Black Klansman - Race, Hate, and the
Undercover investigation of Lifetime
By ron Stallworth
SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE
When Ron Stallworth, the first black detective in the history of the Colorado Springs Police
Department, comes across a classified ad in the local paper asking for all those interested
in joining the Ku Klux Klan to contact a P.O. box, Detective Stallworth does his job and
responds with interest, using his real name while posing as a white man. He figures he’ll
receive a few brochures in the mail, and learn more about a growing terrorist threat in his
community.
A few weeks later the office phone rings, and the caller asks Ron a question he thought he’d
never have to answer, Would you like to join our cause? This is 1978, and the KKK is on
the rise in the United States. Its Grand Wizard, David Duke, has made a name for himself,
appearing on talk shows, and major magazine interviews preaching a kinder Klan that
wants nothing more than to preserve a heritage, and to restore a nation to its former glory.
Ron answers the caller’s question that night with a yes, launching what is surely one of the
most audacious, and incredible undercover investigations in history. During the monthslong
investigation, Stallworth sabotages cross burnings, exposes white supremacists in the
military, and even befriends David Duke himself. Black Klansman is an amazing true story,
a searing portrait of a divided America and the extraordinary heroes who dare to fight back.

Bodacious: The Shepherd cat
By Suzanna Crampton
BODACIOUS: THE SHEPHERD CAT is a heart-warming and charming tale in which Bodacious tells
us about life as The Shepherd Cat on Black Sheep Farm. ‘I am Bodacious, The Shepherd Cat , and
this is my life story. I wasn’t always called Bodacious. I must have been called something else in
my kitten-hood in the nearby city of Kilkenny, but it’s all a bit of a mystery to My Human. As far as
she’s concerned, I appeared one day and have never left. It’s a secret I plan to keep.’ Written from
the perspective of Bodacious the cat, this is a beautifully written memoir of Bodacious’s life on the
farm and everything that entails — early mornings, frosty starts, beautiful sunrises, adventurous
rare-breed Zwartbles sheep, hard work, entertaining animals, mouth-watering food, kind people and
idyllic country living with its highs and lows. The Shepherd often tells Bodacious her favourite story
of how she went out to buy red ribbon to wrap a gift for her friend, but instead came home with a gift
for herself: a daring, assertive, ambitious cat looking for a home. But soon The Shepherd realises
she needs Bodacious as much as he needs her. As soon as he arrives, Bodacious saunters around
the farm like he owns the place and immediately establishes himself as Top Cat. But Bodacious isn’t
content to pad round the house and curl up by the Aga, and soon he befriends a farm cat called Oscar
who trains him in the ways of the farm. As well as Oscar, Bodacious gets to know all the other animals
on the farm — cats Miss Marley and Ovenmitt, the scruffy border collie/fox terrier-cross called Pepper,
and The Big Fellow, to name a few. With wonderful characterisation, humour, sharp observation, and
a plucky attitude, Bodacious shows us the ropes of Black Sheep Farm. As we soak in the atmosphere
of the house, the orchards and the fields, we also learn how this Top Cat Shepherd got his name – by
being ‘Big, bold, beautiful, bolshie’, as his Shepherd always says…

A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That
By Jayshri Ganda
Finalist in the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards
We’ve all been there. Mum cooks a family classic and it’s delicimo. You try to
emulate it at home and fail miserably. What does she put in it? What was that
secret ingredient? Not wanting the family secrets to be lost for future generations,
Christchurch woman Jayshri Ganda and her mum Laxmi Ganda created an Indian
cookbook. And it’s like no other you have seen, anywhere.
Many Indians left their home villages in search of a better future. They found their
home in a place known as the Land of the Long White Cloud: New Zealand. With
their knowledge of spices, they brought their Indian flavours, colours and traditions.
The next generation and even their kiwi friends and families ask how to make a
great curry - and the familiar respons is “a little bit of this and a little bit of that”.
Jayshri and her mother Laxmi explore these dishes and hope to have found an
answer they they can share with all New Zealanders.
