Summary
Henrietta Lacks, a poor Southern tobacco farmer, was buried in an unmarked grave sixty years ago. Yet her cells -- taken without her knowledge, grown in culture and bought and sold by the billions -- became one of the most important tools in medical research. Rebecca Skloot takes us on an extraordinary journey from the "colored" ward of Johns Hopkins Hospital in the 1950s to East Baltimore today, where Henrietta's family struggles with her legacy.
Lacks, Ron (Ron L.), author.

Summary
"My name is Ron Lacks. I am the oldest grandson of Henrietta Lacks, a beautiful and strong woman whose cells have become one of the most important cell lines in the history of medicine. I am writing this book to tell the truth. I want my grandmother's story told from the perspective of the people who knew her best. My grandmother's story is one that deserves to be told truthfully and accurately--and not at the expense of our family's name. That is the type of pride that my grandmother passed down to my father and the type of pride that my father and mother passed down to me. So, I will tell this story. Don't silence her twice." --

Summary
Dragoslava is a vampire kid. It has its perks, but sometimes being stuck as a kid forever can be a pain in the neck. And that's not even the worst part. A few centuries ago, Drago was cursed by a witch. If they don't complete every task she sets, they will be turned into worms. When the witch wants a spellbook from Baneberry Falls, Drago sets off with their immortal friends. But mysteries await in this sleepy Midwestern town, and Drago must figure out if the keepers of the spellbook have a hidden agenda, like everyone else they've ever known. One thing's for sure: after this accursed mission, Drago's immortal life will never be the same again!
