Book excerpt: Read the USA Today bestseller from the author of Roses, a "sumptuous, full-bodied, and emotional" novel about five young spies embedded among the highest Nazi ranks in occupied Paris (Adriana Trigiani, NYT bestselling author of Tony's Wife). At the height of World War II, a handful of idealistic young Americans receive a mysterious letter from the government, asking them if they are willing to fight for their country. The men and women from very different backgrounds -- a Texan athlete with German roots, an upper-crust son of a French mother and a wealthy businessman, a dirt-poor Midwestern fly fisherman, an orphaned fashion designer, and a ravishingly beautiful female fencer -- all answer the call of duty, but each for a secret reason of her or his own. They bond immediately, in a group code-named Dragonfly. Thus begins a dramatic cat-and-mouse game, as the group seeks to stay under the radar until a fatal misstep leads to the capture and the firing-squad execution of one of their team. But is everything as it seems, or is this one more elaborate act of spycraft?

Book excerpt: For fans of Wrinkle in Time and The School of Good and Evil, the New York Times bestseller The Mark of the Dragonfly is a fast-paced adventure story about a mysterious girl and a fearless boy, set in a magical world that is both exciting and dangerous. Piper has never seen the Mark of the Dragonfly until she finds the girl amid the wreckage of a caravan in the Meteor Fields. The girl doesn’t remember a thing about her life, but the intricate tattoo on her arm is proof that she’s from the Dragonfly Territories and that she’s protected by the king. Which means a reward for Piper if she can get the girl home. The one sure way to the Territories is the 401, a great old beauty of a train. But a ticket costs more coin than Piper could make in a year. And stowing away is a difficult prospect—everyone knows that getting past the peculiar green-eyed boy who stands guard is nearly impossible. Life for Piper just turned dangerous. A little bit magical. And very exciting, if she can manage to survive the journey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'One of the most unforgettable books I have read in the last few years... What a writer! What a thinker! What a woman!' Fiammetta Rocco From the award-winning author of Dust comes a magical, sea-saturated, coming-of-age novel that transports readers from Kenya to China and Turkey. On an island in the Lamu Archipelago lives a solitary, stubborn child called Ayaana and her mother, Munira. When a sailor, Muhidin, enters their lives, the child finds something she has never had before: a father. But as Ayaana grows into adulthood, forces of nature and history begin to reshape her life, leading her to distant countries and fraught choices. Selected as a descendant of long-ago Chinese shipwrecked sailors Ayaana is sent to study in China. Leaving her resourceful single mother, she is forced to grow up fast. Whether it's the scarred captain of the Chinese shipping container that transports Ayaana or the son of Turkish shipping magnate who trades in refugees, Owuor never loses a profound sense of empathy for her characters. She evokes a fascinating kind of beauty in this dangerous, chaotic world and its ever-shifting oceans and trade. Told with a glorious lyricism, The Dragonfly Sea is a transcendent story of love and adventure, and of the inexorable need for shelter in a dangerous world. 'One of Africa's most exciting voices ... The Dragonfly Sea is a continent-hopping novel of epic proportions.' Refinery29 'In its omnivorous interest in the world, The Dragonfly Sea is a paean to both cultural diffusion and difference . . . as much as [the novel] traces the globe, it also depicts an internal pilgrimage, its heroine in rose attar a broken saint.' New York Times 'Owuor continues to break ground among contemporary African writers.' Vanity Fair

Book Synopsis The Crash of the Dragonfly by : Carolyn Searls
Download or read book The Crash of the Dragonfly written by Carolyn Searls and published by EABooks Publishing. This book was released on 2020-08-03 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Crash of the Dragonfly takes you on a journey into the tropical jungles of Southern Palawan where you witness that the God of Daniel, King David and Peter performs the same miracles, shows the same protection, and leads us today as He did then. In that remote, mountainous region, the Searls family faced malaria, witch doctors, poverty, satanic oppression, political and religious antagonism and Muslim rebels. Daily survival required looking to the Lord Jesus. Fears had to be met with faith. Through hardships, God provided everything they needed to homeschool their children and do the work of the ministry. He encouraged them with miracles, protection, and the salvation of many. Embodied in this true story are Rick's flights as a jungle pilot to mountainous villages where you'll be introduced to Palawano tribes. See their way of life and get to know their beliefs that kept them in bondage to fears and superstitions. How can the gospel make a difference and set them free from the oppression fears bring? The Searls hit a crossroad. What looked like the end of a man's ministry turned out to be the beginning of something greater. Carolyn shares how the Lord leads us on the course He wants us to take if we are willing to turn the corner with Him. Would you like to build strong relationships with people who think and live differently than you do? Principles in this book can be applied to all relationships. You'll have an opportunity to learn about a different culture and how one adjusts. Carolyn shows the role a disciplined mind plays in successful living and lets you see how a new church was started. At the end of each chapter is a personal application and prayer of dedication. Adventures in the book reveal God's mighty power over adversity with great victory. A plane crash that was looked at with dread, disappointment, and even failure became the catalyst God used to lead to unimaginable blessings and salvation. Whatever trials you face in life, never give up. It's always too soon to quit.
