Book excerpt: Monty tries to master a magic kit — and finds some real-life situations tricky — in this spot-on story about an endearing, utterly relatable first-grader. First grade is almost over, and Monty will soon be seven. He’s now a big brother, too, which makes him feel very grown-up. But when he tries to use the magic set his grandmother gave him, he has a little trouble. Maybe the card trick would work if he were eight years old? Mother’s Day is coming, and Monty wishes he had something better to give his mom than the picture frame he made out of ice-cream sticks at school. But how is he supposed to guess from the TV call-in ad how much flowers cost, or that you need a special card to get them? Whether involving his baby sister in his library project, losing a sneaker while marching with his karate class in the parade, or learning that an exciting afternoon isn’t always a good thing, Monty’s familiar adventures embody the gentle humor of everyday life.

Download or read book The Pennymores and the Curse of the Invisible Quill written by Eric Koester and published by New Degree Press. This book was released on 2022-04-25 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “supernatural adventure story, filled with atmosphere, twists, the sublime and dripping with heart” (NY Weekly)—about a young girl whose beliefs about magic are shattered when her brother vanishes in the middle of the night—is perfect for fans of Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Narnia, & The School of Good & Evil. Inspired from a bedtime story created by Eric and daughters Quinn and Parker, the Pennymores begins with a simple premise: what would the world look like if writing were forbidden. How would we communicate, how would we engage, how would we transact, how would we rule, and how would we remember? And what happens when a group of 11-year olds began to question this idea and push against a roving mob bent on preventing writing from ever returning? The Plumes, a secret writing society created by Parker Pennymore, vows to teach her classmates the power of writing and along the way uncovers a world of magic writers hidden before their eyes. It's an adventure story, a story of family, and a fantastical journey of whimsy, imagination, and creativity that all happens with the magical stroke of a quill. The setting was first inspired by Malala Yousafzai and her mission to help more than 120 million girls around the world who are not able to attend school. Proceeds of the book's sales will benefit the Malala Foundation in an effort to ensure writing is never forbidden, banned, outlawed, or stopped -- letting the magical power of writing live free. There's magical creativity in the book that could only come from the contribution of children's minds, and our story was created just as both Percy Jackson and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy began as bedtime stories by Rick Riordan and JRR Tolkien, respectively. Inside this world, you'll meet all varieties of creatures from talking animals, elves, dwarves, wizards, witches, and much more as you go deep inside a unique world built around the written word.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ADDICTION: CUNNING, BAFFLING, & POWERFUL In this gripping debut novel by Andrew Seaward, the lives of three addicts converge following an accidental and horrific death. Monty Miller, a self-destructive, codependent alcoholic, is wracked by an obsession to drink himself to death as punishment for a fatal car accident he didn't cause. Dave Bell, a former all-American track star turned washed-up high school volleyball coach, routinely chauffeurs his bus full of teens on a belly full of liquor and head full of crack. Angie Mallard, a recently divorced housewife with three estranged children, will go to any lengths to restore the family she lost to crystal meth. All three are court-mandated to a secluded drug rehab high in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. There, they learn the universal truth among alcoholics and addicts: Though they may all be sick...SOME ARE SICKER THAN OTHERS. Based on the author's own personal experience with substance abuse and twelve-step programs, Some Are Sicker Than Others, transcends the cliches of the typical recovery story by exploring the insidiousness of addiction and the harrowing effect it has on not just the afflicted, but everyone it touches. With the harsh realism of Brett Easton Ellis and the dark, confrontational humor of Chuck Palahniuk, Mr. Seaward takes the reader deep inside the psyche of the addict and portrays, in very explicit details, the psychological and physiological effects of withdrawal and the various stages of recovery.
