Seeking rest and relaxation, the four friends must instead find answers to the arrival and mission of two mysterious black-eyed children. In "The Village" from Alton Gansky, a visit to a guarded and secretive small town in North Carolina becomes the most challenging mystery they've ever faced--as they race to solve a problem they barely understand before time runs out.

The Pursuit
Author: Bill Myers
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781543113259
Category : Fairies
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Four books in one! In PIERCING THE VEIL, A young psychic (whose ego is even more amazing than his good looks) convinces Brenda to join him in traversing the spirit world. Together they visit the Gate's headquarters and experience the organization's twisting and imprisoning of human souls. In HOME BASE, Chad Thorton, the newest member of the team, thinks it's time to transform from a hastily assembled gaggle of individuals to a team with a focus, a mission, and a home base. The others resist the idea . . . until they're all targeted in their various home towns. They come together, battered and confused, to the hotel that is Chad's chosen headquarters-but they'll soon find out that they're not safe even there. In FAIRY, When the Harbingers team is sent to Mexico to search for a fairy, Andi is thinking of pretty wings and magic wands until they are shown the dead body of an actual winged creature. From where did these things come, and why has there been no sighting of them until now? When someone reminds them of an age-old prediction, the "fairies" seem much more sinister than charming. In AT SEA, Tank and the Harbingers team have faced strange and frightening things in the past. This might be the strangest. Every trial they've faced, they've faced together, but now they don't even recognize each other-or themselves. Tank awakens on a bed in a small room. He doesn't know where he is. Worse, he doesn't know who he is. The image in the mirror is that of a stranger wearing a tuxedo. Before long, Tank learns that he's on an old style cruise ship-a powerless vessel adrift on a flat ocean, lost in a gray fog that blankets everything under the flat gray sky. Tank doesn't like the fog. Or the ship that periodically shuffles its decks. Soon, Tank learns that he's not the only being on the mystery ship. He begins to wish he was.

The Witches
Author: Stacy Schiff
Publisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 0316200611
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 718
Book Description
The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Cleopatra, the #1 national bestseller, unpacks the mystery of the Salem Witch Trials. It began in 1692, over an exceptionally raw Massachusetts winter, when a minister's daughter began to scream and convulse. It ended less than a year later, but not before 19 men and women had been hanged and an elderly man crushed to death. The panic spread quickly, involving the most educated men and prominent politicians in the colony. Neighbors accused neighbors, parents and children each other. Aside from suffrage, the Salem Witch Trials represent the only moment when women played the central role in American history. In curious ways, the trials would shape the future republic. As psychologically thrilling as it is historically seminal, The Witches is Stacy Schiff's account of this fantastical story -- the first great American mystery unveiled fully for the first time by one of our most acclaimed historians.

Give War and Peace a Chance
Author: Andrew D. Kaufman
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1451644728
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
“This lively appreciation of one of the most intimidating and massive novels ever written should persuade many hesitant readers to try scaling the heights of War and Peace sooner rather than later” (Publishers Weekly). Considered by many critics the greatest novel ever written, War and Peace is also one of the most feared. And at 1,500 pages, it’s no wonder why. Still, in July 2009 Newsweek put War and Peace at the top of its list of 100 great novels and a 2007 edition of the AARP Bulletin included the novel in their list of the top four books everybody should read by the age of fifty. A New York Times survey from 2009 identified War and Peace as the world classic you’re most likely to find people reading on their subway commute to work. What might all those Newsweek devotees, senior citizens, and harried commuters see in a book about the Napoleonic Wars in the early 1800s? War and Peace is many things. It is a love story, a family saga, a war novel. But at its core it’s a novel about human beings attempting to create a meaningful life for themselves in a country torn apart by war, social change, political intrigue, and spiritual confusion. It is a mirror of our times. Give War and Peace a Chance takes readers on a journey through War and Peace that reframes their very understanding of what it means to live through troubled times and survive them. Touching on a broad range of topics, from courage to romance, parenting to death, Kaufman demonstrates how Tolstoy’s wisdom can help us live fuller, more meaningful lives. The ideal companion to War and Peace, this book “makes Tolstoy’s characters lively and palpable…and may well persuade readers to finally dive into one of the world’s most acclaimed—and daunting—novels” (Kirkus Reviews).
