Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the cute town of Greenwood, Pixie and Pippin start their once-in-a-lifetime adventure by finding a hidden chest under an old oak tree. Inside the chest, they find a strange map that leads them to the mysterious Crystal of Light, which is the only thing that can keep their town from going dark. They decide to follow the map because they are brave and want to try new things. What they find is a world full of surprises and problems they could never have imagined. To solve the Riddle of the Trees, they learn how important it is to work together and listen as they go through the Whispering Woods. The magic of the River of Dreams is broken, but their faith in each other helps them get across. In The Meadow of Mists, they meet Misty the fox. She becomes a good friend and teacher for them, showing them how to trust others and depend on their skills. The Mountain That Moans shows kids how laughter can help them feel better. They learn a lot about themselves and what it means to be truly brave by meeting challenges like the Garden of Time, the Valley of Shadows, and the Bridge of Questions. These places test their honesty, bravery, and mental toughness. When they see themselves in the City of Mirrors, they learn how important it is to know and like who they are. The Forest of Giants shows kids how to get along with creatures much bigger than them, and the Cave of Echoes stresses how important it is to be able to communicate clearly. In the end, their trip brings them to the Crystal of Light, which is watched over by a dragon whose worth is based on the good things they did along the way. When they get back to Greenwood after getting the Crystal, everyone is happy for them. The Crystal of Light, which is on top of the tallest building, gives off light, which drives away darkness and protects the town for a long time. The journey of Pixie and Pippin is a touching tale of bravery, friendship, and the desire to learn. They not only save their town, but they also grow as people and learn important lessons about being brave, working together, and having faith in yourself. Their story backs up the idea that real adventures bring out the best in us and teach us lessons that shape who we are and help others. Chapter 1: What They Found A curious and lively friend pair named Pixie and Pippin lived in Greenwood, a cute little town surrounded by big green trees. Pippin was a little quieter than Pixie, but she was just as curious. Pixie had beautiful eyes that were always shining with wonder and fun. They liked looking for things in the woods and making up stories while the leaves and bark rustled. Pixie and Pippin were playing hide-and-seek near an old oak tree on a sunny morning. The sunbeams danced through the leaves, making beautiful shadows on the ground. There was no other tree in town like this one. Its huge branches seemed to reach for the sky. The person was the oldest and smartest in the town. Pippin closed his eyes and counted while Pixie looked for the best place to hide. That's when she saw something strange in the ground around the tree's roots. It looked a little different, like the ground had been shaken up. Pixie was so interested that she didn't play the game and instead called Pippin. They dug together to carefully get rid of the leaves and dirt. They quickly touched something tough. They got more excited with each scoop of dirt, so they dug faster and soon found a box. The sun, moon, and stars were carved into the chest in a very detailed way. The iron clasp was rusty. Pixie and Pippin both looked worried and happy as they opened the chest together. The most beautiful map they had ever seen was on a silk cloth inside. They had never seen a chart like this one before. It shone with its own light, and the way it pointed to was gentle and friendly. The path went around and around, going through an area that no one knew until it reached a fork in the road that was marked by a sparkling gem. Their hearts skipped a beat. They were about to have a real experience that was unlike anything they had ever thought of. The thrill of finding something new and the promise of what's to come filled their eyes as they looked at each other. This map was their ticket to a trip they could never have imagined. It took them through beautiful places that were far from Greenwood's well-known roads. Pixie and Pippin knew big things were going to happen in their lives when they held the map. They were about to enter a magical and mysterious world where anything was possible. Chapter 2: Making a Choice. It was a nice night, and Pixie and Pippin slept well in their beds while the moon shone over Greenwood. They were so excited about what they had found that they couldn't sleep. The charming map stuck in their thoughts. Its worn corners and well-drawn lines showed them a road they had never seen before. It wasn't just a map; it held the promise of an exciting journey and problems to be solved. They had so many questions in their minds. What amazing things might they see? What kind of people might they meet along the way? They got chills down their spines just thinking about it. Though there was some joy, there was also some fear. They knew that having experiences meant more than just knowing about the world's wonders. Having adventures meant taking chances, getting past problems, and visiting places that had not been seen before. And this wasn't just any adventure—they were looking for the legendary Crystal of Light, a diamond that would keep their town safe from the dark. As they lay there in the dark and talked about what might happen, they realized this was more than just a chance to go on a journey. It was a chance to make a change and become the leads in their own story. They gave careful thought to their family, friends, and everyone else in Greenwood. What would happen if the Crystal of Light was found? Think about how happy and relieved everyone would be. During the night, people mumbled their plans and shared their dreams. As soon as the sun came up and lit up their windows, Pixie and Pippin knew what they were going to do. It really would be dangerous. Their path would be hard, and they might even be in danger. On the other hand, the thought of taking care of their town and discovering the magic of the enchanted worlds made them very determined. They were excited and nervous at the same time when they chose to leave at first light. Even though they knew the trip wouldn't be easy, they couldn't say no to the thrill of the adventure and the chance to be heroes. With the magical map to help them find the Crystal of Light, Pixie and Pippin were about to go on an adventure into the unknown. They were eager to follow the path because they knew this was the moment that would make their lives different every day.

Download or read book Black Swan Green written by David Mitchell and published by Random House. This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the New York Times bestselling author of The Bone Clocks and Cloud Atlas | Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize Selected by Time as One of the Ten Best Books of the Year | A New York Times Notable Book | Named One of the Best Books of the Year by The Washington Post Book World, The Christian Science Monitor, Rocky Mountain News, and Kirkus Reviews | A Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist | Winner of the ALA Alex Award | Finalist for the Costa Novel Award From award-winning writer David Mitchell comes a sinewy, meditative novel of boyhood on the cusp of adulthood and the old on the cusp of the new. Black Swan Green tracks a single year in what is, for thirteen-year-old Jason Taylor, the sleepiest village in muddiest Worcestershire in a dying Cold War England, 1982. But the thirteen chapters, each a short story in its own right, create an exquisitely observed world that is anything but sleepy. A world of Kissingeresque realpolitik enacted in boys’ games on a frozen lake; of “nightcreeping” through the summer backyards of strangers; of the tabloid-fueled thrills of the Falklands War and its human toll; of the cruel, luscious Dawn Madden and her power-hungry boyfriend, Ross Wilcox; of a certain Madame Eva van Outryve de Crommelynck, an elderly bohemian emigré who is both more and less than she appears; of Jason’s search to replace his dead grandfather’s irreplaceable smashed watch before the crime is discovered; of first cigarettes, first kisses, first Duran Duran LPs, and first deaths; of Margaret Thatcher’s recession; of Gypsies camping in the woods and the hysteria they inspire; and, even closer to home, of a slow-motion divorce in four seasons. Pointed, funny, profound, left-field, elegiac, and painted with the stuff of life, Black Swan Green is David Mitchell’s subtlest and most effective achievement to date. Praise for Black Swan Green “[David Mitchell has created] one of the most endearing, smart, and funny young narrators ever to rise up from the pages of a novel. . . . The always fresh and brilliant writing will carry readers back to their own childhoods. . . . This enchanting novel makes us remember exactly what it was like.”—The Boston Globe “[David Mitchell is a] prodigiously daring and imaginative young writer. . . . As in the works of Thomas Pynchon and Herman Melville, one feels the roof of the narrative lifted off and oneself in thrall.”—Time

Book excerpt: A stirring memoir of a young, single woman's laborious struggle to save her family's New England apple farm from going under during the Great Depression. The Orchard is an exquisitely beautiful and poignant memoir of a young woman's single-handed struggle to save her New England farm in the depths of the Great Depression. Discovered by the author's daughter after the author's death, it tells the story of Adele "Kitty" Robertson, young and energetic, but unprepared by her Radcliffe education for the rigors of apple farming in those bitter years of the early 1930s. Alone at the end of a country road, with only a Great Dane for company, plagued by debts, broken machinery, and killing frosts, Kitty revives the old orchard after years of neglect. Every day is a struggle, but every day she is also rewarded by the beauty of the world and the unexpected kindness of neighbors and hired workers. Animated by quiet courage and simple goodness, The Orchard is a deeply moving celebration of decency and beauty in the midst of grim prospects and crushing poverty. In addition to a foreword and epilogue by Betsy Robertson Cramer, the author's daughter, this Nonpareil edition includes a new afterword by award-winning author Jane Brox.

There are places to go, books to read, and movies to watch. So it's a little unfair when he gets himself killed crossing the street. Bob wakes up a century later to find that corpsicles have been declared to be without rights, and he is now the property of the state. He has been uploaded into computer hardware and is slated to be the controlling AI in an interstellar probe looking for habitable planets. The stakes are high: no less than the first claim to entire worlds. If he declines the honor, he'll be switched off, and they'll try again with someone else. If he accepts, he becomes a prime target. There are at least three other countries trying to get their own probes launched first, and they play dirty. The safest place for Bob is in space, heading away from Earth at top speed. Or so he thinks. Because the universe is full of nasties, and trespassers make them mad - very mad.

Book excerpt: Civil war looms in the Bobiverse in this brand-new, epic-length adventure by best seller Dennis E. Taylor. More than a hundred years ago, Bender set out for the stars and was never heard from again. There has been no trace of him despite numerous searches by his clone-mates. Now Bob is determined to organize an expedition to learn Bender's fate-whatever the cost. But nothing is ever simple in the Bobiverse. Bob's descendants are out to the 24th generation now, and replicative drift has produced individuals who can barely be considered Bobs anymore. Some of them oppose Bob's plan; others have plans of their own. The out-of-control moots are the least of the Bobiverse's problems. Undaunted, Bob and his allies follow Bender's trail. But what they discover out in deep space is so unexpected and so complex that it could either save the universe-or pose an existential threat the likes of which the Bobiverse has never faced.

Look for The Bobiverse [Signed Limited Edition] on Amazon Being a sentient spaceship really should be more fun. But after spreading out through space for almost a century, Bob and his clones just can't stay out of trouble. They've created enough colonies so humanity shouldn't go extinct. But political squabbles have a bad habit of dying hard, and the Brazilian probes are still trying to take out the competition. And the Bobs have picked a fight with an older, more powerful species with a large appetite and a short temper. Still stinging from getting their collective butts kicked in their first encounter with the Others, the Bobs now face the prospect of a decisive final battle to defend Earth and its colonies. But the Bobs are less disciplined than a herd of cats, and some of the younger copies are more concerned with their own local problems than defeating the Others. Yet salvation may come from an unlikely source. A couple of eighth-generation Bobs have found something out in deep space. All it will take to save the Earth and perhaps all of humanity is for them to get it to Sol - unless the Others arrive first.
