Book Description
Many eggs are laid by the lady dragon Arikka that crisp fall morning, but one egg is special. The newborn dragon seems weak, the proverbial runt of the litter, well, clutch in this case. Yet, he makes up for it with heart and hard work in his training: his hard gained flying, his fire attacks, not to mention his other more special abilities that he goes to the edge for. He will face many things as he grows: attackers, betrayers, loss and love. He will have many adventures, save friends and be saved as well. He will also make mistakes, as we all do, on the way to meet the thing that is also his name: Destiny!

Book Description
Firespark was never known to have much emotion or show his feelings. He was known for his strength and charm, which he eventually discovered wasn't what he needed most. What he needed most was a family. When he was just a hatchling his parents were killed by assassins, and his only sibling was taken to another continent as an egg. The assassins took him in and raised him. But after Firespark found out, he killed the master assassin and flew away. So he had to grow up pretty quick. Now, Firespark must carry out his part of The Heroes Plan to go aboard the human pirate ship, sail across the Cryptic Ocean, and to the Firestone Kingdom. There, they must somehow convince the king and queen to follow their ultimate plan to stop Queen Darkness. But the humans might not be as willing to let them freely sail, and neither would a tough, self-prideful, treasure stealing, deadly dragon. Join Firespark across Talvazah, fighting monsters from a Kraken, to a mountain-sized Lava Dragon! And discovering new secrets that could change everything, including a big secret that Firespark's been holding ever since the adventure began!

Book Description
“Jimmy Hatch is a personal hero of mine.” —Anderson Cooper “Irresistible. . . . A wounded SEAL’s shame becomes a salvation.” —J. Ford Huffman, Military Times James Hatch is a former special ops Navy SEAL senior chief, master naval parachutist, and expert military dog trainer and handler. On his fateful final mission in Afghanistan, his SEAL team was sent to recover Bowe Bergdahl—the soldier who deserted his post and fell into the hands of Al-Qaida and the Taliban. The mission went south, and Hatch was left with a shattered femur from an AK-47 round and the SEAL dog who fought alongside him was dead. As a result of his horrific leg wound, his twenty-four-year military career came to an end—and with it the only life he’d ever known. In Touching the Dragon, we witness his long road to recovery. Getting well physically required eighteen surgeries, twelve months of recovery, and learning to walk again. But getting well mentally would prove to be much tougher, as he fought through the depths of despair, alcoholism, and the pull to end his own life. What emerges is a different kind of hero’s journey, one in which Hatch shows the courage it takes to confess, confront, and overcome his own brokenness. Through the love of family, friends, and his military dogs, Hatch learned remarkable tools and found his purpose, and now he wants to share this wisdom with the rest of us because we all have wounds.

Book Description
The nation-state of Trinidad and Tobago offers a unique case for the study of the forces and ideologies of nationalism. This book reveals how this ethnically diverse nation (40% African origin, 40-45% East Indian origin, plus those of Syrian, Chinese, Portuguese, French and English descent), independent for less than forty years, has provided fertile ground for the creative tension between the imagination of the writer in his or her search for a habitable text of identity and the official discourse on nationalism in Trinidad and Tobago. This discourse has in turn been embedded in a struggle that propels the nation's story. Following on from this background, the study examines the changes and influences on the sense of nationalism and peoplehood caused by migration and the ethnicization of migrant communities in the metropoles.

Book Description
A brave young girl, a whimsical house, and a ticklish dragon help young readers see the world through Gaudí's eyes. Set in Casa Batlló, one of Antoni Gaudí's most renowned buildings, this joyful story introduces young readers to the architect's work, inciting their curiosity and imagination along the way. While her nanny is sleeping, young Paloma hears a noise. She climbs the stairs of her house until she reaches the roof, where a dragon is perched. Unafraid, Paloma reaches out to pet the dragon--but he is ticklish, and as he laughs, he spews a myriad of sea animals that he had unwittingly swallowed. The house is transformed into a dreamy aquarium and the dragon settles into a deep sleep on the roof. Cécile Alix's playful story and Fred Sochard's boldly graphic illustrations are the perfect accompaniment to Gaudí's exuberant vision. As readers make their way through Paloma's home, they are introduced to its fabulous elements--columns shaped like elephant legs; marine-inspired tiles, glass, and ironwork; and of course the spectacularly undulating, iridescent roof, which resembles a sleeping dragon. The end of the book includes a brief history of Gaudí's career and provides helpful background to Paloma's story. Kids will want to linger over the pictures and imagine what their own house would be like if a dragon were living on their roof.
