Book excerpt: From a three-time Newbery Honor author: Harry Houdini Marco had it hard enough as a normal clumsy twelve-year-old—but growing wings made it even worse. Except for his unusual name, Harry Houdini Marco is unremarkable in every way. While his namesake was the greatest illusionist of all time, Harry can’t even catch a ball. He is on the verge of a long, boring summer—and he is dreading every moment of it. Then he meets a mysterious traveling salesman named Mr. Mazzeeck. But Mr. Mazzeeck is more than a traveling salesman, he’s a wizard—at least, he claims to be. Before he leaves town, Mr. Mazzeeck gives Harry a bottle of magical oil, saying that the potion will give him wings. And to Harry’s amazement, the oil works: He gets wings! Now he just has to figure out how to use them. This ebook features an extended biography of Zilpha Keatley Snyder.

Book excerpt: "Linnet waited with her eyes closed for the door to open and her mother to peek in. Waited for her to touch Linnet's shoulder blades lightly...Linnet knew that touch in her bones, as if it had happened every night of her life. An imprint, a memory of the skin itself." So begins this startling first novel about an eleven-year-old girl who suddenly begins to grow wings -- wings with soft auburn feathers, which only at first can be hidden with long hair and loose clothes. Funny, sad, and hopeful, this remarkable story captures a girl's shock at feeling alone in life, as it follows her journey to answer a most important question: how can a girl with wings ever fit into the world?

Download or read book Grow Your Wings, Fly Away and Build Your Nest written by John Jakasal and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grenadian Experience Shines Like a Caribbean Jewel in this Book of Personal History John Jakasal poetically presents the soul of Grenada and how it can survive and prosper as world renowned "Isle of Spice" with his life as an example. USA, The Caribbean & Globally Grenadian writer and author John Jakasal weaves "the cobweb that hides two paths in life" in the eminently readable memoir Grow Your Wings, Fly Away And Build Your Nest. Sharing his family background and life story, he spins illuminating connections to Grenadian history through the colonial phase and compares it to the modern, complex fruit of that history to rekindle the island's spicy reputation and agricultural foundation that has seemingly lost its colors diminished by the annual hurricanes. He discusses what it means to be a Grenadian American as chief Technologist, Professor in the school of Radiology Technology and Clinical Instructor. His kind finds itself readily accepted in New York City, a place known for its homogenous international culture. His story may be unusual to many, but it is given serious consideration in this eye-opening memoir of a young man from humble beginnings who worked hard, left his parents' home, never forgetting from where he came, became independent, owes not a single man, and now comfortably retired. Author John Jakasal's textual path dances on the light of his spider's web, and the dance of the spider as he weaves a vision of home, of a place to live and make a living in an agricultural safety net. Yet the delicate nature of Grenada's present is also present in the proceedings. The spider's web is a delicate, gossamer beauty and it is Jakasal's brilliant poetic view of his mother island; little Grenada swamped by waves modernism and highwood. In Jakasal, as well as in the strong moral heart of his book, lie all things Grenadian: The island beauty and its blessed clime, the physical points of national identity that are still remarkably untouched despite the onslaught of modernity. This is further refined into an appreciation of how America is a place of opportunity for anyone willing. A place where a Grenadian's native qualities can shine. Jakasal gives readers the taste of native Grenadian stew in this work, and it is an experience both filling and a taste everyone of his readers will remember with an appreciation of the nation and the people that made it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: USA TODAY AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER Founder & CEO of Blue Air Training LLC, James "Chef" Barlow sparked a multi-billion dollar industry that didn't exist, and the first fully weaponized, civilian-owned, airborne training provider in support of the U.S. Air Force was born. Blue Air, now a global brand, paved the way to a new frontier in contracted airborne services, and leads as the gold standard for national defense. The Boy Who Grew Wings is the incredible true story of a boy who wanted to become a fighter pilot, conquered Stage 4 cancer, raised two boys as a single military dad, and his battle against all odds to make his dreams come true... Dreams do come true. James ended up serving 20 years in the U.S. Air Force as an A-10 pilot, flying more than 100 combat missions, and building a career that far exceeded his own expectations. As his time in the Air Force came to a close, his mission to save the men and women of this great nation burned hotter. He and his wife Gretchen made the tough decision to leave the Air Force and launch the next chapter of their future: Blue Air Training. From taking lives to saving them... James paved the way in the new frontier of defense support and aviation by founding the first fully weaponized, civilian-owned and private training air force to fly in support of the U.S. Air Force in an industry that didn't exist yet-something illegal at the time until he did it. His vision to train and equip warfighters for war with state-of-the-art and elite tactics he mastered during his time in the War on Terror became his catalyst for building a multi-billion dollar industry in just six years. He knew he couldn't build it alone-so he called in favors and created his own Hall of Justice, comprised of the most elite defense operators in aviation-both veteran and civilian. Your ghosts become your fuel... Through a never take prisoners attitude, James persevered against overwhelming odds stacked against him. From severe childhood abuse from a man supposed to be a father-figure to a young boy, to suddenly becoming a single dad of two boys while fighting combat missions overseas, to pursuing his dreams as an entrepreneur and building the first of its kind defense industry, to discovering over a phone call that he had months to live because of the raging Stage 4 cancer eating way at his insides... Through it all James never forgot the mission or his dream. He used those circumstances as rocket fuel to motivate him to overcome any challenge or obstacle thrown at him until he crossed the finish line. Failures and setbacks don't define you... James considers everything that he overcame a blessing that forged him into the man, father, husband, and leader he is today. Your mistakes, setbacks, and failures don't define your worth or your potential. Your dreams, talents, unwavering determination and grit, ability to pivot and solve worthy problems, all while expending the necessary energy and effort to see it through represent the true value of a person. The torch passes to you... Do you possess a dream deep inside of you that refuses to leave you? Do you have the gumption to see it through no matter what, and focus all of your energy to manifest it like James did with his dream... Then click the 1-Click buy button, and let's find your true north together.

Book excerpt: Two brothers bound together by affection and responsibility. Jadran is five years older than Josh and huge enough to be nicknamed Giant.

So Josh looks after Jadran and they both adjust. When the brothers find an injured young crane, Jadran wants to bring it back to their small apartment and teach it to fly at any cost. And it turns out the cost is high. Intensely moving without ever slipping into sentimentality, The Blue Wings is a warm, love-filled story about fragility, strength, and brotherhood, in all its complications.

Book excerpt: As World War II comes to an end in 1945, President Franklin D. Roosevelt dies in office. Throughout the country, the greatest generation mourns its leader. A spring snowstorm in Western New York inaugurates the cold war. Chuck Hobbie is just a boy, born on unlucky Friday, April 13th, but fortunate to be a child in Buffalo. As all Buffalonians know, it is not a dazzling city, unless the sparkle of winter snow and the shimmer of reflected summer lights from Erie and Niagara count. Likewise, the city's citizens, families, and teachers are unremarkable, unless resilience, friendships, and quiet, day-to-day hard work matter. Buffalo's children are not special at all, except that they were raised in Buffalo, amid the history of the Niagara Frontier, by people who cared for them and institutions that prepared them to fly. Buffalo's west side is where Chuck comes of age, but his childhood experiences range from there to New Hampshire's White Mountains, a farm in Lewiston, N.Y., Holloway Bay in Ontario, and Alaska's Brooks Range. Join Chuck as he recalls in Buffalo Wings the childhood family, friends, teachers, and experiences that shaped his life in the decades before the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
