Naked Mole Rat Saves the World
by Karen RiversCan Kit&’s super-weird superpower save her world? Twelve-year-old kit (with a small k) likes shopping at the flea market with her best friend, Clem, roller-skating, climbing to the roof to look at the stars, and volunteering at an animal shelter. Until suddenly she has a really big, really strange secret that makes life more complicated than she&’s prepared for: Sometimes, without warning, she turns into a tiny naked mole rat. It first happened as kit watched Clem fall and get hurt during a performance with her acrobatic-troupe family on TV. Since then, the transformations keep coming. Kit can&’t tell Clem, because Clem hasn&’t been herself after the accident. She&’s mad and gloomy and keeping a secret of her own: the real reason she fell. Months later, kit and Clem still haven&’t figured out how to deal with all the ways they have changed—both inside and out. Somehow, kit has to save the day. But she&’s no hero, and turning into a naked mole rat isn&’t a superpower. Or is it?

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave: Written By Himself (Oxford World's Classics)
by Frederick Douglass‘A masterpiece … [Douglass] was not only self-educated, with a love of language which should still be an inspiration; he was also self-created’ New York Times Frederick Douglass was born into slavery in Maryland in 1818. After his escape in 1838 he became an ardent abolitionist, and his autobiography was an instant bestseller upon publication in 1845. In it he describes with harrowing honesty his life as a slave – the cruelty he suffered at the hands of plantation owners; his struggles to educate himself in a world where slaves are deliberately kept ignorant; and ultimately, his fight for his right to freedom. A passionately written, intelligent and highly emotive indictment of slavery, his principle preoccupation was that slavery could be eradicated only through education. This text was key in helping to secure its eventual abolition.
