Download or read book Bumbelinda written by Kate Bodell and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warning: This is not your average fairy story! Bumbelinda is a TERRIBLE fairy; how she ever ended up as one is a mystery. Her wand is a fly swat, her tu-tu has gone poo-poo, and don’t even think about asking her to make your wishes come true, (I’m serious, don’t ask.) However, she is perfectly fine just bumbling and grumbling along by herself - until one day a little girl finds her and bursts with joy to have found a REAL LIFE FAIRY!!! (Boy, is she in for a surprise...) It’s not going to be easy to convince Bumbelinda to be her friend and maybe even make her two VERY IMPORTANT wishes come true, but with a fairy, isn’t anything possible??? This is a funny, funky fairy story about friendship, following dreams (and the occasional foul smell...) Inspired by the author’s teaching experiences with students, the girls who love typically ‘girly’ things, but who are also bold and opinionated, Bumbelinda turns the stereotypical fairy story on its head. With hand-drawn illustrations in a bold, bright style by the author, readers will be drawn into a crazy world of colour and all around chaos!

Download or read book A Daughter S Duty Part 1 written by Linda D. Coker and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-07-08 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Belinda Star is a highly decorated veteran of the United States Army. Her military background has created a woman adept in the art of battle, but even her specialized training and battlefield experiences could not prepare her to deal with the crimes committed by her own family. Crimes that not only were committed against the American public, but also against Belinda herself. In the midst of familial tension, Belinda must travel from Germany, where she lives with her active duty husband, back to the United States--back to a place and a family she left long ago. She knows that her mother has, once again, found herself in trouble with the law, but it is not until Belinda arrives that she realizes the extent of her mother's crimes and the secrets she has concealed. Despite the poor treatment Belinda has endured throughout her life at the hands of her own family, she finds herself alone in her efforts to save them from the debt they have created and the legal infractions they have committed. Violence. Alcoholism. Theft. Impersonation. The list of problems within Belinda's family is long, yet she remains steadfast in her commitment to them. Even when Belinda is the only family member who has surfaced to help, her family continues their lies and betrayal, causing Belinda to question her own pledges of allegiance to them time and time again. Belinda must remain the stoic and steadfast soldier she has always been to pull back the layers and layers of deceit and mystery her family has created over several decades. As Belinda uncovers the family secrets her mother will do anything to conceal, she begins to discover even more about her heritage and, consequently, even more about herself. Through her diligence and skill, Belinda not only finds a way to right the wrongs her family has committed, but she also learns a great deal about the true meaning of a daughter's duty.

Download or read book The Klondike Fever The Life And Death Of The Last Great Gold Rush written by Pierre Berton and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 693 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Absolutely first-rate.”—The New Yorker This thrilling story is at once first-rate history and first-rate entertainment. Incredible events occurred in North America after a decrepit steamboat docked at Seattle in 1897 containing two tons of pure gold. So frenzied was the clash for gold and so scant was information about conditions in the Klondike that the rush for riches became a kind of fabulous madness. The entire tale—of which Pierre Berton’s account is the definitive telling—has an epic ring (legends were lived and fortunes were won) as much because of its splendid folly as because of its color and motion. “The definitive account of an affair as wildly improbable as any in North American history.”—Saturday Review “A lively saga of the great gold rush. It is the most complete and most authentic on the subject in English.”—The New York Times Book Review
