Download or read book Through the Wall of Rain and Fog written by Dan Moore and published by Coley Press. This book was released on 2008-08 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the Wall of Rain and Fog, written when author Dan Moore was 16, explores familiar themes of high school friendship, despair, and hope, told in a searingly authentic voice. Moore insists we join the characters search for truth, and propels us along with intimate revelation. As events unfold, the reader walks, runs, and ultimately races headlong into the unknown witness to the characters ragged, wrenching ascent into adulthood. The characters and the painful, promising plot take the readers breath away. The authors raw talent - his ability to craft dialogue and to express the inexpressible - leaves the reader longing for more. Aimed at young adult readers, the book has broad appeal as teen alienation is a dangerous issue at present. Parents will be riveted by the insight Dan provides into the hearts and minds, the intensity and sensitivity, and the interpretation of experience of teenagers growing up today. Some have compared the book to Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs or The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton. Dan Moore is now an 18-year-old living in the suburbs of San Francisco, on his way to college. He writes because he must, and still believes that Disco Cow, written in second grade, is his best work, though he is excited too about his next work, The Summer of Billy Stevens, due in early 2009. His lifelong habit of writing produces observations that develop into funny, frightening, irresistible narratives with vivid characters and alarming insights. His friends mean the world to him, but his most trusted companions are his morbidly obese dog and overweight cat.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people have upwards of a million dreams throughout their lifetimes. Those dreams often consist of a variety of different events that represent something that has happened to them before. Yet, this is not the case with Salvatore. Sal and his brother Vinnie are close but on different life trajectories—one going to work and the other prepping for college—when Sal’s dreams become an issue. He doesn’t dream every night, but when he does, it’s the same dream every time of a girl he’s never met. That girl turns out to be Lucy, the devil’s daughter. It seems fate has chosen Sal and Vinnie to be her protector, whether they’re ready or not. They are thrust into a world of danger and adventure, and they must quickly prepare for the supernatural battles in store.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Albert Gleeson, his pregnant wife Pam, and his young stepson are struggling to adjust to their life on an acreage in Georgia after their return to our world. However, on his way home from a long day of teaching, Al finds that his home has been ransacked—and his family kidnapped. The police initially suspect him of foul play. When he’s finally cleared, with the help of his friends, Al pursues the kidnappers to Abaddon, a continent whose main land surface rests ten kilometres below sea level. Their search eventually forces them to cross an even deeper abyss, called Sheol, where the air pressure is so high that dragons fly. Fighting frustration and despair at his inability to locate Pam and his stepson, Al soon begins to understand that he has a role to play in rescuing the enslaved prisoners of Abaddon.
