Download or read book How to Rescue a Dead Princess written by Jeff Strand and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-06-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the year 2000, future Bram Stoker Award-winning author Jeff Strand published one of his earliest novels, How to Rescue a Dead Princess. Readership was extremely small...actually, let's go with "intimate." It was an incredibly goofy fantasy comedy, the work of an author who didn't yet have a speck of silver in his hair, much less the gray onslaught that's going on now. The book disappeared for many years. People pleaded with Mr. Strand to reissue it. "It's not my best work!" he snarled. "There are lots of other books in the world-read those!" But now, on its 24th anniversary, Mr. Strand has succumbed to peer pressure and brought it back! It's the saga of Randall, a squire assigned to escort the lovely Princess Dolores on a diplomatic journey of utmost importance. Then she gets killed. Now Randall must overcome desperate odds and ridiculous dangers in his quest to bring her back to life...before the entire Generic Fantasy Land falls into the evil clutches of The Dark One! How to Rescue a Dead Princess. The greatest comedic fantasy novel of all time? An immature work that tries too hard? YOU decide.

Their team was slaughtered, and they were left for dead. Neither man ever foresaw a life of peace, but gazing into the eyes of the young, defiant princess for the first time, they catch a glimpse of what could become their world. How far will they go to make the enigmatic royal theirs? Kidnapping. Torture. Imprisonment. Can these two "princes" beat the odds, save the princess, and live happily ever after? Or is Arianna destined to die, imprisoned by a curse out of control?

Download or read book The Great Cave Rescue written by James Massola and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2018-11-14 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complete story of the miraculous rescue of the Wild Boars soccer team boys and their coach in Tham Luang cave in northern Thailand in July 2018. The extraordinary story of the Thai cave rescue is now the subject of a major feature film, The Rescue Keen to go exploring after soccer practice, the boys of the Wild Boars soccer team ignored the sign at the cave entrance warning visitors not to enter during the monsoon season. What followed was a high-stakes international mission that very nearly didn't succeed. The ordeal riveted millions around the world. First came the awful news that twelve Thai boys, aged 11 to 17, and their young coach were missing. Then the flickering video of the huddle of anxious and hungry boys found by a pair of British divers nine days later. But the most difficult part was yet to come. Monsoon rains had raised the water level in the cave system, and the boys were trapped in an air pocket, surrounded by rising muddy water, over two kilometres from the cave entrance. None of them knew how to dive. Expert British, Australian, American, Chinese and other international divers joined the Thai Navy SEALs and hundreds of local volunteers to mount one of the most risky and complex rescue operations the world has ever seen. Australian doctor Richard Harris and his dive partner, Craig Challen, were among the last out of the cave, 18 days later. Massola recreates the drama, tension and inspiration of the days in July 2018 when the eyes of the whole world were trained on a remote Thai mountain.

Download or read book Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Play from Birth and Beyond written by Sandra Lynch and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-27 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While firmly acknowledging the importance of play in early childhood, this book interrogates the assumption that play is a birthright. It pushes beyond traditional understandings of play to ask questions such as: what is the relationship between play and the arts – theatre, music and philosophy – and between play and wellbeing? How is play relevant to educational practice in the rapidly changing circumstances of today’s world? What do Australian Aboriginal conceptions of play have to offer understandings of play? The book examines how ideas of play evolve as children increasingly interact with popular culture and technology, and how developing notions of play have changed our work spaces, teaching practices, curricula, and learning environments, as well as our understanding of relationships between children and adults. This multidisciplinary volume on the subject of play combines the work of some of the world’s leading researchers in the field of early childhood education with contributions from distinguished and emerging scholars in areas as diverse as education, theatre studies, architecture, literature, philosophy, cultural studies, theology and the creative arts. Reconsidering the common focus on play in early education, to investigate its broader impact, this collection offers a refreshing and valuable addition to studies on play, reconceptualizing it for the 21st century.

Jessica Stone doesn’t even like being part of the Starfield franchise—and she’s desperate to leave the intense scrutiny of fandom behind. Though Imogen and Jess have nothing in common, they do look strangely similar to one another—and a case of mistaken identity at ExcelsiCon sets off a chain of events that will change both of their lives. When the script for the Starfield sequel leaks, with all signs pointing to Jess, she and Imogen must trade places to find the person responsible. The deal: Imogen will play Jess at her signings and panels, and Jess will help Imogen’s best friend run their booth. But as these “princesses” race to find the script leaker—in each other’s shoes—they’re up against more than they bargained for. From the darker side of fandom to unexpected crushes, Imogen and Jess must find a way to rescue themselves from their own expectations . . . and redefine what it means to live happily ever after.
