Book excerpt: The Ali'i Warrior is filled with action and adventure, drama and suspense, and what's more it's refreshingly wholesome and fun! Prepare yourself to be transported back in time to ancient Hawaii where the fate of an island rests in the hands of three young heroes as they rescue prisoners and battle an evil tyrant. Up until now, life has been good for Kapono in ancient Hawaii. But the night he is invited to the Counsel of the Elders, something kids his age are forbidden to join, things drastically change. His peaceful village is ruthlessly attacked by the rogue king, Hekili. His father is viciously killed, and his mother and sister are among those taken prisoner to the king's dungeon on the other side of the island. Kapono and Palekana, the High Priest, lead the few survivors to the sanctuary of the cove. On the way, Kapono learns of his kingly heritage. He learns of the prophecy, the return of the Io, and the mighty warrior who will help him save his people from the grip of the evil king. Upon reaching the cove, the majestic Io appears, a sign of the prophecy. Palekana knows that the portal has been opened, and the mighty warrior has arrived. Life is not good in the present day for Evan. He is having trouble dealing with his father's death in the line of duty as a fireman. He is angry at the world, and his relationship with his mother is deteriorating fast. Out of the blue Evan gets a call from his Uncle Frank, a Biology professor at UH-Hilo. Uncle Frank invites Evan to Hawaii to help verify the rare sighting of an Io bird. And when Evan arrives on the Big Island, he is thrown into the adventure of his life. For starters, the Io appears and leads them deep into the mountains. In the early morning, after a night of heavy rain, a thick fog surrounds them, and they hear beating drums. Is it the legendary Night Marchers, ghost warriors of the past? Suddenly, a crashing sound devours them. When the ground stops shaking, they see that a wall of mud and debris has been miraculously diverted around them. A huge uprooted tree exposes the opening into a lava tube. The Io dives into the hole, and Evan and Uncle Frank go in after it. A shock awaits them when they come up out of the tube a few hundred yards away - They are a few hundred years in the past, and Palekana and Kapono are waiting to greet them. Rescuing the prisoners from the king's clutches is their first task. Stealthily, Evan rappels in the dark of night down a cliff to a hidden cave that leads into the dungeon. The guards below sound the alarm after only a few prisoners escape. With Hekili's warriors in pursuit, they flee along the mountain. But this is the mountain of The Prophecy, and it suddenly erupts. Rivers of fire encircle both them and their pursuers. A battle ensues leaving Hekili's men dead. But the lava continues to close in around them. Through Evan's ingenuity, they cross the lava and escape. Meanwhile, the violent eruption has left a wake of destruction and confusion at the wicked king's stronghold. Now is the time to attack. The final battle is not only a battleground of death, but also the battleground on which Evan must prove his courage. In the end, they conquer Hekili, and Kapono is anointed the Ali'i Nui, the True King, and Evan is anointed the Ali'i Warrior.

Book excerpt: As featured in the Oscar-nominated documentary Crip Camp, and for readers of I Am Malala, one of the most influential disability rights activists in US history tells her story of fighting to belong. “If I didn’t fight, who would?” Judy Heumann was only 5 years old when she was first denied her right to attend school. Paralyzed from polio and raised by her Holocaust-surviving parents in New York City, Judy had a drive for equality that was instilled early in life. In this young readers’ edition of her acclaimed memoir, Being Heumann, Judy shares her journey of battling for equal access in an unequal world—from fighting to attend grade school after being described as a “fire hazard” because of her wheelchair, to suing the New York City school system for denying her a teacher’s license because of her disability. Judy went on to lead 150 disabled people in the longest sit-in protest in US history at the San Francisco Federal Building. Cut off from the outside world, the group slept on office floors, faced down bomb threats, and risked their lives to win the world’s attention and the first civil rights legislation for disabled people. Judy’s bravery, persistence, and signature rebellious streak will speak to every person fighting to belong and fighting for social justice.

Download or read book Warriors written by Lincoln C. Yamashita and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2011-11 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warriors: Pu` Ali Koa explores the history of how the Hawaiians established their culture and lifestyle while also chronicling historical events of the twentieth century. While researching the history of Hawaii, author Lincoln Yamashita realized that the role of the warrior in Hawaiian history had not been properly documented. To provide a complete and accurate portrait of the warrior, he determined that it was essential to document the role of Warrior Spirit, the legacy of Hawaiian culture, and the history of the Hawaiian nation. Many of the stories of the Hawaiian warriors have been passed down from generation to generation through oral storytelling. Yamashita has gathered the historical stories of the great warriors into this single volume. Warriors: Pu` Ali Koa documents a history that is vital to the cultural fabric of the forty-ninth state. For example, the legacy of the Hawaii Army National Guard began with the first Polynesians who originated in Southeast Asia. The "Ancient Ones" traveled over 2,300 miles from their homeland northward to the islands of Hawai`i. There they established a culture and language that are unique to these islands. These early warriors, and those who followed them, have made Hawai`i what it is today: beautiful, exotic, and true to their native culture and homeland.

Book excerpt: A star athlete shares her trailblazing account of triumph in the face of sexism, self-doubt, and injury, gives a remarkable global tour of the women's soccer world, and presents a stirring call-to-action to secure equal pay and conditions. When Susie Petruccelli won a place on Harvard University's soccer team, she felt on top of the world—talented, strong, and worthy. Unfortunately, after sustaining injuries and developing health problems, she felt her worth slip away. In this remarkable memoir, Petruccelli reveals how she battled her way back onto the field and continued to fight even after she hung up her cleats. She distills the significance of not giving up on oneself and inspires players of all sports who've faced injuries to persevere. She also brings to light the inequities and discrimination female athletes face that she's traveled the world to see and document firsthand, and introduces the international athletes and activists fighting for equal pay and conditions. In so doing, she reveals the progress made, as well as the battles ahead and the force of the movement. Raised a Warrior is the winner of the Vikki Orvice Prize and has been praised by a wide range of sports icons from Pelé to Billie Jean King.

Download or read book Warrior written by John Hunt and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warrior is the powerful true story of a British soldier's heroism during the Iraq War that reveals how he was ruthlessly sacrificed by the Establishment. Captain Tam Henderson was adopted as a baby in Glasgow. His family moved to England and he grew up on a violent council estate in Birmingham. At 16, he chose to join the famous Black Watch regiment. In a career spanning 23 years, he rose through the ranks and was deployed to conflicts in Northern Ireland, the Balkans and the Middle East. During the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Tam was in the thick of ferocious fighting and, amidst Basra's chaos, he set up camp for the 200 men of Charlie Company, who were put in charge of the city's most volatile districts. Having fought to recover the body of one of his men killed in action, Tam was horrified when the chain gun on his Warrior tank malfunctioned, suddenly firing of its own accord and seriously injuring a comrade. He was told to take the rap but refused, insisting that the dangerous fault on the gun needed fixing. He was convicted by a kangaroo court at Saddam's palace and sent home in disgrace. But Tam fought back and embarked upon the biggest battle of his life - against the Ministry of Defence and international arms companies. Pacy and starkly authentic, Warrior takes the reader on an exhilarating journey that is by turns horrific, humorous and poignantly reflective.
