Mapping the BonesFrom the best selling and award winning author of The Devil's Arithmetic, Jane Yolen, comes her first Holocaust novel in nearly thirty years. Influenced by Dr. Mengele's sadistic experimentations, this story follows twins as they travel from the Lodz ghetto, to the partisans in the forest, to a horrific concentration camp where they lose everything but each other.

From the best-selling and award-winning author of The Devil's Arithmetic, Jane Yolen, comes her first Holocaust novel in nearly thirty years. Influenced by Dr. Mengele's sadistic experimentations, this story follows twins as they travel from the Lodz ghetto, to the partisans in the forest, to a horrific concentration camp where they lose everything but each other.

It's 1942 in Poland, and the world is coming to pieces. At least that's how it seems to Chaim and Gittel, twins whose lives feel like a fairy tale torn apart, with evil witches, forbidden forests, and dangerous ovens looming on the horizon. But in all darkness there is light, and the twins find it through Chaim's poetry and the love they have for each other. Like the bright flame of a Yahrzeit candle, his words become a beacon of memory so that the children and grandchildren of survivors will never forget the atrocities that happened during the Holocaust.

Filled with brutality and despair, this is also a story of poetry and strength, in which a brother and sister lose everything but each other. Nearly thirty years after the publication of her award-winning and bestselling The Devil's Arithmetic and Briar Rose, Yolen once again returns to World War II and captivates her readers with the authenticity and power of her words.

The SCRUB
Color: 2 Pack
Perfect amount of abrasion for a mans skin. Gets all the dead skin off, without leaving red marks. it does eat your soap faster, but that just means you're cleaner or something, right? Anyway, great product, came as expected, didn't fall apart yet after a month of use. Very easy to use just throw your soap bar in there, and leave it in a wire basket to dry off after your shower.

Smooth Skin
Color: 2 Pack
Very happy with these soap bags. Once it's wet it puffs up quite a bit which makes it easy to handle as your larger your skin. My skin feels so smooth, especially my feet...feels as if I'd just had a pedicure.

Great natural exfoliation and keeps soap longer
Color: 2 Pack, Color: 2 Pack
I really like these Dewlavelle soap bags made from natural Egyptian loofah. They’re a simple idea, but they work really well in the shower. Just place your bar soap inside, wet it, and it creates a rich lather while gently exfoliating your skin. Pros: Natural loofah material gives great exfoliation without being too harsh Creates a nice, rich foam with bar soap Helps use up small leftover pieces of soap instead of wasting them Dries quickly between uses Long hanging loop makes it easy to hang in the shower Comes in a convenient 2-pack Cons: Texture may feel a little rough for very sensitive skin Needs to be rinsed and hung to dry to keep it fresh Overall, these are a great addition to a shower routine. They help your soap last longer and give your skin a nice exfoliating cleanse at the same time. Great value for a natural product.
