The Tell-Tale Start


Book Description

Meet Edgar and Allan Poe -- twelve-year-old identical twins, the great-great-great-great-grandnephews of Edgar Allan Poe. They look and act so much alike that they're almost one mischievous, prank-playing boy in two bodies. When their beloved black cat, Roderick Usher, is kidnapped and transported to the Midwest, Edgar and Allan convince their guardians that it's time for a road trip. Along the way, mayhem and mystery ensue, as well as deeper questions: What is the boys' telepathic connection? Is Edgar Allan Poe himself reaching out to them from the Great Beyond? And why has a mad scientist been spying on the Poe family for years? With a mix of literary humor, mystery, a little quantum physics, and fun extras like fortune cookie messages, letters in code, license plate clues -- and playful illustrations thoughout -- this series opener is a perfect choice for smart, funny tweens who love the Time Warp Trio, Roald Dahl, and Lemony Snicket.

The Telltale Leaflet


Book Description

This book is a political and literary work as a Palestinian-talking document. It’s a testimony to the history of the struggle and defence of the Palestinian issue. The book reveals the false narrative the Palestinian people have exposed to, whether it came from the supporters or the enemies of the Palestinian issue. This book is an explanation of my autobiography, and I made a pledge to myself that I would reach for the independence of Palestine and liberate every atom of soil in its lands. Some may think that this dream is elusive, but I can confirm that this dream is very close through my coexistence of the issue and knowledge of all the details from my childhood to this day. This literary work covers a political struggle starting from Palestine, specifically from Bab Al-Amoud. The incident changed my life. It then moves through Lebanon and most of the Arab countries until the struggle brings me to Stockholm. All this is so that every Palestinian and every human being feels safe and respectful in order to build and develop societies in all fields, establishing natural relations between countries and their people.
