Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ribbit is a great, sword-wielding hero whose battles against evil are legendary in his small town of Lily Pad Hollow; at least in his mind he is. In reality, Ribbit is just a young frog with big dreams. When flies mysteriously stop coming to the Hollow, putting everyone in danger, Ribbit jumps at the opportunity to show just what he's made of. The only problem: no frog that has ever dared try to cross the cattail borders has ever returned. But that wasn't going to scare Ribbit away from fulfilling his dream of leaving the Hollow and returning a hero. His two best friends, Phinn and Croak, join him as he embarks on a thrilling adventure leaving his small town behind and traveling into the unknown. Along the way, the three frogs meet creatures beyond their wildest imagination and come face to face with an enemy more evil than any of Ribbit's imaginary foes. Will they be able to return the missing flies and live to tell the tale?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1960, Helge Ingstad and Anne Stine Ingstad made a discovery that rewrote the history of European exploration and colonization of North America – a thousand-year-old Viking settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland. In A Grand Adventure, the Ingstads’ daughter Benedicte tells the story of their remarkable lives spent working together, sharing poignant details from her parents' private letters, personal diaries, their dinner table conversations, and Benedicte’s own participation in her parents' excavations. Following young Helge Ingstad from his 1926 decision to abandon a successful law practice for North American expeditions through Canada's Barren Lands, Alaska's Anaktuvuk Pass, and the mountains of northern Mexico, the story recounts his governorship of Norwegian territories and marriage to Anne Stine Moe. The author then traces Helge and Anne Stine's travels around the world, focusing in particular on their discovery of the Viking settlement at the northern tip of Newfoundland. With Anne Stine as the head archaeologist, they excavate these ruins for eight years, while weathering destructive skepticism from academic peers, until indisputable evidence is unearthed and their find is confirmed. A remarkable look at a personal and professional relationship, A Grand Adventure shows two explorers' unrelenting drive and unfailing courage.
