Book excerpt: Rane Powers is not your ordinary young man. He'd been born in a tragic scenario. His parents rushed to the hospital when Rane's mother was in labour. The night in Titan City was terrible, a thunderstorm roared through the sky and the rain poured down harder than cats and dogs. Rane's mother went in labour, his father couldn't see... the rain made it too difficult to see... CRASH!!! The car crashed into a telephone pole. Rane's father hadn't been wearing his seat belt and was thrown through the window... he did not survive. His mother had her seat belt on but with the circumstance of labour, things didn't look good. She lied on the ground; the rain flooded the streets, her baby boy was born... the telephone pole rolled off the car and hit the ground... electricity flowed through the rain water, hitting the new-born baby boy. Thanks to a Good Samaritan the boy was found and rushed to the hospital... he would survive. The problem was the young boy had a boatload of problems, from not being able to walk, to the fact his eyes were entirely blue (yes meaning his sclera was blue). The boy struggled to walk when growing up but he found it easy to swim in a pool. Water had always been a favourite of Rane while growing up. From loving to swim to when an infant he would not drink milk from his bottle, just water. As Rane grew older, he overcame his problems. His muscles got strong, almost overnight, he could walk and without a limp too. By age 12 Rane was as normal as any other 12-year-old boy... well except that his eyes remained all blue. Rane became such a normal boy that the hospital sent him off into foster care. He lived with a few families before getting adopted by the Hill Family. Now the Hill family comprised of Jackie Hill and Brian Hill. To be perfectly frank, the idea to adopt had been solely Jackie's as Brian hated kids and wanted nothing to do with one... including Rane. Young Rane had a tough time at home with Brian and at school with a trio of bullies. They all put him down and even physically harmed him. But through this punishment Rane found his body turning into water... protecting himself from the hits. Eventually his entire body turned into water, and in this form Rane was untouchable. He could form into many versions of water, from a puddle, a handmade of water, to water vapour. Yes he could do it all, he even picked a name for himself... The Rainman! Titan Techs is the leading technical company in the city, and the man who runs it, Gary Stern, is an evil man. He wants to take over the city and eventually the world! He and his team ended up building a state-of-the art killing machine dubbed the 'Mr. Titan Automaton'. The machine is 10 feet tall with a hard exterior body, the latest and greatest smart computer running inside... oh did I mention liquid mental arms that change into weapons. The newest superhero, The Rainman has to put his powers to the test while facing this incredible cyborg. They battled over and over as Titan City became a mess. Before the city gets completely destroyed, The Rainman found a way to destroy the mighty machine and beat him at his own game... on the computer. He ended the nightmare that plagued the city and let them know a hero was born.

Download or read book House Rules written by Jodi Picoult and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-04-03 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Small Great Things and the modern classics My Sister’s Keeper, The Storyteller, and more, comes a “complex, compassionate, and smart” (The Washington Post) novel about a family torn apart by a murder accusation. When your son can’t look you in the eye…does that mean he’s guilty? Jacob Hunt is a teen with Asperger’s syndrome. He’s hopeless at reading social cues or expressing himself well to others, though he is brilliant in many ways. He has a special focus on one subject—forensic analysis. A police scanner in his room clues him in to crime scenes, and he’s always showing up and telling the cops what to do. And he’s usually right. But when Jacob’s small hometown is rocked by a terrible murder, law enforcement comes to him. Jacob’s behaviors are hallmark Asperger’s, but they look a lot like guilt to the local police. Suddenly the Hunt family, who only want to fit in, are thrust directly in the spotlight. For Jacob’s mother, it’s a brutal reminder of the intolerance and misunderstanding that always threaten her family. For his brother, it’s another indication why nothing is normal because of Jacob. And for the frightened small town, the soul-searing question looms: Did Jacob commit murder? House Rules is “a provocative story in which [Picoult] explores the pain of trying to comprehend the people we love—and reminds us that the truth often travels in disguise” (People).
Download or read book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time written by Mark Haddon and published by Anchor Canada. This book was released on 2009-02-24 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bestselling modern classic—both poignant and funny—narrated by a fifteen year old autistic savant obsessed with Sherlock Holmes, this dazzling novel weaves together an old-fashioned mystery, a contemporary coming-of-age story, and a fascinating excursion into a mind incapable of processing emotions. Christopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up to 7,057. Although gifted with a superbly logical brain, Christopher is autistic. Everyday interactions and admonishments have little meaning for him. At fifteen, Christopher’s carefully constructed world falls apart when he finds his neighbour’s dog Wellington impaled on a garden fork, and he is initially blamed for the killing. Christopher decides that he will track down the real killer, and turns to his favourite fictional character, the impeccably logical Sherlock Holmes, for inspiration. But the investigation leads him down some unexpected paths and ultimately brings him face to face with the dissolution of his parents’ marriage. As Christopher tries to deal with the crisis within his own family, the narrative draws readers into the workings of Christopher’s mind. And herein lies the key to the brilliance of Mark Haddon’s choice of narrator: The most wrenching of emotional moments are chronicled by a boy who cannot fathom emotions. The effect is dazzling, making for one of the freshest debut in years: a comedy, a tearjerker, a mystery story, a novel of exceptional literary merit that is great fun to read.
