Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Newbery Honor Book: Spending the summer in a dull French village is not what Johnny had in mind . . . but soon he’s hot on the trail of a Nazi spy! When twelve-and-a-half-year-old Johnny Littlehorn’s dad returns from the front lines and announces they’re spending the summer in France, Johnny is appalled. He doesn’t understand why they’re going to France when they could stay home at their Wyoming ranch instead. But that’s before he discovers an old German pistol hidden in a loaf of bread. When Johnny arrives, he finds the village of Saint-Chamant anything but boring. With the help of his new friends Suzanne and Charles, Johnny follows a winding trail that leads to a fugitive spy and a stolen fortune. Before long, he’s learning French, helping his oncle Paul build a real airplane, and unraveling an evil Nazi plot!

Download or read book Martin B 26 Marauder written by Martyn Chorlton and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-08-20 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A definitive technical guide to one of the most underrated medium bombers of the Second World War. The Martin B-26 Marauder never fully managed to shake off an undeserved early reputation as a dangerous aircraft to fly. Deemed superior to all other designs on the table at the time, almost a 1,000 had been ordered before the aircraft first took to the air November 1940. From late 1941 the first B-26s became operational in the Pacific, followed by the Mediterranean, but it is in the European theatre that the type was most prolific. It was particularly during the Normandy Landings and later the advance beyond 'the bulge' into Germany, were the B-26s medium level tactical ability shone through. This compact volume charts the full history of this aircraft, from serving with the RAF, SAAF and Free French Air Force in the Mediterranean to the little credited Balkan Air Force in support of Tito's Partisans in Yugoslavia. Sadly the B-26 was unfairly treated at the beginning of its career and even more so at the end as many of the 5,200+ aircraft built were scrapped only days after the end of the war. Alongside stunning artwork including technical illustrations, Martyn Chorlton shows why, as a great aircraft in many respects, the B-26 deserves to be in a better place.

Download or read book The S Files written by Rebecca Linam and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2015-04-25 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warning!!! What you are about to read is a complete and truthful account of the world of espionage. Forget everything you thought you knew about spies. What you thought you knew is totally wrong. For example, did you know that... *...the Russian Spy Agency employed seven-year-old spies? *...the American Spy Agency’s top scientist, Dr. Pepper, cloned its most successful agents? *...the Japanese Spy Agency developed a type of cheese that boosted its agents’ success rates by up to 25%? *...the Spanish Spy Agency invented its famous tickle torture? *...the Flemish Spy Agency uncovered a Martian plot to take over the world? *...the Phlegmish Spy Agency was responsible for many major flu outbreaks during the Cold War? You might also think that backwards Russian pig-Latin is not a real spy code, but it’s listed in the Russian Spy Agency handbook. This book explains how it really happens. This is spying in its true, exposed form. (This book will self-destruct when you finish reading it.)
Download or read book A Dictionary of Literary Pseudonyms in the English Language written by T.J. Carty and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-03 with total page 859 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its first edition Dictionary of Literary Pseudonyms established itself as a comprehensive dictionary of pseudonyms used by literary writers in English from the 16th century to the present day. This new Second Edition increases coverage by 35%! There are two sequences: Part I - which now includes more than 17,000 entries- is an alphabetical list of pseudonyms followed by the writer's real name. Part II is an alphabetical list of writers cited in Part I-more than 10,000 writers included-providing brief biographical details followed by pseudonyms used by the wrter and titles published under those pseudonyms. Dictionary or Literary Pseudonyms has now become a standard reference work on the subject for teachers, student, and public, high school, and college/universal librarians. The Second Edition will, we believe, consolidate that reputation.
Download or read book David and the Phoenix Illustrated written by Edward Ormondroyd and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-02-10 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David has no greater wish than to explore the mountains behind his new home in North Carolina and as he does he finds a wonder never dreamed of, the Phoenix. The Phoenix introduces David to an endless list of his friends from mythology and in the process opens David's eyes to the wide world both the unseen world and seen world. In the unseen world David and the Phoenix share many adventures all the while a scientist is trying to capture the Phoenix to prove to the world that the bird is real. The phoenix takes David on "educational field trips" to meet sea monsters, fauns and other creatures. Plus they hatch a hysterical plot to scare off an over eager scientist from the phoenix's trail. David learns some valuable lessons about life, one is that nothing remains the same as one grows up. The other is... well perhaps you should read the book yourself and find your own lessons within the pages. A well written story, "David and the Phoenix" has no particular time setting so that it could very well be placed in current time. It brings back to me memories of times when life was much simpler, more pleasant and without the problems we as adults face. It's a story of childhood and the dreams that children of every age share and which we all to soon leave behind. Of course, there is the traditional fiery death of the phoenix in the story.

Download or read book African and African American Images in Newbery Award Winning Titles written by Binnie Tate Wilkin and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2009-08-03 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1922, the Newbery Medal of Honor has been awarded to distinguished works of literature for children. Although African and African American characters appeared in children's books well before the establishment of the Newbery award, such depictions were limited, with characters often only appearing as slaves or servants. However, over the last several decades, there has been much progress, and Black characters have played a much more integral role in many highly regarded novels. In African and African American Images in Newbery Award Winning Titles, Binnie Tate Wilkin provides a historical and contextual examination of books with such depictions that have been acknowledged by the nation's most prestigious award for children's literature. Wilkin explores the depictions of African and African American characters in these novels and illuminates the progressive quality of such representations. Wilkin looks closely at such elements as aesthetic descriptions, subservient characterizations, the relationships between characters, and specific language usage to investigate how these images have progressed toward increasingly positive depictions. She also notes, when applicable, the significance of the lack of any African or African American images. This book is an essential resource for those interested in African American studies, children's literature, and the relationship between the two.
