Book excerpt: “Who are you, and why have you entered my dream-space?” Donya asked. “I am a bee from planet Earth, and my name is Ben.” He circled around and chanted, “S.O.S. S.O.S. The bees are dying. The pollen is poisoned with chemicals, and the genetic code of the plants has been modified so that they no longer are nourishing to All Life.” “Earth Mother’s skin, the soil, is cracked and dead. If we cannot pollinate the plants, not enough plants will grow to feed the animals and the humans. Life on Mother Earth will cease as we know it. The humans won’t have food.” “I’ll help you, Ben the Bee.” Startling himself fully awake as he spoke out loud, Donya looked around. “Whoa. Manny, you’ll never guess who came into my dream-space.” Manny rustled his leaves and rumbled deep within his trunk, “Was it Ben the Bee?”
Download or read book Danny written by Patricia Smith and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-07 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Danny is the story of a true event about a man with Down syndrome who was senselessly and viciously murdered. His life is recounted, and the criminal investigation, trial and its results are laid out for the reader's scrutiny. Only then are readers able to understand what happened to the criminals and to Danny’s family. Throughout Danny’s life there were many crises, which he overcame by the strength of his personality and family support. Danny had many clear-headed attributes, and he certainly utilized his intellectual abilities to their maximum. Out of determination and need, Danny created his own business enabling him to become self-supporting and financially independent. But rather than giving him the recognition he deserves, we are left pondering his fate. Danny was brave and didn’t submit to his aggressors. His bravery was no different than a soldier's on the field of battle. Danny's death, unfortunately, presents us with a dilemma: Did he fail to receive equal justice under the law, because he was handicapped? In many ways, our society and the people who govern it appear to be unable to properly cope with individuals like Danny. On the face of it, for whatever reason, our highly technical society is regrettably able to abstract itself from the needs of its less fortunate members. Heroes are not selected. If they were, they would all be glamorous, rich and, perhaps, celebrities. In reality, we must accept a hero from whence he comes. Danny was an authentic hero, even though he came to us from poverty and obscurity.

They furiously began to clear the dirt from around the edges. Together they lifted the heavy door ... So far, life has been pretty ordinary and dull for fifteen-year-old twins Henry and Haley Miles. But after their father purchases a large estate in northwestern Idaho, they are thrilled to begin a new adventure in the mountains. Little do they know that their lives are about to change forever. As soon as Henry and Haley are introduced to the diverse group of mysterious characters that inhabit the small town of Bonners Ferry, they learn of a tragedy hundreds of years ago that spawned the kind of legend that has always kept the locals wary and suspicious. It is not long before the twins stumble upon a map and an unusual key that leads them through a portal to another time, and a world filled with mystical creatures. As a princess pleas with the teens to rescue an innocent family from a fate worse than death, they soon uncover not only the secrets of the past, but also the mission of evil beings determined to win at all cost. In a strange world filled with magic, wonder and beauty, Henry and Haley must abandon their childlike innocence and demonstrate to everyone all the ways humans can overcome seemingly impossible odds.
