Then there were shouts and the pounding of feet, and the Socs jumped up and left me lying there, gasping. I lay there and wondered what in the world was happening—people were jumping over me and running by me and I was too dazed to figure it out. Then someone had me under the armpits and was hauling me to my feet. It was Darry.

"Are you all right, Ponyboy?”

He was shaking me and I wished he’d stop. I was dizzy enough anyway. I could tell it was Darry though—partly because of the voice and partly because Darry’s always rough with me without meaning to be.

"The Secret Garden Revealed: A Journey of Growth" transports readers back to the enchanting world of Misselthwaite Manor, where beloved characters continue their extraordinary lives. One character who embarks on a remarkable journey of self-discovery is Dickon, the nature-loving and compassionate boy who possesses a unique connection with animals and the natural world.

After the events of The Secret Garden, Dickon's love for nature blossoms even further. He becomes a renowned botanist, dedicating his life to the study and preservation of rare and endangered plant species. Traveling to distant lands and remote corners of the world, Dickon unearths hidden botanical treasures and learns about the intricate ecosystems that sustain them.

During one of his expeditions to the lush rainforests of Borneo, Dickon stumbles upon a long-forgotten legend about a mythical flower said to possess incredible healing properties. Intrigued by the tale, he sets out on a quest to find this elusive flower, hoping to unlock its secrets and harness its potential for the betterment of humankind.

Dickon's journey takes him through dense jungles, across treacherous terrain, and into the company of indigenous communities with profound knowledge of the land. Along the way, he encounters unexpected allies, faces formidable challenges, and learns invaluable lessons about the delicate balance between human progress and the preservation of nature.

"The Secret Garden Revealed: A Journey of Growth" invites readers to join Dickon as he traverses uncharted territories, delving into the depths of his own soul while unraveling the mysteries of the natural world. Through his discoveries, Dickon learns that the greatest growth comes not just from nurturing the earth but also from nurturing the bonds of friendship and love that were forged within the secret garden. In this sequel, readers witness Dickon's transformation from a nature-loving boy to a wise steward of the earth, as he uncovers the power of botanical wonders and the enduring magic of the secret garden.

Amber placed the first batch of cookies on the oven rack and closed the door. "Only eight minutes till gooey, chocolate-chip goodness," she said, as she set the kitchen timer.

"Eight minutes is a lifetime when you have to wait for something this delicious!" said Jana.

"Let's watch some TV to distract ourselves." Amber grabbed the remote and flipped on the television, and before long the two were laughing hysterically at their favorite show.

Suddenly, Jana looked over at Amber. "What's that smell?"

"The cookies!" They both screamed at once. Panicking, they ran into the kitchen. The timer blared at them accusingly. Amber opened the oven door, and smoke billowed out.

"Guess we'll have to wait eight more minutes." Jana was already plopping more dough onto a clean cookie sheet.

"But this time, we watch the clock, not the TV!"

Before skiers and snowboarders hit the slopes, they need to know what routes to take down a mountain. Parks and resorts rely on ski maps to provide this information to visitors. These maps show a mountain’s topography—the arrangement of an area’s natural features—including slopes, cliffs, and forests. Along with needing to be detailed and accurate, ski maps must look visually appealing to entice people to explore the mountain.

That’s where Rad Smith comes in. He’s an artist and designer specializing in cartography, or mapmaking. He uses geographic data to craft maps that chart ski routes while also highlighting mountains’ breathtaking terrain and surrounding landscapes. Science World spoke with Smith to find out how he creates informative and beautiful maps. How did you become interested in maps and mapmaking?
I’ve been interested in the natural world my whole life. As a kid growing up in North Carolina and Georgia, I spent a lot of time outdoors. I was also a big collector of maps. Every time I got an issue of National Geographic magazine, the first thing I would do was flip through it to find the maps. When I grew up, I decided to pursue a degree in fine art. I studied painting, drawing, and sculpting. Along with giving me valuable technical skills, my education also taught me to observe things more closely.

ROUGH DRAFT: Smith works on a pencil sketch of a map.

After I graduated, I worked in graphic design. Graphic designers use visuals to communicate messages or ideas. That could include creating a logo for a company or making technical diagrams for a scientific publication. At one point, I was creating designs for ski clothing. That reminded me of my interest in the outdoors. Soon after, I made my first location maps for an outdoor magazine using watercolor paints. I loved it! Then I got a job at an environmental consulting firm and spent 20 years making maps for experts like biologists and historians. Now, I make mostly ski maps.

FLYOVER: Smith finds it helpful to view an area’s features from an aircraft. How do you make your maps? It begins with a lot of conversation. I like to speak with a person who knows the area well. For a ski area, that might be a site manager or ski patroller. We talk about what parts of the landscape need emphasis. I usually visit the property and get an aerial view, either from an airplane or with a drone. If it’s a ski map, I like to ski all over
Next, I gather technical information, like satellite images and topographic data—or elevation measurements—that tells me the exact size of every feature on the mountain.
Then I create a basic line drawing. I ask myself: Are the right features being highlighted? Is it a believable scene? I show my initial drawing to the client to see if they are happy with the direction. Then I create a more detailed pencil sketch. Once that’s approved, I bring it to life with watercolors. I paint buildings, trees, and valleys. From start to finish, a map can take two to three months. TOURIST ATTRACTION: Smith drew this map, which shows Big White Ski Resort in Canada. If you could make a map of any place, where would it be? I’ve never mapped anything underwater. That’s a special type of mapmaking called bathymetric mapping. I would love to map the terrain of the ocean floor. So far, only about 20 percent of the ocean floor has been accurately mapped—that means we know more about the surface of the moon than we do about the seafloor! One thing I love about maps is that they can take anybody anywhere without them having to go to that place. So I think mapping somewhere that most people never get to see would be really exciting.

JOB PROFILE: MAPMAKER
Median Salary: $69,000
Educational Requirements: Mapmaking often requires a college-level understanding of geography or geographic information systems (GIS)—computer software that captures and displays visual data about the Earth’s surface. Courses in visual design, drawing, and painting are also useful. Gearing Up: Build a portfolio of your own by creating maps of places that interest you. You can draw maps by hand or using computer software.

While both Lord Byron’s “Adieu, Adieu! My Native Shore” and John Masefield’s “Sea Fever” are both about the sea, which sentence best sums up their thematic differences?

While “Sea Fever” is about love, “Adieu, Adieu! My Native Shore” is about the loss of love and loneliness.

While “Sea Fever” focuses on the sea as representing a joyous adventure, “Adieu, Adieu! My Native Shore” is about the sadness of leaving home.

While “Sea Fever” focuses on the deterioration of a home, “Adieu, Adieu! My Native Shore” is about the symbolic freedom of the sea.

While “Sea Fever” is about the symbolic freedom of the sea, “Adieu, Adieu! My Native Shore” is about the symbolic freedom of the shore.
