![]() Land of Opportunity: One Family's Quest for the American Dream in the Age of Crack $13.95 After watching a documentary about the Chambers' Brothers, additional reading about this family was mandatory. This family, from a small rural town in Arkansas, garnered national attention from non other than fellow Arkansan, Bill Clinton, at the 1988 National Democratic Convention. William Adler documents details that while in no way excuses the deplorable and destructive choices and behavior of the Chambers' brothers, lend plausible insight into social factors that make certain, immediate gratification and fast money, seem the only option available in the eyes of some misguided individuals. For anyone interested in one family's tale that sadly mimicks and represents the story of so many others, this book provides a well-rounded view of what can happen when an uncertain family foundation dangerously mixes with negative socio-economic issues. ![]() Kings Quest Collection 7 Game Pack $29.99 I grew up with Sierra and King's Quest, so I have always been a fan. It's definitely engaging, however it is sort of difficult to progress through the game without a walk-through tutorial, it's not the most intuitive game to be able to figure out on the whim. However look online and find walk-through tutorials (they're everywhere) and you'll have a blast with the game. The early versions of the game such as 1-4 have typing commands, instead of the point-and-click, but it helps to start kids off typing. I know it definitely helped me learn to type faster and more often when I was a kid playing this game. But the newer editions of the game 5-7 are all point and click with a mouse, and that's fun too, but not as rewarding in my opinion to point and click the entire time through a game. But that's how the evolution of gaming has turned. But definitely good clean fun, but definitely a looong game! So it's engaging for the kid to continuously try to master through levels of the game. ![]() Quest for Camelot $9.98 My niece got this from me as a gift and she absoltuley loves it.
