Apprentice to the villain [electronic resource]. by Maehrer, Hannah Nicole.; Eldridge, Em.;
Narrator: Em Eldridge.NOTICE TO STAFF: There has been a disturbing increase in cheeriness, sprightly behavior, and overall optimism. Please resume your former dark, ominous terrors at your earliest convenience. —Mgmt Evie Sage has never been happier to be the assistant to The Villain. Who would have thought that working for an outrageously handsome, evil overlord would be so rewarding? Still, the business of being bad is demanding, the forces of good are annoyingly persistent, and said forbidding boss is somewhat . . . out-of-evil-office . But Rennedawn is in trouble, and all signs—Kingsley's included—point to catastrophe. Something peculiar is happening with the kingdom's magic, and it's made The Villain's manor vulnerable to their enemies . . . including their nemesis, the king. Now it's time for Evie to face her greatest challenge: protecting The Villain's lair, his nefarious works, and maybe the entire kingdom. No pressure, Evie. It's time to step out of her comfort zone and learn new skills. Like treason. Dagger work. Conspiring with the enemy. It's all so . . . so . . . delightfully fun . But what happens when the assistant to The Villain is ready to become his apprentice? Contains mature themes.Requires the Libby app or a modern web browser.

Assistant to the villain [electronic resource]. by Maehrer, Hannah Nicole.; Eldridge, Em.;
Narrator: Em Eldridge.ASSISTANT WANTED: Notorious, high-ranking villain seeks loyal, levelheaded assistant for unspecified office duties, supporting staff for random mayhem, terror, and other Dark Things In General. Discretion a must. Excellent benefits. With ailing family to support, Evie Sage's employment status isn't just important, it's vital. So when a mishap with Rennedawn's most infamous Villain results in a job offer—naturally, she says yes. No job is perfect, of course, but even less so when you develop a teeny crush on your terrifying, temperamental, and undeniably hot boss. Don't find evil so attractive, Evie. But just when she's getting used to severed heads suspended from the ceiling and the odd squish of an errant eyeball beneath her heel, Evie suspects this dungeon has a huge rat . . . and not just the literal kind. Because something rotten is growing in the kingdom of Rennedawn, and someone wants to take the Villain—and his entire nefarious empire—out. Now Evie must not only resist drooling over her boss but also figure out exactly who is sabotaging his work . . . and ensure he makes them pay. After all, a good job is hard to find.

Critical race theory and its critics : implications for research and teaching / by López, Francesca A.,1974-author.; Sleeter, Christine E.,1948-author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 116-134) and index.Critical race theory as the new villain -- How did we get here? -- Research on the impact of teaching about race -- Messaging : how think tanks and the media exploit emotions toward agendas -- Where do we go from here?"What and who is behind the attacks on Critical Race Theory? Why are attacks happening now, and what can be done about them? In Critical Race Theory and its Critics, Francesca López and Christine Sleeter provide readers with an overview of today's controversy, contextualizing the immediate precursors to the attacks on critical race theory and other equity-focused approaches in schools, as well as the organized reaction by conservative think tanks to undermine equity efforts. Contrary to claims by critics of critical race theory, research supports addressing racism in the classroom as part of a broader effort to ensure that all children thrive. Today's attacks, while new in form, are not new in substance and purpose, as an historical account of parallel efforts aimed at undermining equity shows. Given the recursive nature of attacks and the extent to which they have eroded policies aimed at eradicating systemic inequities, Critical Race Theory and its Critics concludes with evidence-based recommendations on messaging, organizing, and sharing of research"--
