Ona go nie znosi, on chce ją zniszczyć. To nie brzmi jak wstęp do "żyli długo i szczęśliwie" Mayla Anders wraca do Silverdale po dwóch latach nieobecności. Za chwilę rozpocznie nowy semestr w starej szkole i wcale się z tego nie cieszy. Ma stąd złe wspomnienia. Nic dziwnego. W końcu to Royal State High School ― liceum, którym trzęsie czterech diabelskich uczniów, a jednym z nich jest Jason Halton. Jason to zmora jej dzieciństwa. Kiedyś marzyła, by był jak starszy brat i najlepszy przyjaciel. Dziś jednak kojarzy się dziewczynie ze wszystkim, co złe. Wspomnienia i intuicja słusznie ją ostrzegają. Jason Halton planuje zamienić życie Mayli Anders w piekło. Tyle że ona także się zmieniła, a jej powrót wywołuje niemałe zamieszanie w szkolnej społeczności. Czy w życiu Jasona też namiesza?
Rudyard Kipling
If you read the stories of The First Jungle Book, you remember how, attaching the skin of Sher Khan to the Council Rock, Mowgli told the surviving wolves of the Zion pack that he would hunt one from now on, and how his brothers - four wolves - announced that they would hunt with him. But its hard to change life in one minute, especially in the jungle. The flock dispersed in disarray; Mowgli went to the cave of his wolves, lay down and slept all day and all night. Then he told Mother and Father Wolves everything that they could understand from his adventures among people, and when the boy made the morning sun play on the blade of his knife, the very one with which he skinned from Sher Khan, they agreed that their son learned something.

The Secret Agent. A Simple Tale
Joseph Conrad
Mr Verloc, the secret agent, keeps a shop in Londons Soho where he lives with his wife Winnie, her infirm mother, and her idiot brother, Stevie. Verloc is part of a group of anarchists who believe in overthrowing the government and who also function as somewhat ineffective terrorists. The group mainly produces anarchist pamphlets called F.P. (The Future of the Proletariat) and hold private meetings among themselves. The agent is secretly employed by a foreign embassy, probably Russia, to blow up the Greenwich Observatory. The Secret Agent is a a story set earlier (1886) telling an allegory of terrorists and anarchists based in Edwardian England. The complicated plot is masterful, the prose sophisticated, and the characterizations full and engrossing. The death of an innocent is heartrending. Joseph Conrad is often considered the best writer of the 19th century.
