Download or read book Daniel The Age of Discovery written by Peter Pactor and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2016-01-07 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daniel French is the twelve-year old son of one of the world’s wealthiest men. Daniel may be rich in resources, but he is definitely poor in emotional ties with people and practically bankrupt in social skills. Ignored by his parents and mistreated by those employed to take care of him, Daniel has become manipulative and skilled in verbal self-defense. Never allowed to associate with people his own age, and never allowed to attend school, he found his friends within the books and fine art of the three-story library tower located on his family’s estate. There he became entirely self-educated, and there he developed his passion for learning. When he is sent off to Cornwall Academy, a boarding school, he is so inept with people that he immediately becomes the outcast with everyone except his roommate. Small in body, great in knowledge and intellect, Daniel begins to learn quickly, and to adapt. His school community helps him to grow, but Daniel has lessons for both his fellow students and teachers. It is an important day in the life of a school when any new student enters that school. That student has the opportunity to be an influence for good or an influence for evil. Daniel has made his choices. Certainly, his four months spent at Cornwall Academy, are for Daniel The Age of Discovery.

Download or read book Butterfly Tears and Dandelions written by Colleen Fountain Skinner and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-05-14 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I lost my four-year-old granddaughter due to a car accident, my world came to a complete stop. My friends gave me books on grief, but nothing I read helped me, so I decided to write this book. It is raw and tells everything I went through, with no filter. I wanted to bring the process of grieving out into the open and not dance around topics that others don’t want to discuss, such as anger, severe depression, and thoughts of suicide. Grieving is a series of missteps, misinterpretations, and good intentions gone awry. This book is about not only grieving but also healing, which is sometimes just as difficult. Letting go of guilt and other burdens we sometimes carry can be daunting, but if we try really hard, we can find our way through to the light at the end of the tunnel.

Download or read book Middle School Bites Out for Blood written by Steven Banks and published by Holiday House. This book was released on 2021-08-31 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tom the Vam-Wolf-Zom is back--and so is the werewolf that bit him--in this monstrously funny series about a boy who's dying to fit in. Eleven-year-old Tom was bit by a vampire, a werewolf, and a zombie right before the first day of middle school. It was a weird and crazy day. And he didn't even get excused from sixth grade! Now he's being hunted down by the werewolf that bit him. Should Tom join a wolf pack? On the one hand, he could give up school and homework forever. (He really doesn't want to do his history report.) On the other hand, he'd miss his band, his friends, and Annie, his maybe-possibly-someday girlfriend. He might even miss his big sister, Emma. Then the vampire that bit him returns with a warning: the werewolf is dangerous. Perhaps Tom should stick with sixth grade--even if it's mostly talent show disappointments, detention, and chicken-turkey-salami-roast beef sandwiches. Created by an Emmy-nominated writer for SpongeBob, The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, and CatDog, this hilarious series is illustrated with clever, cartoon-style art on every spread. Perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and The Last Kids on Earth.

Book excerpt: The camera caught me wriggling in Santa’s lap, and soon, I was pregnant with the jolly gentleman’s baby! Cleo: I agreed to help an old family friend. Brody’s a professional photographer who said his usual elf bailed at the last minute. So I offered to take her place, figuring it wouldn’t be a big deal to take pictures of kids at the mall. But never underestimate Santa because beneath that big red suit and white beard is a man with washboard abs, devilish blue eyes, and a smile that makes my thighs clench as my insides go hot. Even more, Brody’s got a HUGE surprise that hangs all the way down to his knee! It swings and dangles, with a Christmas ornament that lights up in its own way at the end. Soon, I was sitting in Santa’s lap, but we weren’t just smiling for the crowd. Instead, the camera caught us in some naughty poses that were NEVER supposed to be captured on film. The best part? That no one could tell while I squirmed and panted breathlessly with my skirt flipped up in back. (At least, I don’t think so!) But now, the jolly gentleman’s left me with a gift because after Christmas break ends, I learn that the stork’s coming … with a special surprise for Brody and me! This is a follow-up to Three Weeks of Hedonism where we meet the sassy girl who was bullied for *allegedly* letting Santa take her while she posed in his lap. Fair warning: never bring your kids to Christmas at the mall because if the elf’s wearing a short skirt while gasping with a frozen smile, then it could really be happening! As always, high heat, no cheating, and no cliffhangers for my readers. HEA guaranteed.

Suddenly forced to question everything she knows about herself and her family, Ridley wanders into dark territory she never knew existed, where everyone in her life seems like a stranger.

Download or read book Don t Call Me Brother written by Austin Miles and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2010-12-30 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Austin Miles has been a well-known circus ringmaster for most of his adult life. It was, he found, good preparation for his experiences with PTL and the Assemblies of God churches. Miles is the first ordained Assembly of God minister to leave the movement and write an in-depth book revealing the inner workings of this sect. This is not rumor, not innuendo. It is fact, seen first-hand, and fully described for the first time. Don''t Call Me Brother is not a book written by an outside observer - Austin Miles was an active participant in the evolution of the PTL Club. - Austin Miles was on intimate terms with the entire cast of PTL''s characters and the high-tech world of Christian movers and shakers: Jim Bakker, Tammy Faye Bakker, Pat Robertson, Charles and Frances Hunter, Richard Dortch, John Wesley Fletcher, Christian celebreties such as Pat Boone and Ephram Zimbalist, Jr., and many others. - Austin Miles opened the door on the steam room where Jim Bakker was cavorting - in the nude - with three other men. - Austin Miles was there when televangelism hatched its super-successful fund-raising schemes, and he participated in the staged "financial crisis" telethon, during which millions of dollars poured into the coffers of the PTL Club. - Austin Miles watched the development of Jim Bakker''s violent mood swings and saw the chilling possibility that Jim Bakker could have become another Jim Jones. - Austin Miles was there when Jim Bakker started a fist fight with his producer over the favors of the current Miss America. Austin Miles had fame, wealth, and a wonderful family. But by the time he finally broke free of the fanatic world of the religious right, he had lost everything. Don''t Call Me Brother is his story. A poignant, outrageous, sometimes hilarious drama peopled with colorful real-life characters. Building to a climax with a surprise double-twist ending, this story is tough but fair, a must-read for those who want to know what really happens in the world of America''s media-glitzed charismatic religions.
