AN EXCITING MYSTERY FROM A TIME LONG AGO! You, who have dug deep and sifted hard for a story to read, have unearthed an ancient treasure: a mystery from the dusty ages, when a boy could be a hero and fight for the good of all . . . Zet and Kat are in charge, now that their father is off fighting the Hyksos. But sales are dead at their family market stall. It seems adults don't trust kids running the place. In desperate need of money, Zet has to do something! When he spots a thief running from the medjay and learns there's a reward for his capture, he and Kat are determined to win it. The chase leads them into forbidden temples whispering with the voices of ancient gods, through a mysterious land of gold and majesty that the world has never forgotten.

In Mystery of the Roman Ransom it seems the young Roman students can’t get anything right. Maybe if they had completed their math homework they would have known their teacher’s birthday is long gone. To add to the boys’ conundrum, the servant they bought as a present for their teacher’s birthday isn’t just an ordinary Gallic slave but a courier on the run. To top it all off, the message the Gaul is carrying requests the assassination of a Roman senator—the father of one of the boys! Find out how these seven young detectives save the day in Mystery of the Roman Ransom.
Mystery of the Roman Ransom by Henry Winterfeld was first published in 1971 and continues to entertain children with its fascinating Roman setting and its lively cast of characters.

A deep friendship springs up between a boy, who had lost his voice and his mother at the same tragic moment, and an ailing albino deer sent from China as a gift to the King of Spain. It is Lalo’s task to nurture the sick deer back to health in the mountains of Mexico so that he will be well enough for the sea voyage to Spain. This gentle story of Mexico in 1630 follows young Lalo on his journey back to the Mountain of the Sleeping Lady. The journey and months the deer and the boy spend with Lalo’s goats are full both of dangers found in a wild landscape and of charming incidents found in a people brimming with life and faith. As with any friendship there is sorrow as well as joy, and Lalo grows in wisdom and courage as he comes to accept even the uncertainties and difficulties of the trust he has been given.

Published shortly after his escape from slavery, The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave became an immediate bestseller in 1845 and is still the most widely read slave narrative in American history. A piercing denounciation of slavery, the Narrative mobilized masses of people for the abolitionist cause. But the Narrative is also a deeply personal memoir in which Douglass chronicles his childhood years of deprivation and brutality, his efforts to teach himself to read (teaching a slave to read was illegal in the South), and his dangerous flight to freedom in 1838.In his insightful introduction, Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. celebrates the 150th anniversary of the book's publication and offers a fresh perspective on what theNarrative means today. The comprehensive bibliography lists the body of literature devoted to Douglass's life and writings.
Already a staple for many courses in American literature and history, this edition is enhanced by Professor Gates's introduction and bibliography, and will be a must have for all readers of American literature.
