Book excerpt: When ten-year-old June learns she and her mother will be helping her elderly neighbor clean her attic, she thinks it will be a lot of hard work. Soon after she arrives at Mrs. Nichols’ house, June happily discovers there is much more than just “junk” within the walls of the neighbor’s musty attic. Together with her mother, Janine, who is a local seamstress, June excitedly immerses herself in each memory that Mrs. Nichols unearths from her old dusty attic. As Mrs. Nichols sorts through the boxes filled with old books and clothing, June uncovers a beautiful antique trunk squirreled away in the far corner of the attic and asks Mrs. Nichols about it. In reply, she tells her that her and Mr. Nichols took it with them when they travelled the world. Mrs. Nichols invites June to take it home to explore the many wonderful travel souvenirs that they had collected, now neatly tucked away inside the trunk. It is not long before June, with help from the talking Trunk and souvenirs, embarks on an exciting journey where she learns fun facts about Europe’s various countries, customs, and cultures.

Book excerpt: "The author improves with each novel she writes." - Holly, eBook Discovery reviewer A chance encounter...a whispered confession overheard... A time traveler shares the startling words spoken by an old man murmuring broken memories from a bygone era. Could the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 have been the result of a deliberate act of sabotage rather than a chance collision with an iceberg in the middle of the cold Atlantic Ocean? Peter and Elani, novice travelers, are eager to take on the assignment to discover the truth behind the legendary ship’s demise. Petra and Kipp, their mentors, must accompany the two youngsters and assure they conduct their investigations per the symbiont code of behavior with no disruption to the timeline of history. In their guise of human siblings accompanied by their loyal canine companions, the four symbionts must travel back in time incognito and become passengers –as well as investigators – on the doomed ship. They face a race against time and history in order to discover the truth before the Titanic completes her fateful voyage to the ocean’s floor.

Download or read book The Race to the Future 8 000 Miles to Paris The Adventure That Accelerated the Twentieth Century written by Kassia St. Clair and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise of the automobile as told through its Rubicon moment—a sensational, high-risk race across two continents on the verge of revolution. The racers—an Italian prince and his chauffeur, a French racing driver, a con man, and several rival journalists—battle over steep inclines, through narrow mountain passages, and across the arid Gobi Desert. Competitors endure torrential rain and choking dust. There are barely any roads, and petrol is almost impossible to find. A global audience of millions follows each twist and turn, devouring reports telegraphed from the course. More than its many adventures, the Peking-to-Paris Motor Challenge took place on the precipice of a new world. As the twentieth century dawned, imperial regimes in China and Russia were crumbling, paving the way for the rise of communist ones. The electric telegraph was rapidly transforming modern communication, and with it, the news media, commerce, and politics. Suspended between the old and the new, the Peking-to-Paris, as best-selling historian Kassia St. Clair writes, became a critical tipping point. A gripping, immersive narrative of the race, The Race to the Future sets the drivers’ derring-do (and occasional cheating) against the backdrop of a larger geopolitical and technological race to the future. Interweaving events from the fall of the Qing dynasty to the departure of the horse economy and the rise of gendered marketing, St. Clair shows how the Peking-to-Paris provided an impetus for profound social, cultural, and industrial change, while masterfully capturing the mounting tensions between nations and empires—all building up to the cataclysmic event that changed everything: the First World War. “Consistently mind-boggling, often funny, and occasionally hair-raising” (Philip Ball), The Race to the Future is the incredible true story of the quest against the odds that propelled us along the road to modernity.

First, these adventures were taken and the stories were written by ten-year-old Tracy Jeanette. You may know her from other adventures. She tours back in time with her gang of animal friends, chaperoned of course by the Old Man. Who in turn is sometimes accompanied by Sklo. If you are not familiar with the Old Man or the gang, it's like this: Somehow, due to a glitchy quirk in space-time, the Old Man returned to our world. I'm guessing because of something he knew how to do when he was still alive. The first time. I'm not a physicist, or much of anything, so I don't know how it works exactly
