The Magician's Secret
Author: Zachary Hyman
Publisher: Tundra Books
ISBN: 1770498966
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 47
Book Description
This action-adventure picture book featuring a grandfather and grandson duo celebrates the power of imagination and the magic of make believe. Charlie loves when Grandpa comes to babysit because he always brings his magical imagination. Grandpa was a magician who knows the most amazing tricks; he can pull a rabbit from a hat and make a coin disappear. But what Charlie loves most are his wonderful adventure stories, and they all begin with something his grandfather has saved in his Magic Story Chest. An hourglass is a reminder of how he defended the treasure in King Tut's tomb from raiders. A long white scarf inspires the story about Grandpa's dogfight with the notorious Red Baron, the great First World War fighter pilot. A coconut shell heralds the story about his encounter with a nasty Tyrannosaurus Rex. Charlie's parents, though, aren't too sure they like Grandpa's stories and warn Charlie that they're just "tall tales." What is Charlie to believe? How can his grandpa convince him that all you need to do is believe and a dream can be turned into something real?

Dawn's Early Light
Author: Johnny Sundstrom
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1462866182
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 395
Book Description
The year was 1849. The wagon train moved slowly along the parched Oregon Trail in the empty desolation that was to become known as southern Wyoming. Martha Bradford was told she must discard either her cast-iron cook stove or her pianola to lighten the burden for the oxen. She has them both unloaded and then refuses to go on any further: “She declared that if the only things that made her life worth living were being left behind, they’d just as well leave both the stove and the pianola, and her with them.” This novel is based on the next six generations of her family and the first ranch settled in that part of the country. Here are real cowboys and cowgirls, Indians of the past and present, a faith-challenged evangelist, a militant suffragette, newspaper owner, and many others, linked together by their hard work, rowdy pleasures, their spiritual beliefs or non-beliefs, and stitched into a panoramic story-quilt representing the dream of the Morning Star and its hopeful annunciation of a new day rising in the Old West.

Pages : 493
Book Description
On the Dead Planet in the Heritia galaxy, demons converge to prepare for battle. They are led by Kazar, the most evil of demons. He has a devious plan to overtake the galaxy and to rule Heritia, but to do so he must first conquer those with powers that threaten his agenda. For instance, on the planet of Alkemmila, it is possible for youth to connect with nature and learn to harness its elemental power or strength. One such youth is Shun Kazano, Kazar's main target. Kazar murdered Shun's parents, leaving him an orphan. Since the loss of his parents, however, Shun has become strong. He has harnessed the power of the wind, and even well-trained soldiers and fellow power fighters don't stand a chance against him. Although Kazar wants to add Shun's strength to his own, Shun chooses instead to fight against him. Shun is not alone in the battle against Kazar. There are others with power over the elements, and with the right training they could become an army worthy to fight the demons of the Dead Planet. Shun keeps his past a secret, though-something that could cause a rift among the fighters. Will an argument give Kazar a way to win and rule the galaxy, or will Shun and his new friends fulfill their destiny and save the galaxy from a ruthless, evil dictator?
