Out of fear for their safety, their father, an outspoken journalist, decides to smuggle the children out of Nigeria and into London, where their uncle lives. But when they get to the cold and massive city, they find themselves lost and alone, with no one to trust and no idea when -- or if -- they will ever see their father again. The Other Side of Truth is a gripping adventure story about courage, family, and the power of truth.

To win the Olympic gold medal is perhaps the rarest occasion when the gods are on your side, so to speak. As an athlete you have to be in the best shape of your life and your performances have to impress the judges in such a way that they know you are the best in the world. Andreea was an Olympic Champion and experienced the euphoria and elation that comes with being an Olympic champion — something that only a few people ever experience. More amazing was the all-around championship result (a Romanian 1-2-3) and while Andreea was still receiving congratulatory messages from Romania and abroad, the nightmare began. In only a few moments our extreme joy turned into bewilderment, despair, frustration and indignation at a decision that is very difficult to explain, even today. It is for this reason that this book attempts to revisit those events as accurately as possible.”

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →55 Olympic medals. 6 Tour de France victories. Countless world records and world championship victories. Since the year 2000, British Cycling, Team Sky and INEOS have dominated the sport of cycling to an unprecedented degree. But at what cost? Did Sir David Brailsford, Peter Keen and the other brains behind British Cycling's massive and sudden dominance in the modern era find a winning "Moneyball" formula? Or did their success come down to luck and personal chemistry? Did this organisation, founded on relentless, ruthless efficiency contain contradictions which threatened to overwhelm it, amid accusations of drug-taking, bullying and sexism? The Medal Factory tells the full story from amateurish beginnings through a sports-science revolution to an all-conquering, yet flawed, machine. Through interviews with Brailsford and Keen, Shane Sutton, Fran Millar, Chris Boardman, Sir Chris Hoy and many other key players, Kenny Pryde interrogates the parts of the story - lottery funding, marginal gains - that we think we know, and reveals others that have remained hidden, until now.

But before that, he was a little boy who saw art everywhere: in poetry books and museums, in games and in the words that we speak, and in the pulsing energy of New York City. Now, award-winning illustrator Javaka Steptoe's vivid text and bold artwork echoing Basquiat's own introduce young readers to the powerful message that art doesn't always have to be neat or clean--and definitely not inside the lines--to be beautiful.
