Roberta: "It was amazing. This book is both fun and educational!! I love that the illustrations so clearly show the facial expressions of the children as they meet the terrible child eating giant only to find out that not all rumours are true. The story lends itself to discussions to help both emotional and moral development. As a teacher in Norway I also think this book is a wonderful way to introduce my children to Cambodia and it’s culture."Rob McCurdy: "A wonderful story that keeps the reader engaged by wondering what will happen next. It has so many opportunities for educating kids as there are concepts and messages hidden throughout the text that are just waiting to be explored. The illustrations are great, the emotions are stimulated and there is a certain amount of fun as well. A great link between two cultures and hopefully the first of many such stories."

It was first published in English and French in the United States by Reynal & Hitchcock in April 1943 and was published posthumously in France following liberation; Saint-Exupéry's works had been banned by the Vichy Regime. The story follows a young prince who visits various planets in space, including Earth, and addresses themes of loneliness, friendship, love, and loss. Despite its style as a children's book, The Little Prince makes observations about life, adults and human nature.

    In 2018, police announced that they had finally arrested the "Golden State Killer," a man responsible for over 140 burglaries, fifty rapes, and at least thirteen murders committed in California throughout the 1970s and '80s. That man turned out to be a former California police officer, Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. 
     
     
     
    Just two months earlier, the publication of I'll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara had rocked the world of true crime. Published two years after her death, the book charts McNamara's obsessive search for the prolific criminal who had been known over the years as the East Area Rapist, the Original Night Stalker, and the Visalia Ransacker, among other epithets. McNamara is credited with coining the "Golden State Killer" moniker and heightening public awareness of the—at the time—still unsolved case. 
     
     
     
    William Thorp dives into the investigation, exploring the dark side of sunny California, the advances in forensic innovation that made solving this case possible, and the story inside the story—one of an amateur sleuth who dedicated the last years of her life to understanding how one of the country's worst criminals could have spent so many decades undetected.
