Vida: His Own Story by Bill Libby and Vida Blue. Here is the story of a dream come true—“an inside look at the near rookie who became an overnight sensation and a legend in his time—a story that opens with a small boy on a neighbor’s field deep in the South, and moves to the big green diamond of the Oakland A’s. We see Vida grow up, and learn why he chose a career in baseball rather than pursuing his first love—football. We watch him in action, and see him game after game, soaking that precious left arm in ice water, and signing an endless stream of autographs with the right....The first Black whose picture ever appeared on the front page of the Mansfield, LA., hometown weekly, Vida Blue still introduces himself as Joe Namath to apyone who doesn’t know....This is the story of excitement, instant fame, and the inevitable pressures that follow.”

A Trail of Blood by Jeremy Potter. “Who killed the Plantagenet princes in the tower of London? Was it really their uncle Richard III? OR was it their brother-in-law Henry Tudor: can we even be sure that they were murdered at all? This historical novel tells how the truth was discovered by England’s earliest detective, Brother Thomas of Croyland Abbey, more than four hundred years ago....Convinced that, to preserve the Church, the ‘fat Tudor’ must go, Brother Thomas sets out—on a trail of blood— to find a Plantagenet heir. His desperate journey across England, followed by spies, courting arrest and death by torture, leads to tragedy, insurrection, a strange secret, and a despairing finale with but one consolation—he has solved the riddle of the Princes in the Tower.”
