Lanterns
by Marian Wright EdelmanI am grateful beyond words for the example of the lanterns shared in this memoir whose lives I hope will illuminate my children's, your children's, and the paths of countless others coming behind.--Marian Wright Edelman, from the PrefaceMarian Wright Edelman, "the most influential children's advocate in the country" (The Washington Post), shares stories from her life at the center of this century's most dramatic civil rights struggles. She pays tribute to the extraordinary personal mentors who helped light her way: Martin Luther King, Jr., Robert F. Kennedy, Fannie Lou Hamer, William Sloane Coffin, Ella Baker, Mae Bertha Carter, and many others.She celebrates the lives of the great Black women of Bennettsville, South Carolina-Miz Tee, Miz Lucy, Miz Kate-who along with her parents formed a formidable and loving network of community support for the young Marian Wright as a Black girl growing up in the segregated South. We follow the author to Spelman College in the late 1950s, when the school was a hotbed of civil rights activism, and where, through excerpts from her honest and passionate college journal, we witness a national leader in the making and meet the people who inspired and empowered her, including Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, Howard Zinn, and Charles E. Merrill, Jr.Lanterns takes us to Mississippi in the 1960s, where Edelman was the first and only Black woman lawyer. Her account of those years is a riveting first-hand addition to the literature of civil rights: "The only person I recognized in the menacing crowd as I walked towards the front courthouse steps was [a] veteran New York Times reporter. He neither acknowledged me nor met my eyes. I knew then what it was like to be a poor Black person in Mississippi: alone." And we follow Edelman as she leads Bobby Kennedy on his fateful trip to see Mississippi poverty and hunger for himself, a powerful personal experience for the young RFK that helped awaken a nation's conscience to child hunger and poverty. Lanterns is illustrated with thirty of the author's personal photographs and includes "A Parent's Pledge" and "Twenty-five More Lessons for Life," an inspiration to all of us-parents, grandparents, teachers, religious and civic leaders-to guide, protect, and love our children every day so that they will become, in Marian Wright Edelman's moving vision, the healing agents for national transformation.
Larceny in My Blood: A Memoir of Heroin, Handcuffs, and Higher Education
by Matthew J. ParkerA fully illustrated graphic memoir of a child of the '60s who was raised into a life of crime and addiction —but graduated into freedom. Matthew Parker was in his mid-forties when he started college. He&’d been sidetracked: Eleven years were eaten up by serving time in various county jails, state penitentiaries, and federal prison. He&’d been arrested more than thirty times, racking up eight felonies in a crime career that began at age thirteen, when he started dealing pot. When he got out of prison for the last time and kicked his heroin addiction, he was determined to spend the next chapter of his life in the classroom. And he did just that, going on to complete a master&’s degree from Columbia University&’s highly competitive creative writing program.Through captivating black-and-white illustrations drawn in a distinctively primitive style, Larceny in My Blood flashes back on Parker's childhood, with memories of a loving but lawless mother teaching him that breaking the law was the way to survive. From there it moves to an account of Parker&’s lost decades, where he resorted to petty crime to support a heroin habit. After years of fighting the system, Parker sees the light and Larceny in My Blood becomes a poignant portrait of a man trying to find his way in the straight and narrow. A unique memoir, Parker&’s images and words form a mesmerizing road to redemption.

Las Estrellas Orientales
by Mark Kurlansky"Este es un clásico de Kurlansky: erudito, impredecible, compasivo, y se lee compulsivamente. . . . Una reveladora meditación sobre el deporte, la nación, y también sobre el mundo". -Junot Díaz, autor de La breve y maravillosa vida de Oscar Wao "¿Qué tienen en común Rico Carty, Alfredo Griffin, Pedro Guerrero, George Bell, Julio Franco, Juan Samuel, Sammy Sosa, Alfonso Soriano, y Robinson Canó? Que todos proceden de San Pedro de Macorís, la pequeña ciudad azucarera en la República Dominicana. ¿Una coincidencia? Difícilmente". -National Public Radio Al final de la temporada de 2010, más de ochenta y seis jóvenes y hombres de la empobrecida ciudad de San Pedro de Macorís jugaban en las Grandes Ligas -lo que significa que uno de cada seis dominicanos de las Grandes Ligas vinieron de los mismos equipos locales de los ingenios azucareros, y acudieron en masa a los Estados Unidos en busca de oportunidades, de riqueza, y de una vida mejor. Pero este viaje es también una crónica del racismo en el béisbol, de la necesidad de cambiar las costumbres sociales del deporte en la República Dominicana y en los Estados Unidos, y de las historias personales de los hombres que han buscado escapar de la pobreza jugando béisbol. En Las Estrellas Orientales, Mark Kurlansky revela el amor de dos países por un deporte, y descubre unos significados más profundos sobre lugar y identidad, tenacidad y supervivencia, colonialismo y capitalismo, pero especialmente sobre el béisbol. .
Las aventuras de Finn en Bocanegra: . (Las aventuras de Finn en Bocanegra #Volumen 1)
by Shane HegartyDescubre la serie «Las aventuras de Finn en Bocanegra», una serie monstruosamente divertida y llena de acción. Amenazada por la invasión de unas criaturas mágicas llamadas «leyendas», la aldea Bocanegra cuenta con la protección de la familia de Finn, probablemente el cazador más incompetente que ha existido nunca. A sus doce años ha sido incapaz de realizar aún las tres capturas obligadas, y si no lo consigue antes de cumplir los trece, cuando se celebre su ceremonia de iniciación, se convertirá en el primer miembro del clan que fracasa en el intento. El primero. En toda la historia de Bocanegra. Sin embargo, no todo en la vida se reduce a cazar y Finn pronto descubrirá que posee otras aptitudes igual de valiosas. Puede que sea el peor cazador de leyendas de la historia, pero en estos momentos es la única esperanza de Bocanegra. Reseñas:«Un libro increíble. el próximo gran éxito.»Eoin Colfer, autor de Artemis Fowl «Podría pasarme horas escribiendo sobre lo buena que es esta novela, repleta de sorpresas y giros inesperados.»The Guardian «Uno de los placeres de que te hagan sentir miedo es la risa liberadora que llega después. Bocanegra rezuma humor travieso y sutil.»The Irish Times «Primer título de una serie que parece una combinación de Los cazafantasmas y Percy Jackson, con el humor de Terry Pratchett.»Kirkus Reviews «Una versión actualizada del tema de la caza del monstruo con un simpático héroe, un poco indeciso, que se crece ante las adversidades. Hay mucho que disfrutar en este prometedor libro: una trama entretenida, humor irónico y momentos emocionantes.»Publishers Weekly «Finn es gracioso y no tiene miedo de parecer ingenuo, unos rasgos excelentes para el protagonista de una nueva serie juvenil [...]. A aquellos que disfrutaron de Cómo entrenar a tu dragón les parecerá que leer este libro es el siguiente paso lógico.»School Library Journal
