Nadia Kamies has written a profound and moving meditation on what it meant to grow up ‘coloured’ in South Africa under apartheid. The photographs from family albums that gave rise to this project not only represent the aspirations of the families and community about whom Kamies is writing, but are also repositories of memories weighted equally with joy and sorrow. Kamies mines these images for their secrets, showing them to be a record of the past and a promise of what the future might be.

JO BROWNING WROE We didn't call the police right away. Later, I
would blame myself, wonder if things might have turned out
differently if I hadn't shrugged it off, insisting Dad wasn't
missing missing but just delayed, probably still in the woods
looking for Eugene. Mia Parkson's life is turned upside down when
her stay-at-home dad, the family's anchor, goes missing. The only
witness? Eugene - her younger, nonverbal teenage brother. As the
Police struggle for leads, and her mother and twin brother struggle
to keep things together at home, Mia gains access to key clues
about her father's disappearance. Headstrong, hyper analytical, and
with secrets of her own, she decides to try and solve the case. But
could Mia's impulsive actions be putting her whole family in
danger?

For the last 400 years, magic has been fading...
Edward Crane has always feared he won't have any magic at all. Sure,
he's part of a powerful magic Artezan family, but he's adopted. His
twin sister, Elodie, isn't so worried, but then everything always seems
to work out perfectly for her.
So when Ed discovers he does have an Artezan power after all, he's
relieved. And it's more than he ever could have imagined - in fact,
it's a dream come true.
But the problem with dreams is that sometimes they twist themselves
into nightmares. And with Ed's new abilities growing by the day,
there's a chance that this nightmare will become all too real...

Many Americans are familiar with Thomas Edison's "invention
factory" in Menlo Park, where he patented the phonograph, the light
bulb and more than one thousand other items. Yet many other ideas
have grown in the Garden State, too--New Jerseyans brought sound
and music to movies and built the very first drive-in theater. In
addition to the first cultivated blueberry, tasty treats like ice
cream cones and M&Ms are also Jersey natives. Iconic aspects of
American life, like the batting cage, catcher's mask and even
professional baseball itself, started in New Jersey. Life would be
a lot harder without the vacuum cleaner, plastic and Band-Aids, and
many important advances in medicine and surgery were also developed
here. Join author Linda Barth as she explores groundbreaking,
useful, fun and even silly inventions and their New Jersey roots.
