Book Description
It had come to this: breastfeeding her screaming three-month-old while sitting on the cigarette-scarred floor of a union hall, lying to her husband so she could attend yet another activist meeting, and otherwise actively self-destructing. Then Sonya Huber turned to her long-dead grandfather, the family nobody, for help. Huber s search for meaning and resonance in the life of her grandfather Heina Buschman was unusual insofar as she knew him only through dismissive family stories: He let his wife die of neglect . . . he used his infant son as a decoy when transporting anti-Nazi literature in a baby carriage . . . and so the stories went. What she actually discovered was that, like his granddaughter, Heina Buschman was a committed and beleaguered activist whose story echoed her own. Huber s research not only conjured her grandfather s voice in answer to many of the questions that troubled her but also found in his story a source of personal sustenance for herself. Based on extensive research and documentation, this story of Heina Buschman offers a rare look into the heart of the average socialist trying to survive the Nazis and rebuild a broken world. Alternating with his voice is Huber s own, providing a rich and moving counterpoint that makes this deeply personal exploration of family, politics, and individual responsibility a story for all of us and for all time.

Book Description
He is a mysterious old man, a wanderer, a warrior, but most of all, he is the storyteller known only as "Opa". Here, in the days before his tales of the last Triads of Tir na n'Og, he weaves his magic throughout the land with stories of heroes and deeds of valor. His stories bring to life the fabulous land known as Tir na n'Og, the Fey who rule there, and the human champions who do their bidding-willingly and otherwise. But beware: for some, his tales change the way they view their world, their beliefs, their values-and themselves. The Tourney for Don Miguel: The Ranger and Mystic of a broken Triad decide to host a grand tournament in hopes of learning something of their late Cavalier's mysterious past. What could possibly go wrong? Chosen: An aging Cavalier, at the end of his career, his hopes, and his courage, finds he yet has one more role to play, and the most important battle of his life yet to win. A Journey of a Thousand Miles: A young apprentice Mystic sets out for Tir to finish her education at the Mystics' Guild there. But against her will, she finds herself enrolled in a much harsher school, where each lesson means the difference between life and death. Three new stories of sword, sorcery, and adventure from the mysterious master storyteller of Tir na n'Og, suitable for adults and children of all ages.

Book Description
If you are looking for terrifying tales that will have you waking up screaming from nightmares; keep looking. I’m not Stephen King, I’m just a kindly old grandfather who doesn’t dabble much in the macabre. But, if you want interesting stories which are entertaining and engaging, read on. These stories are about people interacting with other people but in these stories the people also happen to be; vampires, witches, werewolves, angels, demons and a monster I invented for this collection of stories called a slurker. What do you do if you are becoming a monster? Do you embrace it like Theo and Dustin or resist it like LaRue? What do you do if you encounter a monster? Do you attack like Miss Grant or negotiate like Father O’Shea? Maybe you would call in outside help like Scoop, Zack and Timmy did. Find out how the characters in my stories handled their monsters in these seven stories. Happy reading, Opa Don

Book Description
A brave mouse, a covetous rat, a wishful serving girl, and a princess named Pea come together in Kate DiCamillo's Newbery Medal–winning tale. Welcome to the story of Despereaux Tilling, a mouse who is in love with music, stories, and a princess named Pea. It is also the story of a rat called Roscuro, who lives in the darkness and covets a world filled with light. And it is the story of Miggery Sow, a slow-witted serving girl who harbors a simple, impossible wish. These three characters are about to embark on a journey that will lead them down into a horrible dungeon, up into a glittering castle, and, ultimately, into each other's lives. What happens then? As Kate DiCamillo would say: Reader, it is your destiny to find out. With black-and-white illustrations and a refreshed cover by Timothy Basil Ering.
