Some worthy...like expanding the options for race on school tests beyond just a few bubbles. And some not so much...like complaining to the BBC about the length between Doctor Who seasons. Lupe needs an A in all her classes in order to meet her favorite pitcher, Fu Li Hernandez, who's Chinacan/Mexinese just like her. So when the horror that is square dancing rears its head in gym? Obviously she's not gonna let that slide. Not since Millicent Min, Girl Genius has a debut novel introduced a character so memorably, with such humor and emotional insight.

After Omega discovers she has the unique ability to influence the emotions of supernatural creatures, she’s certain she’s strong enough to handle the feelings of others on Día de Muertos. But when darkness overwhelms her, it’s a sign that she’s still vulnerable—and even worse, there may be a new malicious presence in her hometown of Noche Buena. When a child goes missing at the cemetery, panic ensues, prompting the new sheriff to open an investigation. But then another child is taken. And another. Soon, with the help of Carlitos, Clau, and a magical emotional support animal, Omega uncovers that El Cucuy—the boogeyman—is responsible for the disappearances. And it doesn’t take long for Omega to realize that, just like with La Lechuza, she may be the only one who can stop him. But at what cost? This goose bump–raising sequel to Omega Morales and the Legend of La Lechuza is packed with magic, myth, and a brave heroine who must confront her own fears to save her family.…After all, what’s scarier than El Cucuy?
Book Synopsis Of Sunshine and Solitude by : Paul Hill Juarez
Download or read book Of Sunshine and Solitude written by Paul Hill Juarez and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2020-11-09 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AS WE LOOK BACK ON OUR LIVES . . . As we look back on our lives, there is usually that one special person that we lovingly recall who touched our lives in a very special way. For me, it was my beloved Mother that after having been told by her doctor that she did not have long to live, spent precious time with her then twelve-year-old son. The stories she told me, some about the family and others from the Bible, I discovered later, were to prepare me for the often hard realities of life. I am forever grateful. Stories can serve to inform, entertain, and occasionally enlighten us with meaningful information and knowledge from diverse sources such as philosophy, religion, and science. In human history, storytelling is a rich source and fountain of special human relationships, events, and cultural heritage conveyed in the various languages of our precious human family. The short stories in Of Sunshine and Solitude reflect the dual realities of life, joy and sorrow, which we have experienced in our yesterdays, and are about to experience in the present realities we face today, and the promises and unknowns that await us tomorrow. DEAR READER: If you are fortunate enough to have that special person in your life still alive, take the opportunity to personally express your THANKS for the special kindness and love that special someone has given you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The chemistry between these characters is downright palpable." —USA TODAY on The Wolf at the Door Agent Cooper Dayton and his partner, Oliver Park, are going undercover—at a retreat for couples who need counseling. They do say the best cover story is one that’s close to the truth… Agent Cooper Dayton is almost relieved to get a phone call from his former boss at the Bureau of Special Investigations. It means a temporary reprieve from tensions created by house hunting with Oliver Park, his partner both in work and in life. Living together in a forever home is exactly what Cooper wants. He’s just not keen on working out the details. With a former alpha werewolf missing, Cooper and Park are loaned to the BSI to conduct the search at a secluded mountain retreat. The agents will travel to the resort undercover…as a couple in need of counseling. The resort is picturesque, the grounds are stunning and the staff members are all suspicious as hell. With a long list of suspects and danger lurking around every cabin, Cooper should be focusing on the case. But he’s always been anxious about the power dynamics in his relationship with Park, and participating in the couples’ activities at the retreat brings it all to the surface. A storm is brewing, though, and Cooper and Park must rush to solve the case before the weather turns. Or before any more guests—or the agents themselves—end up dead.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incredible new novel from Newbery Medal winning author Donna Barba Higuera. This is the story as it was told to me by Leandro the Mighty. For 400 years, Earth has been a barren wasteland. The few humans that survive scrape together an existence in the cruel city of Pocatel - or go it alone in the wilderness beyond, filled with wandering spirits and wyrms. They don't last long. Thirteen-year-old pickpocket Leandro and his sister Gabi do what they can to forge a life in Pocatel. The city does not take kindly to Cascabel like them - the descendants of those who worked the San Joaquin Valley for generations. When Gabi is caught stealing precious fruit from the Pocatelan elite, Leandro takes the fall. But his exile proves more than he ever could have imagined - far from a simple banishment, his consciousness is placed inside an ancient drone and left to fend on its own. But beyond the walls of Pocatel lie other alebrijes like Leandro who seek for a better world - as well as mutant monsters, wasteland pirates, a hidden oasis, and the truth. A thought-provoking and beautifully written novel, creating a whole new imaginative world that holds a mirror to our own. Praise for The Last Storyteller: 'Truly a beautiful cuento' New York Times
