Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Friends William, Robert, and Annie are on the cusp of adulthood while the world is on the brink of war. It is a Canadian summer in 1939 and Robert and Annie's love has blossomed, even as the inevitability of the boys joining up means separation and the first of many losses. Fearing he might not return, Robert makes William promise to take care of Annie. Every arena of their lives is infiltrated by the war, from the home front to the underground of queer London to the bloody battlefields of Italy. Even in the aftermath, in the shadow of The Dreamland, these friends fight their own inner battles: to have faith in their right to love and be loved, to honour their promises and ultimately find their way "home." A Wake for the Dreamland was on the Edmonton Journal Bestseller List for 35 weeks before winning the Alberta Readers' Choice Award.
Book Synopsis Wide Awake in Dreamland by : John Duel
Download or read book Wide Awake in Dreamland written by John Duel and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-05-26 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nine-year-old Eddie has such a wonderful imagination that late one night he catches a Sandman who escorts him to Dreamland. Once there, he learns Mortimer has cast an evil spell on the Sandman's sand with one diabolical aim: to steal Eddie's imagination. Eddie's only hope to break the spell and get back home safely is to find the last good wizard in Dreamland. During that journey, he encounters many perils in his desperate race against time. All of this happens because Eddie is not asleep as he should be. Eddie is Wide Awake in Dreamland. Conjuring memories of such classics as The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland, John Duel's Wide Awake in Dreamland celebrates its 20th anniversary as a treasured favorite in the library of children's literature. From the whimsy of the clueless but well-meaning Sandmen to the terrifying Trogs, Wide Awake in Dreamland packs its page-turning story full of adventure. Booklist said "this rollicking fantasy has it all" and those words are as true today as they were when the book was first published in 1992. March 1, 1992 Booklist review: This rollicking fantasy has it all: an exciting plot, a likable hero, an evil warlock, a powerful wizard who's "just a girl," tiny sandmen who sound suspiciously like leprechauns, hordes of awful creatures, and a kindly giant who isn't tall. Nine-year-old Eddie has a terrific imagination. That's why he's able to catch Sandy, the sandman. Though initially shocked that Eddie can see him, Sandy recovers quickly and invites Eddie to Dreamland, assuring him that nothing can harm him as long as he's really asleep. Eddie accepts the invitation, but when the pair reach Dreamland, they learn that Mortimer, the evil warlock, has tainted the sleep sand so he can steal Eddie's imagination. The only one who can help Eddie now is the wizard Beni, and the expedition to find Beni results in one adventure after another. Middle-school fantasy lovers won't be able to put this book down, and older readers will also enjoy the puns and silly situations-even though Eddie is only nine. A wonderful read-aloud. -Chris Sherman "bright, original...swift and involving." -Children's Bookwatch "a spell binder... This is a fairy tale for children of all ages." -Abilene Reporter-News

This book was released on 2012-08-13 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An engrossing examination of the science behind the little-known world of sleep. Like many of us, journalist David K. Randall never gave sleep much thought. That is, until he began sleepwalking. One midnight crash into a hallway wall sent him on an investigation into the strange science of sleep. In Dreamland, Randall explores the research that is investigating those dark hours that make up nearly a third of our lives. Taking readers from military battlefields to children’s bedrooms, Dreamland shows that sleep isn't as simple as it seems. Why did the results of one sleep study change the bookmakers’ odds for certain Monday Night Football games? Do women sleep differently than men? And if you happen to kill someone while you are sleepwalking, does that count as murder? This book is a tour of the often odd, sometimes disturbing, and always fascinating things that go on in the peculiar world of sleep. You’ll never look at your pillow the same way again.

Book excerpt: Dea Donahue has been able to travel through people's dreams since she was six years old. Her mother taught her the three rules of walking: Never interfere. Never be seen. Never walk the same person's dream more than once. Dea has never questioned her mother, not about the rules, not about the clocks or the mirrors, not about moving from place to place to be one step ahead of the unseen monsters that Dea's mother is certain are right behind them. Then a mysterious new boy, Connor, comes to town and Dea finally starts to feel normal. As Connor breaks down the walls that she's had up for so long, he gets closer to learning her secret. For the first time she wonders if that's so bad. But when Dea breaks the rules, the boundary between worlds begins to deteriorate. How can she know what's real and what's not?

Book Synopsis Wide Awake in Dreamland by : Michael Harrington
Download or read book Wide Awake in Dreamland written by Michael Harrington and published by . This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine a small cube floating in an endless sea of perfect bliss. Only within that tiny cube is it possible to experience anything OTHER than ecstasy, joy, and total consciousness. Such is our sojourn in the hologram called "Dreamland." A splitting of time, the blue star's arrival, opening stargates, and the 7-year window - these, along with our reunion with Inner Earth and the rest of the universe, all play significant roles in End Times scenarios. Experts tell us what is likely to happen; but surprisingly, each version is different! The holographic nature of reality explains why. Other topics in this third and final book in the "Colliding Rivers" series include: signs and synchronicity, befriending Bigfoot, our arrival at Zero Point, the "Dreamland Matrix," and the two most likely "alternate endings" to our current drama. Insights sprinkled along the author's path about the mystery of the hologram pave the way for a startling "one with the universe" experience after being introduced to Ho'oponopono. "Wide Awake" also answers the question many have asked over the years: "Whatever happened to the Chief?" Quote: "The world you see about you is a hologram. It is made from your light. It IS you!"
Book Synopsis John Doe No. 2 and the Dreamland Motel by : Kenneth Womack
Download or read book John Doe No. 2 and the Dreamland Motel written by Kenneth Womack and published by Northern Illinois University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On April 19, 1995, a truck bomb exploded just outside of Oklahoma City's Murrah Federal Building, killing 168 people. Within a matter of hours, the FBI launched the largest manhunt in U.S. history, identifying the suspects as Timothy James McVeigh and John Doe No. 2, a stocky twentysomething with a distinctive tattoo on his left arm. Eventually the FBI retracted the elusive mystery man as a bombing suspect altogether, proclaiming that McVeigh had acted alone and that John Doe No. 2 was the byproduct of unreliable eyewitness testimony in the wake of the attack. Womack recreates the events that led up to this fateful day from the perspective of John Doe No. 2—or JD, as he is referred to in the book. With his ironic and curiously detached persona, JD narrates—from a second-person point of view—his secret life with McVeigh, Terry Nichols, and others in America's militia culture as McVeigh and JD crisscross the Midwest in McVeigh's beloved Chevy Geo Spectrum. John Doe No. 2 and the Dreamland Motel is the tragicomic account of McVeigh's last desperate months of freedom as he prepared to unleash one of the deadliest acts of domestic terrorism in the nation's history. Womack's novel traces one man's downward spiral toward the act of evil that will brand his name in infamy and another's desperate hope to save his friend's soul before it's too late.

Book Synopsis Dreamland (YA edition) by : Sam Quinones
Download or read book Dreamland (YA edition) written by Sam Quinones and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an adult book, Sam Quinones's Dreamland took the world by storm, winning the NBCC Award for General Nonfiction and hitting at least a dozen Best Book of the Year lists. Now, adapted for the first time for a young adult audience, this compelling reporting explains the roots of the current opiate crisis. In 1929, in the blue-collar city of Portsmouth, Ohio, a company built a swimming pool the size of a football field; named Dreamland, it became the vital center of the community. Now, addiction has devastated Portsmouth, as it has hundreds of small rural towns and suburbs across America. How that happened is the riveting story of Dreamland. Quinones explains how the rise of the prescription drug OxyContin, a miraculous and extremely addictive painkiller pushed by pharmaceutical companies, paralleled the massive influx of black tar heroin--cheap, potent, and originating from one small county on Mexico's west coast, independent of any drug cartel. Introducing a memorable cast of characters--pharmaceutical pioneers, young Mexican entrepreneurs, narcotics investigators, survivors, teens, and parents--Dreamland is a revelatory account of the massive threat facing America and its heartland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a strange realm, Roan was the strangest of all -- because he always looked the same: normal. Dreamland was the place where sleepers in the "real" world went when they dreamed, and the permanent residents might change their form without warning. In dreams, there's nothing unusual about talking to a giant rabbit who suddenly turns into a living fire hydrant without missing a beat in the conversation. But Roan was always...Roan. And that was very bizarre. But something sinister is going on in Dreamland. Their constantly changing world is created by the Seven Sleepers, and will continue to exist so long as at least one of the Sleepers is asleep and dreaming. Now someone is out to destroy Dreamland by eliminating them. And unless the nightmare plot is foiled, Dreamland and its inhabitants will vanish like a blown-out candle flame, bringing an end to all dreams.... At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).
