"Sally loved taking baths. It wasn't because the water was full of bubbles ... or because she had the bathroom all to herself ... and it was not because she always came out squeaky clean ... Sally loved taking baths because it was the only time she could talk to the little boy who lived down the drain. Sally found out about him when her mother sang to Sally's baby brother about Baa Baa Black Sheep and his three bags of wool ... one of which went to the little boy who lived down the drain. And thus a friendship was born. Every bath that Sally took was devoted to finding more out about her new friend."--Amazon.com.

Book Description
Men are dogs. It's true that both men and dogs can be cute and cuddly, fiercely loyal and affectionate-imperfectly endearing. Then again, they can also make a complete mess of the house, ignore you completely, and be downright disobedient. Luckily, the tried-and-true rules for bringing up Fido can be easily applied to the man-dog in your life, and Down, Boy!provides you with everything you'll need to keep him in line. This fun kit includes a flyswatter (to keep his hands off you at inappropriate moments), a mini water gun (to control his straying eyes), a score book (to chart his progress), a dog-training clicker (to make sure he pays attention), a refrigerator magnet (to remind him of the dos and do nots), sheets of helpful stickers (to teach him to "put the toilet seat down" and "put the TV remote away"), and a hilarious 64-page book of training techniques. Ultimately, your man will thank you for taking the time to train him properly-and for teaching him to be the best dog he can be.

Book Description
"'Manaen, my father's dead!' Antipas shrieked. His voice was shrill with terror. 'My life is in danger! Help me hide!' His eyes rolled wildly in his head as he searched for a hiding place. 'They'll surely kill me now. Help me, Manaen. Please help me.'" As a member of the household of Herod the Great, Manaen is immersed in an unpredictable and often violent world. In his search for truth and for love, he finds that it can also be a world of healing and restoration. Manaen is uniquely positioned to witness the entire life of Jesus Christ. The way their lives intertwine provides a fresh perspective on Jesus from the moment of his birth to his persecution, death, and resurrection. Will Manaen's prophecies come to pass, or is he just another false prophet? Though we see mention of the true Manaen in the Bible, we really know little about him. In her novel, "Manaen: Prophet to the King," Robbie Munn Bayler weaves fact and fiction together in a tale of intrigue, adventure, love, and betrayal. From the wealth of the palace to the depth of the tomb, "Manaen: Prophet to the King" is timeless and exciting. It is the story of the influence one man has on every life he touches. You can be a witness to history.

Book Description
There’s a hidden battleground in the sky—so says this classic novel from the award-winning author of the Peculiar Crimes Unit mysteries featuring Bryant & May. You’ll never look at a roof the same way again. . . . Welcome to Roofworld. High above London’s teeming streets exists a timeless universe with laws and codes known only to itself, suspended by a complex system of cables and wires. Two rival factions wrestle for control of this elevated realm—and eventually the city below. When a beautiful, feisty amateur photographer named Rose and a shy, cynical screenwriter named Robert witness a kidnapping on a London roof, they figure it’s an isolated incident. But after strange rooftop murders are reported almost daily, they have to know more. In their clumsy efforts to understand, they’re caught up in an intense power struggle between the forces of good and a power-mad tyrant manipulating society’s most hopeless citizens. Rose and Robert have a part to play in a war that’s nearly invisible from the ground—and nothing less than world domination is at stake. Look for Christopher Fowler’s fantasy and horror classics, now available as ebooks: CALABASH | DISTURBIA | PSYCHOVILLE | RED GLOVES | ROOFWORLD | SPANKY

Book Description
Lucius Decius Verus is the son of a Roman officer, Marcus Decius Verus, and his wife Camilla. They live in the north of England when that country is ruled by Rome around the time when Hadrian’s Wall is being built, about 122 AD. When he is only a few months old the couple, while driving through a wild storm, negligently lose the child from the carriage they are travelling in. The child, Lucius, is found by a local woman, Mora, who decides to keep the child. And she names the baby boy Corio. Camilla blames Marcus for the loss of her baby, the one love in her life, and she leaves him and goes south to live with her sister. Mora is later murdered by her husband, Vero, when Corio is three years old. So, Mora’s friend, Liva, and her husband, Agar, take over the responsibilities of raising Corio as their son. The boy grows up with his adopted parents, learning to farm while interacting with some of the Roman population, learning a little Latin in the process. When Corio is fourteen years old, unbeknown to him, his natural father Marcus is injured in battle and his mother Virginia, a tall, bossy woman, comes to look after her son and decides to stay indefinitely. When she is visiting a friend, Natalia, she sees the boy there and is startled by his likeness to her son Marcus.
