Sinopse

The Greek myths are celebrated as timeless stories in this collection by renowned author Bernard Evslin “The Dolphin Rider” is Arion, who lives in Corinth, a city near the sea. He longs to go on great adventures, but an oracle warns that if he embarks on a voyage, he will never return. When Apollo, the god of music, gives Arion a golden lyre for his twentieth birthday, Arion ignores the oracle’s words and sets sail for Sicily. Everyone falls in love with his singing, and great treasures are heaped on him, but Arion is forced to contend with an unexpected foe: man’s greed. “The Gift of Fire” introduces Prometheus, the young giant who fears no one, including Zeus, mighty ruler of gods and men. However, when Prometheus vows to bring his precious gift to every cave in the land, he makes multiple deadly enemies. This collection also features stories about Narcissus, destined to fall in love with his own beautiful reflection; King Midas, who loves only gold; Cupid, who must suffer the consequences when he is struck down by love; and the fatally curious Pandora.

    11-year-old twins Jess and Matt have lived with their upbeat Aunt Emma ever since their parents mysteriously disappeared six years ago. 
    Jess is serious and studious; Matt is fun-loving and doesn’t care much for school… But they have one thing in common: They desperately want to know what happened to their parents. 
    When Matt’s friend Jax mentions the Dark Watchers, mysterious shadowy figures who appear at dawn and dusk in the Santa Lucia Mountains, Matt’s brain starts whirring. Local legend says these strange figures are responsible for many unexplained disappearances… 
    Could their parents be among them? 
    Not even skeptical Jess can resist researching the legend… and she has to admit, the stories are compelling. 
    Between Jess’s careful research and Matt’s love for adventure, the twins come up with a plan to find out more… one that won’t arouse Aunt Emma’s suspicions. 
    As the twins embark on their quest for answers, they have no idea what to expect… or just who it is they’re dealing with. They certainly don’t expect to come face to face with one of the mysterious figures on the first night… 
    Will Jess and Matt find the answers they’re looking for and finally understand what happened to their parents? Or are they just putting themselves in the line of danger? 
    Join them on their quest, and find out for yourself… You’ll be so captivated that the pages will almost turn themselves!

Find out how far Dick Gregory’s belief in feeding the hungry took him in this unforgettable story of an incredible journey that still reverberates today.
