Book excerpt: Franky, a fifth-grader, is eagerly awaiting a field trip to a single-cell ghost town. He's read all about Western outlaws and sheriffs and grabs the first spot in line to board the school bus. Franky's enthusiasm is quickly snuffed by his classmate's cruelty about the thick glasses that he has to wear. Over and over again, the jeers and taunting crack Franky's excitement and self-esteem. Determined to enjoy his field trip, he tries desperately to ignore the mean remarks and hurtful drama that enfolds. Nearly beaten, Franky clings to an inkling of an opportunity to do the right thing. Take a field trip with Franky Four-Eyes to see how this ruthlessly teased youngster rises to the occasion and becomes an unusual hero.

Book excerpt: In 1968, during the height of the Vietnam War, Dr. Blacktea travels with a group of scientists to a decrepit hospital in a remote part of South Vietnam in hopes of creating a new kind of super solider. He finds four perfect candidates: Four-eyes, Shades, Bullrider, and Yankee. These four young men wake to know something is different about them, but theyre not sure what. On a practice mission, their helicopter is shot down and crashes in the jungle. Somehow, the soldiers survive and eventually find their way back to Dr. Blackteas hospital only to find it destroyed. Theyre in need of answers, and their answers wait at Camp Eagle. Led by Four-eyes, the men trek through the jungle as an unsatisfied hunger for human blood threatens their sanity. The four super soldiers soon realize they must make a wartime choice: Samson versus Gunner. Samson hopes to become the next dictator of Vietnam with the help of Four-eyes and his men. Gunner has similar ambitions to rule the jungle, also with their assistance. Will Dr. Blackteas experiments choose sides or use their newfound power to establish a world of their very own?

Download or read book Through Carmela s Eyes written by Frank Palumbo Jr. and published by Author House. This book was released on 2012-08-16 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of a young girl, an Italian immigrant, who was brought to America in hopes of a better life. Times were hard and her parents were forced to take her out of school, at age twelve and send her to work in one of the woolen mills in Lawrence Massachusetts. While there, she endured a devastating accident that would forever alter her life and that of her family. The repercussions would extend far beyond anything that could be imagined. Carmela Teoli, after spending seven months in a hospital, would go on to testify to a Congressional Committee about the conditions under which she, and the other children, had been forced to work. Her words had the power to influence many people including the First Lady, Helen Taft , who had been in attendance at the hearings. Mrs.Taft quickly took Carmela under her wing to the extent of inviting her to spend the night at The White House. Clothing, a warm bed and a delicious dinner were all provided for her. Carmela conversed freely with The President and his wife that evening about everything that she and her family had been through. The next day she would meet with more congressional members where she could further relay her plight. Following the Congressional testimony, working people were entitled to better conditions. The Bread and Roses strike of 1912 had made an impact on labor regulations as had the testimonies of the children.

Download or read book The Gloves written by Michael Silano and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-10-31 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on actual events, The Gloves starts as a love story between a mother and her four daughters. She was the thumb, and her girls were the other fingers--a hand if you may. The year was 1910 when my grandfather immigrated from Italy and joined a Hell's Kitchen mob soon after. In 1925, he met an innocent girl from New Jersey who wrongly crossed a legendary block in midtown Manhattan and wound up outside a speakeasy. They would marry, but the Great Depression, Pearl Harbor, and the ensuing War would change their lives forever. The story of her four daughters growing up in Brooklyn unfolds with equal measures of grace and tragedy, as life grants and takes away its greatest gifts over the years. The oldest daughter would marry first. Her husband would win the Silver Star for bravery during WWII, and his brother would come within one boxing match of challenging Joe Louis for the world title. The other daughters' lives would take different paths. All had families of their own as the tides of life ebb and flow. In 1990, Hollywood would write about one such incident in an Academy Award-winning movie loosely based on fact and fiction. Time transcends over five generations as we learn about loyalty and betrayal, joy and sadness while struggling through dyslexia and autism. Read about all sorts of mayhem and murder. Plus, alcohol and drugs, gambling, bookmaking, and racketeering. The Gloves starts as a tribute to a remarkable and selfless life. That life belonged to my mother, as she was one of the four daughters. It continues, however, as an autobiography of one not so gifted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moviegoers often assume Frank Capra's life resembled his beloved films (such as Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and It's a Wonderful Life). A man of the people faces tremendous odds and, by doing the right thing, triumphs! But as Joseph McBride reveals in this meticulously researched, definitive biography, the reality was far more complex, a true American tragedy. Using newly declassified U.S. government documents about Capra's response to being considered a possible “subversive” during the post-World War II Red Scare, McBride adds a final chapter to his unforgettable portrait of the man who gave us It Happened One Night, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, and Meet John Doe.
