This book was released on 2017-02-14 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Secondary school can be quite a challenge, especially if you are a teacher and Arry Trumper is in your class... “If you have read my book about Arry Trumper and his multiple identities, you will remember that when we left him, round about the last page I think it was, he was on the verge of departing from Privy Street Primary School, much to the Head’s relief.” Now older and more dangerous, the boy Trumper, still preferring to be somebody else, runs amok at The Maxi Million Robespierre Academy in a series of comic antics, blags and ruses: even the most sophisticated workings of the CIA seem powerless to stop him. This account of Arry’s various clashes with authority also contains many excellent hints and sound advice, essential to all early teens, on the art of communicating with dead pets and how to bring much-needed Christmas cheer to penniless boys and girls. As a special bonus, Arry also provides a handy guide on how to become a celebrity Black Metal rock star, and demonstrates that the road to a successful career in the modern Church need not be a difficult one, as long as you have a decent action plan under your cassock... The Boy Who Still Preferred to be Somebody Else is an hilarious and engaging tale that will appeal to children aged 11+.

Book excerpt: This "intense reading experience"* is a Printz Honor Book. Shawn McDaniel's life is not what it may seem to anyone looking at him.

And as long as he is unable to communicate his true feelings to his father, Shawn's life is in danger. To the world, Shawn's senses seem dead. Within these pages, however, we meet a side of him that no one else has seen—a spirit that is rich beyond imagining, breathing life. *Booklist starred review

Download or read book Susan Sontag written by Jonathan Cott and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The candid and far-reaching interview with the public intellectual and author of Illness as Metaphor, conducted in 1978 Paris and New York. Over the summer and fall of 1978, Susan Sontag engaged in a series of deeply stimulating, provocative and intimate conversations with Jonathan Cott of Rolling Stone magazine. While the printed interview was extensive, it covered only a third of their twelve hours of discussion. Now, for the first time, the entire transcript of Sontag’s remarkable conversation is available in book form, accompanied by Cott’s preface and recollections. An acclaimed author of novels and essays, a renowned cultural critic and radical anti-war activist, Sontag was at the height of her powers in the late 1970s. Her musings and observations in this interview reveal the breadth and depth of her critical intelligence and curiosities at the time. These hours of conversation offer a revelatory and indispensable look at the self-described "besotted aesthete" and "obsessed moralist."

Book excerpt: Shelley MacDonald, the main character and narrator of And Yet, You Still Chose Me, opens up her life for you to view and experience in such a way that you will never forget her. From early childhood through adulthood you will see a life full of such extraordinary circumstances that it would seem inconceivable, if it were not for the fact that this novel is based on a true story. You will experience a roller coaster ride that runs the gamut of emotions from sorrow to joy, from tears to laughter, and from stunned silence to rousing ovations as Shelley draws you into the whole of her existence, mind, body and soul, resulting in your truly caring about her from the beginning to the end of this narrative. The depiction is so descriptive and transparent, and Shelley so compelling, that you will have a hard time putting the book down. "Kimberly Ray's life was marked with tragedy from the start, but it's her undying will to survive and tell the truth that makes this book a page turner. In this painfully gripping story about a little girl who's robbed of any kind of normal upbringing we learn from Kimberly that only through honesty and forgiveness can the human spirit truly thrive." Andrzej Bartkowiak - Renowned Film Director and Cinematographer "This book is a timely and piercingly relevant tour de force, one woman's journey to redemption and salvation after a childhood of sexual assault and abuse. A teachable moment for us all." Takashi Bufford - WEG Screenplay writer "Heart-Pounding, Nail Biting, Hopeful, Brilliantly Written." Michelle Wilson - Senior Reporter/Producer - CBN, The 700 Club "Within these pages is a treasure of wisdom awaiting those who wish to gain a better understanding of how God can 'cause all things to work together for the good.'" Bishop Millicent Hunter - Author of Don't Die in the Winter Kimberly A. Ray is a sought-after keynote speaker throughout the U.S., using her life story to transform lives across the country. Her story is one of brokenness to bravery to breakthrough. Kimberly was born in St. Louis, Missouri. At the tender age of three, she began being sexually abused daily at the hands of her mother's live-in boyfriend, a well-known deacon in the church. After a powerful transformation in her life, she began the process of threading her life back together again piece by piece through intense therapy, coupled with her faith and revisiting all the places that brought her pain to bring about closure. Today, she is setting many captives free by breaking the silence of sexual abuse. As the author of her book And Yet, You Still Chose Me, Kimberly was able to capture every moment of the gut-wrenching experience of molestation she endured for many years, including the multiple rapes by various individuals in her past. She stands firm in walking in her truth and has the boldness to expose the "dirty secrets" of predators in any setting. Therefore, she is dedicated to telling her story across the globe, from interviews on CBN, to ministering in South Africa, the UK, and at Columbia University and other universities. She is a graduate of The Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary, with a degree in pastoral counseling. Kimberly also speaks to the heart of women in churches and conferences, including women who are incarcerated. She is the co-founder of Beauty For Ashes Counseling Center, established March 2019. She's co-executive producer of Tquita and Kimberly Podcast Show. As a businesswoman, Kimberly also is a Real Estate Investor and the Owner of BrownRay Property Investments, LLC.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was clear from a very early age that Arry Trumper was not happy being Arry Trumper: he preferred to be somebody else, anybody else, other than Arry Trumper. Compelled to participate in a world of unpleasant parents, lunatic teachers and brutal Ofsted inspections, he judges the lot to be inadequate and in need of improvement. Improvement for Arry means the reinvention of the world in his own image: a world in which nothing is regular; a world in which inanity, cruelty and pretentiousness find the oblivion which has for far too long eluded it. The Boy Who Preferred to be Somebody Else is a book to amuse all wannabe subversives aged 13-16, as Arry becomes who he wants to become in his surreal fight against the authority of those who wish he had never existed... Southport has never looked so strange! What the characters said about the book: “That boy is poison!” – Arry’s mother “The child is clearly in urgent need of psychiatric help.” – Arry’s Headmaster “I quite like him.” – Jeffrey “My blue trousers have never looked smarter.” – Biffa the Bear “Mine too.” – Ofsted Inspector

Download or read book We Trade Our Night for Someone Else s Day written by Ivana Bodrozic and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thriller of the ex-Yugoslavia Wars. "Bodrozic, mediated by Ellen Elias-Bursac’s assured translation, chronicles what a country chooses to remember, and what it consciously forgets, with confidence and grace." —Sarah Weinman, New York Times Book Review The city of Vukovar, situated on Croatia's easternmost periphery, across the Danube River from Serbia, was the site of some of the worst violence in the wars that rocked ex-Yugoslavia in the early '90s. It is referred to only as "the city" throughout this taut political thriller from one of Europe's most celebrated young writers. In this city without a name, fences in schoolyards separate the children of Serbs from those of Croats, and city leaders still fight to free themselves from violent crimes they committed--or permitted--during the war a generation ago. Now, it is left to a new generation--the children, now grown up, to extricate themselves from this tragic place, innocents who are nonetheless connected in different ways to the crimes of the past. Nora is a journalist assigned to do a puff piece on the perpetrator of a crime of passion--a Croatian high school teacher who fell in love with one of her students, a Serb, and is now in prison for having murdered her husband. But Nora herself is the daughter of a man who was murdered years earlier under mysterious circumstances. And she wants, if not to avenge her father, at least to bring to justice whoever committed the crime. There's a hothouse intensity to this extraordinary noir page-turner because of how closely the author sets the novel within the historical record. This city is unnamed, the story is fictional, so it can show us what actually happened there.

His Culture books combine breathtaking imagination with exceptional storytelling, and have secured his reputation as one of the most extraordinary and influential writers in the genre. 'Banks is a phenomenon' William Gibson Two and a half millennia ago in a remote corner of space, beside a trillion-year-old dying sun from a different universe, the artifact appeared. It was a perfect black-body sphere, and it did nothing. Then it disappeared. Now it is back. Diplomat Genar-Hofoen of Special Circumstances is sent to investigate but, sidetracked by an old flame and the spoiled-brat operative Ulver Seich, and faced with the systematic depravities of a race who call themselves the Affront, it's anyone's guess whether he'll succeed . . . Praise for the Culture series: 'Epic in scope, ambitious in its ideas and absorbing in its execution' Independent on Sunday 'Banks has created one of the most enduring and endearing visions of the future' Guardian 'Jam-packed with extraordinary invention' Scotsman 'Compulsive reading' Sunday Telegraph The Culture series: Consider Phlebas The Player of Games Use of Weapons Excession Inversions Look to Windward Matter Surface Detail The Hydrogen Sonata The State of the Art Other books by Iain M. Banks: Against a Dark Background Feersum Endjinn The Algebraist Also now available: The Culture: The Drawings - an extraordinary collection of original illustrations faithfully reproduced from sketchbooks Banks kept in the 1970s and 80s, depicting the ships, habitats, geography, weapons and language of Banks' Culture series of novels in incredible detail.
