For decades, a riot that killed three hundred people and wounded hundreds of others was scarcely heard of. But several new studies have focused attention on Tulsa's Greenwood race riot of 1921. In If We Must Die novelist Pat Carr turns that tragedy into a riveting novel. When Berneen O'Brien's mother dies, the seventeen-year-old moves from Wyoming to Tulsa to live with her stern uncle. Berneen secures a teaching position at Liberty Elementary School. When she meets the principal, Nelson Flowers, she is amazed to find that he is a black man. Slowly, as she meets the other teachers, Berneen realizes that she is teaching in a black school. Her worries about being an outcast soon disappear, as the other teachers make her welcome. Berneen, who is of Black-Irish descent, doesn't realize that the teachers and students all assume she is also black. At school and after hours Berneen finds herself moving in the world of the segregated Greenwood neighborhood. And she finds herself increasingly drawn to Nelson Flowers. Racial tension erupts into violence when a young white girl accuses a black shoeshine boy of raping her in an office-building elevator. Whites burn Greenwood and storm the neighborhood, shooting and beating black men, women, and children. Berneen is trapped in the school with Nelson Flowers and the teachers when the mob approaches. The story of their desperate attempt to escape is realistic and frightening, made more so by its historical accuracy. This novel is both insightful and a real page-turner.Binding Type: Paperback

Durable toy for rug of war and fetch
My dog has loved these so far. She is still 5 months old but already around 25-30lbs and can usually tear up her toys pretty quickly. These have held up to tug of war, chewing, and fetch. They're durable and keep her entertained. It squeaks well and the sound is loud enough for my dog to hear and she loves it. They're a good size for small to medium sized dogs. Even large dogs under 100lbs should be good for these. I personally think a 150lb cane corse would tear right through these but I can't be sure. Overall, great quality and value for money. It comes with three so if one does get lost or damaged you have others.

Cute dog toys
This is a reasonably priced set of three dog toys in the shape of an octopus. This would make a great gift to any dog parent.
The material feels soft which is appropriate for non-aggressive. The toy sizes are appropriate for small to medium to large dogs.
There is a squeaker in each toy to keep your dog entertained. The toys have a fun shape and facial expression. In all three toys, the entire sock is filled with crinkle paper.
My only recommendation with these toys is to mak the outer material stronger so that aggressive dogs can play with them.

An absolute hit for tug-of-war and keeping them busy!
If you have a pup that loves to thrash, toss, and carry their toys around all day, this octopus is an absolute game-changer.
Why It’s Great:
No Stuffing, No Mess: The absolute best feature is the lack of stuffing. If your dog manages to be determined enough to puncture it, you won't wake up to a living room looking like a snowstorm of white fluff.
Great for Interactive Play: With eight crinkly, flexible legs, it’s the perfect shape for a game of tug-of-war or for your dog to violently shake and flip around to burn off energy.
Engaging Textures: The combination of the soft fabric, crinkle paper sounds, and built-in squeakers keeps them thoroughly entertained and focused for more than just a few minutes.
Perfect Size: It's lightweight enough for smaller and medium breeds to easily grab by a tentacle and parade around the house, but substantial enough to feel like a "real" catch.
Things to Keep in Mind:
While it is listed as a "chew toy," it is still a plush/fabric toy at the end of the day. If you have an aggressive power-chewer who specializes in shredding fabric, you'll still want to supervise playtime. However, for normal chewing, carrying, tossing, and thrashing, it holds up beautifully.
Highly recommend for any dog owner looking to add a fun, interactive toy to the toy box!
