"You have to do it. You must escape today. It's your best chance." Ferenc "Feri" Schatz is an escapee from a Jewish labor camp, during an atrocious period of anti-Semitism orchestrated by Adolf Hitler; otherwise known as the Holocaust. After a chance meeting with his brother-in-law Bela, Feri begins to risk his life, filling out fake documents for Jews on the run from Nazis and fascists. Feri demonstrates the character traits of  bravery and benevolence throughout the Holocaust, valiantly doing whatever he could to help Jews in need. Unlike millions of other Jews, Feri survived the Holocaust, and eventually founded the Council on Foreign Policy, in Lake Placid, New York.

“Pari, niswa nafeer…” “What he said, it means: Go forth, king…” After Carter and Sadie Kane’s father disappears in a golden coffin inside the British Museum, they’re hardly prepared for Sadie’s cat, Muffin, to turn into the cat goddess Bast. Bast then tells them that they are hosts for the Egyptian immortals Horus and Isis, and also mentions that Carter will have to battle Set for kingship of mortal and immortal Egypt on December 28th. Carter shows the character traits bravery and selflessness through the duration of the book, even when his live is in mortal danger. The elderly Chief Lector, Iskandar, passes away in this book, but if it were a movie, I think Tim Allen should put his beard back on, and play Iskandar while he’s alive.
