Life is hard for ten-year-old Safiyah in the Kibera slum outside Nairobi.

When Cucu collapses after a fire, Safiyah stays at the hospital to help care for her grandmother. While Safiyah is away, her friend Pendo works on the mural, which upsets Safiyah.

Tales from Beyond the Brain

Tales from Beyond the Brain PDF Author: Jeff Szpirglas
Publisher: Orca Book Publishers
ISBN: 1459820819
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 133

Book Description
Imagine walking home from school one day and seeing a brain on the side of the road, a brain that, it turns out, is looking for a new home. Or instead of paying attention to the teacher, you shoot a paper airplane across the room and accidentally rip a hole in the fabric of the universe. And what would you do if you discovered that your class reading group was actually recruiting kids with telekinetic powers? Tales from Beyond the Brain is a collection of thirteen spooky stories that are as outrageous as they are terrifying. It's a throwback to the weird tales of yesteryear, in the vein of Tales from the Crypt and The Twilight Zone, but with contemporary characters and settings. Getting an education has never been more dangerous.
