This was bullsh*t. Being suspended for a late hit ruins my history-making games-played streak. The only good that comes out of this is meeting Kira, a woman I've noticed in the stands the past couple of seasons. The only problem is breaking up with Rose. She wants to get married and I... I'm not quite there yet. When she gives me an ultimatum, I'm forced to make a decision. I just wish Kira didn't complicate things.

The five-and six-year-olds in my class have invented a new game they call suicide. I have never seen a game I hate so much in which all the children involved are so happy. So begins Under Deadman's Skin, a deceptively simple-and compellingly readable-teachers' tale. Jane Katch, in the tradition of Vivian Paley and Jonathan Kozol, uses her student's own vocabulary and storytelling to set the scene: a class of five-and six-year-olds obsessed with what is to their teacher hatefully violent fantasy play. Katch asks, 'Can I make a place in school for understanding these fantasies, instead of shutting them out?' Over the course of the year she holds group discussions to determine what kind of play creates or calms turmoil; she illustrates (or rather the children illustrate) the phenomenon of very young children needing to make sense of exceptionally violent imagery; and she consults with older grade-school boys who remember what it was like to be obsessed by violence and tell Katch what she can do to help. Katch's classroom journey-one that leads her to rules and limits that keep children secure-is an enabling blueprint for any teacher or parent disturbed by violent children's play.

A race against time. Simba, child of the prophecy, has earned himself a powerful ally—Queen Oglove of Yttrium. Now capable of withstanding even the deadliest alien bullet, along with the Queen, Simba travels back through time to Ahec, where the answers leading to the Stone of Conquest are said to lie. With time racing against them, will Simba’s dreams for a peaceful world finally come true? Or is this only a prelude to much bigger and more sinister events? A vindictive retaliation. Quinn knows where Simba is—and he needs to get there fast. His children, now turned against him, are now unredeemable in his eyes. The lust for power has completely blinded Quinn, making him even more spiteful than ever. Together with Deputy Wong and Lady Hex, Quinn sets out to Ahec, where the Stone of Conquest is presumed to have been kept by no other than the banished Queen herself—Oglove’s mother. As their forces continue to balloon in numbers and mount in strength, Quinn is overcome by both grief and joy. Grief for the family he has lost and insurmountable joy for the impending end of Simba’s journey—his greatest nemesis. Everything is not as it seems. Queen Oglove can remember clearly the day her mother was shamed and banished, word after f her villainy had reached the ears of his Majesty, the King, her father. With the balance of the universe hanging by a thin thread, the conception of stones, Treasure of Ocal and Stone of Conquest, didn’t bode well for all who had life. Dubbed to be the mind behind what is considered the most powerful magical tool, the former Queen’s identity remains a mystery. However, after finding out the link that could lead them to her, Simba and the Queen journey to the infamous forest, rumored to trap anyone that enters the realm beyond it forever. The beginning of the end. Eila had felt them from miles away—her intuition was never wrong. Her father’s deceit has made them question the values that had guided them before meeting Simba, and this has done wonders for her judgment. With the enemy’s forces waiting on the outskirts of Ahec, Eila fears for Simba and the future of the universe. However, her trust remains in the prophesied child. Only lies in him the freedom for which all covets.
