Download or read book Bonnie s New Auntie written by Marcus Shields and published by Telostic Publishing. This book was released on 2021-11-20 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet Bonnie Billings : a 16-year-old “C” student with “D” looks and an “E” future ahead of her, living in a “C” household in the Phoenix, Arizona of the 2040s. A lot’s been happening “out there” lately, but neither Bonnie nor her family pay much attention; they’re too preoccupied with keeping up with the Joneses and – in Bonnie’s case – in surviving non-stop bullying from the “in-crowd” at her dreary, run-of-the mill, suburban high-school. This evening, her father’s younger brother – one “Bob Billings” from Tucson – is coming over for dinner, after a prolonged, unexplained absence. Uncle Bob’s bringing his whole clan, but Bonnie despises boring family get-togethers… and her uncle has a new trophy girlfriend, who’s everything that Bonnie had forlornly hoped to be, but came in “last in class” about. And what’s even worse (so she’s been told) is – adding insult to injury – this way-too-young-looking woman is now going to be Bonnie’s “Auntie”! The Billings teenager hates Uncle Bob’s new “squeeze”, sight-unseen; but Bonnie’s new “Auntie” is unlike anyone who has ever set foot on Planet Earth… and Bonnie’s “C” lifestyle is in for a big change!

Download or read book The Dark Fantastic written by Ebony Elizabeth Thomas and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, 2022 Children's Literature Association Book Award, given by the Children's Literature Association Winner, 2020 World Fantasy Awards Winner, 2020 British Fantasy Awards, Nonfiction Finalist, Creative Nonfiction IGNYTE Award, given by FIYACON for BIPOC+ in Speculative Fiction Reveals the diversity crisis in children's and young adult media as not only a lack of representation, but a lack of imagination Stories provide portals into other worlds, both real and imagined. The promise of escape draws people from all backgrounds to speculative fiction, but when people of color seek passageways into the fantastic, the doors are often barred. This problem lies not only with children’s publishing, but also with the television and film executives tasked with adapting these stories into a visual world. When characters of color do appear, they are often marginalized or subjected to violence, reinforcing for audiences that not all lives matter. The Dark Fantastic is an engaging and provocative exploration of race in popular youth and young adult speculative fiction. Grounded in her experiences as YA novelist, fanfiction writer, and scholar of education, Thomas considers four black girl protagonists from some of the most popular stories of the early 21st century: Bonnie Bennett from the CW’s The Vampire Diaries, Rue from Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games, Gwen from the BBC’s Merlin, and Angelina Johnson from J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter. Analyzing their narratives and audience reactions to them reveals how these characters mirror the violence against black and brown people in our own world. In response, Thomas uncovers and builds upon a tradition of fantasy and radical imagination in Black feminism and Afrofuturism to reveal new possibilities. Through fanfiction and other modes of counter-storytelling, young people of color have reinvisioned fantastic worlds that reflect their own experiences, their own lives. As Thomas powerfully asserts, “we dark girls deserve more, because we are more.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dying is not for the faint of heart... ...Neither is the murder of a mysterious philanthropist with ties to the Russian mob and 1939 gangsters. At an A-list charity ball organized by his wife, Angela, former detective Oliver "Tuck" Tucker is doing his best to prove that ghosts know how to have a good time—until a man is murdered in cold blood on the dance floor. Never one to let a mystery go unsolved, Tuck is on the case with help from Angela and his former police-detective partners. Together, they must be the first to read "the book"—deceased gangster Vincent Calabrese's journal that names names and reveals the dirty secrets of several modern-day spies. As Tuck learns the book's secrets, he begins to unravel his own family's wayward past, leading to the question—is being a ghost hereditary? Even while chasing a killer, the biggest challenge Tuck must conquer is how to be back amongst the living...but not one of them.

Book excerpt: Based on a true story, Nine ½ Months takes readers on a journey from frantic fear to loving truth.Gracie—25, single, alone in New York city, and just starting her career in advertising—has high hopes for her future until an unplanned pregnancy shatters her dreams and leaves her frantic and alone. Her boyfriend, Lee, vanishes and Gracie can’t fathom raising a baby alone in the city and believes her only option is to have an abortion. As she sits on the exam table, ready to begin the procedure, the doctor shows her the baby’s heartbeat and suddenly Gracie isn’t sure she can stop a beating heart. She leaves the office in tears and confusion and a mysterious cab driver picks her up; thus, beginning her journey to find truth and meaning. An invisible force, more powerful than a freight train, orchestrates events that transform and change her life. She soon recognizes this force as God and begins to see a glimmer of truth, courage, and hope for a new future. Most women, whether believers or non-believers, young or old, married or single, have experienced the fright of the pregnancy test stick turning pink for positive. Since the historic Roe v. Wade decision to legalize abortion, millions of babies are never born. These babies have no voice. No choice. Nine ½ Months inspires and encourages women of all ages to choose life for their unborn babies. Based on Bonnie Prestel’s life, Gracie’s story gives women the courage to take a leap of faith to follow God, do things His way, and think twice before terminating a life.
