Download or read book The Kid that Needed a Pet written by Kip N. Willis and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2016-12-19 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life, for Ronnie Sinclair, is not as idyllic as it might be in the quirkily wonderful Oklahoma setting that serves as his home. Sure, he’s got a fantastic family, which marvelously expands thanks to his evolving relationships with a bunch of fascinating people. He lives in a sprawling ranch house nestled inside fifteen acres of natural wonder, with adventures awaiting at every turn. And the Arbuckle Wilderness Preserve is in his backyard, which is amazing because it positively explodes with opportunities for communion with the animal pals he so adores. But there is trouble in Ronnie’s life, too, and it’s starting to feel like more than just the garden-variety kind of trouble a twelve-year-old boy might expect to run up against. Ronnie is a subject of intense interest for a few neighborhood bullies whose plans for him grow increasingly nefarious as time goes on. In short order, he finds himself the central figure in a national terror plot that threatens not only him and his family, but the country at large. At last, Ronnie draws strength for facing his ordeals from his faith, from his family, and from an enormously affectionate pet skunk who recognized his special qualities from the start. In the end, the lot of them learn a universal lesson about the meaning of love—particularly when it’s applied to folks you were convinced were your enemies all along.

Meanwhile a corrupt South African government turns a blind eye to the international trade in rhino horn. This is the background to Peter Hain's brilliantly pacey and timely thriller. Battling to defend the dwindling rhino population, a veteran freedom fighter is forced to break his lifetime loyalty to the ANC as he confronts corruption at the very highest level.

Has Mandela's 'rainbow nation' been irretrievably betrayed by political corruption and cronyism?
Download or read book King Lonely Lion Looks at Letters written by Aileen M. Gidney and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: King Lonely Lion Looks at Letters, with its African-based theme, has not been written just to bring enjoyment to children and parents as a bedtime story and to assist educators and "home schooling mums" in the learning process. It has also been written to be a way to encourage children to increase their vocabulary by searching the pictures in the story for other animals, reptiles, and insects that begin with the same letter of each story page. It is extremely important to understand that King Lonely Lion Looks at Letters has a dual purpose. It has not been written in the traditional alphabetical format of "a, b, c," but in a wonderful and adventure-filled way that also allows a child to learn and practice the strokes required in writing the letters of the alphabet when this book is combined with the Phonics for Africa activity book. As the author of this book, I would encourage all parents, educators, and home-schooling mums to remember that the teaching and learning process of our little ones should always be fun, packed with enjoyment, and carried out with a loving heart. I can only hope that you and your children get as much excitement and enjoyment out of King Lonely Lion Looks at Letters as I did in writing it. Aileen M. Gidney

Download or read book Sweet Demotion written by Lonn Friend and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-04-26 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his first book, Life on Planet Rock, author Lonn Friend shared his ringside view of rocks decade of decadence. Now, in Sweet Demotion, the veteran rock scribe takes off the gloves and battles himself. Lonn was enjoying a six-figure multi-media career in 1998 when, at the end of a four-year run as a record company VP, he was bitch slapped by the Universe; his professional ride came to a crashing pause. But instead of hiring headhunters or putting a resume together to find another gig, Lonn hit the rock-and-roll road less traveled. The result is a brutally transparent, shamelessly self-deprecating mid-life memoir of a writer who stopped making money and started seeking truth. Sweet Demotion chronicles a thirteen-year period of personal deconstruction, spiritual madness, and bizarre anecdotal wordplay where faith was lost in everything but the moment and the music. Lonns intimate adventure invites the reader to a porn burial in the desert, a Janis Joplin ghost sighting, a Dallas meditation on the anniversary of JFKs assassination following the interview of a heavy metal legend, and the sharing of sacred space on a northeast lake with the lead singer of Aerosmith. Sweet Demotion is a sojourn to near-enlightenment that no one but Lonn Friend could have possibly experienced.

But But what should have been a relaxing cruise turns into a voyage of intrigue and mayhem on the high seas, when our intrepid explorers find themselves entangled in yet another mystery involving a strange relic, a dangerous foe, and a rather bawdy crew of pirates with interesting beards. A Witch in Time: Despite it being slightly more fun than a visit to a 12th century dentist, Stitches doesn't want to go Mrs. Ladle's game night. Tonight, she has promised them something special: a game that hasn't been played for a very long time. One that's bound to make the evening fly by and take them to an adventure packed full of derring-do and never-before chronicled acts of heroism and bravery. Intensive Scare: A psychic message, a portly medium, missing residents and a strange glow can only mean one thing: something is happening in Skullenia, and it's down to Ollie and the gang to sort it out. With the help of Deirdre Clownpuncher, the boys try to find out where everyone's gone before they disappear forever. Our heroes must employ all of their guts and guile to follow the clues which, seeing as they don't actually have any guts and guile, means they'll be relying on other people as usual.

Download or read book Be My Baby written by Ronnie Spector and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2022-05-03 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Do I have to tell you that Ronnie’s got one of the greatest female rock-and-roll voices of all time? She stands alone.” —Keith Richards Be My Baby is the behind-the-scenes story—newly updated, and with an especially timely message—of how the original bad girl of rock and roll, Ronnie Spector, survived marriage to a monster and carved out a space for herself amid the chaos of the 1960s music scene and beyond. Ronnie’s first collaboration with producer Phil Spector, “Be My Baby,” shot Ronnie and the Ronettes to stardom. No one sounded like Ronnie, with her alluring blend of innocence and knowing, but her voice would soon be silenced as Spector sequestered her behind electric gates, guard dogs, and barbed wire. It took everything Ronnie had to escape her prisonlike marriage and wrest back control of her life, her music, and her legacy. And as shown in this edition, which includes a 2021 postscript from Ronnie, her life became proof that our challenges do not define us and there is always the potential to forge a fuller life. In Be My Baby, the incomparable Ronnie Spector offered a whirlwind account of the ever-shifting path of an iconic artist. And, more than anything else, she gave us an inspiring tale of triumph.
