I have never felt like I belonged to my body. Never in the way rhythm belongs to a song or waves belong to an ocean. It seems like most people figure out where they belong by knowing where they came from. When they look in the mirror, they see their family in their eyes, in their sharp jawlines, in the texture of their hair. When they look at family photos, they see faces of people who look like them. They see faces of people who they’ll look like in the future. For me, I only have my imagination. But I’m always trying. Twelve-year-old Gabriela is trying to find their place in the world. In their body, which feels less and less right with each passing day. As an adoptee, in their allwhite family. With their mom, whom they love fiercely and do anything they can to help with her depression. And at school, where they search for friends. A new year will bring a school project, trans and queer friends, and a YouTube channel that help Gabriela find purpose in their journey. From debut author medina comes a beautifully told story of finding oneself and one’s community, at last.Zum Buch
A young African boy lives most of his childhood in Texas. “Prince” is the name his parents call him ever since he was a young boy. The name, “Prince”, would often cause Amadi to wonder about the meaning and importance of the name. Young Amadi knows about his Nigerian roots, but he has never visited his homeland. When his parents first announce they are traveling back home to Africa, Amadi becomes very happy and curious about traveling home to Nigeria. Amadi decides to bring along his talking parrot, Azu, knowing it would be more exciting to go on adventures with his parrot friend. Amadi and his parents arrive in Nigeria to homecoming celebrations that are very traditional and fun. During the festivities, Amadi learns that he is a real Prince from the bloodline of mighty warriors who were gifted a magical treasure forest by the earth goddess. At first, everyone in the palace, including his parents, try to convince Amadi that the magical treasure forest is a folktale which does not exist. However, the mystery of the magical forest begins to unfold when Amadi realizes that the old woman he saved from the mischievous acts of bullies looks exactly like the painting on the wall of the earth goddess of the Golden Kingdom. Through Prince Amadi’s acts of kindness and wisdom, the goddess is impressed by him. First, she gives him a magical golden stone to guide him to the treasure forest. Amadi almost loses the stone when the Tree Tribesmen accost him, claiming that the treasured stone belongs to them. Amadi is in a hard situation. How can he give up the golden stone, which is of great value, when the goddess asked him to keep it safe? He is left with two choices: show courage or give up the treasure stone! There is more for Amadi to discover in the Golden Kingdom. The more hurdles he encounters, the stronger and wiser he becomes until the inhabitants of the Golden Kingdom recognize him for who he is: The Prince of the Golden Kingdom.Zum Buch
The Shipshape Miracle by Clifford D. Simak - The castaway was a wanted man—but he didn't know how badly he was wanted! If Cheviot Sherwood ever had believed in miracles, he believed in them no longer. He had no illusions now. He knew exactly what he faced. His life would come to an end on this uninhabited backwoods planet and there'd be none to mourn him, none to know. Not, he thought, that there would be any mourners, under any circumstance. Although there were those who would be glad to see him, who would come running if they knew where he might be found. These were people, very definitely, that Sherwood had no desire to see. His great, one might say his overwhelming, desire not to see them could account in part for his present situation, since he had taken off from the last planet of record without filing flight plans and lacking clearance. Since no one knew where he might have headed and since his radio was junk, there was no likelihood at all that anyone would find him—even if they looked, which would be a matter of some doubt. Probably the most that anyone would do would be to send out messages to other planets to place authorities on the alert for him.Zum Buch
