Heroes of Our Time
This article examines Devorah Omer’s first two historical children’s novels, Ben-Yehuda’s Eldest Son and Sarah, Heroine of NILI (both published in 1967), as a case study for the ideological role played by historical fiction for children and youth in 1960s Israel. A comparison of the novels with the historical sources on which Omer relied reveals how the selection of the figures of Sarah Aaronsohn and Itamar Ben-Avi allowed her to create a narrative that crossed the political divide while presenting the difficulties experienced by children and women in their encounters with the national myth. Omer’s novels thus play a dual role: they preserve the Zionist narrative and shape a collective memory consistent with the establishment of a sovereign Jewish state, while also raising issues that call into question the national narrative’s hegemonic status.

Journey to the Center of the Earth
One hundred fifty years later, Jules Verne's epic novel of science and adventure is just as thrilling as when it was first published
A dirty slip of parchment falls from the pages of an ancient manuscript. Deciphered by the indefatigable Otto Liedenbrock, professor of geology, and his reluctant nephew, Axel, the parchment's coded message is a wild assertion made by a medieval alchemist: Inside a volcano in Iceland is a passageway to the center of the earth. Impossible, says Axel—the temperature of the earth's core is far too high for any human being to go near it. That is one theory, the professor replies. Two days later, they embark on a journey so fantastic it will alter the very meaning of history.
First published in 1864, Journey to the Center of the Earth is a cornerstone of science fiction and one of the greatest stories ever told. This ebook edition contains the classic Ward Lock & Co. translation of 1877, one of the first English-language versions faithful to the original French.
This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

(Re)Writing Reality
Every time we ask students to write about themselves or their communities, we are asking them to be vulnerable. We are asking them to examine the world in which they live, break down their protective walls, and expose themselves to the feelings that result from the broken barriers. Therefore, when we ask students to write, we are asking them to be courageous enough to share their truths with us, despite the intense level of openness required to do so. Yet, even though it requires students to be vulnerable, writing enables them to name problems they face, to show adults assets where we might see deficits, and to reframe who they are. This idea of writing as a vulnerable yet beneficial practice drives the work of the Deep Center, a nonprofit organization in Savannah, Georgia. Deep was created with the mission to empower young people to thrive as learners, community leaders, and agents of change.
