Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set adrift by his wife's suicide and struggling to keep a grip on reality, Bunny Munro does the only thing he can think of: with his young son in tow, he hits the road. To his son, waiting patiently in the car while his father peddles beauty wares and quickies to lonely housewives in the south of England, Bunny is a hero, larger than life. But Bunny himself, haunted by what might be his wife's ghost, seems only dimly aware of his son's existence. When his bizarre trip shades into a final reckoning, when he can no longer be sure what is real and what is not, Bunny finally begins to recognize the love he feels for his son. And he sees that the revenants of his world—decrepit fathers, vengeful ghosts, jealous husbands and horned psychokillers—are lurking in the shadows, waiting to exact their toll. At turns dark and humane, The Death of Bunny Munro is a tender portrait of the relationship between a boy and his father, with all the wit and enigma that fans will recognize as Nick Cave's singular vision.

Book excerpt: Princess Aster must leave home to discover why her people are disappearing—even if it means journeying over the rim of the world itself—in this animal fantasy graphic novel perfect for fans of blockbuster series like Warriors and Wings of Fire. The Bunny who worries is heavy and slow. To fly with the flock, one must learn to let go. Be content and with joy! Lay fears to rest: the bunny who smiles suits the bunny flock best. In Princess Aster’s world, Bunnybirds live in contented isolation, keeping themselves detached from the world in order to practice magic and receive prophetic visions. Nothing is ever wrong, and no one is ever angry. . . even as Aster’s people seem to be slowly disappearing. But when her father is next to go, her goal is as definite and unclouded as her heart: she’s going to rescue him, no matter how. To find her people, she must leave the royal Home Tree and travel to the Court of Dragons—and then across sea flats, through deserts, and over the rim of the world itself—to find out what’s happened, with only the exiled bunnybird thief Carlin and the lackadaisical centipede-dog Feet for company. The further Aster travels from home, the more questions she has: Are the Bunnybirds truly as happy as they say? And if they aren’t, can she let go of age-old traditions in order to rescue her friends? A sweet but sweeping graphic novel adventure, Bunnybirds offers readers a richly imagined animal world full of magic, danger, and excitement.

Book excerpt: “Don’t he look like a sweet little bunny?” The kind-hearted delivery nurse had no way of knowing that her well-intentioned words would doom Bunny Boy Potts to a lifetime of ridicule. Well, that and the unfortunate way his ears stuck out like two ping-pong paddles. Living with his unhinged single mother, his entire life is spent apologizing for existing while scraping by for enough to survive. Food and love—neither is freely available in the Potts’ home, but the sharp sting of the strap is always on standby. When Bunny meets Raquel, he thinks she could take him from scarecrow misfit to normal teen. Growing in the sunshine of her approval, Bunny even gets a job from his rancher neighbor, TC. For the first time in his life, Bunny can buy clothes that fit. He can eat enough to stave off the hunger that used to sing him to sleep every night. Along with a paycheck, he earns a nickname and the grudging respect of those around him as he begins to rise above the hand he’s been dealt. But Bunny Boy Potts wasn’t meant to have a life like everyone else. Debut author BJ Sloan serves us hope and despair in this gripping coming-of-age tale set in 1970s rural Texas.

Download or read book Bunny and Shark written by Alisha Piercy and published by Book*hug Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiction. From Alisha Piercy comes BUNNY AND SHARK, a middle-aged coming-of-age story-cum-shark- adventure that celebrates women's power in the trenches. Plunging into the first thirteen days after the 'bastard' pushes his ex- Playboy wife 'Bunny' over a cliff in the Caribbean, BUNNY AND SHARK is a fable about island survival and the perils of being exiled from one's identity. Literally lost at sea, Bunny is fueled by the miracle of having been saved from sharks by a band of dolphins. Her continued survival depends on her ability to become a spiritual extension of the landscape: she is the mood of the ocean at night as she swims blindly in it and the protective coolness of the jungle by day; the close-walled refuge of the sailboats anchored in the harbour and the sparkling deck of an opulent super yacht when, transformed, she makes a triumphant return to her former world. Introducing one of the great heroines of contemporary fiction, BUNNY AND SHARK takes readers on a voyage intense with abandon in a story that invokes more than a little bit of magic in the telling.
Download or read book Butterflies and Wrens written by Robert Smith and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-04-12 with total page 843 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Smith’s first book entitled My Bunny Rabbit Adventures features his father’s repertoire of 1960s bedtime stories about the bunnies who lived in the woods next door. One of the bunnies from those original stories called Hector is featured in this subsequent book, which is a novel about Hector’s life and times from the age of two when he first met Robert, the storyteller, to when his first child reaches this impressionable age. It therefore covers Hector’s circle of life. You will discover how Hector grew up, what happened to him, what he became, how he coped with the good and bad things that came his way, what he learned from his experiences and from those of others, and finally, how he matured into a grown-up rabbit with a family of his own. The reader will learn about, and gain a better understanding of both their and other peoples’ feelings, challenges, and fears and how to deal with them and how to respect and treat others. The novel includes some interesting true stories and facts as part of the story line, which you may find interesting and useful and, hopefully, just utterly amazing too! This book is therefore an ideal first novel for children.
Download or read book The Believer written by David Coggins and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-04-09 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of the instant fishing classic The Optimist wades into deeper waters and shares new wisdom, humor, and experience in seven extraordinary fly-fishing expeditions that mark one year in his journey through the middle part of life when worldly demands increase even as fishing continues to beckon—and must be pursued. In David Coggins’s previous book, The Optimist, he tackles the techniques of fly fishing and meditates on its virtues, recounting his triumphs and frustrations. Now, in The Believer, he deftly mixes travel, local cultures, further fishing challenges (some knee-buckling in their disappointment), and details his own experience as life and love crowd his time to fish. Self-consciously—and self-deprecatingly—Coggins embarks on seven far-flung fishing voyages, away from screens and social media, not answering his phone, reveling in humanity’s undying yearning for a quest, for the rituals and rites of passage that mark transition. For David, these journeys not only showcase his skill as an angler—including to Norway, Scotland, Spain, Cuba, and Argentina, as well as road trips to Wyoming, Tennessee, and the Catskills—they also signal the end of his fly-fishing youth. But that doesn’t mean that David will sell all his rods and hang up his hat; rather, that his relationship with his fly-fishing obsession will evolve. And he’s okay with that—mostly, especially if he can catch an elusive salmon or a ferociously strong tarpon or the mysterious and almost invisible bonefish. The Believer is a humble, humorous call for the journey that is part of the destination, where the search for greater self-awareness leads to patience, observation, and endurance. And, since this is fly fishing, after all—there’s always the possibility of abject failure and leaping, glorious reward. Wry, entertaining, thoughtful, and relatable, The Believer will hook both anglers and non-anglers alike.

Book excerpt: Our main character, who sees herself as more of a villain rather than a good-hearted citizen, has no name. Hence why she’s addressed as NoName. She has no family, at least none that her memory-absent mind can remember. She’d say she’s completely alone because the sarcastic asshole in her head doesn’t count, regardless of how many times he’s told her that he’s an actual person. The only thing she knows for certain is that the world is over, and the stupid, groaning, brain-dead corpses are responsible for that. Just when NoName thinks she’s got a grasp on her confusing life, the world throws more complications her way. Enter Bunny and Scotty Moore, odd names, but not as odd as their personalities. Scotty, a seventeen-year-old smartass whose mouth never comes to a halt, somehow worms his way under NoName’s cold exterior and gets her to warm up to them. Bunny, on the other hand, possesses a wisdom way beyond that of a twelve-year-old girl. Her innocence and naïve outlook of the world and people somehow manages to turn NoName’s negative perspective of herself. When the siblings blackmail NoName to help them find their long-lost brother, with little to no hints of where he’s gone, can she help the siblings, and perhaps even (as cliché as it sounds) find herself in the process?
