LEESHA'S WRITTEN SOMETHING MORE FRIGHTENING THAN THE UNABOMBER MANIFESTO!Present-day Washington DC. In an election year.Corruption. Terrorist threats. Power-brokering. Business as usual.Although Internet voting software has existed for years, computer geek Thomas Bridger has created the killer app: the security code that would make it safe for people to vote in political elections using the Internet. Who cares? For starters, the President of the United States, the FBI, and Bridger's father (a status-quo Senator, in the beginning stages of Alzheimer's).But just having a new, election-day toy won't increase voter turnout.What would?Enter Leesha Dormont, a 'Ghost Walk' tour guide in MLK's Selma, Alabama. A minimum-wage bottom-feeder? Hardly. Seven years ago, Leesha wrote a radical-some say treasonous-document. The first chapter cross-pollinated all over the Internet and fired-up more feelings than the Unabomber Manifesto.The twist? No one knows Leesha's the author. Not yet, anyway. And what about the two additional chapters that no one's ever seen?The next presidential election is only a few months away, and it's a race against the clock. The president and the entire intelligence community are waiting for the next clue-that is, if they can't get Bridger to rig the election for them; otherwise they'll turn Bridger's fate over to their best assassin. And what about the 200,000 people who show up in the nation's capital to check out the possibility of fairness and equality?Can Bridger and Leesha stay true to their ideals? Will modern-day democracy cease to exist? Washington DC and the rest of the world are about to find out, in Radical.

Topsy-turvydom is a picture book that takes a lighthearted approach to one of the most serious concerns the world has had to wrestle with for more than half a century. The drama is unfolded through the eyes of animals so humans can enjoy a hearty chuckle during a stressful period. This book is limitless! Toddlers will benefit from the rich illustrations and everyone can delight in the humor. The book is truly a concoction of several figures of speech: onomatopoeia, alliteration, synesthesia, synecdoche, and more. This is an understated text which is loaded with synonyms and other literary elements that transport the reader to deeper levels of thought.
In November 1989, the Royal Ontario Museum staged a controversial exhibit called "e;Into The Heart of Africa."e; This sparked a protest demonstration that proved to be a life changing experience for many. The youth-led outcry for change became a landmark in Ontario's race-relations leading to an upheaval so impactful it altered the course of history for museums worldwide becoming in effect a milestone in the way museums mount and curate exhibits.Thirty-one years later, for the first time, the authorized biography of one of the main protagonists, Adisa Oji, the only demonstrator to be imprisoned for his actions, is being told publicly. Few people know of his courageous story, a young man who heroically stood up against institutionalized racist practices and was punished. His up until now unknown personal history sheds irrefutable light on the current public and global agitation regarding race and racism and compels us to honestly re-examine the long-lasting tragic effects of colonialism and slavery. This biography fills an important gap even for those who may be familiar with the Royal Ontario Museum episode while providing an informative gripping history for those who may not.In a world where the significant contributions of people of African ancestry are most often overlooked or given short-thrift, I AM Brother Oji honours and highlights for global recognition the life, leadership and legacy of a young Canadian of African Caribbean descent who distinguished himself during a time of social controversy. Adisa S. Oji's extraordinary story provides a window of illumination on how to break cycles of oppression and exploitation. His story is a source of fresh and thoughtful insight into what it means to be a person of African ancestry living in a predominantly white European milieu and calls attention to the effectiveness of efforts directed at addressing racial discrimination, inequity, and injustice.With the help of abundant amounts of photographs, Mello Ayo as narrator and social commentator weaves a vivid beautiful story of uncompromising triumph and self-empowerment. While the ROM episode provides a point of departure, the unflinching narrative goes beyond and connects the past with the present to create an enchanting hero's journey transiting through the sociopolitical and historical landscapes of Jamaica, Canada, and Ghana.At a time when many young people are becoming disenchanted, slumping into alienation and learned helplessness or collapsing into sub-cultures of violence, a look at how one young man kept his youthful optimism alive and how he refused to become a victim while making a positive difference is deserving of our attention.

Just as it is important for adults to come to our Lord and Savior and to pray without ceasing, so it is important for our children to learn how to come to our Lord.

A perennially disturbed young man, Timothy Winnow, finds himself as a high school student beside a beautiful, blue-eyed blonde, who was both obnoxious but bright and whose name was Ursula Nouveau. Ironically, she seldom thinks highly of him or his consistent behavior around mirrors, and everyone refers to him as Timmy. Little does he know that her ditching him might be in his best interests, considering whom he would later meet, while his behavior around mirrors in the meantime is something neither his friends nor his family could understand, not even he himself-for now. One day his entire body is mysteriously plunged through his bedroom mirror, thus erasing from his mind the quandary regarding his "e;weird"e; behavior around such things. Now he will see and experience things nobody in their conventional minds would even conceive. Finally, he must decide between returning home and gaining the best of two completely different worlds-as an evaluator.
