Book excerpt: Masks are everywhere. What do kids think about that? When Lucy finds out her mom is making her a special mask she's excited. Lucy loves masks! She dives into her toy box full of costumes and opens a world of imagination and make-believe adventure, far beyond the walls of her room. Of course, she doesn't realize that the mask her mom is making is not part of a costume but one that will keep her safe and make her a real-life superhero. This book is not a science lesson about germs and protection. It's a simple fun story that helps make mask-wearing more relatable and less scary. Parents and educators have found it to be a wonderful tool to start a conversation about germs, viruses, the pandemic, and what families have to do to keep themselves and others safe. For children heading to schools that will require them to wear masks, and for parents, grandparents and teachers looking for stories that give comfort and reassurance to kids about the changes around them, Lucy's Mask is a welcome addition to reading time. Lucy's Mask was a Finalist in the 2021 Next Generation Indie Book Awards.

Book excerpt: In the aftermath of interplanetary war, a disfigured loner is given a chance at a new life—but at a steep cost, in this novel from “a superb storyteller” (The New York Times). Disfigured in the wars that destroyed his planet, Nik Kolherne lives a shadow existence in the sprawling refugee ghetto of the Dipple. He wears a mask to cover his scars and dreams about another country under an unfettered blue sky and a warm sun. But a chance encounter gives him the opportunity for a new face—and a new life. All he has to do is impersonate a young boy’s fantasy hero. So what if Nik is now allied with the Thieves’ Guild, a subversive outlaw group that seeks their prey on loosely held frontier worlds? A kid all alone in the world could use an ally. His mission is to lure Vandy Naudhin i’Akrama, the young son of a powerful warlord, from his high-security villa and deliver him to the Guild so they can access critical information locked in his brain. But when Nik and Vandy are shipped off to Dis, a burned-out wasteland of a planet, Nik realizes he’s a pawn in a spiraling web of political intrigue and intergalactic evil that threatens both their lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Comedy of Masks a Novel After his first visit, he availed himself eagerly of Rain ham's invitation to make his property the point of view from which he could most conveniently transfer to canvas his impressions; and he worked hard for months, with an industry that came upon his friend as a surprise, at the uneven outlines of the Thames warehouses, and the sharp pointed masts that rose so trenchantly above them. He had generated an habit of coming and going, as he pleased, without consideration of his host's absences; and latterly, in the early spring - whose caprices in England Rainham was never in a hurry to encounter - the easel and painting tools of the assiduous artist had become an almost constant feature of the landscape. Now, towards the close of an exceptionally brilliant day in the finish of May, he was putting the last touches to a picture which had occupied him for some months.

Download or read book The Roman Satirists and Their Masks written by S.H. Braund and published by Bristol Classical Press. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting from the conviction that Latin literature gains from being viewed as performance, the author sees the creation of different characters or "masks" in Latin literature as a result of the Greco-Roman training in rhetoric. She treats the texts of Roman satire as drama and focuses on the characters whose voices are heared in these performances: the angry satirist, the mocking satirist and the smiling satirist. She goes on to explore the implications of the use of these "masks" for authors and audiences of satire.

Download or read book Old Faces in New Masks Classic Reprint written by Robert Blakey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Faces in New Masks A preface to a book is generally something which the Author wishes to communicate to the Reader in a somewhat private and confidential manner. The document, whether long or short, contains matter which is to be uttered in subdued and familiar accents - not in that formal and professional tone which the Writer would use to the world at large. Indeed, a Preface is a private and privileged com munication, dashed Off with a careless air, and under a kind of pleasing impression that his labours have just come to a close, and that he has now time to be quite easy and natural. The chief feature in most Prefaces is of an apolo getical character. Some shortcomings have to be acknowledged, some oversights to be atoned for, or some mental deficiencies to be lamented. In fact, these effusions are indisputable memorials of that imperfection which appertains to all things human, and to literary labours among the rest.
