Download or read book The Time Keeper written by Kevin E. Cropp and published by Copper Press. This book was released on 2006-02 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sixteen miles downstream from the birthplace of George Washington where the Shenandoah River comes out of the Blue Ridge carrying sycamore leaves and acorns came a gem that shone brighter than most. That gem was Linda Wails, but as providence would have it her life took as many steep drops and winding turns as did that river. The death of her father, a move to a godforsaken place with so few trees and so much sand, a bout with cancer, and an unrelenting relationship with her son Corey, left Linda no choice but to throw her hands up to the world and submit. The Time Keeper is the story of Linda's return and one last somersault down the river is required. With the North Carolina state baseball playoffs in full swing, seventeen year old Corey Wails has more important matters to attend than his mother's recent wish to make amends. To Corey, life is as simple as the game -- a fastball, a curve ball, and waste a pitch before the strike out. It is the game that Corey loves, and like a ball player who hears no chatter he tightens his blinders and races towards the finish line. But what he finds when he gets there bares no resemblance to what he had dreamed for so long. His mother's change of heart is puzzling to Corey; he wonders how such a thing occurred, how something larger than life itself crept inside the body of Linda Wails and whispered, 'It will be okay Linda, this is the natural way of things.' Linda wonders if that voice will ever reach her son. Perhaps the voice that is larger than life itself is none but our own, buried deep inside of us. One thing is certain, the Time Keeper will not be kept waiting.

But Reapers have recently been spotted in Japan, and it’s only a matter of time before Ivy, now Britain’s Death Goddess, comes to claim her revenge. Ren’s last hope is to appeal to the god of storms and seas, who can turn the tides to send Ivy’s ship away from Japan’s shores.

As her journey thrusts her in the middle of scheming gods and dangerous Yokai demons, Ren will have to learn who she can truly trust—and the fate of Japan hangs in the balance.

Download or read book The Timekeeper written by Anna Riphahn and published by . This book was released on 2023-06-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A children's book about an era before time was found, "where the past and the future were nowhere around." The Timekeeper was written and illustrated by the late Anna Riphahn when she was only 14 years old. Her painstaking efforts and ambition earned her a National Written and Illustrated By Award for Students given by Landmark Editions, Inc. Her budding career as an author and artist was cut short when Anna died in a car accident at the age of 17. This is the third printing of the book and a bonus section includes the story of Anna's life and artistry. The Timekeeper is a brilliant if sometimes ironic look at how humans learned to adapt to and control time. But even more clever than Anna's poetry are the intricately detailed illustrations that accompany the text. This is a book to be treasured by all ages.

Book excerpt: The interesting story "The Forgotten Timekeeper" is set in a world where time has changed and become tangible. Eli is the main character of the story. He is a small child from a town where time has stopped, leaving everything the same. Eli's life changes a lot when he meets the final Timekeeper. This is a mysterious person who sees Eli's special gift and chooses him to be an apprentice. This is the start of Eli's amazing mission to bring balance to time to a world that is about to stop moving. It is hard for Eli, and the trip is full of symbols. It takes him to many ethereal places that represent different times. On his first trip, to the Forest of Seconds, Eli learns about how seconds are hard to catch and how fast they move. When he gets to the Mountain of Hours, time seems to be heavy and taking a long time, which tests his patience and endurance. After that, Eli goes to the Valley of Minutes, where time runs naturally like a stream and teaches him how fragile minutes are. Eli finally gets to the City of Days, a busy city full of history and the passing of time. It's there that he learns how complicated and important longer periods of time are to life. On his trips, Eli gathers the lost sands of time. Each grain represents a different part of time that he experiences. Eli thinks of this trip as both a great way to learn and a way to freeze time. He gains a deep knowledge of how time works and learns important lessons about being brave, determined, and the value of every moment. His character grows with each challenge he faces, making him a worthy Timekeeper heir. The turning point in the story happens when Eli and the old Timekeeper try to restart the huge old clock inside the clocktower. These last few tasks will test how much Eli knows. By working together, they are able to turn on the clock again, starting over time, and save everyone from being stuck in a never-ending loop. Eli finally becomes the Timekeeper in his town. The ancient Timekeeper fades into lore, happy with Eli's success and change. He or she leaves a legacy that lives on in Eli. The story ends with Hamlet waking up in a new time when time is respected and valued. This is because of the bravery and determination of a little boy who tried to embrace the power of time that had been forgotten. Time has always been important, and "The Forgotten Timekeeper" is a story about growth, excitement, and time. First things first, This story takes place in a world where time has stopped and there is an infinite present. It is about fate, bravery, and how mysterious time is. The story "The Forgotten Timekeeper" takes us to a village where time has stopped and how the seasons change has become a lost ritual. We meet Eli, a little boy whose life will be changed by a fate he could never have imagined. He is in this strange position. Eli's story starts in the middle of this town that never changes, where day and night blend together to make a continuous flow. In this case, time is not only a lost scientific fact, but it is also a lost cultural heritage, an art that used to shape the lives and histories of the people who lived there. Eli is different from the other locals in that he is interested in time because he is naturally curious and amazed by the world beyond his eternal life. The story takes a very different turn when the last Timekeeper shows up. This Timekeeper thinks Eli has the power to restore their world's balance. After that, Eli goes on an amazing trip that takes him out of his village and to magical places where he is tested in ways, he never thought possible. Not only does each step of his trip teach him something new about history, but it also teaches him something about himself and the huge legacy he is meant to leave. "The Forgotten Timekeeper" is more than just a story. It looks into the depths of time, the strength of the human spirit, and how one little boy's bravery can change the course of his whole world. As Eli takes us on his trip, the story is full of symbols, action, and the age-old desire to understand the world around us. Chapter 1: The Village That Will Never End. Eli's strange life began in the Timeless Village, which was mysterious and had no one else around. It was always dark in this colony. It was in a world where the sun never rose or set and the moon never rose above the horizon. It was still in good shape after all this time. The people who lived there didn't notice how much time had passed; getting old was a thing of the past. But Eli was not like everyone else in this world of conformity. In Eli's village, the word "time" had become a myth, but Eli was very interested in it out of a deep sense of wonder. His friends, on the other hand, accepted their endless lives with a calm resignation. Old, wise people talked a lot about the good old days, when time moved quickly and brought growth and change. They talked about how the land looks different each season, how fun it is to see kids grow up, and how to accept getting older in a gentle way. These stories made me want something vague, like lost dreams that were hard to explain. These stories, on the other hand, made Eli want to understand and interact with the idea of time even more. He would walk around town and look at the same old buildings and same old faces of his friends. It made him feel like time was standing still.
