The Story of Pocahontas and Captain John Smith

E. Boyd Smith

Sinopse

'The Story of Pocahontas and Captain John Smith' is a picture book that tells the story of Pocahontas, a Native American woman, belonging to the Powhatan people, notable for her association with the colonial settlement at Jamestown, Virginia. Pocahontas is most famously linked to colonist Captain John Smith, who arrived in Virginia with 100 other settlers where they built a fort on a marshy peninsula on the James River. The colonists had numerous encounters over the next several months with the people of Tsenacommacah – some of them friendly, some hostile. A hunting party led by Powhatan's close relative Opechancanough then captured Smith while he was exploring on the Chickahominy River and brought him to Powhatan's capital at Werowocomoco.

The Vanished Ones

Chad Lucas

From award-winning author Chad Lucas comes an enthralling new story about a strange island where boys go missing—and the two boys intent on uncovering the truth about it 
  
On Rhodenroode Island, a remote colony of the Homeland, there sits a Mission on the Hill, where boys are taken in and taught the ways of the faith. 
  
Darian is the only trainee of his race there, and he doesn’t remember how he came to the Mission. All he remembers are brown hands and the belly of a ship. Life among the other boys and the cantankerous Brothers is not always easy, but Darian is determined to live up to the lofty calling the leaders of the Mission have laid out for him: that one day he will carry the Sacred Word to places it has yet to reach. 
  
But when another trainee at the Mission disappears—the latest in a string of vanishings—Darian is determined to solve the mystery that begins to shake his faith in what he’s always been taught. 
  
When he and his friend Micah sneak away from the Mission and head east to see what they can learn about the rebel sect supposedly responsible for the vanishings, they discover that the island holds far more secrets than they ever could have imagined—and somehow, they must save the other boys at the Mission from a danger that’s even greater than they realized. 
  
"Lucas builds an engaging mystery with a dash of Afrofuturism, giving a thoughtful reflection on colonialism and its effects on society."—Booklist

The Eighth Row

Amir Rimer

A Chessboard Shrouded in Mystery. A Pawn's Forbidden Dream. A Battle for Identity and Power.
In the dead of night, under the silver gaze of the moon, the white chess pieces gather around their queen. Tension hangs heavy as the White Queen's voice slices through the silence: “There is a traitor among us.” Accusations fly, fear spreads, and the battlefield shivers under the weight of her words.
In a world where hierarchy rules and destiny is preordained, Lisa, a humble pawn, dares to dream the impossible—to reach the legendary Eighth Row and become a queen. But the White Queen's warning echoes ominously:
"You can only be what you were made to be. A pawn can never be a queen."
Or can she?
When Lisa confesses her forbidden ambition, she expects exile, but what she finds is an ally in the unlikeliest of places—Knight Henry, whose defiance of tradition ignites a spark of hope. With his help, and the loyalty of her best friend, Knight Tomas, Lisa embarks on a treacherous journey across enemy lines.
But in the shadows of the chessboard, loyalties are tested, truths are twisted, and a darkness looms—one that threatens to consume not just Lisa’s dream, but her very heart.
Will Lisa defy fate and claim the crown she so desperately desires?
Or will she fall prey to the darkness that comes with breaking the rules?
In a world where order is absolute and power is merciless, one pawn's courage could change everything... or destroy it.
Step into a world of intrigue, power, and the price of ambition.
"The Eighth Row" is a spellbinding allegory of identity, ambition, and the cost of breaking free. Perfect for fans of dark fairy tales and thought-provoking fables.
