LEWISTON, ME (April 15, 2023) - Welcome to the 3rd Annual Lewiston/Auburn Community Read with the Lewiston and Auburn Public Libraries. A virtue this person embodies: Abraham Lincoln's compassion made him a great leader. Brad Meltzer is the New York Times bestselling author of Heroes for My Son, Heroes for My Daughter, The Lincoln Conspiracy, and a number of suspense novels like The Lightning Rod. Facts that make great conversation-starters Childhood moments that influenced the hero Comic-book-style illustrations that are irresistibly adorable Photos that bring the story more fully to life A timeline of key events in the hero’s history One great role model at a time, these books encourage kids to dream big. This book spotlights Abraham Lincoln who always spoke his mind and was unafraid to speak for others.This friendly, fun biography series inspired the PBS Kids TV show Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum. The heros are depicted as children throughout, telling their life stories in first-person present tense, which keeps the books playful and accessible to young children. Brad Meltzer and Josh Mensch, the bestselling authors of The First Conspiracy,which covers the secret plot against George Washington, now turn their attention to a little-known, but true story about a failed assassination attempt on the sixteenth president in The Lincoln Conspiracy. Each picture book in this series is a biography of an American hero, told in a simple, conversational, vivacious way, and always focusing on a character trait that made the person heroic. The girl felt like such a stereotype, and from the moment she’s introduced, Jake sees her as a goddess…for what reason, I still can’t tell you. And the characters were limp and/or cliched. The very first legend this club investigated was nice and creepy, and I thought it would ramp up from there. What really happens is that the summer passes quickly and only 5 local legends are investigated, the MC (Jake) goes long stretches without seeing his Uncle Calvin, and the only comparison that can be made to Stranger Things is that the book is set in the 80s and there are kids who do things. Oh, and you may see the book listed as horror. And in some places online, the book is compared to Stranger Things. It mentions the MC’s uncle with whom the MC spends most of his time. The blurb for this book says that it’s about some kids who spend the summer investigating local urban legends and ghost stories. This text refers to the audioCD edition.

Till We Have Faces is, in some ways, an uncomfortable book. So does Oruel charge heaven with crimes against humankind. How could they, who made her so wretched and hateful to all the world, take from her the one piece of beauty she possessed?

A lonely child, Oruel soons gains a companion in the form of a beautiful half-sister named Psyche. Our narrator is Oruel, the bitter and ugly princess of Glome. The story is set in the fictional city-state of Glome, a primitive polis on the margins of Hellenic civilisation. Lewis set out to correct the flaws in the tale, the end result being this exquisite, emotionally resonant novel. The original myth had haunted Lewis throughout his life, for he perceived many of the characters’ motivations as being irrational. Published in 1956, it is a retelling of the Cupid and Psyche myth from Greek mythology. Lewis is, in my opinion, one of the greatest novels ever written.
