Life of Lincoln
Written by: John Hugh Bowers
Read by: Andrew L. Barnes
Synopsis
A biography of the Great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln, as written by John Hugh Bowers in 1922. Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) was the sixteenth President of the United States, serving from 1861 until his assassination. As an outspoken opponent of the expansion of slavery in the United States, Lincoln won the Republican Party nomination in 1860 and was elected president later that year. During his term, he helped preserve the United States by leading the defeat of the secessionist Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. He introduced measures that resulted in the abolition of slavery, issuing his Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and promoting the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution in 1865. He closely supervised the victorious war effort, especially the selection of top generals, including Ulysses S. Grant. Historians have concluded that he handled the factions of the Republican Party well, bringing leaders of each faction into his cabinet and forcing them to cooperate. Lincoln successfully defused a war scare with the United Kingdom in 1861.

The Call to Shakabaz
Written by: Amy Wachspress
Read by: Andrew L. Barnes and Adilah Barnes
Synopsis
A highly original fantasy adventure, The Call to Shakabaz sidesteps many of the usual conventions of the genre and offers instead unusual and creative resolutions to a variety of sticky situations. When the recently orphaned Goodacre children are transported to the land of Faracadar, they must discover and develop their special talents if they hope to retrieve the powerful Staff of Shakabaz and rescue the land from the malevolent
enchanter Sissrath. Set in an African American cultural context, with all brown characters, this story offers a refreshingly different perspective on adventuring in make-believe lands.
The Call to Shakabaz challenges readers of all ages to reconsider the nature of violence while it demonstrates the fundamental principles of nonviolence as practiced by Dr. King and Gandhi. When the dust clears, this book will inspire readers to think and think again. In the meantime, it is way too much fun! A rollicking good read for the whole family!
