Download or read book Tales from an Endless Summer written by Bruce Novotny and published by Down the Shore Publishing. This book was released on 1996 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This slice-of-Shore-life novel combines the soul-searching of early adulthood, the ecstasy of surfing, and the barefoot quality of a summer by the sea. Set at a quintessential Jersey Shore beach in the 1980s, surfers, would-be artists, poets, and musicians revolve around each other in a world of waves and extraordinary sunsets, parties, strange dreams, love and longing, and the eternal quest for the meaning of life after Labor Day. As one reviewer wrote: ''Novotny has captured the essence of the summer shore and everything which makes it so wondrous, especially the mystical effect the place can have on people if they allow it.... Tales is far above a mere mindless screed to the joys of waveriding. It's an analog of the transience of youth, the realization of which, when it inevitably comes, is so wrenching.'' (Central Record, Medford, NJ) And the Quality Paperback Book Club noted: ''East coast surfing gets its due.''

Book excerpt: Winner of the 2022 Mildred L. Batchelder Award A July/August 2021 Kids' Indie Next Pick A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection From renowned Japanese children's author Sachiko Kashiwaba, Temple Alley Summer is a fantastical and mysterious adventure featuring the living dead, a magical pearl, and a suspiciously nosy black cat named Kiriko. Kazu knows something odd is going on when he sees a girl in a white kimono sneak out of his house in the middle of the night--was he dreaming? Did he see a ghost? Things get even stranger when he shows up to school the next day to see the very same figure sitting in his classroom. No one else thinks it's weird, and, even though Kazu doesn't remember ever seeing her before, they all seem convinced that the ghost-girl Akari has been their friend for years! When Kazu's summer project to learn about Kimyo Temple draws the meddling attention of his mysterious neighbor Ms. Minakami and his secretive new classmate Akari, Kazu soon learns that not everything is as it seems in his hometown. Kazu discovers that Kimyo Temple is linked to a long forgotten legend about bringing the dead to life, which could explain Akari's sudden appearance--is she a zombie or a ghost? Kazu and Akari join forces to find and protect the source of the temple's power. An unfinished story in a magazine from Akari's youth might just hold the key to keeping Akari in the world of the living, and it's up to them to find the story's ending and solve the mystery as the adults around them conspire to stop them from finding the truth.
