Thea returns to the Wandless Academy only to discover her friends are as out of sorts as she is. It’s only when she discovers that she is an elemental mage—a mage so rare that only four other wizards in history had similar talents—that the pieces start falling in place. Now Thea is called on by the Federal Bureau of Magic to unlock a mysterious white cube that may hold the secrets of more than just one elemental mage. However, the Alphiri are naturally curious and are looking to steal an elemental mage from the pages of history that could upset the balance between humans and Alphiri. The great Nikolai Tesla, a quad-elemental mage, has somehow survived death itself and both the Alphiri and the Federal Bureau of Magic are searching for him. But can Thea bring her friends together one more time to save Nikolai Tesla from being made a slave to the scheming Alphiri?

Here, from the award-winning writer and historian Alexander Eliot, is the dramatic story of the rise of ancient Greece to the fall of the Greek Empire – from the city-states of Athens and Sparta to the empire of Alexander the Great and the power of Constantine, from myths of gods and goddesses to the foundations of Orthodox Christianity and from Herodotus and Homer to Aristotle and Euclid. The history of Greece - the birthplace of Western civilization, democracy, mathematics, philosophy, and theater - unfolds in vivid detail in these pages.

The New York Times bestselling “bible of a social movement” (San Francisco Chronicle), available at last in an adaptation for young readers ages twelve and up Named one of the “most influential books of the past decade” (The Chronicle of Higher Education), The New Jim Crow is one of the most important and acclaimed books to have been published in recent memory; it raised the consciousness of an entire nation about the human rights catastrophe of mass incarceration and helped make criminal justice reform one of the most talked-about and urgent social issues of our time. As Newsweek said, “Alexander is absolutely right to fight for what she describes as a ‘much-needed conversation’ about the wide-ranging social costs and divisive racial impact of our criminal-justice policies.” Since its publication, the ceaseless, continuing stream of deadly encounters between law enforcement and people of color—and the Black Lives Matter movement—have made The New Jim Crow and its important ideas an essential text for younger readers. This adaptation does just that, making Alexander’s classic book—in all its brilliance and vision—available to a new generation of readers, ages 12–18. The racism unleashed and revealed by the Trump era make this new edition more urgent and timely—and necessary—than ever. As rich in information and potency as the original text, The New Jim Crow: Young Readers’ Edition will be a vital tool for helping younger readers understand the relationship between the criminal justice system and race, as well as for inspiring commitment to working to challenge and change our criminal justice policies.
