But all is not what it seems. First the husband's infidelity comes to light; next his theft not only of her lovingly-restored boat, but of the family fortune she inherited. Just in time, Adele begins to hear a voice in her head, which she discovers is that of her famous female pirate ancestor, Great Aunt Anne Bonny. Part conscience, part mentor, Anne provides just the goad Adele needs to take back what's rightfully hers. She now has just thirty days to track down a ruthless group of murdering mercenaries and her family's own pirate treasure. While drawing survival tips from her long-lost pirate relative, Adele also connects with two other co-adventurers. One is the eccentric owner of Pirate's Plunder, pirate loot retriever. The other is a vibrantly masculine adventurer with whom she strikes up a hot romance, but whose military background she can't confirm. Is he part of the solution . . . or part of the problem? During this dangerous adventure on the high seas, Adele begins to find not only her family treasure, but also her true self.

Download or read book Under the Bed Creeping written by Michael Howarth and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-05-16 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Puritan tracts and chapbooks to fairy tales and Victorian poems, from zombies and werewolves to ghosts and vampires, the gothic has become an important part of children's literature. This book explores how Gothicism is crucial in helping children progress through different stages of growth and development. It examines five famous texts--Christina Rossetti's Goblin Market, Carlo Collodi's Pinocchio, Neil Gaiman's Coraline, three versions of Little Red Riding Hood, and J.M. Barrie's play and then novel Peter and Wendy--incorporating renowned psychologist Erik Erikson's landmark theories on psychosocial stages of development. By linking a particular stage to each of the aforementioned texts, it becomes clearer how anxiety and terror are just as important as happiness and wonder in fostering maturity, achieving a sense of independence and fulfilling one's self-identity. Gothic elements give shape to children's fears, which is precisely how children are able to defeat them, and through their interactions with the ghosts and goblins that inhabit fantasy worlds, children come to better understand their own world, as well as their own lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if Wendy first traveled to Neverland...with Captain Hook? Sixteen-year-old Wendy Darling's life is not what she imagined it would be. The doldrums of an empty house after her brothers have gone to school, the dull parties where everyone thinks she talks too much, and the fact that her parents have decided to send her away to Ireland as a governess—it all makes her wish things could be different. Wendy's only real escape is in writing down tales of Never Land. After nearly meeting her hero, Peter Pan, four years earlier, she still holds on to the childhood hope that his magical home truly exists. She also holds on to his shadow. So when an opportunity to travel to Never Land via pirate ship presents itself, Wendy makes a deal with the devil. But Never Land isn't quite the place she imagined it would be. Unexpected dangers and strange foes pop up at every turn, and a little pixie named Tinker Bell seems less than willing to help. But when Captain Hook reveals some rather permanent and evil plans for Never Land, it's up to the two of them to save Peter Pan—and his world.
