Download or read book The Outer Lands written by Aliya Rahman and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A superb piece of storytelling. Rahman takes us deep into a future world bereft of light and hope. As her characters begin to awaken to the deadness around them, we also become awakened. Annie's struggle becomes our struggle. We too look for resolution and cling to the vision that somehow, someway, hope will prevail. This is a debut novel not to be missed!" --James Mathews, Author of Last Known Position A government lying to its people. What else is new? Well, in this dystopian world, the lies have reached a breaking point. That's because the government rulers of the new era, known simply as "The Leaders", have managed to convince all United States citizens that they are the only country in existence. The USA is perceived from within to be an island on a planet made up of almost complete ocean. The idea that other land masses on Earth exist has become simply a fable, a legend. A legend known as The Outer Lands. Of course, no one believes such a silly concept. Other countries? Ridiculous. That's definitely what Annie Bender thinks, a curious, but na�ve 17 year-old going through the motions of a corrupt school system. She doesn't have time to worry about children's stories and myths. She has a life to start living. A life of endless labor. Fun, right? That is, until she meets Colton Diaz. A mysterious, troublesome, and unbelievably irritating boy who insists on showing her his discovery; something he found hidden in an old, halfway underground library. With her interest successfully sparked, she joins forces with Colton and her strangely adventurous teacher to unravel the mystery of the Outer Lands. However, none of them know exactly how much trouble they're getting themselves into. Will they be able to handle the consequences that come with the secrets they attempt to unravel?
Download or read book Huge Cloudy written by Bill Carty and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. In his debut collection HUGE CLOUDY, Bill Carty attends to the world, bringing thought to vision with a cartographer's sense of scale, and a shipbuilder's attention to detail. Alternating stretches of lyric narrative with longer serial poems, HUGE CLOUDY proceeds by a Ship of Theseus poetics. Like a series of field notes, the poems document change as the contemporary landscape is revised by big and small forces--the bank vault that becomes an open mic, the pond that becomes condos, the puddle of vomit to walk around. These poems attend to the ugliness of a world, of a history, or poetic lineage, with a magic map. Drawing as much from the neighborhoods of Seattle as from coastal environs, this is a collection that folds the map--a kind of bounding sphere--in on itself.

In the aftermath of the Breaking, corporations rule and enforce that rule with their private security forces, the exclusive users of webarmor. People can work for the corporations by living in their Enclaves and by their rules - or fend for themselves in the Outerlands. Randal, inventor of webarmor, escaped the corporation's reach after the Breaking, but lives his life on the run. He is pursued by Hunters, elite assassins sponsored by the corporations to silence dissent and quash opposition. Driven together by chance and circumstance, Randal finds himself together with two Hunters as they try to survive as Prey in the Outerlands.

Book excerpt: Will Destroy the Galaxy for Cash is the follow up tale to Will Save the Galaxy for Food from the mind of writer Yahtzee Croshaw (Mogworld, Jam, Differently Morphous). With the age of heroic star pilots and galactic villains completely killed by quantum teleportation, the ex-star pilot currently named Dashford Pierce is struggling to find his identity in a changing universe. Then, a face from his past returns and makes him an offer he can't refuse: take part in just one small, slightly illegal, heist, and not only will he have the means to start the new life he craves, but also save his childhood hero from certain death. What could go wrong? If you need to ask--you don't know Dashford Pierce. Before long, Pierce is surrounded by peril, and forced to partner with the very same supervillains he'd spent his heroic career thwarting. But when he's confronted by the uncomfortable truth that star pilots might not have been the force for good, they had intended to be, he begins to wonder if the villains hadn't had the right idea all along...

Even Ozma herself couldnt undo her own magic. But something happened during this special meeting between the two friendsthe Princess fell into a deep sleep, and when she awoke, the Rain King had disappeared, and the life scrolls had turned to solid gold bricksclosed and locked---hinting that evil had been in the room. Yet, the bricks were sprinkled with the Rain Kings rainbow signature. How could this be? Ozma knew something terrible had happened to him, but what? She couldnt open the scrolls, and she feared the worst! Her only hope was to call in children---detectives from a place faraway called Texas. Nonbelievers the boys were until they reached the Land of Oz and met those who inhabited the Land.

The dangers are everywhere, not imagined; time is critical, not imagined; the characters are real, not imagined. WARNING: Imagination required, not imagined.

Download or read book Lands of Lost Borders written by Kate Harris and published by Knopf Canada. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE RBC TAYLOR PRIZE WINNER OF THE EDNA STAEBLER AWARD FOR CREATIVE NON-FICTION "Every day on a bike trip is like the one before--but it is also completely different, or perhaps you are different, woken up in new ways by the mile." As a teenager, Kate Harris realized that the career she most craved--that of a generalist explorer, equal parts swashbuckler and philosopher--had gone extinct. From her small-town home in Ontario, it seemed as if Marco Polo, Magellan and their like had long ago mapped the whole earth. So she vowed to become a scientist and go to Mars. To pass the time before she could launch into outer space, Kate set off by bicycle down a short section of the fabled Silk Road with her childhood friend Mel Yule, then settled down to study at Oxford and MIT. Eventually the truth dawned on her: an explorer, in any day and age, is by definition the kind of person who refuses to live between the lines. And Harris had soared most fully out of bounds right here on Earth, travelling a bygone trading route on her bicycle. So she quit the laboratory and hit the Silk Road again with Mel, this time determined to bike it from the beginning to end. Like Rebecca Solnit and Pico Iyer before her, Kate Harris offers a travel narrative at once exuberant and meditative, wry and rapturous. Weaving adventure and deep reflection with the history of science and exploration, Lands of Lost Borders explores the nature of limits and the wildness of a world that, like the self and like the stars, can never be fully mapped.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Georgia Peach Award Nominee • Florida Teens Read Award Nominee • ABC Best Books for Young Readers • Bank Street College Best Children’s Books of the Year • A Junior Library Guild Selection • Hugo & Locus award finalist In Other Lands is an exhilarating novel from bestselling author Sarah Rees Brennan about surviving four years in the most unusual of schools - friendship, falling in love, diplomacy, and finding your own place in the world — even if it means giving up your phone. Excerpt: The Borderlands aren’t like anywhere else. Don’t try to smuggle a phone or any other piece of technology over the wall that marks the Border — unless you enjoy a fireworks display in your backpack. (Ballpoint pens are okay.) There are elves, harpies, and — best of all as far as Elliot is concerned — mermaids. "What’s your name?" "Serene." "Serena?" Elliot asked. "Serene," said Serene. "My full name is Serene-Heart-in-the-Chaos-of-Battle." Elliot’s mouth fell open. "That is badass." Elliot? Who’s Elliot? Elliot is thirteen years old. He’s smart and just a tiny bit obnoxious. Sometimes more than a tiny bit. When his class goes on a field trip and he can see a wall that no one else can see, he is given the chance to go to school in the Borderlands. It turns out that on the other side of the wall, classes involve a lot more weaponry and fitness training and fewer mermaids than he expected. On the other hand, there’s Serene-Heart-in-the-Chaos-of-Battle, an elven warrior who is more beautiful than anyone Elliot has ever seen, and then there’s her human friend Luke: sunny, blond, and annoyingly likeable. There are lots of interesting books. There’s even the chance Elliot might be able to change the world. Chapter illustrations by Casey Nowak.
