Chester and Gus
Author: Cammie McGovern
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062330705
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
Critically acclaimed author Cammie McGovern presents a heartwarming and humorous middle grade novel about the remarkable bond that forms between an aspiring service dog and an autistic boy in need of a friend. “Joyful, inspiring, and completely winning, Chester and Gus is unforgettable,” proclaimed Katherine Applegate, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Newbery Medal winner The One and Only Ivan. Chester has always wanted to become a service dog. When he fails his certification test, though, it seems like that dream will never come true—until a family adopts him. They want him to be a companion for their ten-year-old son, Gus, who has autism. But Gus acts so differently than anyone Chester has ever met. He never wants to pet Chester, and sometimes he doesn’t even want Chester in the room. Chester’s not sure how to help Gus since this isn’t exactly the job he trained for—but he’s determined to figure it out. Because after all, Gus is now his person. In the spirit of beloved classics like Because of Winn-Dixie, Shiloh, and Old Yeller, Cammie McGovern’s heartfelt novel—told from Chester’s point of view—explores the extraordinary friendship between a child and a dog with a poignant and modern twist.

Motivation and Opportunity
Author: Augustus C. Ouano
Publisher: Wheatmark, Inc.
ISBN: 1587366002
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
Life is indeed uncertain; it's an odyssey subject to natural, social, and economic pressures, which influence its course. However, it's the inner fire and drive in each individual that ultimately govern and determine the whole course of each human life. If an individual's motivation is sufficiently strong, it will weather through the ever-changing environment until an opportunity opens, which can allow one's desires to be fulfilled. This is the story of a third-world country immigrant who came to the United States to quench his thirst for knowledge and his desire to participate in, and to contribute to, the science and technology of the twenty-first century. It tells about his struggles, his pain of failures, and the ecstasy of his successes to become a renowned scientist and technologist, and a major contributor to modern science and technology. It also tells about love, the celebration of life, and the grief of losing his most beloved wife through cancer. Finally, it describes how he escaped from the corrosive grip of extreme bitterness into gratefulness for an exceptionally fulfilling life and the promise of the future generation he is holding in his arms.

The Amethyst
Author: Augustus Glazier
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1387799673

Pages : 170
Book Description
Mysteriously awakening in an alien world with knights, dragons, and powerful spirits, John fights to forge his own destiny, and realize a part of himself he'd lost. John finds that he is the Oracle of the Sun, and everyone claims he looks strikingly similar to the previous Oracle who went missing as Broken hunts him down. Broken is what one would describe as discarnate; he has six hands and no body to accommodate his comically large top hat. For the most part, he acts as the antagonist, but there are others that seek a way to the gods through John as well.
