Download or read book The Mystery of Tully Hall written by Zoe Billings and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-31 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trapped in an underground cavern, terrified of a heartless thief who has left them in fear of their lives, escape for four brave young friends hangs on a malfunctioning mobile phone, a plastic bag and a stroke of genius. The Mystery of Tully Hall is a pacey, children's thriller that tells how school holidays on a Welsh family farm turn into a heart stopping detective drama for friends Barrie, James, Jenny and Liz. Screaming sirens and flashing blue lights of a police road block up ahead provide the first hint of what lies in store for the children - the most dangerous and exciting adventure of their lives. Curiosity and courage well to the surface when, on hearing how the police simply can't crack the case of priceless antique silver stolen from a rambling country mansion, the kids decide they'll have a go. Soon, however, they're out of their depth against the evil intent of a criminal mastermind determined to deprive Britain of precious heritage and the four tenacious investigators of any hope that they'll see daylight again. The clang of a strong gate barring their escape from the cold, dark underground cavern is in ominous contrast to how it was meant to be for the children when, over giddy whispers in a dormitory of their boarding school, they hatched a plan to holiday together at Barrie's new home, an inherited farm amid the rugged mountains of North Wales. They imagined fun and frolics from dawn to dusk. And so it had been at the start, with each day topped and tailed by the sleep of the exhausted, and fuelled, in between, by delicious meals cooked on an old country range in the farmhouse kitchen. Packed with twists, setbacks and challenges, The Mystery Of Tully Hall will leave readers gripped until the last page. The Mystery of Tully Hall, and the series of subsequent books to accompany it, promote in children the values of honesty, kindness, hard work and courage. Young readers will feel comfortable in a technology-enabled world while seeing too how technology can be a mixed blessing. A theme in the first book is that when the technology fails strong friendships, smart thinking and teamwork really count. Blytonesque, perhaps? But written for children living in a vastly changed world

Book excerpt: Zoe Bennett feels lost at her fancy private school. She's not the star drama queen like her sister, or a brainiac math genius like her brother. Luckily her best friend, Dara, is just as content as Zoe is to stay in the shadows -- or is she? When Dara gets a part in the school musical, Zoe feels abandoned. What's worse, Zoe's practically being stalked by the weird new kid, Lucas. Then Lucas accidentally drops his notebook and Zoe finds it's written in symbols and numbers -- it's complete gibberish. Yet she sees her name in there, plain as day. Now Lucas is telling her she's a natural code-reading genius -- or some kind of mental freak. As Zoe's daydreaming lands her in trouble at school, anonymous notes start to appear in students' lockers, and Zoe is the number one suspect. Solving word puzzles may come easily to her, but now there's more at stake -- will Zoe be able to solve her way out of this? With plenty of wit and insight, Barbara Dee has created this fresh, funny story of a girl who discovers that fitting in sometimes means standing out.

Download or read book Trouble Never Sleeps written by Stephanie Tromly and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Happily Ever After gets a serious makeover in this swoony, non-stop, thrill-ride of a conclusion to the Trouble Is a Friend of Mine trilogy Digby and Zoe have been skirting around each other for so long that you might think they'd lose their magic if they ever actually hooked up. But never fear--there's all the acerbic wit, steamy chemistry, and sarcastic banter you could possibly hope for. Now that Digby's back in town with a new lead, he's plunged Zoe (and their Scooby Gang of wealthy frenemy Sloane, nerd-tastic genius Felix, and aw-shucks-handsome Henry) into the deep end on the hunt for his kidnapped sister. Sure, it could require breaking into a government research facility (not to mention a little light treason), and yes, Zoe could be jeopardizing her Ivy League future. But dating Digby was never going to be short on danger, and it's worth it if it helps him get the closure he so desperately needs. The schemes might be over-the-top but this Breakfast Club cast is irresistibly real as they cope with regular high school stuff from social media shaming to dating your best friend, all with a twist no one will see coming. "I'm in awe of Tromly because of what she has pulled off. . . this book sings."--Jesse Andrews, author of Me and Earl and the Dying Girl and The Haters on Trouble Is a Friend of Mine

The audacious, self-sacrificing hero escapes, and heads home to NEK Vermont, to his ill-fitting reputation for good looks and moral conduct; but his life has changed forever. Under capricious circumstances, he’s surprisingly catapulted into a new investigation, where his two diametrically-opposed worlds collide, and he finds himself, once again, in the presence of his enemy. Lives get shattered and lost as yesterday’s failures chafe the day. Surprises abound, and winning this battle will take, not only his badass training, but his blood, guts and grit. Faint-hearted, but savvy journalist, Andrea Daye is any editor’s dream; but her personal life has gone sideways. Oblivious to her new husband’s past, she’s abhorred to find agents, lurking in shadows as evidence of his corruption rises to the surface. Trusting no one, her innocent, but sassy equivocations set her free-falling, not only into criminal charges, but into the arms of love. The Other Side of Fear is a story to savor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six months ago, Ty Sutherland dropped out of an online sex chat group. It was anonymous. No one knew their real identity. And it was a space where they could finally be themselves. Unfortunately, it was also a space where they fell in love with a woman whose name they promised to forget. Leslie Brandt would like to forget the online sex chat group she joined on a whim. In real life, she’s a successful realtor with a professional image to maintain. She’d never want anyone to know the kinky things she’s fantasized about—even if maybe she wishes some of those things could actually happen. When they bump into each other at an open house, Leslie thinks Ty is simply a vet student who’s obsessed with horses and only came to the open house for a free cookie—all of which is true. But when the rest of the truth comes out, neither Leslie nor Ty believes there’s a way forward. Sometimes believing in love is the first step. And sometimes it’s all about trusting the stars.
Download or read book Diary for a Daughter written by Katherine Dickson and published by Katherine Dickson Books. This book was released on 2006 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diary for a Daughter is a personal account of how having a daughter changes one woman's life. It is the story of one woman's experience of herself during these changes and traces her journey toward increasing psychological and emotional wholeness and happiness. The birth of the daughter coincides with the family's move to a new house and the mother's concerns about her own ability to make a home for her family in a tract house in a development. Three weeks before her daughter is born she and her husband move into the new house. She has had strong misgivings about the tract house in a development because it symbolizes what she hates in American life. The happiness she feels she attributes to pregnancy euphoria and after the birth she explores her feelings about the house. She comes to understand that one does not find the house of one's dreams, one creates it. She discovers that she is in the very situation she has avoided all her life, and realizes that the painful feelings associated with her mother, her early experiences of home, hearth, and domesticity are the issues she must face rather than the issue of living in a suburban tract house versus living in the city. She tries to deal with her fears, anxiety, and inner demons and decides that when she was single she needed the city for survival. To avoid regrets and resentment, she and her husband gradually work through questions of power, sex, and money. She experiences a sense of psychic victory and knows that she not only has a right to be happy, she has a right to be angry. She then attempts to create a happy, interesting emotional experience for her family four. The point or purpose of the work is to both present a unique personal account of individual growth as well as to present those aspects of a major experience which are universal. What is valuable and interesting about this journey is that it is told from the woman's point of view and the woman's experience through diary or journal format.
