Booklist School Library Journal Publishers Weekly The Horn Book Twelve-year-old Kingston James is sure his brother Khalid has turned into a dragonfly. When Khalid unexpectedly passed away, he shed what was his first skin for another to live down by the bayou in their small Louisiana town. Khalid still visits in dreams, and King must keep these secrets to himself as he watches grief transform his family. It would be easier if King could talk with his best friend, Sandy Sanders. But just days before he died, Khalid told King to end their friendship, after overhearing a secret about Sandy-that he thinks he might be gay. "You don't want anyone to think you're gay too, do you?" But when Sandy goes missing, sparking a town-wide search, and King finds his former best friend hiding in a tent in his backyard, he agrees to help Sandy escape from his abusive father, and the two begin an adventure as they build their own private paradise down by the bayou and among the dragonflies. As King's friendship with Sandy is reignited, he's forced to confront questions about himself and the reality of his brother's death.

Book excerpt: When life happens, there’s grief over the stillborn situations, dead behavior cycles and the unbearable baggage of missteps. But the good news is, it’s possible to push past the throttled possibilities to a wide-eyed state of recognizing one’s frailty and fallibility, one’s vulnerability and humanity. And this leads to self-acceptance and self-compassion. That is exactly what Ayan, Sara, Manjula, Trina, and the others do. It’s a much wider angle of vision rather than the pinhole aperture thus far. It’s the season to resurrect the invisible self. The track may not be the easiest to sprint on but there may be other fellow sprinters who haven’t given up yet. Who knows what the promise might be to the awakened self after yesterday is done and dusted. It’s time to set out on a bold trail with an unknown destination that GPS finds unfathomable. Uprooting to reroute the next segment to seek joy. If not anything, this is the closest to feeling like a child once more because no one's ever too old, not even Annapurna or Bijoy Pisho.

Book excerpt: Dragonfly Games are designed for use with small groups of dyslexic pupils. The practical and varied resources can also be used outside of the classrooom to encourage over-learning and revision of curriculum topics. Stimulating and fun to do, the games help pupils to: overcome specific barriers to learning through the use of experience, over-learning and discovery; master skills beyond those of literacy and numeracy development, including thinking skills, tactical strategies, sequential application and gamesmanship; and devise their own games, developing their ability to use varied methods of application useful for overcoming learning weaknesses within their own specific profile. As the games are heavily loaded with luck, the chance of success does not depend on the pupil's performance. This helps to encourage players to participate fully, in an environment that is pupil-friendly and very enjoyable.
