Teddy Powers


Book Description

Teddy Powers is trying to live a normal 6th grade life after his family moves to Charleston, South Carolina. There's just one problem. His new classmates tell him that weird, unexplainable things have happened through the years to kids who have been in the house his parents just bought. Some got rich. Some got lucky. But some - like six-year-old Jack Everett who lived in the house in 1944 - disappeared, never to be seen or heard from again. Rumor was, it all had to do with some powerful stones hidden somewhere deep inside the house. It's not long before Teddy and his sisters, Emmy and Gracie, discover the powerful stones and begin using them against their parents, classmates, teachers and each other. It's all fun and games until the stones are stolen into a dark, menacing future world, and the Stone Keepers - a club of those given powers by the stones over the last hundred years - show up to demand some answers. Can Teddy steal back the stones before everyone's power is lost? Or will he remain forever trapped in time?

White Robes and Burning Crosses


Book Description

With its fiery crosses and nightriders in pointed hoods and flowing robes, the Ku Klux Klan remains a recurring nightmare in American life. What began in the earliest post-Civil War days as a social group engaging in drunken hijinks at the expense of perceived inferiors soon turned into a murderous paramilitary organization determined to resist the "evils" of radical Reconstruction. For six generations and counting, the Klan has inflicted misery and death on countless victims nationwide and since the early 1920s, has expanded into distant corners of the globe. From the Klan's post-Civil War lynchings in support of Jim Crow laws, to its bloody stand against desegregation during the 1960s, to its continued violence in the militia movement at the turn of the 21st century, this revealing volume chronicles the complete history of the world's oldest surviving terrorist organization from 1866 to the present. The story is told without embellishment because, as this work demonstrates, the truth about the Ku Klux Klan is grim enough.
