Illustrated children's book, about a young magician and dealing with bullies.
An instant New York Times bestseller! A girl who can speak to gods must save her people without destroying herself. A prince in danger must decide who to trust. A boy with a monstrous secret waits in the wings. Together, they must assassinate the king and stop the war. In a centuries-long war where beauty and brutality meet, their three paths entwine in a shadowy world of spilled blood and mysterious saints, where a forbidden romance threatens to tip the scales between dark and light. Wicked Saints is the thrilling start to Emily A. Duncan’s devastatingly Gothic Something Dark and Holy trilogy. This edition uses deckle edges; the uneven paper edge is intentional.

Can a little boy with impeccable etiquette and a very rude mule enjoy an afternoon together? What would you do if a mule knocked on your door one day and said, "I've come for lunch"? You'd say, "Hello! Come in, Mule." But what if the mule was very badly behaved? This extremely funny story shows young readers exactly how to handle such a situation. Wonderfully bold and bright illustrations and a child-in-charge perspective make this a tale of manners that even the rudest will enjoy.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The body you are looking at right now is the result of your genetics and your habits. It’s as simple as that. You have to make sure that any diet or exercise plan you engage in is worth it before you start. #2 You can choose your habits, and therefore change your body. It may not be the body that society thinks you should have, but it will be the body that is the result of your genetics and your chosen habits. #3 The point is to choose your effort consciously, and then your only job is to be happy with the results. I never look down at my belly and think, Dammit! Why did I screw up at that restaurant when I was out with my friends and have drinks and appetizers. #4 You get to decide what body you want. It may be the body you have right now, or it may be a body with six-pack abs. Either way, your journey to loving your body starts now.
Welcome back to New Sælland, where a tournament turns bloody and the Marquis Emergency Department suddenly faces a mass-casualty event. In “Duncan’s Gambit,” we are introduced to more hospital employees who, in their off-hours, are pirates, carpenters, and radio announcers. Through the stories, the author explores how people can succeed while living with psychiatric disorders and the importance of relationships between family and friends. The writing style is tongue-in-cheek slipstream, intended for all audiences. Even so, some sensitive readers may prefer the silly stories, as themes and terminology are from experiences in emergency medicine. Healthcare workers who grew up with 1980s music and movies will find this book amusing. So, buckle up and join the ride. The nurses are pirates, and their battles with Patient Transport’s armored tugboats are epic. Previously published in the "Not Violating HIPAA" series. No medical records were compromised in making this book
Student and teacher. Owner and pet. Frank Boxer and Duncan Cannon are both teachers: Boxer, an English teacher of seniors at Pines Environmental High School, and Duncan, Frank’s sixteen-year-old dachshund, whose life and fast-approaching departure from this world teach Frank far more than he ever expected. This is the poignant and yet intriguing story of a dog, a teacher, and an oppressive education system that keeps them both fighting for love, for life—and for each other, emotionally, spiritually, and in every other way in which dogs and humans connect. Duncan and Frank’s journey, both through the natural parks that beckon them, and through the re-creation of the most important nation on earth, the Imagine Nation, will pull you in and tug at your heartstrings, long after you have turned the final page. Call this an “educational love story,” if love means never having to say, “Sit down!” or “Play dead!” So, first, take your own dog for a long walk, and then settle in with Running to Duncan’s Field to experience the warmth, love, and strength of the bond between a man and his beloved dog.
