When he comes out of the reverie of his memories, he looks around to see he is surrounded by familiar faces—the children he used to entertain have returned, all grown up and more eager than ever to listen to his delightful tales.
Using two very different yet remarkable styles of art, Allen Say tells a tale within a tale, transporting readers seamlessly to the Japan of his memories. Wade's bookstore, where words abound. Bilal, a radicalized Palestinian youth, is promised paradise if he destroys the Western Wall. But his attempted terrorist attack fails and he finds himself in the hands of a young Jewish surgeon, Yael Cohen. Their search for answers soon puts them in the middle of a high-stakes international conspiracy—one that has its roots in the blood of thousands, and now threatens to spill the blood of thousands more.
Unknown to Bilal and Yael, theirs is the last chapter in a story that crosses millennia. Century after century, two ancient families—bloodline ancestors of Yael and Bilal—defied the power of corrupt kings and conquerors, fighting to forge an alliance and lasting peace.
But through many years of secret dealings and war, kinships were shattered, dynasties fell apart, and evil gained a foothold. Now, in modern Israel, those same sinister forces are at work, stopping at nothing to take control of the Holy Land and silence anyone in their way. Through imprisonment, assassination attempts, and political machinations, Bilal and Yael must ultimately confront the truth of who they are.
But is the common blood of two individuals enough to bring two enemy peoples together, and stave off the destruction that threatens them both?
Crossing borders, centuries, and battlegrounds, Bloodline is a thrilling, ultimately redemptive story taking place in the shadows of one of the oldest, most sacred cities in the world. Sort order. Start your review of The Trial of Cardigan Jones.

This book can be used to teach students not to jump to conclusions about other people. Just because something looks a certain way does not mean that is really how it happened.

Cardigan Jones represents the ultimate youthful poseur, hiding behind his heuristic facade of slickster fedora , hueless overcoat, and sullen glaze. Cardigan Jones is a young moose who has been wrongfully accused of a criminal activity based on the flimsiest circumstantial evidence since the Robert Blake case. A newcomer to town, Jones observed the placement of a freshly-baked pie on the windowsill of a local resident - neither of whom knew the other.
Jones freely admits to having investigated th Cardigan Jones represents the ultimate youthful poseur, hiding behind his heuristic facade of slickster fedora , hueless overcoat, and sullen glaze. Jones freely admits to having investigated the dessert a fact which had been reported by a number of witnesses unfamiliar with Jones, including a milk delivery bovine and a middle-aged lupine neighbour , but when it had gone missing, Jones denied all involvement with the alleged theft.
Jones, besides having been spotted at the scene immediately prior to the disappearance, also had observable remnants of pie crust adorning his clothing that day. This was all brought to light during a formal trial by jury, wherein all evidence appeared to be stacked against Cardigan Jones. Fortune smiled upon the defendant, however, when the judge happened to observe the young elk's perpetual struggle with his palmate antlers - it was immediately apparent to the judge that Cardigan Jones was not comfortable, nor familiar, with the times jutting from his head.
Further investigation on behalf of this observant arbiter of justice served to acquit Jones of the charge of theft. However, it could be argued that Cardigan Jones could be held fully responsible for the disappearance during the civil trial - although as of this time, author Tim Egan makes no indication that such a trial is set to take place.
A short, colourful tale for children about hastening to judgment, paying heed to minor seemingly irrelevant detail, and civil strife management, The Trial of Cardigan Jones gives all the thrill of a real-life court battle for the preschool crowd.
