Book Description
With the changing family dynamics, it can be difficult for children to see where they fit in. Whether it is a learning disability, behavior issue, divorce, stepsiblings, loss of a family member, homelessness, or depression-all of these and more do adversely affect our children. Instead of a happy, loving childhood, the child is faced with these distractions and can't look past them. Rocks, Socks, and Ugly Underwear addresses the issues with divorce as well as anger. It is a funny story about a little boy named Tarnish. The children will see how Tarnish learned to deal with his anger issues as well as the divorce of his parents. He finds out everything is going to be fine; life is just different for each child. The children will laugh at the antics that Tarnish does throughout the story, then see his amazing transformation by becoming a happy, loving child. This is the first in a series of books to help empower children to look and actively seek the good in everything they see and do. If they can look past what they can't change and still find happiness, these precious children will be able to see that they are loved, important, and needed. The problems these precious children carry on their shoulders is why these books are being created. Karen hopes to bring a glimmer of hope and happiness to each reader, one book at a time.

Book Description
In a series of blog-like sound-bites, Underwear or Socks? An Overland Odyssey tells the story of a journey that starts in Turkey and covers more than 40,000 kilometres to end in Australia. Travel with the author as he scales the slopes of the highest mountain in the world; endures 50-degree heat and 90-percent humidity; stands face to face with a wild tiger; descends into an underground city; flies across a barren landscape in a hot-air balloon; skis the slopes of a volcano; battles stinging insects, spiders, snakes and rats; camps out in desert storms; fords flooding rivers; and swims with crocodiles. Viewed through the wide and often incredulous eyes of an armchair traveler finally doing it for real, it turns out that the world really is a weird, wonderful and often very amusing place.

Book Description
A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.

Book Description
“Epic . . . a story in which the landscape of Iceland is as much a character as Freya, making this an exceptional and unique coming-of-age novel.” —Washington State Journal Freya Morris grows up in a typical American suburb—but every summer, she enters another realm entirely when she visits her relatives in Gimli, a tiny village in Canada settled by Icelandic immigrants. Here she falls under the spell of her troubled but charming aunt Birdie, who thrills her with stories of exotic Norse goddesses, moody Viking bards, and the life of her late grandfather, the most famous poet of “New Iceland.” But when Birdie tricks Freya into a terrifying scandal, Freya turns her back on everything Icelandic and anything that reminds her of the past. She is living an anonymous, bleak existence in Manhattan when she finally returns to Gimli for the first time in two decades—and stumbles upon a long-concealed family secret. As Freya becomes increasingly obsessed with unraveling her family’s tangled story, she finds herself delving into the very memories she has worked so hard to forget. When the clues dry up in Gimli, Freya journeys to Iceland itself. On this rugged island of vast lava fields and immense glaciers, Freya’s quest comes to its unsettling conclusion. A beautifully-written debut novel that deftly weaves together Iceland’s distinctive history, ancient mythology, reverence for language, and passion for genealogy, The Tricking of Freya is a powerful exploration of kinship, loss and redemption. “Packed with delectable relationships and family secrets . . . we come away charmed, moved, and larger within having toured a hidden world with a passionate guide.” —Joan Frank, San Francisco Chronicle

Book Description
His childhood demolished by an absent father and a manic-depressive mother, Ray has known for a long time that life isn't worth living. Only his close band of similarly ruined friends sustains him. But when they scatter to all ends of the U.S., he is again filled with the desperate notion that life is meaningless, cruel, and unusual, and that suicide is the only logical conclusion. Determined to recover the joyful solace of his friends, Ray heads out into the bottomlands of America where the sediment of broken lives settles. Along the way, he observes the "dumb expectations, dumb anger, dumb resilience, and the dumb, unbearable hope" of citizens everywhere across "the enormous bulge of magnificent, deformed American land." Again finding love in the unloved and beauty where least expected, Ray thrives. But at the same time, he is confronted with indifference, self-absorption, sexual deviance, resignation, and failure. What part of cruel existence compels most of us to survive? Will Ray discover it?
