- Mace Windu : the glass abyss. by Barnes, Steven.;
"The Jedi are reeling from Qui-Gon Jinn's sudden death at the hands of a Sith. Jedi Master Mace Windu's feelings about Qui-Gon have always been complicated -- and have not been made any simpler by death. While they often disagreed, Mace valued Qui-Gon's unique perspective, and their shared dedication to the Force made them allies. Without Qui-Gon and his unorthodox views, Mace feels out of balance. While considering his fallen friend's legacy, Mace is surprised to receive a final message from Qui-Gon, marked to be delivered to Mace in the event of Qui-Gon's death. The message contains a last request: a plea to help the Outer Rim planet Metagos. Many years ago, a violent solar flare transformed the surface of the desert planet into a landscape of irradiated glass -- as beautiful as it is dangerous. Now most of the surviving inhabitants live underground, where rival clans fight to control the planet's limited resources. As a young Jedi, Qui-Gon protected the Sa'ad farming clan from the planet's less-scrupulous factions. The Sa'ad practice the art of dream-weaving, retaining their waking minds upon sleep in order to communicate and coexist with the wild creatures around them. Qui-Gon vowed to return if they ever required his aid, but now it falls to Mace to fulfill that promise. The Sa'ad's leader, KinShan Nightbird, has begged for the Jedi's help in freeing Metagos from the crime lords who threaten to eradicate her people's way of life. Intent on carrying out Qui-Gon's final wishes, Mace travels to Metagos and infiltrates the enemies of the Sa'ad. But as the Jedi Master investigates the intricate web of adversaries and allies, Mace finds himself pushed to the boundaries of the Jedi code, with his beliefs and his relationship to the Force itself challenged."--Library Bound Incorporated- Subjects: Science fiction.; FICTION / Media Tie-In; FICTION / Science Fiction / Action & Adventure; FICTION / Science Fiction / Space Opera;

- I can do that too : a big hedgehog and little hedgehog adventure / by Teckentrup, Britta.; Stuart, Nicola T.;
""I can do that, too!" tells of children's desire to be able to do everything that adults do. And about the fact that adults often don't know how to deal with this, because on the one hand they don't want to discourage children, but on the other hand they don't want to let them try things they are still too small to do. In this book, Britta Teckentrup shows that children can already do some of the things adults do, but often in a slightly different way, and so in the end the result is something different - and the realization that both can learn from each other. The warm and atmospheric illustrations make it easy for adults to talk to children about their abilities and the process of learning things"--- Subjects: Picture books.; Animals; Hedgehogs;
