The Scar of David
by Susan Abulhawa
The Scar of David is a historic fiction set in the lap of one of the 20th century’s most intractable political conflicts. Though the course of this story, a Palestinian boy grows up as a Jewish Israeli who becomes tangled in a truth he cannot reconcile, and his identity can find no repose but in the temporary anesthetics of alcohol. A would-be suicide bomber is given a name, a face, and life of a man pushed to incomprehensible limits. An Arab girl of pious and humble beginnings escapes her destiny and lives the “American Dream,” which her soul cannot bear. And a nation of destitute refugees living under the general label of “terrorists” emerges in the context of an unredeemed history.

"Gala's
12: An Interdimensional Journey" by Bob Gunn From California
to Colorado and Peru, from there and then to here and now, we are
taken on an incredible odyssey of wonder and self-discovery. The two
stories that overlap in "Gala's 12: An Interdimensional Journey" by
Bob Gunn reflect the dual nature of reality and must be interpreted
by the reader depending on their own experiences, beliefs, imagination,
and level of awareness. "Gala's 12" is an interactive story. That
is, the main characters interact with you, the reader, and you become
at least indirectly involved. The title, "Gala's 12", refers to twelve
proposals put forth from another dimension as an effort to reveal
more of what's really going on in our universe. The narrative is not
as straightforward as it may initially appear. Worlds and realities
intermix, questions are raised, and answers sought. And yet "Gala's
12" is most definitely an incredible "story" in its own right. From
the author's perspective, this is indeed a true story. Whatever your
assessment of this book is, or becomes, the "Twelve Propositions,"
around which it all revolves are an essential guideline for both surviving
and evolving in this new millennium.

"The Lucky Lady," that was lost at sea.
Dickey listens to how the pirate still walks the island at night searching
for his lost crew, while helping others who may be lost or in need.
His own fear mixed with his vivid imagination serve as an embellishment
to the real adventure he and his Grandpa are experiencing during the
dangerous storm.
As he falls into a fitful sleep, Dickey weaves a wondrous dream with
images from his Grandpa's storytelling. Miraculously, the next morming
they are rescued. But only Dickey knows the truth of how it came to
be.

"How
the Caterpillar Got Its Wings", by Jana Garnett is a
story that has a literal and figurative message. The literal story
of how caterpillars become butterflies serves as a tool to facilitate
dialogue about feelings between parent/teacher and child/student.
The figurative message is open to interpretation and may apply to
many important life transitions or just change in general. The objectives
encourage us to acknowledge the function and potency of our feelings.
In acknowledging, naming, and expressing our feelings, we release
them and maintain both intrapersonal and interpersonal health. In
fact, we are transformed by these behaviors!

where she works with children with developmental disabilities. Jana's
area of emphasis has always been interpersonal skills.
Also includes Audio CD of Story and Fun Activities! Great to read
