Book Description
In 1946, Commodore Valentine discovers a mysterious abandoned child with a noble Baltic background. He raises her as his perfect Athenian Spartan daughter named Violet. But her idyllic life at Clifftops is shattered when she is sent to Boarding School at 14. Her Father dies suspiciously when she is 16. Violet matures into a beautiful, and resilient, multilingual athlete and fighter. She also learns charm, humour, and empathy. At 21, she survives the KGB uncovering her father’s investigation of traitors known as The Trinity. As the charismatic and solitary loner, code-named Poison Ivy, she is the perfect asset with no emotional attachments. This story takes her on an exhilarating journey through the 1960s as she is selected and trained by ASIS, then sent to various Asian countries discovering the mysterious death cult, The Empire Of The Three Lights. Despite facing challenges like drugging, street fights, over amorous villains, kidnapping, and torture, Violet remains sharp-witted and determined to seek justice and avenge her father. She also strives to protect the Anglo Australian ICBM program and prevent the use of The Cobalt Bomb. However, things become more dangerous when she is abducted and forced to fight in The Arena of Death in the Laotian jungle. Her final showdown takes place in Vietnam, where her enemies plan to sacrifice her in their temple. As threats loom and a traitors lurk, the ever-watchful KGB and Trinity hover.

ISBN: 0399186123
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
The New York Times bestselling Cat is back just in time for Valentine’s Day! Full of humor and heart, this picture book is perfect for fans of Bad Kitty, Mo Willems’s Elephant and Piggie books, and of course, Cat’s other capers, including Here Comes the Easter Cat, Here Comes Santa Cat, and Here Comes the Tooth Fairy Cat. Cat does NOT like Valentine's Day. It's much too mushy, and no way is he making anyone a valentine—especially not his new neighbor, Dog. Dog refuses to respect the fence: He keeps tossing over old bones and hitting Cat in the head! But just as Cat’s about to send Dog an angry "valentine" telling him exactly what he can do with his bones, Dog throws a ball over the fence. What is Dog playing at? Cat is in for a hilarious—and heartwarming—surprise in this story about being perhaps too quick to judge. A great Valentine's Day gift for any age—read it on Valentine's Day and year-round! "A charmer." —The Washington Post ★ “Wickedly fun.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review “Endearing . . . beautifully pitched comic timing.” —Kirkus “Fresh and satisfying . . . Empowers kids.” —BCCB “Simple but expressive . . . A favorite.” —SLJ

From the moment he saw Abby's video, Mason's gentle heart was filled with sympathy for her. He can't believe he's getting a chance to actually help her. Unfortunately, his nervous awkwardness makes their first encounter a complete disaster when he accidentally makes her cry, insults her business idea, and harasses her. But what Mason lacks in suaveness, he makes up for in determination. He's going to apologize and make things right. Can he be the knight in wrinkled Dockers who helps Abby heal her broken heart?
