Is written by New York Times bestselling author and Newbery Medal and Coretta Scott King Book Award-winner Kwame Alexander.In its place is a letter, one that could bring Blade the freedom and love he's been searching for, or leave him feeling even more adrift. But when a long-held family secret comes to light, the music disappears. And songwriting is all Blade has left after Rutherford, while drunk, crashes his high school graduation speech and effectively rips Chapel away forever. In reality, the only thing Blade and Rutherford have in common is the music that lives inside them. The one true light is his girlfriend, Chapel, but her parents have forbidden their relationship, assuming Blade will become just like his father. Or to no longer be part of a family known most for lost potential, failure, and tragedy, including the loss of his mother. In fact, he'd give anything not to be the son of Rutherford Morrison, a washed-up rock star and drug addict with delusions of a comeback. Solo by Kwame Alexander and Mary Rand Hess is a New York Times bestseller! Kirkus Reviews said Solo is, "A contemporary hero's journey, brilliantly told." Through the story of a young Black man searching for answers about his life, Solo empowers, engages, and encourages teenagers to move from heartache to healing, burden to blessings, depression to deliverance, and trials to triumphs.īlade never asked for a life of the rich and famous.

When she joins some of her recent divorcées on a celebratory cruise, her only vow is fun, sun, and new friends. She’s content focusing on the temporary marriages of her rich and famous clients.

Cynical divorce attorney Lori Cumberland lives by one motto: Love is grand, but divorce is a hundred grand. What Penzler's volume lacks, however, is the work of one of the genre's more patient, subtle touches, that of Henry James. Otto Penzler's tasteful editing gives the reader an array of stories from a few different general themes. A general volume including works from around the genre, including authors of varying specialties, is The Big Book of Ghost Stories. Ghost stories may be an old genre, with a long history of now seemingly tired tropes, but a fair sampling is in order to give a reader an idea of their potential. The lone glow of a single weak bulb in an old lamp will also stand up admirably to the traditional setting, especially if you're alone and have no need or facilities for a fire. It might be hard to see how it works, and not a little of this might be an attempt to actively suppress any memories of that awful movie, Krampus, but telling or reading tales of the supernatural by the morose, red glow of the dying embers from a once roaring, jovial fire is a great way to end a busy winter day. Really, though, the ghost story goes well in just about any season, but one that's especially underrated is winter - despite an illustrious history of the Victorian and Edwardian Christmas ghost stories. To some, October is the most appropriate time to break out ghost stories.

By the sheer force of indiscriminate voracity, he had gleaned a smattering of practically everything, and by means of a trick memory had managed to keep it all straight.įor instance, he had read Robert Browning’s Rabbi Ben Ezra twice when he was younger, so, of course, knew it by heart. He looked exactly what he was: a retired tailor, thoroughly lacking in what the sophisticates of today call a “formal education.” Yet he had expended much of an inquisitive nature upon random reading.

Robin's early adventures included Star Spangled Comics #65–130 (1947–1952), the character's first solo feature. Conceived as a way to attract young readership, Robin garnered overwhelmingly positive critical reception, doubling the sales of the Batman titles. The character's first incarnation, Dick Grayson, debuted in Detective Comics #38 (April 1940). As a team, Batman and Robin have commonly been referred to as the Caped Crusaders and the Dynamic Duo.
