Book Description
From an award-winning essayist and acclaimed poet comes this radiant, observant, and warmly funny memoir about childhood, family, and small-town life. Carla Funk grew up in a place of logging trucks and God, pellet guns and parables. Every Sunday, she sat with her mother and brother in the same pew at the Mennonite church while her dad stayed home with his cigarettes and a fridge full of whiskey. In these tender, humorous stories, Funk stitches together the wondrous and the mundane: making snow angels and carrying sacks of potatoes, tossing pig bladders like footballs, and vying for the Christmas pageant spotlight. Part ode to childhood, part love letter to rural life, Every Little Scrap and Wonder offers an original take on the memories, stories, and traditions we all carry within ourselves, whether we planned to or not.

Book Description
In a 16-year career spent with Chelsea and Southampton, goal-scoring legend Peter Osgood made 560 appearances, scoring 220 goals and winning two FA Cup-winner's medals. He was part of the victorious Chelsea side that defeated the mighty Real Madrid in the 1971 European Cup-Winners Cup final and is the last player to have scored in every round of the FA Cup, including the final. Ossie tells the story of the career and the extraordinary roller-coaster personal life of the man who spearheaded a team that made as many headlines off the field as on. The truth about the hard-drinking and hard-living antics of these Kings Road dandies - Hudson, Cooke, Baldwin and company - has never before been told. Osgood tells of his strained relationship with manager Dave Sexton, which resulted in his and other stars' departures, triggering a decline in Chelsea FC's fortunes that took some 20 years to reverse. He recounts his experience in the Mexico World Cup of 1970 and is brutally honest about the challenges and problems faced by ex-footballers as they attempt to adjust to life in mainstream society. Peter Osgood was no ordinary footballer and Ossie is no ordinary football autobiography. Like the King of Stamford Bridge himself was, this book is entertaining, outspoken and full of surprises.

Book Description
It's 11:00 p.m. Do you know where your children are? Years ago, that question was asked of every parent as it aired nightly on national television. It was a simple question that prompted a simple answer: "Yes, I do" or "No, I don't." We live in a much different world today, a world in which the answer to that once simple question is not so simple anymore. While we may find relief in knowing that our child is at home in their room, typing away on their computer, they may be, in essence, very far away indeed. Welcome to the world of the internet. Escape is just a click away. Alex is a young boy who is very unhappy with his life. His parents have moved so many times that he constantly struggles with the conflict of leaving his close friends and having to make new ones. He uses his creative imagination, natural curiosities, and after-school "at home alone" time on the internet as a means of escaping his emotional turmoil. This, unwittingly, leads him to make a gruesome discovery that changes his life forever. The Latchkey is a story about the childhood friendships that bind us, the unsettling power of the internet that we wield so carelessly at times, and the changing world we live in and its effect on our families. Get ready to embark upon a suspenseful journey that will make you laugh, cry, cause you to wonder, and will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
