  Since the passing of their father, Omar has tried (and in his little brother Sufyan’s eyes, failed) to be the leader of his family of Syrian refugees.  
   
  As Omar waits in line for rations, longing for the books he left behind when his family fled their home, Sufyan explores more nontraditional methods to provide for his family. Ignoring his brother’s warnings, Sufyan gets more and more involved with a group that gives him big rewards for doing seemingly small tasks.  
   
  When the group abruptly gets more intense—taking Sufyan and other boys away from their families, teaching them how to shoot guns—Sufyan realizes his brother is right. But is it too late for Sufyan to get out of this? 
   
  It’s left to Omar to rescue his brother and reunite the family. He will have to take charge and be brave in ways he’s never dared to before.

  We can't tell you who we are.  Or where we live.  It's too risky, and we've got to be careful.  Really careful.  So we don't trust anyone.  Because if they find us...well, we just won't let them find us. The thing you should know is that everyone is in really big trouble.  Yeah.  Even you.Jake seems to have grown up overnight–literally. When he went to asleep he was his usual kid-self, and when he woke up, about ten years had flown by! What's worse, the Yeerk invasion of Earth has succeeded. The newly-adult Jake searches for Ax and the other Animorphs to find a way out of the horrific future–but he soon learns they won't be much help. They've all been killed or infested.Luckily, Jake locates Cassie, who's part of a human-yeerk conspiracy movement to brutally conquer earth. When he attempts to help Cassie's rebel group though, he's captured by the new Visser Three. And now it looks like Jake's fate has been sealed. Because not only is the new visser more powerful than the old one, he also has a smart, cunning host armed with intimate knowledge of how the Animorphs fight. Marco.It all seems too horrible to be true. And there are things that just don't add up. That's when Jake begins to wonder if it's all just a really bad dream. Because if it is, he'll wake up and things will be back to "normal." If not, Jake is as good as dead....

  The Tale of Ivan Tsarevich and the Gray Wolf is a Russian fairy tale collected by a Russian Slavist and ethnographer Alexander Afanasyev.
  A king's apple tree bore golden apples, but every night, one was stolen. Guards reported that the Firebird stole them. The king told his two oldest sons that the one who caught the bird would receive half his kingdom and be his heir. They drew lots to see who would be first, but both fell asleep; they tried to claim it had not come, but it had stolen an apple. Finally Ivan Tsarevich, the youngest son, asked to try; his father was reluctant because of his youth but consented. Ivan remained awake the entire time, and upon seeing the bird, tried to catch it by the tail. Unfortunately, Ivan only managed to grasp one feather. The Firebird did not return, but the king longed for the bird. He said that still, whoever caught it would have half his kingdom and be his heir...
