Satiche Song
by Ravindra KolheShe should have been punished for the death of Begum's brother. Though she was punished, Begum could not be satisfied.

He lauded the art of polygamy and offered his family a big deal.

Sattavisavitun Nau Gele
by Ravindra KolheUsing the general knowledge of constellations, Birbal has answered the question of Creation here. Birbal thinks that why he got twenty-seven and nine points for subtraction. If the king had to only consider subtraction, he would have asked for any other number.

That is why he found the context behind the number twenty and nine and answered the correct answer.

Saturday Boy
by David FlemingIf there's one thing I've learned from comic books, it's that everybody has a weakness--something that can totally ruin their day without fail. For the wolfman it's a silver bullet. For Superman it's Kryptonite. For me it was a letter. With one letter, my dad was sent back to Afghanistan to fly Apache helicopters for the U.S. army. Now all I have are his letters. Ninety-one of them to be exact. I keep them in his old plastic lunchbox--the one with the cool black car on it that says Knight Rider underneath. Apart from my comic books, Dad's letters are the only things I read more than once. I know which ones to read when I'm down and need a pick-me-up. I know which ones will make me feel like I can conquer the world. I also know exactly where to go when I forget Mom's birthday. No matter what, each letter always says exactly what I need to hear. But what I want to hear the most is that my dad is coming home.

Saturday is Pattyday
by Lesléa NewmanNewman's lesbian family story, "Heather Has Two Mommies" (1990), created a furor when it was included in the New York Public Schools' Rainbow Curriculum. Now Newman tells a story of how a child feels when his two mommies separate and break up the family. As in any divorce, Frankie feels upset and anxious when Patty, his "other mom," moves into her own apartment. The first time he visits her and they picnic in the park, he cries and talks about his fears. "I'm scared. I don't want to get divorced," he says. Patty hugs him and reassures him that she will always, always, always be his mom. "Only grown-ups get divorced. Not kids," she says. From now on, he will visit her every week--Saturday is Pattyday. The bibliotherapy is reassuring, especially since the words and Hegel's expressive watercolor pictures are frank about the painful separation as well as about the parents' enduring love for their child. --Hazel Rochman (Booklist) The grammar is a bit off in this one. Good concepts, but not up to Newman's usual standards.... Still valuable in the children's library. Includes picture descriptions. Other books by Leslia Newman are available from Bookshare. This file should make an excellent embossed braille copy.

Saturdays And Teacakes
by Chris K. Soentpiet Lester L. LaminackWhen I was nine or ten years old I couldn't wait for Saturdays. I got up early, dressed, and rolled my bicycle out of the garage. <P> So begins author Lester Laminack's poetic memory of the adult who made him feel incredibly special-his grandmother. Every Saturday, the narrator, a young boy, rides his bicycle up and down country roads past farms, a graveyard, and a filling station, until he reaches his beloved Mammaw's house. She is waiting for him. While she picks tomatoes, he pushes the lawnmower through the dew-wet grass. Afterwards, he always helps her make teacakes from scratch, breaking the eggs and stirring the batter. But the best part, he remembers, is eating the hot, sweet cakes fresh from the oven. Children will understand the special relationship of the narrator and his grandmother. Set in a small town in the Leave It to Beaver days of the mid-sixties, the story evokes a gentler and more innocent time and place. Young readers will almost hear the sounds of bicycle wheels on gravel and the criiick-craaack-criiick of a metal glider in Laminack's richly detailed prose. Award-winning illustrator Chris Soentpiet's images beautifully capture the relationship and the place, perfectly depicting the simplicity of an earlier time.

Satélite
by Cinta Garcia de la Rosa Lee DavidsonGrant Bradley sólo tiene una pequeña cosa interponiéndose en el camino de su felicidad: la Muerte. Grant acaba de saber que nunca se supuso que sobreviviría al cáncer o que viviría felices para siempre con su prometida, Tate; él estaba destinado a ser un Satélite incluso antes de que naciera. No hace falta decir que ser un glorificado ángel de la guarda de alguien que no conoce es tan enervante como el entorno utópico de Progresión. Para empeorar las cosas, el mentor de Grant, Willow, tiene tantos comentarios sarcásticos como tatuajes, y un molesto hábito de retener información pertinente. Grant, no queriendo hacer otra cosa más que estar con Tate, se niega a creer que éste es su destino. Así que cuando se corre la voz sobre lo rápidamente que está triunfando, Grant le atribuye el mérito al implacable entrenamiento de Willow. Ella intenta matarle, después de todo... o lo que quiera que sea el equivalente a la muerte después de la muerte. Grant no puede negar que, físicamente, parece estar avanzando mucho más rápido que sus compañeros, pero los secretos que mantiene demuestran lo contrario. Un secreto en particular, el más peligroso, debe permanecer escondido a toda costa; si alguien descubre que ha encontrado un modo de volver a Tate, sus oportunidades de protegerla se verán destruidas.
