Book Description
Funny, poignant, and deeply moving, The Line Tender is a story of nature's enduring mystery and a girl determined to find meaning and connection within it. Wherever the sharks led, Lucy Everhart's marine-biologist mother was sure to follow. In fact, she was on a boat far off the coast of Massachusetts, collecting shark data when she died suddenly. Lucy was seven. Since then Lucy and her father have kept their heads above water--thanks in large part to a few close friends and neighbors. But June of her twelfth summer brings more than the end of school and a heat wave to sleepy Rockport. On one steamy day, the tide brings a great white--and then another tragedy, cutting short a friendship everyone insists was "meaningful" but no one can tell Lucy what it all meant. To survive the fresh wave of grief, Lucy must grab the line that connects her depressed father, a stubborn fisherman, and a curious old widower to her mother's unfinished research on the Great White's return to Cape Cod. If Lucy can find a way to help this unlikely quartet follow the sharks her mother loved, she'll finally be able to look beyond what she's lost and toward what's left to be discovered. ★"Confidently voiced."—Kirkus Reviews, starred ★"Richly layered."—Publishers Weekly, starred ★"A hopeful path forward."—Booklist, starred ★"Life-affirming."—BCCB, starred ★"Big-hearted." —Bookpage, starred ★“Will appeal to just about everyone.” – SLC, starred ★"Exquisitely, beautifully real."—Shelf Awareness, starred

Fred's Dilemma
Author: Terry Devlin
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1465381996
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 163
Book Description
Terry Devlin has been a Management Consultant in Christchurch, New Zealand since moving from England in 1973. After his wife, Joan, died in 1999, Terry took up a new dimension with teaching English to overseas students mainly from South Korea, Japan and China. He successfully completed a TESOL Course in 2001 and this complemented tertiary studies in English Language and Literature from Canterbury University where he gained a Bachelor of Arts degree. Prior to that he was qualified and experienced in teaching management subjects and obtained a City and Guilds Teaching Diploma in England. The reason for taking up ESOL was that, while taking homestay students for many years, he realised that one essential skill missing from most language schools’ curricula was the ability to use the English language effectively. Strong on grammar but limited on usefulness! The English Conversation Centre started in 2000 and concentrated on Pronunciation, Reading, Speaking, Listening and Understanding. In looking for suitable material it was soon clear this was not available in the right form so Terry began creating his own exercises and writing his own stories for use in the classes. These range from Beginner, through Intermediate and to Advanced level and over all age groups. Callum and Oliver Devlin (right) are two of Terry’s three grandsons and they have done the illustrations for the books. The twins have shown an aptitude for the arts and this shines out from the excellent drawings.

Mayfield Bunny
Author: Herbert Feldman
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 146532478X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
Mayfield Bunny, the new novel by Herbert Feldman, author of Broken Record, is the story of an obsessional search, architected in fantasy and self-delusion. The novels protagonist, Dr. Egon Chernel, has dedicated his unruly, anarchic life to the elimination of human blindness on Planet Earth: Chernels astonishing scientific miracle, source of a certain Nobel Prize, depends upon his uncovering and interviewing Mayfield Bunny, a being of unknown species and image. Chernel gathers a small band of followers, needy individuals, in search of their own slot in society, around him. Chernel, chosen as savior of the sightless, tyrannically drives his disciples through his fanatical, lunatic hunt for his Holy Grail, Mayfield Bunny. Mayfield Bunny is absurd, surreal, but the book is, ultimately, a tragic rendering of the lethal price one pays for a life lived in fantasy and uncompromising delusion. You wont easily forget Egon Chernel and his acolytes in their quest for the mystery and essence of Mayfield Bunny.
