After all, we want to be able to save our parents from the meras. I wish I could have rested there, but these terrifying nightmares wouldn’t stop. Enemies in the forest and my dreams wouldn’t leave me alone, and so I tried to stop a mera on my own. Now I’ve uncovered secrets that destroyed my world.

Luckily, they end up in an abandoned chimera base. The base proves to be useful, containing all the tools June needs to make more of her machines. The group plans to stay until June can construct more machines. As her nightmares become more frequent, though, Sam is anxious to leave and find her parents and return to normal. For the good of humanity, June's special machines take precedence. When Sam makes a rash decision, her entire world comes to a halt as secrets unfold that she never saw coming. In a stupor, she runs away from the base and gets lost in the forest. As enemies surround her, she becomes more and more like the prisoners in Bunker 3. Can she recover in time to find her parents?

Download or read book Alta California written by Nick Neely and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This national bestseller chronicles one man’s 650–mile trek on foot from San Diego to San Francisco—sure to appeal to readers of naturalist works like Edward Abbey’s Desert Solitaire, Paul Thoreau’s On the Plain of Snakes, and Mark Kenyon’s That Wild Country. In 1769, an expedition led by Gaspar de Portolá sketched a route that would become, in part, the famous El Camino Real. It laid the foundation for the Golden State we know today, a place that remains as mythical and captivating as any in the world. Despite having grown up in California, Nick Neely realized how little he knew about its history. So he set off to learn it bodily, with just a backpack and a tent, trekking through stretches of California both lonely and urban. For twelve weeks, following the journal of expedition missionary Father Juan Crespí, Neely kept pace with the ghosts of the Portolá expedition—nearly 250 years later. Weaving natural and human history, Alta California relives Neely’s adventure, while telling a story of Native cultures and the Spanish missions that soon devastated them, and exploring the evolution of California and its landscape. The result is a collage of historical and contemporary California, of lyricism and pedestrian serendipity, and of the biggest issues facing California today—water, agriculture, oil and gas, immigration, and development—all of it one step at a time. “Rich in little–known history . . . Up the Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo county coasts, then inland into the Salinas Valley to Monterey Bay. Somewhere along here, the owl moons and woodpeckers do something you might not have thought possible in 2019: they make you fall, or refall, in love with California, ungrudgingly, wildfires and insane housing prices and all . . . What a journey, you think. What a state." —San Francisco Chronicle

Download or read book Lovely One written by Ketanji Brown Jackson and published by Random House. This book was released on 2024-09-03 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In her “vulnerable, tender, and infinitely inspirational” (Oprah Daily) memoir, the first Black woman to ever be appointed to the Supreme Court of the United States chronicles her extraordinary life story. “A billowingly triumphant American tale.”—The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) With this unflinching account, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson invites readers into her life and world, tracing her family’s ascent from segregation to her confirmation on America’s highest court within the span of one generation. Named “Ketanji Onyika,” meaning “Lovely One,” based on a suggestion from her aunt, a Peace Corps worker stationed in West Africa, Justice Jackson learned from her educator parents to take pride in her heritage since birth. She describes her resolve as a young girl to honor this legacy and realize her dreams: from hearing stories of her grandparents and parents breaking barriers in the segregated South, to honing her voice in high school as an oratory champion and student body president, to graduating magna cum laude from Harvard, where she performed in musical theater and improv and participated in pivotal student organizations. Here, Justice Jackson pulls back the curtain, marrying the public record of her life with what is less known. She reveals what it takes to advance in the legal profession when most people in power don’t look like you, and to reconcile a demanding career with the joys and sacrifices of marriage and motherhood. Through trials and triumphs, Justice Jackson’s journey will resonate with dreamers everywhere, especially those who nourish outsized ambitions and refuse to be turned aside. This moving, openhearted tale will spread hope for a more just world, for generations to come.

Download or read book The Guardian of the Opal Filly written by Hadi hans and published by Hadi hans. This book was released on 2023-12-23 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Guardian of the Opal Filly beautifully encapsulates the heart of this fantasy epic we've woven - Sarah's preordained hero's quest to protect the rare winged unicorn foal who came into her care. I love how the title elegantly alludes to the deep soul bond between the two of them while also feeling sweepingly mystical. I sincerely enjoyed crafting this tale - chapter by chapter, wonder by wonder - and sending the two of them through larger-than-life adventures among ancient pantheons and realms of magic to meet their intertwined destiny. Should inspiration ever strike to revisit Sarah, the filly and their allies, I would relish helping tell more of their story or chronicle new characters seeking their own epic sagas among mystical landscapes. This has been a true creative pleasure!
