Download or read book Foothills Fae Academy Book One written by Callie Woodridge and published by Callie Woodridge . This book was released on 2024-06-23 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disclaimer: This book has multiple POVs and is quite lengthy. If you enjoy multiple viewpoints and don't mind a longer read, you may enjoy it. However, this one will not be for you if you prefer short books or one or two POVs. I'm putting this warning here now so you're not surprised by the length or the POVs, and you can find a book that would be more enjoyable for you. The characters will be immature because they are thirteen. The characters mature with each book. The last two books, in particular, will be more mature, so discretion is advised when reading this series because this book is the most innocent out of the three, since they are thirteen. Please read the trigger warning and disclaimer at the front of the book just in case you don't want to read it with the subject matter. Welcome to Foothills Fae Academy, where four thirteen-year-old students embark on a journey to master the power of the elements: Earth, Air, Fire, and Wind. Ben, Amber, Ellen, and Michael forge a strong bond as they navigate the challenges of the school, but they soon realize that their training goes beyond preparing for adulthood – dangerous Dark Magic Wielders now threaten their world. As the four friends hone their abilities and embrace their true Fae potential, Ben and Amber discover they possess a special gift that puts them in grave danger. Set in 1999, this thrilling fantasy adventure follows their quest to defend against the malevolent Dark Magic Wielders while honing their skills as aspiring Fae. Join them as they prepare to face an epic battle and unravel the mysteries that lie within the magical realm. This is a coming-of-age story where the characters start at thirteen in the first book and mature into adults by the last one. The series leans more towards New Adult (NA) than Young Adult (YA) due to the content in the last two books, which might be inappropriate for certain YA age groups. While the first two books fit YA, the rating is specifically for the last two books, where the characters are adults, and I've written them to reflect that progression. Reader discretion is advised, especially for younger readers.

Download or read book A View From The Foothills written by Chris Mullin and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 785 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'It is said that failed politicians make the best diarists. In which case I am in with a chance.' Chris Mullin Chris Mullin has been a Labour MP for twenty years, and despite his refusal to toe the party line - on issues like 90 days detention, for example - he has held several prominent posts. To the apoplexy of the whips, he was for a time the only person appointed to government who voted against the Iraq War. He also chaired the Home Affairs Select Committee and was a member of the Parliamentary Committee, giving him direct access to the court of Tony Blair. Irreverent, wry and candid, Mullin's keen sense of the ridiculous allows him to give a far clearer insight into the workings of Government than other, more overtly successful politicians. He offers humorous and incisive takes on all aspects of political life: from the build-up to Iraq, to the scandalous sums of tax-payers' money spent on ministerial cars he didn't want to use. His critically acclaimed diary will entertain and amuse far beyond the political classes.
