Download or read book Stink written by Megan McDonald and published by Candlewick Press. This book was released on 2010-06-14 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In honor of Judy Moody's younger "bother," the creators of the award-winning series have put themselves in a very Stink-y mood. Shrink, shrank, shrunk! Every morning, Judy Moody measures Stink and it's always the same: three feet, eight inches tall. Stink feels like even the class newt is growing faster than he is. Then, one day, the ruler reads -- can it be? -- three feet, seven and three quarters inches! Is Stink shrinking? He tries everything to look like he’s growing, but wearing up-and-down stripes and spiking his hair aren't fooling anyone into thinking he's taller. If only he could ask James Madison -- Stink's hero, and the shortest person ever to serve as President of the United States. In Stink's first solo adventure, his special style comes through loud and strong -- enhanced by a series of comic strips, drawn by Stink himself, which are sprinkled throughout the book. From "The Adventures of Stink in SHRINK MONSTER" to "The Adventures of Stink in NEWT IN SHINING ARMOR," these very funny, homespun sagas reflect the familiar voice of a kid who pictures himself with super powers to deal with the travails of everyday life -- including the occasional teasing of a bossy big sister!
Download or read book Tamarack River Ghost written by Jerold W. Apps and published by University of Wisconsin Pres. This book was released on 2012-11-02 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When journalist Josh Wittmore moves from the Illinois bureau of Farm Country News to the newspaper’s national office in Wisconsin, he encounters the biggest story of his young career—just as the paper’s finances may lead to its closure. Josh’s big story is that a corporation that plans to establish an enormous hog farm has bought a lot of land along the Tamarack River in bucolic Ames County. Some of the local residents and officials are excited about the jobs and tax revenues that the big farm will bring, while others worry about truck traffic, porcine aromas, and manure runoff polluting the river. And how would the arrival of a large agribusiness affect life and traditions in this tightly knit rural community of family farmers? Josh strives to provide impartial agricultural reporting, even as his newspaper is replaced by a new Internet-only version owned by a former New York investment banker. And it seems that there may be another force in play: the vengeful ghost of a drowned logger who locals say haunts the valley of the Tamarack River.
Download or read book Deceit written by Jack J. Rossate and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2000-10-23 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DECEIT is a story about the Presidency of Bill Springer. DECEIT is the story about the President, Bill Springer. When you keep that in mind you will follow the frightening possibility for this fiction to become reality. The Presidency of the most powerful nation in the world is an tremendous responsibility. The Noble Experiment of the Founding Fathers has proven to be beyond the ability of rogues and charlatans to tarnish, try as they might. The American people have been able to survive and the country has grown stronger for it. The story begins with an innocuous piece of background, a small snapshot of the authors belief that nothing just happens. In DECEIT you can see how a First Family also includes its own extended family and how each members goals can be subverted. Power, it has been said, corrupts. This book should leave you with no doubt that it not only corrupts but that corruption can flow like flood waters if left unchecked. You will see people struggling to make a better life for themselves finding that they are caught up in something beyond their control. You will find good people who are just going along with the program because they dont want to make waves. These people suddenly find out that the program has taken them to a place they never wanted to go and now cannot get out of. But you will also see that some people have the courage or perseverance to either extricate themselves or combat the force that power exerts. There are good people out there and you will see them. The troubling characteristic that you will have to cope with is that there are also some bad people who do good things every once in a while. It will be left to you to make the moral judgments on them. The book is fast paced as it wings its way through but a few days in the life of the President and his family. The writing style keeps you moving so that you can see how seemingly unconnected events are truly connected, in some cases they are actually bound together. You will come away from the book with a new perspective on life and, perhaps, a new perspective on government. If nothing else, it should make you want to open your eyes and ears to learn everything you can about candidates for public office. It should have you make your right to vote into your responsibility to vote, and do it in an informed manner.

With school starting soon, it was a habit he knew he would have to break. One night, long after everyone else was in bed, Sass acts on a moment of bad judgement when he decides to chase a "cat" out of the garbage. That ends with very smelly consequences.Sass' traumatic experience leads him, along with his best friend Munchie, to adopt a family of orphaned skunk babies. But there's a problem. It's expensive to raise animals, with feeding and visits to the vet, and even more so with fully operational skunks. Sass and his dad have struck a deal. He has one week to come up with the money to take care of the skunks or give up his new pets. Together, Sass and Munchie hatch a scheme to get all the cash they need, and a little extra, in one night's work. That turns out to be a much more harrowing experience than anyone thought. In the end, who knew that having skunks for pets would prove to be a huge benefit? Follow along on this fast-paced, nose-wrenching adventure with Sass, Munchie, and their striped bundles of fun.
Download or read book From Burma with Love written by Stephen W. Reiss and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-11-14 with total page 667 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irv and Mary Reiss (aka Dad and Mom) wrote this book as two letters per day for fifteen months from late 1943 through March 1945. Friends and relatives added more letters to bring the total to nearly 1,000. Virtually all of their letters ended with "I love you very very much" and "I miss you very very much." It's easy to empathize with their frustrations and anxieties about being separated and worried, especially with the birth and nurturing of their first child Stephen (aka me) in June 1944. This book title of From Burma With Love is an understatement. Irv Reiss served in the US Army from June 27, 1941 until September 17, 1945 for a total of 4 years, 2 months, and 20 days. Foreign service in India and Burma (Myanmar) was 1 year, 1 month, and 23 days. The foreign service in Burma was very intense and is the heart of this book -- hence the name, From Burma With Love. Irv was a labor officer along the Ledo Road from August 28, 1944 until December 11, 1944. His job was to hire and feed and pay several thousand native laborers (and a few elephants) to help build that road from Ledo, India to Mongyu, Burma. Read his letter of October 7, 1944.

Download or read book The Hate Merchant written by Niven Busch and published by eNet Press. This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caspar Damion Splane, pitchman extraordinaire, had a voice so compelling that no one could pass within earshot without looking to see what kind of man was talking. He could sell anything. At a time when nylon stockings were impossible to find and very expensive, Caspar popped open his sample case, hawked silk rejects as the real McCoy, and sold them all in one afternoon. His power over people became an obsession, a tool for control and power, a compensation for years of loneliness and suffering. At the Kinderwall Sunshine Mission, revivalist Ma Kinderwall saves souls and feeds the poor from her soup kitchen. Followers flock to hear her. She has a gift, they say. During a down and out period of Caspar Splane's life, he and the Sunshine Mission collide, and in no time at all, he discovers a new audience for his madness. He adds "reverend" to his name and turns Ma's audience inside out. In the guise of selling peace, he grows rich on selling hate. Published in 1953, The Hate Merchant, is a timeless and unforgettable account of the power of manipulation and the tragedies that result when rhetoric, slanted facts, suggestions of secrecy, and imagined threats are unleashed into the world unchallenged and unchecked.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oh my! What is that smell? Why, it's The Stinky Kid! The Stinky Kid takes a humorous approach to talking about the always sensitive, uncomfortable, and embarrassing subject of personal hygiene with children. As children get older and start to approach that time in their lives when the hormones kick in and the odors become unbearable, hygiene is often not an easy subject to bring up. Drawing on his experiences as an elementary teacher, author Joe Garces wrote this non-confrontational and humorous story as a way to break-the-ice with his students when it came time to teach personal hygiene to his classes. About the Author After completing a series of adventure themed books based on his three sons and their individual interests, author Joe Garces is back with a new title, The Stinky Kid. Following Garrett the Firefighter, Tyler the Cowpoke, and Ryan the Pirate, in The Stinky Kid Joe takes a step away from basing the story on actual people and instead draws from his experience as a former elementary school teacher. A graduate of Southern Utah University with a degree in elementary education, Joe is a firefighter and arson investigator for the City of Oxnard in Southern California. Joe lives in the small town of Santa Paula, CA with his extraordinary wife Taira and their three decidedly non-stinky boys, Garrett, Tyler, and Ryan. About the Illustrator This is the first collaboration between author Joe Garces and illustrator, Irene Czusz. Irene is a professional graphic designer and children's book illustrator, who specializes in combining sketching, painting, and digital art. Being interested in art since she was a child, Irene's art draws from her childhood experiences and dreams.
