Book Description
The Bible is the living Word of God. However, even for children that love to read, it is sometimes difficult for kids to understand. As a result they often become discouraged and quit reading the most exciting and bestselling book ever written! In this book, Matthew, a ten-year-old boy starts reading his Bible, but like many kids he struggles to understand what he is reading. Then, an angel named Andy starts showing up in his dreams and begins taking him back in time to witness firsthand how the stories in the Bible are exciting! In these adventures, the Bible stories come to life. Andy is not your normal angel. Andy is short and stocky with curly red hair and has freckles on his cheeks. His wings are short instead of long and flowing like all the other angels, and he likes wearing a basketball jersey, shorts, and tennis shoes! Each Bible adventure is described with its exciting twists and turns as seen through the eyes of ten-year-old Matthew and Andy, his quirky angel sidekick!

Book Description
“A complete success…action fans and PBS types can share their enthusiasm” (Booklist, starred review) when a young Queen Elizabeth I is thrust into a gripping game of deception and lust at the height of the Ottoman Empire in this edge-of-your-seat historical thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of The Great Zoo of China and Temple. The year is 1546, and Suleiman the Magnificent, the feared Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, issues an invitation to every king in Europe: You are invited to send your finest player to compete in a chess tournament to determine the champion of the known world. Thousands converge on Constantinople, including the English court’s champion and his guide, the esteemed scholar Roger Ascham. Seeing a chance to enlighten the mind of a student, Ascham brings along Elizabeth Tudor, a brilliant young woman not yet consumed by royal duties in Henry VIII’s court. Yet on the opening night of the tournament, a powerful guest of the Sultan is murdered. Soon, barbaric deaths, diplomatic corruption, and unimaginable depravity—sexual and otherwise—unfold before Elizabeth’s and Ascham’s eyes. The pair soon realizes that the real chess game is being played within the court itself…and its most treacherous element is that a stranger in a strange land is only as safe as her host is gracious.

Cool for America
Author: Andrew Martin
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 0374718237
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
Expanding the world of his classic-in-the-making debut novel Early Work, Andrew Martin’s Cool for America is a hilarious collection of overlapping stories that explores the dark zone between artistic ambition and its achievement The collection is bookended by the misadventures of Leslie, a young woman (first introduced in Early Work) who moves from New York to Missoula, Montana to try to draw herself out of a lingering depression, and, over the course of the book, gains painful insight into herself through a series of intense friendships and relationships. Other stories follow young men and women, alone and in couples, pushing hard against, and often crashing into, the limits of their abilities as writers and partners. In one story, two New Jersey siblings with substance-abuse problems relapse together on Christmas Eve; in another, a young couple tries to make sense of an increasingly unhinged veterinarian who seems to be tapping, deliberately or otherwise, into the unspoken troubles between them. In tales about characters as they age from punk shows and benders to book clubs and art museums, the promise of community acts—at least temporarily—as a stay against despair. Running throughout Cool for America is the characters’ yearning for transcendence through art: the hope that, maybe, the perfect, or even just the good-enough sentence, can finally make things right.
