Author: Kathleen Bullock
Publisher: Austin Macauley Publishers
ISBN: 164979567X
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
DreamHoppers is a fantasy adventure novel about four young teens, a cat, an elephant, and a blue boy who they meet one mystifying night in a fanciful dream. Each night the dream evolves and changes. As time goes on, the confused teenagers come to believe that the purpose of the dream, if there is a purpose, is to take charge of the youngest, a boy who calls himself Prince Raj. They promise to help him escape his dream castle prison. Alex, the skeptic, finds the confusing world of dragons, and elephants, and blue boys, and talking cats, proof of his skepticism of the supernatural. The dream is nothing more than a product of his imagination. Events prove him wrong, however, when he meets Leila Bhati, one of his dream companions at a library in real life. Alex and Leila begin to realize that their dangerous nightly dream won’t end until they somehow manage to convey the sickly Prince Raj to his lost father in the White Palace. But most importantly they pledge to protect Raj from mysterious flying assassins who chase them aggressively across a magical landscape. But why? Alex wonders why a group of beastly dream assassins want to hurt and kill an innocent young child of ten. The DreamHoppers plan to find out.

The Audacity of Hope
Author: Barack Obama
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0307382095
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Barack Obama’s lucid vision of America’s place in the world and call for a new kind of politics that builds upon our shared understandings as Americans, based on his years in the Senate “In our lowdown, dispiriting era, Obama’s talent for proposing humane, sensible solutions with uplifting, elegant prose does fill one with hope.”—Michael Kazin, The Washington Post In July 2004, four years before his presidency, Barack Obama electrified the Democratic National Convention with an address that spoke to Americans across the political spectrum. One phrase in particular anchored itself in listeners’ minds, a reminder that for all the discord and struggle to be found in our history as a nation, we have always been guided by a dogged optimism in the future, or what Obama called “the audacity of hope.” The Audacity of Hope is Barack Obama’s call for a different brand of politics—a politics for those weary of bitter partisanship and alienated by the “endless clash of armies” we see in congress and on the campaign trail; a politics rooted in the faith, inclusiveness, and nobility of spirit at the heart of “our improbable experiment in democracy.” He explores those forces—from the fear of losing to the perpetual need to raise money to the power of the media—that can stifle even the best-intentioned politician. He also writes, with surprising intimacy and self-deprecating humor, about settling in as a senator, seeking to balance the demands of public service and family life, and his own deepening religious commitment. At the heart of this book is Barack Obama’s vision of how we can move beyond our divisions to tackle concrete problems. He examines the growing economic insecurity of American families, the racial and religious tensions within the body politic, and the transnational threats—from terrorism to pandemic—that gather beyond our shores. And he grapples with the role that faith plays in a democracy—where it is vital and where it must never intrude. Underlying his stories is a vigorous search for connection: the foundation for a radically hopeful political consensus. Only by returning to the principles that gave birth to our Constitution, Obama says, can Americans repair a political process that is broken, and restore to working order a government that has fallen dangerously out of touch with millions of ordinary Americans. Those Americans are out there, he writes—“waiting for Republicans and Democrats to catch up with them.”

Blowin' Up
Author: Jooyoung Lee
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022634889X
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
What many readers have wished for is now reality: a richly descriptive ethnography of street rappers. Blowing up refers to rappers dream of becoming rich and famous, or, at the least, successful as recording artists. Jooyoung Lee adds a shape to his story of Flawliis, VerBS, E. Crimsin, Psychosiz, and Tick-a-Lott: how do young black men from the inner city navigate their twenties? Blowin Up is a vibrant look at the young-adult stage of people who grow up in the shadow of gangs, dead-end jobs, and a glittering entertainment industry (the setting is Los Angeles). No other account of ghetto youth affords us this particular angle of vision. Lee discovers that in South Central L.A., rap can create bridges that bring young men together with peers from different neighborhoods (underscoring the importance of a healthy alternative to gangs). A rapper s underground artistic career is rooted in battle skills and crowd appeal, and, to boot, is meritocratic (whereas mainstream career success is based on branding, timing, funding, networks, and gimmicks). Rapping is an embodied artit takes much practice to learn, and requires body skills in dance, stance, and voice. Lee homes in on the skills and personalities of individual rappers, but he also illuminates the complex hip-hop scene around which these young men orbit, giving us detailed understandings of how young men navigate the intricate, tightly-wound world of tragedy and opportunity in the city. Lee balances the prospect of risk and existential uncertainty for youth entering a young adult life-stage with the hope for a big break in forging an entertainment career. In the end, Lee shows us how the arts can shape the lives of at-risk youth."
