Pages : 414
Book Description
Newberry Honour Award Winner & National Book Award Winner. Matt is six years old when he discovers that he is different from other children and other people. To most, Matt isn't considered a boy at all, but a beast, dirty and disgusting. But to El Patron, lord of a country called Opium, Matt is the guarantee of eternal life. El Patron loves Matt as he loves himself - for Matt is himself. They share the exact same DNA. As Matt struggles to understand his existence and what that existence truly means, he is threatened by a host of sinister and manipulating characters, from El Patron's power-hungry family to the brain-deadened eejits and mindless slaves that toil Opium's poppy fields. Surrounded by a dangerous army of bodyguards, escape is the only chance Matt has to survive. But even escape is no guarantee of freedom . . . because Matt is marked by his difference in ways that he doesn't even suspect. Praise for The House of Scorpions: 'It's a pleasure to read science fiction that's full of warm, strong characters... that doesn't rely on violence as the solution to complex problems of right and wrong. It's a pleasure to read.' Ursula K. LeGuin 'Fabulous' Diana Wynne Jones Also by Nancy Farmer: The Sea of Trolls Land of the Silver Apples The Islands of the Blessed The Lord of Opium

The Incidental Guru
Author: Cindy Stone
Publisher: Markham, Ont. : Fitzhenry & Whiteside
ISBN: 9781550413670
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Imagine the Dalai Lama, renowned psychiatrist Scott Peck and a temperamental mutt named Harry on a long walk where the topic of conversation is emotional healing? Prepare for an illuminating journey. Respected psychotherapist, Cindy Stone, shares an inspiring and insightful tale about how she met her incidental guru, an abandoned and rebellious dog whose defensive manner helped unveil touchstone elements for profound self awareness and developing intimate and satisfying relationships. Whether relating with our partner, family, friends, co-workers, or pets, The Incidental Guru will touch our souls with wisdom and insight encouraging us all to relate to both animals and people with greater understanding and compassion. Cindy calls upon the Four Elements of Healing: courage, trust, respect and love to guide us in navigating our own emotional landscape. If we are beginning a new relationship, in the middle of an existing relationship, or ending an old one, the Four Elements of Healing is a powerful paradigm. The Incidental Guru is a book that leads us away from sadness, doubt and worry, to discover what we already know to be true in our hearts: we are special; we are not powerless: change is possible and while most clouds do in fact have a silver lining, some clouds arc bursting with potential. Cindy and Harry teach us that while all things may not go the way we want or expect, and some life lessons are difficult to bear, we must go forward with courage, trust in the future, respect the paths of others and love generously even though we may have been bitten before.
