Hardback. Zustand: Good. A magical tale portraying the crucial first moments of contact between an indigenous culture and the outside word.Late one Saturday afternoon, three brothers leave their village to hunt wari, the wild pig their people depend on for food. While hunting they discover a magical vine that can make them invisible-but they will only enjoy this power if they promise never to sell the meat they hunt, and never to hunt with guns, only with sticks. All is well until European traders arrive to buy the precious wari meat-and the brothers forget the promises they made so long ago. This is a Miskito version of the classic folk theme of how the very thing that gives you power can turn against you if not respected and used properly. The Invisible Hunters is about caring for our environment and our community, and about not losing sight of what is important. Joe Sam (illustrator).…

I thought Rhys would follow; he knew he wouldn't. Now, I'm one album shy of headlining my own world tour and the words have dried up. Too much betrayal. Not enough fresh mountain air. It's time to come home to Bourbon Canyon.After Rhys plucks me off the side of the road in the middle of a thunderstorm, it's clear the now-divorced single dad isn't the boy I once loved. For one, his daughters don't know he broke their favorite country singer's heart after high school. For another, he's grumpy. He stress bakes. And he can't put space between us fast enough. And yet, one kiss later and I'm four songs deep into my new album.With Rhys as inspiration, I can achieve my dream. But when it's time to go, that'll be the end of us. He's never leaving Bourbon Canyon, while the whole world will be my stage. If he can't set aside the past and see what's waiting for us, then the biggest love of my life will be nothing but a bourbon harmony. Montoya, Malaquias (illustrator).…
