Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, basketball legend and the NBA's alltime leading scorer, champions a lineup of little-known African-American inventors in this lively, kid-friendly book. Did you know that James West invented the microphone in your cell phone? That Fred Jones invented the refrigerated truck that makes supermarkets possible? Or that Dr. Percy Julian synthesized cortisone from soy, easing untold people’s pain? These are just some of the black inventors and innovators scoring big points in this dynamic look at several unsung heroes who shared a desire to improve people’s lives. Offering profiles with fast facts on flaps and framed by a funny contemporary story featuring two feisty twins, here is a nod to the minds behind the gamma electric cell and the ice-cream scoop, improvements to traffic lights, open-heart surgery, and more — inventors whose ingenuity and perseverance against great odds made our world safer, better, and brighter. Back matter includes an authors’ note and sources.

An only child in a lonely valley is the one folks least suspect of arousing treasonous attention merely by the sight of her face ... or her ears. But when the truth of her heritage is finally revealed to Diana Firathor, treason is not the only risk she must take to seize the opportunity of a lifetime: a throne all her own. Her adventure spins her into a chaotic chase after legends and fame, fleeing from tyranny and enslavement. And as she ventures to lands of which she has never seen nor heard, trusting strangers and estranging friends, she must learn that there is so much more to ruling a people than the mere trifles of state. Her tutors try to teach her, but even such lessons seem to come too late. It is not until she is truly faced with the most difficult choice that she learns what doing the best for the people really means. It takes a little heart, a little more bravery, and a lot more humility ... and then more bravery.
