Book Description
*A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2018!* All Summer Long, a coming-of-age middle-grade graphic novel about summer and friendships, written and illustrated by the Eisner Award–winning and New York Times–bestselling Hope Larson. Thirteen-year-old Bina has a long summer ahead of her. She and her best friend, Austin, usually do everything together, but he's off to soccer camp for a month, and he's been acting kind of weird lately anyway. So it's up to Bina to see how much fun she can have on her own. At first it's a lot of guitar playing, boredom, and bad TV, but things look up when she finds an unlikely companion in Austin's older sister, who enjoys music just as much as Bina. But then Austin comes home from camp, and he's acting even weirder than when he left. How Bina and Austin rise above their growing pains and reestablish their friendship and respect for their differences makes for a touching and funny coming-of-age story.

A Flash of Green
Author: John D. MacDonald
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 0307827143
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 466
Book Description
A Flash of Green tells the gripping story of small-town corruption and two people brave enough to fight back, featuring many of the themes John D. MacDonald explored better than anyone in his legendary career as a leading crime novelist. Introduction by Dean Koontz The opportunists have taken over Palm City. Silent and deadly, like the snakes that infest the nearby swamps, they lay hidden from view, waiting for the right moment to strike. Political subterfuge has already eased the residents toward selling out. All that’s left now is to silence a few stubborn holdouts. James Wing is only trying to help a friend’s widow. At least that’s what he tells himself after warning Kat Hubble that the beautiful bay she and her neighbors have struggled to save is going to be sold to developers. He knows that he shouldn’t have told her anything. He’s a reporter, trained to reveal nothing. But he’s falling in love with her. Now cutthroats have set their sights on Kat—and they’ll do anything, use anyone, to stop her from interfering in their plans. Praise for John D. MacDonald “John D. MacDonald was the great entertainer of our age, and a mesmerizing storyteller.”—Stephen King “The first modern writer to nail Florida dead-center, to capture all its languid sleaze, racy sense of promise, and breath-grabbing beauty.”—Carl Hiaasen “To diggers a thousand years from now, the works of John D. MacDonald would be a treasure on the order of the tomb of Tutankhamen.”—Kurt Vonnegut

In a Flash
Author: Thomas L. Duncan
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1098028147
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
In a Flash is a story of survival, of faith, and of God's grace in the face of harsh uncertainty. Tom Duncan reaches deep within to share about how he overcame molestation, resisted suicide, battled cancer, and survived the severe burn of nearly half his body. Through it all, God stayed by his side, giving him the strength to not only withstand the pain and suffering of these experiences, but also to share the beauty of life revealed to him repeatedly. In moments of triumph and sorrow, it was the author's relationship with God that allowed him to persevere and touch the lives of so many. In this book, he reminds us that no matter how much pain or self-doubt one experiences, a Christ-centered life provides the resiliency and peace to heal. The author wants to inspire readers to let Christ into their lives, thank Him for the blessings provided, and willingly engage Him for the courage to endure life's hardships. Tom's hope is that by reading about his own uneven faith journey, readers will have hope where there was none, have faith where it did not exist, and open their hearts to the eternal love and compassion waiting for them in God.
