Cant remember the title or auther of a book I read in the early to mid 1990's?

Cant remember the title or auther of a book I read in the early to mid 1990's the main character was a young monk at a monastery where they traveled to a special island once every so often where stones would rain from the sky. They would polish them and each different type of stone had special powers, ie. Rubies produced fire, tiger eye allowed the trained user to turn his arm into a tiger claw, powers range from load stone which allows out of body and possession of another, to amethyst which the main character smashes in the final battle to defeat the demon.

The young monk runs away from the monastery and takes many stones with him. The abbot sends a fanatical monk to hunt him down, and all the wile there is a demon that has awoken, and is trying to get the stones for some other purpose. It was a great read, and I would love to read it to my kids, if I could remember the title to find it.

Similar questions: remember title auther book read early mid 1990's.

I'm trying to track down a novel I had in the early to mid 90's about a private detective in a large city divided into zones. Each zone had it's own quircky identity.In the zone he lived in the buildings were sentient and could change colour whenver they felt like it and you could only live there if they let you. S appartment changed colour each hour so he knew roughly what time it was when he woke up by the colour of the walls.

In one scene when he was being chased by the police the building he was standing beside created an abstract mural on it's wall which matched the colours of his clothes so he blended in with the wall and the police couldn't see him. Towards the end of the book he went to a rarely used zone which was actually a run down seaside resort and met a friend with an aeroplane. The friend went up in the plane to look down at the sea and as the sea looked solid from the plane that meant the hero could walk across it to reach something he needed to get in the middle of the sea.

I think it was published sometime between '91 and '94 the author may have been British (I bought the book on the strength of a review it got in Interzone magazine) and I seem to remember it had a 2 word title. I loaned it to someone not long after I read it and they moved away and the book went with them. Sources: sfsite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1675 .

Black Books Galore! Guide to Great African American Children's Books about Boys (Paperback) price:$34.00Editorial ReviewsAmazon. Com ReviewIn 1992 two mothers founded Black Books Galore, the nation's leading organizer of African American children's book festivals, and set out to identify and distribute fine children's literature that was for and about African American kids.

Ultimately, authors Donna Rand and Toni Trent Parker selected a stellar assortment of books for boys from birth through eighth grade for inclusion in this fabulous resource for boys (as well as hundreds more in the version for girls: Black Books Galore! Guide to Great African American Children's Books About Girls). Parents, teachers, librarians, and kids themselves will find this an invaluable resource, as well as a thoroughly enjoyable reading experience.

The authors include brief, lively descriptions of over 350 books, such as Charlie Parker Played Be Bop and The Watsons Go to Birmingham--1963, often including text excerpts and pictures of book covers to impart the flavor of the books. They include several special features, such as "The Creator's Reflections"--spotlights on talented authors and illustrators, from Angela Johnson to Tom Feelings to Mildred Pitts Walter--as well as quotations from well-known African American personages and from young readers and their parents. The selections are arranged alphabetically by title and numbered sequentially for easy cross-referencing.

Each entry includes title, subtitle, author, illustrator, publisher of hardcover and paperback editions, original publication date, and a brief synopsis of the book. Significant awards are noted, as well as any sequels, prequels, companions, or series titles. --Emilie CoulterFrom School Library JournalThe authors of Black Books Galore!

Guide to Great African American Children's Books (Wiley, 1998) offer gender-specific titles, each of which presents annotations of more than 300 books with positive African-American characters. The selections are diverse in genre and style and represent a wide variety of authors and illustrators; they are organized alphabetically by title within broad age/interest levels. Most have recent copyright dates.

Other features include a few reflections from famous authors, illustrators, and public figures about books and reading; some short quotations from the books; and illustrated "reading testimonials" from parents and children who enjoy reading. There are separate indexes for titles, authors, illustrators, and topics. Although these useful bibliographies are compiled primarily for parents seeking good books for their own children, they will also be helpful to teachers and librarians.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
