"In Latika's village in rural India, there are no toilets. No toilets mean that the women have to wait until night to do their business in a field. There are scorpions and snakes in the field, and germs that make people sick. For the girls in the village, no toilets mean leaving school when they reach puberty. No one in the village wants to talk about this shameful problem. But Latika has had enough. When a government representative visits their village, she sees her chance to make one of her dreams come true: the construction of public toilets, which would be safer for everybody in her village. Burying the Moon shines a light on how a lack of access to sanitation facilities affects girls and women in many parts of the world"--From the publisher's web site.

"The last memory Thomas has of his mother is the delicious poutine she made him for his fifth birthday. The next morning, she was gone. All that remained were the five candles she stuck into the concoction of French fries, gravy, and melted cheese curds. On his twelfth birthday, Thomas comes up with a plan: if he makes the biggest poutine in the world, he'll get his name into the Guinness World Records. Maybe then, his mother will take notice and come back home"--Back cover.
