Book Description
In a charming sequel to Adventures with Waffles, Trille and Lena navigate the rough waters of friendship when a new soccer coach and a new girl in school disrupt their seaside escapades. Trille and Lena may be getting older, but they still find everyday adventure—and trouble—in their coastal village, including sinking every raft they build, getting little sisters stuck up flag poles, and attending those dreaded music lessons. But that’s not all. The arrival of a less-than-encouraging new soccer coach is putting twelve-year-old Lena's goalkeeping career in doubt. And Trille is wondering how to impress the girl who has just joined his class. As the best friends battle the elements and their own emotions, one thing is for sure: they're not giving up, not if Lena has anything to do with it! In Maria Parr’s follow-up to Adventures with Waffles, the acclaimed author returns to Mathildewick Cove with a rib-tickling story of growing up.

Book Description
Pippi Longstocking meets Heidi meets Anne Shirley in this tale of an irrepressible girl in a mountain village who navigates unexpected changes with warmth and humor. Speed and self-confidence, that’s Astrid’s motto. Nicknamed “the little thunderbolt,” she loves to spend her days racing down the hillside on her sled, singing loudly as she goes, and visiting Gunnvald, her grumpy, septuagenarian best friend and godfather, who makes hot chocolate from real chocolate bars. She just wishes there were other children to share her hair-raising adventures with. But Astrid’s world is about to be turned upside down by two startling arrivals to the village of Glimmerdal: first a new family, then a mysterious, towering woman who everyone seems to know but Astrid. It turns out that Gunnvald has been keeping a big secret from his goddaughter, one that will test their friendship to its limits. Astrid is not too happy about some of these upheavals in Glimmerdal — but, luckily, she has a plan to set things right.

Book Description
Ancient folklore and modern myth come together in these stories by author Craig Laurance Gidney. Here are found the struggles of a medieval Japanese monk, seduced by a mischievous fairy, and a young slave who finds mystery deep within the briar patch of an antebellum plantation. Gidney offers readers a gay teen obsessed with his patron saint, Lena Horne, and, in the title story, an ailing tourist seeking escape at a distant shore but never reckons on encountering an African sea god. Rich, poetic, dark and disturbing, these are tales not soon forgotten. A finalist for the Lambda Literary Award.

Book Description
This true story gives you a glimpse into my tumultuous life from childhood to the present. You will read about my ever-changing life in Europe, my challenges, insecurities, and bad choices, as well as my hopes and dreams that were crushed, then reborn. You will learn how I found courage that came out of suffering and, finally, happiness that came from the knowledge that I had survived. You will read about why I was forced to leave my beloved native country and how I tried to adapt to other countries and cultures. With each challenge, a stronger person emerged. This book is the story of the triumph of my life, while it so easily could have been a sad story with a tragic ending. Each reader will discover a chapter he or she can relate to. Some women who are stuck in unhappy lives might realize that they do not have to stay in that position. Maybe reading my book will empower them. It will let them know they are not alone and there is always a way out. With enough determination, it can be done. There is also something for the men: action, travels, and, yes, a murder . . . But more than that, my story will tell you how a man can have an enormous influence in a woman's life, and how the lack of his love can destroy, but the presence of his love can heal her. It is all about CHOICES. It is my hope that this is a book you cannot put down and that it will make you grateful for the wonderful gift of life. It is up to us to create our own story, no matter what hand life deals us.

"My dear," said the gypsy queen gazing at Lena's palm, "I see many troubles in the past. I see powerful upheavals. I see death. Terrible scenes of death." By now Lena was trembling in fear.
