Al Capone Does My Shirts has become an instant classic for all kids to read! Today I moved to Alcatraz, a twelve-acre rock covered with cement, topped with bird turd and surrounded by water. I'm not the only kid who lives here. There are twenty-three other kids who live on the island because their dads work as guards or cooks or doctors or electricians for the prison, like my dad does. And then there are a ton of murderers, rapists, hit men, con men, stickup men, embezzlers, connivers, burglars, kidnappers and maybe even an innocent man or two, though I doubt it. The convicts we have are the kind other prisons don't want. I never knew prisons could be picky, but I guess they can. You get to Alcatraz by being the worst of the worst. Unless you're me. I came here because my mother said I had to.

Download or read book One Step Behind written by Henning Mankell and published by New Press/ORIM. This book was released on 2002-02-01 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sweden’s most tenacious detective races to unlock the twisted logic behind a madman’s crimes: “Lyrical, meticulous, and stunningly suspenseful” (St. Petersburg Times). On Midsummer’s Eve, three friends gather in a secluded meadow in Sweden. In the beautifully clear twilight, they don eighteenth-century costumes and begin a secret role-play. But an uninvited guest soon brings their performance to a gruesome conclusion. His approach is careful; his aim is perfect. Three bullets, three corpses. And his plans have only just begun to take shape. Meanwhile, Inspector Kurt Wallander is just back from vacation. Constantly fatigued, he soon learns his health is at risk—but there’s no time for rest when a fellow officer is murdered. Wallander soon discovers that the two grisly crimes are connected. A serial killer is on the loose, and the only lead is a photograph of a strange woman no one in Sweden seems to know. Forced to dig into the personal life of a trusted colleague, Wallander steps into a nightmare worse than any he could have imagined. Can he find his way out of the darkness before it’s too late? A pulse-pounding thriller and an incisive investigation into the mysteries of human nature, One Step Behind is “typical of the dense, intricate intelligence that Mankell brings to detection and crime writing” (The Washington Post Book World).

Book excerpt: Esta does not give much thought to taking the young owlet home. She can raise it; of that she is sure. The people of her village, on the other hand, find that this confirms what they always thought. The strange girl who seems able to understand what others are thinking and feeling can also tame the wild. The daughter of the local midwife and healer, Esta is seen as something special and perhaps other. It is concluded that she must be a creature of the night, shrouded in whispers of superstition, witchcraft, and magic. Rumors swell to the point of peril, and for Esta, to the point of pain. Tragedy befalls her village with the arrival of outsiders who search for “the seer,” but no one knows to what end. Yes, Esta has been gifted with abilities she has tried hiding from others. Now that her secret is out, she is determined to follow her own fate, on her own terms, deriving power from compassion and insight rather than physical strength alone.

Book excerpt: A compelling and inventive novel set in a world where science and magic are at odds, by Robin McKinley, the Newbery-winning author of The Hero and the Crown and The Blue Sword, as well as the classic fantasy titles Beauty, Chalice, Spindle’s End, Pegasus and Sunshine Maggie knows something’s off about Val, her mom’s new husband. Val is from Oldworld, where they still use magic, and he won’t have any tech in his office-shed behind the house. But—more importantly—what are the huge, horrible, jagged, jumpy shadows following him around? Magic is illegal in Newworld, which is all about science. The magic-carrying gene was disabled two generations ago, back when Maggie’s great-grandmother was a notable magician. But that was a long time ago. Then Maggie meets Casimir, the most beautiful boy she has ever seen. He’s from Oldworld too—and he’s heard of Maggie’s stepfather, and has a guess about Val’s shadows. Maggie doesn’t want to know . . . until earth-shattering events force her to depend on Val and his shadows. And perhaps on her own heritage. In this dangerously unstable world, neither science nor magic has the necessary answers, but a truce between them is impossible. And although the two are supposed to be incompatible, Maggie’s discovering the world will need both to survive. “A delightful read.” —Publishers Weekly “Bound to appeal.” —Kirkus Reviews
Book Synopsis Laela and the Moonline by : Lisa Perskie Rodriguez
Download or read book Laela and the Moonline written by Lisa Perskie Rodriguez and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2022-02-25 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Surprises unfold in the predictable. . . . You can never fully foresee the foreseen.” Long ago, the four tribes of Aerizon lived as one people, but the time of unity has passed. Now, three of the tribes collectively called the Treedles inhabit the forest canopy. The fourth tribe, the Mergons, live on the ground and pose a constant threat to the Treedles. Laela is a young Treedlegirl coming of age in the treetop realm of Aerizon. Her destiny, as yet unrevealed, will cast her in the role of catalyst for epic change. Laela grows increasingly restless with the cultural limits and expectations for young Treedle women. In her quest to understand and express her authentic self, she faces soul-transforming psychological and physical tests. Unlike Treedle women before her, she pushes back against traditional gender and cultural boundaries. Propelled by mysterious forces, she ventures into the forest and onto the lands below, breaking ground for a new era. As she evolves spiritually, Laela faces mental challenges, redefining her perception of the impact one person can have on the world. Finally, she gains the courage to raise her voice in defense of herself and her people. Seekers of truth and justice will relate to how Laela grapples with the challenge of finding her guiding values. Book Review: “A teenager seeks adventure and transcendence in this YA fantasy debut. Laela is a Treedle who lives in the elevated canopy world of Aerizon. She's about to transition from girlhood to womanhood, and in the Pyuva clan, that means a life focused on the home and child rearing. But Laela yearns to continue hunting and exploring the wider realm, activities reserved for boys and men. Complicating her feelings is an attraction to her handsome and popular Pyuva classmate Vito. . . . Perskie delivers a lushly crafted tale that embraces the chosen one trope in unexpected ways. Laela will earn her place in readers' hearts with her relatable bristling at Treedle conformity. . . . The details about Treedle culture—including Laela's stay in the Enclosure during her transition—make the hero's transgressions later in the narrative all the more astonishing. . . .” — Kirkus Reviews

Book excerpt: On the bank of the Mesta river there is a place, where Ive left my tribute to Bulgarian past. It isnt neither the khans time nor the time of the rulers, who have multiplied the territories of the country. Its survival time. With my senses of a person from other worlds, I find that sensitiveness of the soul, which Id recognize only by its traces. These are children. If there are lost souls in the world, they will find each other not to be lonely in their loneliness. And to take the real road, which will bring the freedom for themselves and for all Bulgarians. Its time to teach our children how to walk this road. I didnt know the land of the people without homes, names, families. I learnt about them when I stayed on the bank of the Mesta river in an autumn the villagers were harvesting the remains of their children among the grasses, and the ploughed land wasnt black but red. With blood. Then, for the first time, I learnt that it wasnt the colour of victory but of death. I didnt know it. In an autumn like that, a lot of years later, the villagers harvested the fruit of their happiness - their children, who became linked by marriage to conceive children. For me it means Bulgarians have survived. Again. It is a book about the truths of slavery and fortitude. After being a part of the Ottoman Empire for 500 years Bulgarians restore unity to their country from the ashes of the bones and blood of many ruined generations. And again they begin to set up their home with families and children as ever.
