Kids are exposed to so much more than is age-appropriate these days, it's reassuring to be able to provide them with some entertainment options that you feel comfortable with and that they won't groan and roll their eyes over.

Estebanico treats us to life between the lines of the official version of the trek through this territory previously unknown to people on the other side of the Atlantic. Almost everything in the New World looks different to Estebanico, from the man to whom he is indentured, to the nobles, the soldiers and the Indians, to the entire ordeal itself. And that's how we get his account, from what Ralph Ellison once was called the lower frequencies of experience. That's how he came to be indentured to one of the leaders of the 1527 Spanish expedition. His story stands apart from that of the Spaniards as he tells how he grew up in a country worn down by war and how he sold himself into slavery so his family might avoid dying of starvation. The novel is called "The Moor's Account," and Alan Cheuse has our review.ĪLAN CHEUSE, BYLINE: A slave called Estebanico, a dark skinned Moroccan man, a Muslim, emerges as the narrator. And now, novelist Laila Lalami has written a new version of this story from a perspective that we rarely hear - a slave. One of the members of the expedition wrote a famous account of the disasters that befell them. In the 16th century, a Spanish conquistador set sail for the New World in hopes of claiming part of it for the Spanish crown. ![]() ![]() ![]() Knowing her time is nearly up, Miranda spends her last few hours alive calling up the pilot of a contaminated plane that's parked on the runway of Severn City Airport, begging the pilot not to let any passengers out. Although the series' earlier Miranda-centric episode ended on an ambiguous note, with seemingly-still-healthy Miranda hiding herself in her hotel room, she's already coughing in her first scene here. 'Unbroken Circle' features the resolution to Miranda Carroll's storyline, the woman who wrote the graphic novel that drives so much of this show. Considering that the Traveling Symphony's conductor, Sarah, is currently in a serious life-threatening condition, fans hoped Jeevan would be called over to Severn City Airport, so he and Kirsten could finally find closure. The penultimate episode ends by jumping to the present day, showing how Jeevan has become an actual doctor who regularly visits towns to provide his aid and expertise. ![]() ![]() ![]() A stunning accomplishment, A Thousand Splendid Suns is a haunting, heartbreaking, compelling story of an unforgiving time, an unlikely friendship, and an indestructible love. With heart-wrenching power and suspense, Hosseini shows how a woman's love for her family can move her to shocking and heroic acts of self-sacrifice, and that in the end it is love, or even the memory of love, that is often the key to survival. As they endure the ever escalating dangers around them-in their home as well as in the streets of Kabul-they come to form a bond that makes them both sisters and mother-daughter to each other, and that will ultimately alter the course not just of their own lives but of the next generation. ![]() Born a generation apart and with very different ideas about love and family, Mariam and Laila are two women brought jarringly together by war, by loss and by fate. "- Newsweek Khaled Hosseini returns with a beautiful, riveting, and haunting novel that confirms his place as one of the most important literary writers today. "Just as good, if not better, than Khaled Hosseini's best-selling first book, The Kite Runner. Propelled by the same superb instinct for storytelling that made The Kite Runner a beloved classic, the #1 New York Times bestseller A Thousand Splendid Suns is at once an incredible chronicle of thirty years of Afghan history and a deeply moving story of family, friendship, faith, and the salvation to be found in love. ![]() ![]() Online, Daisy shares some of her greatest fears with TJ, but in person, Jack and Daisy are spending more time together. ![]() But when he’s finally afforded the opportunity to show her a different side of himself, he’s sucked into the plan before he has time for second thoughts.

They’re dynamic, full of action, and the characters look like their counterparts from the show. Many of the illustrations are pulled directly from scenes from the show. It takes extra time, even more if you want to make your own Gesso, but it usually does a good job. If you really want to use something that bleeds through, you can prime the page using Clear Gesso. Unfortunately there are pictures on the front and back of each page, so using markers or pens that tend to bleed through are not recommended for this book. You can use an x-acto knife to cut the pages out or very carefully pull the pages apart if you want to remove the pages from the book to color. ![]() For the binding, the book is glued together and the pages are not perforated. ![]() ![]() ![]() The threat of having to fight four invisible dudes in an enclosed area actually holds weight because close quarters combat (at least, before Snake becomes a hand-to-hand master in later Metal Gear Solid games) is not Snake’s strong suit.Ĭontrast this with something like Monolith’s FEAR, where your character can jump-kick marines in the face while firing pistols from each hand. In the levels leading up to this big moment, Snake has fled from dozens of baddies or mown about twenty down with Meryl at his side, but he’s never been trapped alone in a small and inescapable space. The elevator scene was and remains legitimately terrifying because Snake is vulnerable. Since MGS1 is a stealth game rather than a balls-out action brawler, threats against Snake’s life have more meaning. A lot of the scares come from the fact that Snake is, by nature, a disempowered character. ![]() ![]() Young Adult Fiction / Action & Adventure.Scott Westerfeld chose him to illustrate the series after finding his art online. ![]() He has also illustrated other books, as well as drawn illustrations and concept art for video games, films, magazines and television.
