Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The follow-up to the bestselling Tomorrow series BOOK 1 IN THE ELLIE CHRONICLES TRILOGY "Addictive reading" Sydney Morning Herald "Australia's king of young adult fiction" The Australian We were halfway up the spur when we heard it. Homer and Gavin and I, just the three of us... I'd say there were fifteen shots in the first volley, evenly spaced, lasting about twenty-five seconds... All the way down the spur I'd heard the scattered shots, getting closer as I got closer, and all the way down I tried to think of reasonable explanations for them, and I couldn't think of a single thing that made sense. The town of Wirrawee is emerging from war, slowly, like a flower after a cold snap. Businesses are starting to reopen, the school has re-commenced classes, and local farmers are gradually repossessing their land. But it's not the same Australia as before the war. A new nation exists just a few miles away, a new border that separates Australia from its invaders. Or does it? For Ellie Linton, being back on the farm with her parents is what makes the terrible things that happened during the war - the things she, Homer, Lee, Fi and the others had to do - all worthwhile. It's where she belongs. But the war won't let her go. A devastating tragedy has shattered any hope she ever had to reclaim her life, or herself. It's a new kind of fight. And the enemy isn't always from the other side of the border. Fans of Veronica Roth, Suzanne Collins and John Flanagan will love John Marsden.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-silent voices of Richard and Ellen Goldwaite, a newly married couple separated by Richard's service in the Union army, come to life in this collection of their wartime correspondence. Seemingly forgotten for years, tucked away in a burlap sack, these letters provide a first-hand account of the effects of the Civil War on one couple and chronicle the separation and loss, sorrow and despair, loneliness and fear, and longing for peace and happier times that war brings--and the conflict between disillusionment and loneliness, duty and honor that Richard's longing for his young bride forces him to confront. These 132 letters, written from 1861 to 1863, chronologically follow Richard's service throughout the war: his voluntary enlistment; his service on a Union ferry; time spent in the Union Coast Guard; postings in Virginia and North Carolina; and his return home. A brief explanation introduces each group of letters. An introduction details the Goldwaites' lives before the war, and an epilogue tells of their life together afterwards. The text is illustrated with more than 40 photographs. Appendices include a history of Goldwaite's regiment and an account of his company's service in the Mexican War; newspaper accounts of events described in the letters; orders for Goldwaite's postings; details about the deaths of colleagues in the war; and military communications between Richard Goldwaite and other servicemen. There is a preface and a bibliography.

Download or read book A Light on the Magdalena written by Junelle M. Preston and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2022-10-31 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It started on the Magdalena River, the 1960s when life had been simple and reassuring. A river and pueblos ready to absorb the gospel message her Christian missionary family would bring. A river where Ellie suddenly changed, that birthday when two books arrived: Uncle Tom’s Cabin about American slavery, and The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank with its Nazi overlay. Books full of sorrow and evil that she’d never heard of, so different to past tales of romance and happy endings. Now it became a painful time when life was no longer simple; her parents whose Bible message had always seemed purposeful and right, and her mentor the ex-priest with secrets of his own, teaching her compassion and mercy. Also Aunt Lizzie, an irreverent model of womanhood and freedom for Ellie to observe. And high on the admiration scale was Dr. Britten, that wonderful man living a wealthy secluded life behind the river. This is a coming of age story. An honest unflinching look at Ellie young and lonely, trying to hold onto innocence while at the same time struggling to define her own belief system as events begin to crash down around her. Who can she trust, and is she strong enough to succeed and run with that freedom she optimistically craves?
