Book Description
When a sinister old woman leaves Griffin Penshine a box of twelve shiny pennies, she sets in motion a desperate quest—because the old woman was a wish stealer, and each penny represents a wish she stole from a wishing fountain decades earlier. Somehow, Griffin has to make things right, or the opposite of her own wishes will come true—and it could literally be a matter of life and death. The Wish Stealers introduces a new voice in middle-grade fantasy, as bright and sparkling as Griffin’s pennies.

Stolen
Author: Elizabeth Gilpin
Publisher: Grand Central Publishing
ISBN: 1538735423
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
A gripping chronicle of psychological manipulation and abuse at a “therapeutic” boarding school for troubled teens, and how one young woman fought to heal in the aftermath. At fifteen, Elizabeth Gilpin was an honor student, a state-ranked swimmer and a rising soccer star, but behind closed doors her undiagnosed depression was wreaking havoc on her life. Growing angrier by the day, she began skipping practices and drinking to excess. At a loss, her parents turned to an educational consultant who suggested Elizabeth be enrolled in a behavioral modification program. That recommendation would change her life forever. The nightmare began when she was abducted from her bed in the middle of the night by hired professionals and dropped off deep in the woods of Appalachia. Living with no real shelter was only the beginning of her ordeal: she was strip-searched, force-fed, her name was changed to a number and every moment was a test of physical survival. After three brutal months, Elizabeth was transferred to a boarding school in Southern Virginia that in reality functioned more like a prison. Its curriculum revolved around a perverse form of group therapy where students were psychologically abused and humiliated. Finally, at seventeen, Elizabeth convinced them she was rehabilitated enough to “graduate” and was released. In this eye-opening and unflinching book, Elizabeth recalls the horrors she endured, the friends she lost to suicide and addiction, and—years later—how she was finally able to pick up the pieces of her life and reclaim her identity.

In Search of Shared Wishes

Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1525502956
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 43
Book Description
“Why do walls extend as far as a prisoner escapes? How do wars mirror free will?” These are some of the key questions that Mansour Noorbakhsh asks us in his debut poetry book, In Search of Shared Wishes. Dedicated to the child victims of war, this epic and lyric poem arises from Noorbakhsh’s ruminations about the vital signs of a peaceful world, and how these signs have been damaged by systems of corruption and war. Told through multiple perspectives—including that of an angel who has come to Earth to save it from its own destruction—In Search of Shared Wishes creates a dialogue about fear, violence, and free will. Multicultural legends and literary allusions are interwoven throughout the text, producing a diversified and rich understanding of identity and history. It is Mansour Noorbakhsh’s hope that his writing and expressive working through of difficult topics will encourage readers to think critically and empathetically about our current world in crisis, fostering a discussion of love and compassion so that the vital signs of a peaceful world can be restored.

"Michael McCarty's 'A Little Help from My Fiends' truly shines. His collection of short stories is a lovingly created, watered with blood and harvested at the peak of ripeness kind of work. The approach to the collection is so fresh that -- were it a steak -- you would note still a bit of warmth and even a faint pulse. You see, each story in this collection is co-authored with another excellent storyteller. Mark McLaughlin, Terrie Leigh Relf and Dave Miller, to name a few, make appearances. Each short story is prefaced with a few words that identify the co-author, point to an interesting tidbit of the tale's creation, and never fail to show McCarty lauding the co-author while remaining modestly in the background." -- Sylvia Cochran
