One very rainy day, Hazel is stuck in her apartment with her cat Casper wondering if it will ever stop raining. She decides to look at the assignment her teacher, Mrs. Lovelock has given to her class. She discovers that her class has been asked to write a paper on the loch Ness monster. Hazel thinks this a crazy thing to ask her class to write about since everyone knows that theres no such thing as the loch Ness monster. She decides instead to take a nap. Hazel is suddenly awakened by noises coming from her closet. It sounds like water dripping. She thinks that there must be a leak in the roof and that all her clothes will be ruined. She then hears what sounds like a whistle. Like that heard on an old naval ship. Hazel looks at her cat Casper and says, now thats really weird. Hazel finally decides to open her closet door and see whats going on. She turns the knob and suddenly the doors blows off its hinges with a great gust of wind. She and Casper hide under her bed. The next things she sees is her next door neighbor, Mr. Peachtree, dressed as a pirate. He has a patch over one eye and a wooden peg leg where his real leg used to be. Hazel asks him what he is doing in her closet, and why he is dressed the way he is. Mr. Peachtree tells her its all part of the adventure to find the loch Ness monster. He tells her that a ship is waiting for them to board and be on their way. Hazel is a bit hesitant, but then she hears her friends Trudy and Poo calling her to join them from inside her closet. She decides that since her friends are on board, it must be okay. With that Hazel and Casper follow Mr. Peachtree across the threshold of her closet and onto the great ship Petunia. And so the adventure begins...

Download or read book The Worst Hard Time written by Timothy Egan and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2006-09-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a tour de force of historical reportage, Timothy Egan’s National Book Award–winning story rescues an iconic chapter of American history from the shadows. The dust storms that terrorized the High Plains in the darkest years of the Depression were like nothing ever seen before or since. Following a dozen families and their communities through the rise and fall of the region, Timothy Egan tells of their desperate attempts to carry on through blinding black dust blizzards, crop failure, and the death of loved ones. Brilliantly capturing the terrifying drama of catastrophe, he does equal justice to the human characters who become his heroes, “the stoic, long-suffering men and women whose lives he opens up with urgency and respect” (New York Times). In an era that promises ever-greater natural disasters, The Worst Hard Time is “arguably the best nonfiction book yet” (Austin Statesman Journal) on the greatest environmental disaster ever to be visited upon our land and a powerful reminder about the dangers of trifling with nature. This e-book includes a sample chapter of THE IMMORTAL IRISHMAN.

Seventeen-year-old Alice and her mother have spent most of Alice’s life on the road, always a step ahead of the uncanny bad luck biting at their heels. But when Alice’s grandmother, the reclusive author of a cult-classic book of pitch-dark fairy tales, dies alone on her estate, the Hazel Wood, Alice learns how bad her luck can really get: Her mother is stolen away—by a figure who claims to come from the Hinterland, the cruel supernatural world where her grandmother's stories are set. Alice's only lead is the message her mother left behind: “Stay away from the Hazel Wood.” Alice has long steered clear of her grandmother’s cultish fans. But now she has no choice but to ally with classmate Ellery Finch, a Hinterland superfan who may have his own reasons for wanting to help her. To retrieve her mother, Alice must venture first to the Hazel Wood, then into the world where her grandmother's tales began—and where she might find out how her own story went so wrong. Don’t miss the bestselling sequel to The Hazel Wood, The Night Country or the illustrated collection of twelve fairy tales, Tales from the Hinterland!
