High in the eastern Himalayan foothills, people had a unique vantage point on the British Empire. The Mizo Discovery of the British Raj presents a history of Mizoram in Northeast India told from historical Indigenous perspectives of encounters with empire from the 1890s to the 1920s. Based on a wide range of research and enriched by sources newly digitised by the author through the British Library's Endangered Archives Programme, Kyle Jackson sheds new light on the complex and violent processes of how and why diverse populations of highland clans in the Indo-Burmese borderlands came to rede?ne themselves as Christian Mizos. By using historical Indigenous concepts and logics to approach early twentieth-century imperial encounters, Jackson guides readers into a decolonial history of Northeast India, demonstrating the value of thinking not just about the histories of colonized peoples and concepts but also with them.

Track and field season has arrived, and Mac is ready to report. Between last year's returning stars and standout newcomer Aleesha Ramos, the Predators are poised for an even better year at the state championships. That is, until practice ends, and meets begin. When the bleachers fill, Aleesha's sprinting is unremarkable. While the other sprinters warm up, Aleesha looks down. During races, she clips hurdles and loses speed. And afterward, she simply disappears. Mac is determined to find out why. Can Mac find out the cause behind the sprinter's poor performance? Or will the Predators lose their chance at a championship win? Stewart "Mac" McKenzie is THE sports expert at Coyote Canyon Middle School, and its best sports reporter. While he scores big on the court with his wheelchair basketball team, his love for all sports is equally epic. There isn't a stat he doesn't know, a player's name he doesn't recognize, a big game he hasn't seen.

When the Predators' starting quarterback, Ryan Mitchell, gets sacked at the end of a game, Mac seems to be the only one concerned about the hit . . . at first. And even though Mac does not report his off-the-record talk with Ryan, Mac--and his reporting--has a lot to do with Ryan being sidelined with a concussion. When Ryan's starting spot gets bumped by a replacement, Ryan is furious with Mac. What will it take to get Ryan back in the game? And what will Mac do when he finds out?

Mac loves uncovering stories, but ever since the arrival of new student Roe Danner, there's one story he just can't figure out. The introverted tennis prodigy may make herself known on the court, but off the court, she's a total mystery. And before long, Roe's playing starts sparking rumors too.

It's up to Mac to discover the truth behind Roe's odd antics. If he can do that, he might be able to stop the rumors and help bring Roe the fan support she needs.
