughout its fifty years of existence, the Société des traducteurs du Québec has been guided by a single idea, a single objective: "to gain recognition for the eminent dignity of translators".
