Download or read book The Road to Camelot written by Thomas Oliphant and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-05-09 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John F. Kennedy and his young warriors invented modern presidential politics. They turned over accepted wisdom that his Catholicism was a barrier to winning an election and plotted a successful course to that constituency. They hired Louis Harris -- a polling entrepreneur -- to become the first presidential pollster. They twisted arms and they charmed. They lined up party bosses, young enthusiasts, and fellow Catholics and turned the traditional party inside out. The last-minute invitation to Lyndon B. Johnson for vice president in 1956 surprised them only because they had failed to notice that he wanted it. They invented The Missile Gap in the Cold War and out-glamoured Richard Nixon in the TV debates. Now journalists Tom Oliphant and Curtis Wilkie provide the most comprehensive account, based on a depth of personal reporting, interviews, and archives. The authors have examined more than 1,600 oral histories at the John F. Kennedy library; they've interviewed surviving sources, including JFK's sister Jean Smith, and they draw on their own interviews with insiders including Ted Sorensen and Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. From the start of the campaign in 1955 when his father tried to persuade President Johnson to run with JFK as his running mate, The Road to Camelot reveals him as a tough, shrewd political strategist who kept his eye on the prize.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Bram Stoker Award for Best Novel In her quickly gentrifying rural lake town Jade sees recent events only her encyclopedic knowledge of horror films could have prepared her for in this latest chilling novel that “will give you nightmares. The good kind, of course” (BuzzFeed) from the Jordan Peele of horror literature, Stephen Graham Jones. “Some girls just don’t know how to die…” Shirley Jackson meets Friday the 13th in My Heart Is a Chainsaw, written by the New York Times bestselling author of The Only Good Indians Stephen Graham Jones, called “a literary master” by National Book Award winner Tananarive Due and “one of our most talented living writers” by Tommy Orange. Alma Katsu calls My Heart Is a Chainsaw “a homage to slasher films that also manages to defy and transcend genre.” On the surface is a story of murder in small-town America. But beneath is its beating heart: a biting critique of American colonialism, Indigenous displacement, and gentrification, and a heartbreaking portrait of a broken young girl who uses horror movies to cope with the horror of her own life. Jade Daniels is an angry, half-Indian outcast with an abusive father, an absent mother, and an entire town that wants nothing to do with her. She lives in her own world, a world in which protection comes from an unusual source: horror movies…especially the ones where a masked killer seeks revenge on a world that wronged them. And Jade narrates the quirky history of Proofrock as if it is one of those movies. But when blood actually starts to spill into the waters of Indian Lake, she pulls us into her dizzying, encyclopedic mind of blood and masked murderers, and predicts exactly how the plot will unfold. Yet, even as Jade drags us into her dark fever dream, a surprising and intimate portrait emerges…a portrait of the scared and traumatized little girl beneath the Jason Voorhees mask: angry, yes, but also a girl who easily cries, fiercely loves, and desperately wants a home. A girl whose feelings are too big for her body. My Heart Is a Chainsaw is her story, her homage to horror and revenge and triumph.

Download or read book The Most Unforgettable Moment written by Veronica M. E. Zuill and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-12-12 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Most Unforgettable Moment, without a doubt, personify the biggest mistake ever that four mischievous young boys, ages nineteen to fourteen years old, realized they had made. This page-turner will unquestionably captivate the reader like a powerful magnetic force. The story takes place in a little community called Cozy Nook City, possibly something like where you live or would like to live. The city is surrounded by high mountainous terrain, as well as several smaller hills. Strangely enough, the name uniquely implies it. Calamity after calamity, or some weird phenomenon, always interrupted the tranquility of the city each year. This time was obviously no different. The Mischievous Munchkins, nicknamed by several of the city’s eight thousand inhabitants, were desirous of being the first heroes to reach the summit of one of those hills. On the day they decided to put their plans into execution, it resulted not only in them putting their own lives in complete jeopardy but also putting the lives of many others, including their pet Rottweiler, Bully. He rescued the boys from what looked like a hopeless situation and ultimately became their superhero. They had made rather bad assumptions and were totally clueless about the heights of the terrain. These bad guesses not only caused the children to suffer tremendously from their own such misfortune but it also caused them to learn some very valuable lessons in the end. Mystery surrounded the hills. Tribal folklore that was passed down from generation to generation became alive once again, and many in Cozy Nook City still held on to those traditions and beliefs. Sadly, an experience on one of those hills left an indelible impact on the foursome. This book, full of mystery and adventure, represents characters and characteristics from which any child or young adult can glean. It can also be used as a resourceful teaching tool. Inclusive are several questions to ponder and answer, in addition to a five-hundred-plus word glossary, with the same words used in the story that will enhance the young reader’s vocabulary. Recommended for children ages nine to fourteen, yet it’s interesting and exciting enough to be enjoyed by teachers and adults alike.
