surprotectrice, Li Han Angers ne se doute pas qu'une âme troublée la guette, tapie dans l'ombre. Mais quand elle commence à être victime d'étranges incidents, sa belle assurance s'effondre. Qui donc s'acharne ainsi sur elle ? Et pourquoi ? Heureusement qu'elle a des amis sur qui compter, dont Dominique, un adolescent atteint du syndrome d'Asperger, une forme d'autisme, qui utilisera ses étonnantes aptitudes et combattra ses peurs pour tenter de l'aider. Y parviendra-t-il avant qu'il ne soit trop tard ? Une carte sans légende est un heureux mélange de suspense, de romantisme et d'humour qui prône le respect des différences. C'est aussi une belle histoire d'amitié et de courage qui nous montre que nos faiblesses peuvent parfois cacher une force brute des plus étonnantes". -- 4e de couvIn the days of the pharaohs: a look at ancient Egypt (Single Titles Social Studies Ser.)

playing capoeira in the middle of the roda. Bimba wanted to play too. Although it is debated when and where capoeira—an art form that blends martial arts, dance, acrobatics, music, and spirituality—originated exactly, one thing is certain: in the early 20th century, Brazil was the only country in the world where capoeira was played, and it was mainly practiced by people of African descent. In 1890, two years after Brazil officially abolished slavery, the game was outlawed. Wealthy, lighter-skinned society feared and looked down on capoeira, seeing it as a game for malandros—what people in power called the poor Black communities they disdained. But in the early 1920s in the city of Salvador, a man called Bimba would advocate for capoeira, and those who practiced it, to be treated with dignity and the respect it deserved. Inspired by pre-Columbian codices, Duncan Tonatiuh tells the story of arguably the greatest capoeirista of all time, who fought to turn a misunderstood, persecuted Afro-Brazilian activity into a celebrated art practiced by millions around the world1re avenue
