![]() ![]() There follows the benign clue-hunting and adult-outwitting (and two further kidnappings) that will be familiar to fans of the hobby-investigator sub-genre, all of it brightly illustrated with dozens of richly colored, manga-inspired drawings by Ricardo Carmona. He’s physically unharmed, but an angry Daniel sees that his friend’s confident personality has changed, and at Daniel’s urging, the two teens decide to solve the mystery of why Jason was kidnapped in the first place. It comes quickly after only a few dozen tense and well-orchestrated pages, Jason is released. The first Hunter & Holmes Mystery quickly introduces us to its two young protagonists-straight-laced, methodical Jason Hunter and impulsive, emotional Daniel Holmes-and gets right down to business: Jason has been kidnapped, and as his parents, Daniel and his other friends slowly realize this, they contact the police and wait nervously for some progress. When a teenager is kidnapped and then mysteriously released, he and his best friend are determined to figure out why. ![]()

![]() At the time, I was no older than the book's heroine, Minda Talenyn, and I identified strongly with her. The Riddle of the Wren by Charles de Lint has been one of my favorite novels since it was first released in 1984. The Riddle of the Wren was Charles de Lint's first novel, and has been unavailable for years. She sets out, leaving the safety of her old life to begin a journey from world to world, both to save Jan and to solve "the riddle of the Wren"-which is the riddle of her very self. ![]() In exchange for her promise to free him, Jan gives Minda three tokens.

When placed in chronological order, the stories should be read thusly: Originally released as e-book novellas, the stories contained in The Iron Legends acting as bridges connecting the novels of the series to each other. A glossary and “Guide to the Never Never” round out the book. In the final tale, Queen Meghan is given a prophecy warning that her firstborn child will bring endless grief, setting the stage for the Call of the Forgotten series.

The years of federal neglect led Harris to conclude that HBCUs are owed reparations from the overall bias they have suffered. That fundamental question Harris pondered for a decade became the impetus for his newly released book, “The State Must Provide: Why America’s Colleges Have Always Been Unequal-and How to Set Them Right.” A reporter for The Atlantic, Harris crafted a comprehensive work that examines the vast history of how racial discrimination against historically Black colleges and universities manifested itself in governmental underfunding and undermining that augmented many of the schools’ lifelong struggles. ![]() Why were the facilities superior at the predominately white school founded in 1950 than the historically Black university founded 75 years earlier, in 1875?
