"One of the most affecting graphic novels I've read in some time. You'll root for Kirah as she navigates a county's institutional racism, her mysterious family history, and brutal Gatorman murders, written and artistically rendered with care and love and righteous anger. Don't miss this one." –PAUL TREMBLAY, New York Times bestselling author of Horror Movie and The Cabin at the End of the World  A gripping graphic horror novel set in the Florida bayou, following a young biracial woman as she uncovers her estranged father’s role in a grisly hate crime. Kirah was born from an improbable interracial relationship that, in central Florida’s infamous Asurupa County, defied all the odds. But her idyllic childhood was shattered by an urban legend come to life. The “Gatorman” was a nightmare on the lips of kids and grown-ups alike all the way back to Jim Crow: a monster with the body of a man, the head of an alligator—and a taste for Black children. That’s who crawled into Kirah’s window when Kirah was just five years old. According to the police, it was Kirah’s own father who put on that gator mask and tried to kill her.Twenty years later, Kirah works hard to build a life unburdened by the traumatic events of her childhood. Just when it seems like she’s managed to find her stride, her dad, fresh out of prison, crashes back into her world with a chilling message: “He’s coming for you.”Finally forced to face the hideous family history she’s been avoiding, Kirah sets off to discover where, and who, she truly came from. And the more she learns, the more disturbing the whole picture becomes. Turns out there’s a lot more to the Gatorman than Kirah thought, and even worse: he isn’t through with her just yet.A clever hybrid of swamp noir, slasher horror, and social satire—and brought to life by Camilla Sucre’s vivid illustrations—Mama Came Callin’ is a story about family and legacies, both the ones we inherit and the ones we can’t escape.

Författarna till den här boken har i många år arbetat för att skolans vision och skolans verklighet ska förenas till en hanterbar helhet så att vi kan skapa en skola av god kvalité. Vi har valt en teoribas som gjort detta möjligt, som ger oss en mångfald av användbara idéer och praktiska tillämpningar i varje unik sekvens av skolans uppdrag och arbete. Teorierna som vi beskriver i boken går att använda i de flesta kontexter och är kraftfulla i sina effekter på de olika situationer vi har att hantera. I boken använder vi fenomenet skolfrånvaro för att visa på systemiskt styrkebaserat arbete i praktiken.

”En bra start i livet” Alltför många elever lämnar grundskolan utan att ha uppnått kunskapsmålen i ett eller flera ämnen och saknar därmed fullständiga betyg. Är man underkänd i minst ett kärnämne svenska, engelska eller matematik är man inte behörig till något program på gymnasiet och risken att hamna i ungdomsarbetslöshet eller utanförskap ökar. Förskolans uppdrag är tydligt. Enligt skollagen (2010:800) ska ”förskolan stimulera barns utveckling och lärande samt erbjuda barnen en trygg omsorg. Verksamheten ska utgå från en helhetssyn på barnets behov och utformas så att omsorg, utveckling och lärande bildar en helhet. Förskolan ska främja allsidiga kontakter och social gemenskap och förbereda barnen för fortsatt utbildning.” Förbereda barnen för fortsatt utbildning! Förskolans pedagogik och Systemiskt Styrkebaserat arbete har i grunden samma filosofi när det gäller lärprocesser och kunskapsbyggande. Med en stark tro på barnets egen lust, nyfikenhet och drivkraft att lära. Med tro på barnets egen förmåga att utvecklas, att våga pröva och utforska i en skapande och stimulerande miljö. I förskolan utforskar man hur allt ömsesidigt hänger ihop, delar och helhet, istället för att producera kunskap som redan finns. Fokus ligger inte på att svara rätt och att göra rätt – eller fel, vilket hos en del barn skapar stress. Det är en tillåtande miljö, som tillerkänner barnet rätten att få konstruera sin förståelse av sin värld. Boken beskriver hur Systemiskt Styrkebaserat förhållningssätt influerat rektor Anna Reinoso och hennes medarbetare i deras arbete på Munspelsgatans förskola i Västra Frölunda, Göteborgs stad.

Drawing on the traditional "hillbilly" music of his Kentucky childhood, Bill Monroe created the "high lonesome sound" of bluegrass; his accomplished mandolin-playing and haunting high-range voice, backed by fiddle and five-string banjo. The youngest child of eight, Monroe lost both his parents while still a teenager, and, as an adult, was a guarded, extremely private man. He was also a compulsive womanizer, whose longtime affair with the wife of a Tennessee highway patrolman was an open secret in Nashville. As one of the early stars of the "Grand Ole Opry" he inspired many young stars including Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley (whose first single for Sun Records was Monroe's "Blue Moon of Kentucky"). Ironically, the success of rock 'n roll caused Monroe some lean years in the 1950s but by the early 1960s, the folk revival movement had rediscovered him as "the Father of Bluegrass" and he found a whole new audience which continues today. His accomplishments are ranked with those of other musical giants including Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Charles Ives and Hank Williams. He died in 1996, aged 84.

Luke McCallin, author of The Pale House and The Man from Berlin, delivers a dark, compelling thriller set in post-World War II Germany featuring ex-intelligence officer Captain Gregor Reinhardt. A year after Germany’s defeat, Reinhardt has been hired back onto Berlin’s civilian police force. The city is divided among the victorious allied powers, but tensions are growing, and the police are riven by internal rivalries as factions within it jockey for power and influence with Berlin’s new masters. When a man is found slain in a broken-down tenement, Reinhardt embarks on a gruesome investigation. It seems a serial killer is on the loose, and matters only escalate when it’s discovered that one of the victims was the brother of a Nazi scientist. Reinhardt’s search for the truth takes him across the divided city and soon embroils him in a plot involving the Western Allies and the Soviets. And as he comes under the scrutiny of a group of Germans who want to continue the war—and faces an unwanted reminder from his own past—Reinhardt realizes that this investigation could cost him everything as he pursues a killer who believes that all wrongs must be avenged…From the Trade Paperback edition.

Amidst the chaos of World War II…In a land of brutality and bloodshed…One death can still change everything. In war-torn Yugoslavia, a beautiful young filmmaker and photographer—a veritable hero to her people—and a German officer have been brutally murdered. Assigned to the case is military intelligence officer Captain Gregor Reinhardt. Already haunted by his wartime actions and the mistakes he’s made off the battlefield, he soon finds that his investigation may be more than just a murder—and that the late Yugoslavian heroine may have been much more brilliant—and treacherous—than anyone knew. Maneuvering his way through a minefield of political, military, and personal agendas and vendettas, Reinhardt knows that someone is leaving a trail of dead bodies to cover their tracks. But those bloody tracks may lead Reinhardt to a secret hidden within the ranks of the powerful that they will do anything to keep. And his search for the truth may kill him before he ever finds it.

But as he desperately tries to uncover the truth, his own past with the Ustaše threatens his efforts. Because when it comes to death and betrayal, some people have long memories. And they remember Reinhardt all too well.And now, Reinhardt will have to fight them once more.
