This race could give her a Level promotion and all the advantages associated with it. In this world, the race is her only means to a better life. Then, on the eve of her lifelong desire to run The Race, Lily discovers her beloved younger brother has inherited a genetic heart defect that could end his life prematurely. They are only a Level 3 family with no access to the healthcare her brother desperately needs. The Race is not only about her anymore but now the only means of securing help and hope for her brother's life. As the race progresses, she realizes her lifelong training did not prepare her for the beauty, wonder, excitement and danger she encounters along the way. She must push herself to not only try to win the race but also fight for her life by dealing with her own strengths, her own weaknesses, the new found longings of her heart as she more deeply comes to know her very complex, god-like "specialist" partner and the murderous challenges of the high-level competition.

Ransome's classic series is sure to captivate and inspire the imagination of anyone who embarks on this literary journey.

Download or read book The Wood for the Trees written by Richard Fortey and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2016-12-06 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of Earth: An Intimate History, an exuberant "biography" of four acres of woodland, evoking a cosmos of living and inanimate things and imagining its millennia of existence A few years ago, award-winning scientist Richard Fortey purchased four acres of woodland in the Chiltern Hills of Oxfordshire, England. The Wood for the Trees is the joyful, lyrical portrait of what he found there. With one chapter for each month, we move through the seasons: tree felling in January, moth hunting in June, finding golden mushrooms in September. Fortey, along with the occasional expert friend, investigates the forest top to bottom, discovering a new species and explaining the myriad connections that tie us to nature and nature to itself. His textured, evocative prose and gentle humor illuminate the epic story of a small forest. But he doesn't stop at mere observation. The Wood for the Trees uses the forest as a springboard back through time, full of rich and unexpected tales of the people, plants, and animals that once called the land home. With Fortey's help, we come to see a universe in miniature.
