Download or read book Awaken the Witches the Spell Book and the Magic Tree written by Humphrey Quinn and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-07-20 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book in this popular fantasy series follows thirteen-year-old twins Meghan and Colin Jacoby as they are whisked into a world of magic and mystery, and in the process, free their own fates and ignite a prophecy made long ago. They find new friends, fun and adventure as well as deadly enemies and a dangerous mission in this spine-tingling supernatural saga. Colin Jacoby loves a trip to fantasyland. It's so much better than real life-which mostly consists of hiding from bullies. Or worse, his twin sister, Meghan. Nearly impossible to do when they can read each other's minds and she knows when humiliation is inevitable-his of course, never hers. Colin's favorite thing is to get lost in a good fantasy or sci-fi novel, but he never expected a free book gifted from a grizzled flea market owner to change his entire future within an hour after taking it out of the market. The giver of the book insists that Colin take good care of it-easier said than done when the book starts talking to you! And-is rude! And seems to have a mind and agenda of its own. But it's mostly rude to Meghan. Which Colin finds funny, and leave it to his sister to find a way to insult a book! But talking books, even rude ones, should not exist. Not in the real world, at least. Unless the world they've been living in isn't the real world, or the right one? But it's a world and a life that Meghan loves. It's predictable. And therefore, somewhat controllable. But for Colin, it's yet another day he has to rely on his twin sister to come to his rescue. But the book changes all that and gives Colin an incredible gift which he uses to stand up for himself, his friends, and much larger more frightening foe that should most definitely not exist in the real world. And the oddities don't stop at rude books! There's the new strangers in the campground who dress in fancy shoes and too warm overcoats for hiking in the woods. And the unnerving sounds echoing high over the treetops. Or the talking cat that jumps out of a fire. Or a bird that seems to be following them. And the hushed whispers of those they've always called relatives, or friends. And just when they think things can't get any crazier or more unbelievable, and that life is about to return to wonderful (according to Meghan) and boring (according to Colin) old normalsville, a series of unbelievable events leads to an unfortunate and shocking twist, and the real fantasy adventure begins....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “The Uninhabitable Earth hits you like a comet, with an overflow of insanely lyrical prose about our pending Armageddon.”—Andrew Solomon, author of The Noonday Demon NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New Yorker • The New York Times Book Review • Time • NPR • The Economist • The Paris Review • Toronto Star • GQ • The Times Literary Supplement • The New York Public Library • Kirkus Reviews It is worse, much worse, than you think. If your anxiety about global warming is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible—food shortages, refugee emergencies, climate wars and economic devastation. An “epoch-defining book” (The Guardian) and “this generation’s Silent Spring” (The Washington Post), The Uninhabitable Earth is both a travelogue of the near future and a meditation on how that future will look to those living through it—the ways that warming promises to transform global politics, the meaning of technology and nature in the modern world, the sustainability of capitalism and the trajectory of human progress. The Uninhabitable Earth is also an impassioned call to action. For just as the world was brought to the brink of catastrophe within the span of a lifetime, the responsibility to avoid it now belongs to a single generation—today’s. LONGLISTED FOR THE PEN/E.O. WILSON LITERARY SCIENCE WRITING AWARD “The Uninhabitable Earth is the most terrifying book I have ever read. Its subject is climate change, and its method is scientific, but its mode is Old Testament. The book is a meticulously documented, white-knuckled tour through the cascading catastrophes that will soon engulf our warming planet.”—Farhad Manjoo, The New York Times “Riveting. . . . Some readers will find Mr. Wallace-Wells’s outline of possible futures alarmist. He is indeed alarmed. You should be, too.”—The Economist “Potent and evocative. . . . Wallace-Wells has resolved to offer something other than the standard narrative of climate change. . . . He avoids the ‘eerily banal language of climatology’ in favor of lush, rolling prose.”—Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times “The book has potential to be this generation’s Silent Spring.”—The Washington Post “The Uninhabitable Earth, which has become a best seller, taps into the underlying emotion of the day: fear. . . . I encourage people to read this book.”—Alan Weisman, The New York Review of Books
